I am an older student who changed career paths (international relations/anthropology), went back to school and received my BSW in 2017. I applied to Waterloo and Laurier distance based advanced standing MSW part-time programs. I had a GPA of 4.1 and 10,000 hours of human service related work (policy and service delivery with rural/remote communities, international field work, working with Indigenous populations) and volunteering (service delivery, outreach, and board work). My placements were in Child Protection and the Family Violence Intervention Court. I work with refugees, particularly women who have experienced prolonged captivity and extreme sexual and gender based violence. My personal statement reflected this work and clinical skills I hope to develop to further support this population. I was accepted at Laurier, and am still waiting to hear from Waterloo.

veecee Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Waitlisted at Carleton for 2 year program ? Does any one know by any chance if people are normally accepted off the wait list, or can I pretty much consider this a rejection?
Laurabeth79 Posted February 18, 2019 Posted February 18, 2019 Congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far! Does anyone have any idea when Ryerson typically sends out decisions? I can't seem to find any information on their website that even gives an estimate. Thanks!
