Submitted on the day of the deadline for Advanced Standing (same deadline as 2 year) and one of the first to hear back - I don't think this matters much as long as you submit all requirements on time.

Laurier is also a very well-known school, and is actually known to be more competitive than UofT. You will have no problem finding employment afterwards!

I also paid a while back and still says "Invited" and shows CR $500. Does yours?

you are required to accept or decline your offer 4 weeks after receiving your letter (that's what mine says) and deposit is due june 1.

This might be a silly question but I just want to confirm something - does a full-time final year consist of 5 courses? im wondering because i took courses sporadically in my last year of my bsw (example, 2nd year - 2 courses in my first semester and 3 in my second semester). In my offer my condition if that I receive at least a mid B in my final year of study - how many courses would that consist of? Or do the amount of courses not matter?

My experiences were similar. I just made the GPA to be admitted but hours and references were strong. I think they place a lot of value on your personal statement too. I was admitted to Dalhousie with a very low GPA a couple of years ago but after talking to faculty once I was there, they mentioned my personal statement is what got me in so perhaps it's similar across SW programs?

I admire your experience! I’m curious to know what type of practicum you’re hoping to get into during the program?

Just received mine too! YAY! Congrats! We are in the same stream. Looking forward to connecting with you

Yes! just this morning. no confirmation email yet though.

someone on a fb group mentioned it took 2-3 days.

Have any UofT people paid the deposit already? Or are you waiting to get the letter?

AMAZING!!! CONGRATS!!!

You will only find out once the letter/update on SGS is sent out. Acorn won’t say.

You need to send *official* transcripts to the school (all of your transcripts you initially used for applying).

Advanced standing acceptances have begun! I know someone who applied to the 2 year last year and they got their acceptance at the end of March.

My last name starts with O and i applied to the children and their families stream.

from people who got accepted last year.. yes.

no email yet, just an invite on acorn and deposit. I heard it takes a few days for it to come up on the SGS platform.

Have an invite and deposit to UofT AS too! omg!

For what program and stream?

omg did they actually write this!?

Hii! I was wondering what your volunteer/hours were at the time of the application? Do you think anything in particular stood out from your application?

Hello, I hope this is okay to ask. I was just wondering what your volunteer/work hours were when you applied for these streams at the time of your waitlist status?

I'd be interested to know when folks heard back from UofT last year for Advanced Standing..?
