ayxl Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I just saw this on the Ryerson documents upload page: Unofficial transcripts will be accepted for evaluation purposes. Unofficial transcripts printed from a student information system or links to an external student information system will not be accepted. All official transcripts will be required only if an Offer of Admission is issued. does anyone know how accurate this is? I can see on my ACORN (I went to U of T for undergrad) that Ryerson has ordered a copy of my transcript....... so does it mean what I think it means? or am I overreacting now???? ?

Bellis-Perennis Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 @Anniemsw @FK@UofT I think someone last year actually called the Grad Studies Office to ask and they indirectly confirmed that Invited means accepted. But no, Angela can't confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on last year, anyone know when we can look forward to official mail? I'm assuming this week, if not, next? So many exciting things! Thinking of all my peers who are still anxiously waiting, may you hear positive news soon! I've looked through the forum from last year and I think they go in the mail today but depending on where you live, you could get it next week. My waitlist letter last year was dated Feb 20 or 21 and I only got it March 1st (I'm in Ottawa), others received theirs on Feb 23rd and they lived in downtown Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy1 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If it doesn't say anything on ACORN yet should I safely assume it's a waitlist or rejection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabeth79 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I just checked and my ACORN says Invited! I'm a little confused as my SGS still says "under review", but from reading above, should I assume that's normal? Suppose waiting for the physical mail is best but still excited!

You have contributed a lot to the field so I don't see a reason why they wouldn't accept you. There is still hope for you to be accepted to U of T. Today was only the first day they sent out acceptances. I really hope you hear soon from U of T and Ryerson! I applied to York and Laurier's Advanced Standing MSW Programs.

Don't worry you have an incredible resume. If it's not U of t it will be somewhere else. When did you graduate with your BSW? Sometimes school want to see you working and volunteering for a few years before they accept you but who knows really! I'm happy to give you some pointers after we all hear back at the end of this that my friends shared with me who have finished their MSWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MirandaVC Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi, everyone! Just signed up and congrats to everyone who has been accepted so far. I applied to York and Ryerson. Has anyone heard back from either yet? I know Ryerson probably won't be for a bit because I recall them saying they'd begin rolling out acceptances mid March but what about York?
