blivingstone Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Hi everyone! Sorry if someone asked this earlier, but I've applied to York and University of Toronto and I'm wondering if anyone who was accepted last year could let me know when they got their acceptance. I'm definitely anxious to find out, and it would help to have an idea of when the decisions will be released! Here's to complicated university websites that make it virtually impossible to locate really basic information ?

You can try using the search tool for last year's threads and the results page if nobody from last year sees this post. Not many universities (that I've seen) post estimated result periods.

University of Toronto acceptances are expected to go out anywhere from mid-February to mid-April! At least that's what I found in the online info booklet! Edited January 28, 2019 by Dal2UofT

Here's to complicated university websites that make it virtually impossible to locate really basic information Hello! I received my acceptance the very last week of March for the two year program. That is the earliest I would expect the two year decisions to come out based on my multiple years of applying... one year program decisions are usually what come out in February
Anniemsw Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Does anyone know what the method of being notified of acceptance is? Will it be to the email I applied with or do I constantly check the site... lol

For advanced standing students, this was done between Feb 20th and the end of February, which I'm assuming will be the same thing year as it was for the last two years.
SC-MSW 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Hello Everyone! Is anyone aware of when Laurier and York would notify applicants if they have received entrance into their Advanced Standing MSW Program for September 2019? When I last contacted both schools Laurier told me that they are hoping to give out acceptances late February/early March, and York told me they give out acceptances in April/May. Has anyone else heard something different? Thank you.
SW-kNM Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Hello, has anyone applied to University of the Fraser Valley MSW??? If so have you heard back for September, 2019 intake?

FK@UofT Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 UGH. At that point though, I'm just torturing myself by waiting for the package to come through. The wait is ridiculous!!! I'm self-soothing by telling myself its one more week till next Friday, then we got the weekend, and then we buckle down for those acceptances!

I was really interested in it but was wondering how long it typically takes to complete! I know it says 1 year but their website says I can take 2 as well, so just a little confused... How was your practicum experience?? Thank you in advance!! Hi @Deanna11! Sorry for the late reply (I haven't been on the forum in a while :$) I was able to complete the program in just under a year. I started July 4, 2017 and completed my final placement and classes June 16, 2018. Some classmates took a bit longer, just depending on how quick they were completing their placement hours and when they were placed. I just managed to get a placement in December 2017 so I could start January 2018 and just pump as many hours as I could in at once. Started doing placement 4 days a week. I also worked through my reading week, and anytime I got sick or had to miss a placement day, I would make it up on my day off. Once I completed most of my courses and just had my placement, I did placement 5 days a week since my course load was a lot lighter. My placement provided me with that flexibility which was nice. As for my practicum, I worked at a shelter, so I was exposed to so many different populations and situations which was really good. One drawback though was that there was no counselling services on sight or RSW (I did work with people who graduated with a BSW, SSW and MPsychotherapy). So I didn't get experience with counselling and how that works. However, I did get to assist in facilitating assessments, phone screenings, housing applications, and workshops, among other things. If you get into the program, I recommend being really on top of your placements and giving your coordinator feedback (or lack of feedback) from placement opportunities. A few of us were placed very last minute (either in December or later), so we had to take whatever placement was given. If you have contacts at agencies, give that information to your coordinator so they can talk to the agency as soon as they can. I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, please let me know! I promise I will be on more frequently haha
