whatdidigetinto Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Have you heard anything yet? I also applied to this program, and was also told the end of February. I haven't heard anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammySam Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have not heard of anything yet.... I am checking my e-mails daily. I did notice though that in the beginning the deadline was March 23rd and now it was March 1st. I noticed that change mid February when I got the call that I'll know by end of February.

whatdidigetinto Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I didn't check/notice that. I was initially told they were doing rolling admissions, I'd hear in 2 weeks. It got pushed back every time I talked with them. Maybe they changed their mind on the rolling admissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammySam Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Oh really? I didn't know about the rolling admissions. And maybe? I really don't know. I am just hoping for the best at this point. Trying to stay positive. But it's sooo frustrating. Do I make summer plans? Because I would need to book of the time ASAP. I am sure you're in the same boat ahaha.

whatdidigetinto Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm also feeling the frustration. It'd be nice to know what's going on. Or when they call to say they'll let you know by the end of February, you still wouldn't be left wondering in early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammySam Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Right!? Honestly though. They said end of February and now it's March. I was feeling confident about my application and now I am second guessing my application because I haven't heard of anything. And I know generally speaking they send out acceptances first then wait list and then rejections if it's not rolling admission. All my eggs are in Laurier too.

whatdidigetinto Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks for reassuring me that I'm not the only person who hasn't heard anything. It makes me second-guess what I wrote, wonder if somehow I simply didn't get an email I should have, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammySam Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Of course! The same thoughts are going through my mind too. I will keep you posted regardless whether or not I get accepted. All the best to you! And good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdidigetinto Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks. I will keep you posted too, as it feels somewhat isolating not knowing what's going on. Good luck to you too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammySam Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 I completely agree with you! And I must admit it's a little bit comforting to know that I am not the only one who has not heard of anything yet. There's still hope! And thank you! Take care!

whatdidigetinto Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I've also posted in the main Canadian MSW applications thread. Another response there from someone who hasn't heard anything, contacted Laurier about the part-time program and was told letters would be sent out at the end of March. That's some serious short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammySam Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 oh thank you for sharing! and that's short notice indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skd05 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Hey guys, I am in the same boat. I was told january and then February and now "a few more weeks". Really looking forward and hopeful to get into this program. I wonder how many applicants versus spots there are? Hope we all get news soon!

When I applied I was told the class size is 25 people. I'm curious how many applicants there are too, especially when they keep extending the timeframe for getting back to you and close the application period early. I believe that since it's online, it's open to anyone in Canada. That should really increase the application pool since you don't have to be within a reasonable proximity to campus.

I also thought people would prefer to start in September, to take the summer off first. Is this the first time they're offering it online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skd05 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Yes it is the first time it is offered which is why i applied right away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammySam Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I know for the full time 2 year program they had just over 900 applicants last year and 90 spots so I am wondering if we would be expecting the same number of applicants? we just have 25 spots though and the different format of course it being online... and running in the summer months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skd05 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yeah! I mean the application window was so short i would be shocked if 900 people completed applications but maybe thats me being optimistic... lol my eggs are all in lauriers basket so praying over here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
