Hello, Congrats to everyone! Very long time lurker, I was planning to apply a MSW before the pandemic, but then decided to hold off. It was the only program I applied to, and the first time. I was definitely surprised when I received the email this afternoon that a spot opened up, and I was bring offered a spot to the U of T 2-year MSW program (Mental Health stream). I only bothered checking the email I used to apply because I saw how many people were being accepted off the waitlist on here. Background: I had about 13,500 hours from 2010 to now. The bulk of that has come from joining the leadership team of a grassroots organization in my community and a a couple recent full time jobs. Right now I work with Black identifying youth in the justice system, so spoke about that experience in my statement. My GPA was not very high, I believe 3.3 (out of 4.0) and high 70s for my research courses. I did my undergrad at U of T, majors Sociology, Crim, minor Anthro. Then during pandemic, I decided to do an Accelerated CYC program at Humber, and that helped me with getting two full time, directly related jobs during the pandemic. As well, more experience through placements. If anyone has any questions, let me know. Just beyond excited to see you all in September. *I am also hoping that someone has created a Whatsapp group, I will keep checking. Does anyone know if there is a part time option for the program?
