mswmbapp Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 This is kind of an advance question. Does anyone know if UofT MSW professors request lots of textbooks for their classes? Just want to assess the future expenses and stuff.
MSWfuture001 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Does anyone have any info on the 1 year msw waitlist at Western? Has anyone been moved off the waitlist? Edited March 17, 2019 by MSWfuture001
Jessica_11 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Hi All! We are almost there, we likely only have a few more weeks of waiting left (if you're like me and are waiting to hear from Laurier) ! I am wondering if anyone has any insight/information about the waitlist for the two year MSW program at Western? Thanks! Edited March 18, 2019 by Jessica_11
Socwrk2 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Does anyone else's MyFile for York still say "no decision yet - currently under consideration" ? I am aware that some people's MyFile's updated to acceptances so I am wondering what this means Edited March 18, 2019 by Socwrk2

I spoke to the admissions assistant last week who said it can take as long as Monday for the decisions (including acceptances) to be processed ..but who knows..

Did they give out their acceptances already for Advanced Standing and Two-Year this past week? I was assuming that the Two-Year program would hear a little later this month.

I'm in the program now and I haven't spent that much on textbooks to be honest, in fact you could probably get away without them. I guess it depends on your specialization stream. I'm in Mental Health and a lot of my readings have been articles posted online. I did buy one textbook for SW Practice in Mental Health but I have been using this textbook still even in my placement, particularly the chapter on mental status exams. I think it was $60. The core research course that everyone has to take (Research for EBP) students have been circulating a pirated pdf copy to each other so you don't need to buy that textbook. If you or anyone else ends up attending the program DM me and I'll e-mail you the textbook for that class.

Not knowing if there were any acceptances to the two year program is making me anxious haha I tried calling the office to inquire but I'm always getting sent to voicemail!

I definitely hear you on feeling anxious! I'm waiting to hear back from York as well. I feel like the Two-Year applicants will hear closer to the end of this month... Speaking of which, it has been going by so slowly!! Hurry up March. Giantoreo 1
aspiringmsw2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Is there a penalty for accepting a school and then later rejecting it for another offer? is there a deposit fee you have to pay upon acceptance?

They said that the two year program acceptances will be released 2-3 weeks from now!

FeministDreams Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Thank you again for creating this space!

SW-kNM Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Has anyone on this forum been accepted to UFV MSW or MSW- foundational? If so did they follow through with an in person interview prior to admission decision?

I also received that information from admissions. They said we should know all decisions within about 1-2 weeks - they have not given out any rejections yet either from my understanding.

(Such a long wait ) Yikes! I heard end of March/early April. By looking at previous threads from 2017-2018, people heard back about their admission acceptance for the Laurier 2-Year MSW around April 3rd-ish at the latest. The May/June admission notices are for the online program, probably... Edited March 20, 2019 by SageAU mswash 1

(Such a long wait ) Oh no, hopefully it's not May or June. When I emailed admissions back in January they said that they were expecting to have decisions out at the end of March/beginning of April and based on previous threads it looks like most people heard the first week of April for the 2 year program. Did you apply for the September 2019 start date Nicole? Edited March 20, 2019 by Jessica_11
