Hey, I got into Western! I don’t know about UofT, but hours of experience definitely matter for Western. I had over 4500 hours of social work and human services experience. Here is the breakdown for how admissions “grades” your application at Western: • Western gives you a score out of 100 for solely your academics • A score out of a 100 for non-academic points which is comprised of both your resume/human services experience (worth 40 points) as well as how well you answered your supplemental questions (worth 60 points). Grades are weighed the most heavily at Western, but experience is very important too and of course how well you answer the supplemental questions. I feel like you’re a very well rounded candidate! All that’s left is to try to increase those hours! I wish you the best of luck 🙂

Hey everyone. I applied to the advanced standing MSW program at Western and have heard nothing back. Someone on a forum said Western has put them on the waitlist for advanced standing on Friday (March 24). I heard nothing on Friday. My status still says " app released to program." I thought typically grad schools release rejections, waitlists, and acceptances at the same time. Or perhaps acceptances a little bit before waitlists and rejections. Im starting to feel really anxious as I have heard absolutely nothing. I do know another person who has also not heard anything though. It's almost April and i'm surprised I haven't heard anything at all. If anyone has any insight to this it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have also applied to Western MSW advanced standing have you heard back yet?

Does anyone know what order the admissions committee usually put out acceptances, rejections, and waitlists? I'm wondering if there is an order to this or if all three typically come out at the same time? I'm curious if schools generally put out acceptances for grad programs first and then waitlists and rejections after or vice versa. I would love to know if anyone has any insight to this!
