Hoping for the best - for all of my fellow neurotics on gradcafe haha . When did you hear from U of T/what stream did you apply to?

Jessica_11 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hi All! I've been accepted to the full-time MSW program at Laurier this fall (so excited) and had previously been waitlisted at Western however I found out this week that I have been accepted to Western as well. I had already mentally committed to Laurier but now I'm doing some research to compare the programs and would love to hear from others who are currently attending either Western or Laurier ? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's so exciting. I got waitlisted at UofT and Windsor and I hope I get into UofT as well. If you don't mind me asking what was your GPA for the last 2 years and what kind of social service experience did you have?

sunflower21 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Has anyone going to Lakehead HBSW (in Thunder Bay or Orillia) heard anything about course selection for the summer/other info about the program?

One more question for ya: How long did U of T give you to accept your offer? Just wondering what the turn around looks like for the first round that has gone out. Thanks much!

From what I remember, HBSW program students are e-mailed directly when they can select courses and are provided specific info pertaining to them. I always got the impression that Lakehead handles their HBSW students a little separately from the rest of the student population. For instance, I would get generic e-mails that were relevant to all Lakehead students, then get something that was more specific to just the HBSW students. If you haven't gotten any info about course registration yet, I wouldn't worry, I'm sure it's coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My admission letter outlined 4 different courses I would have to take for the summer semester that I have been eligible to enrol in for a few weeks now. I completed my enrolment about 1 week ago. Be sure to check your admission letter first. Not sure if the Orillia campus is the same though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lulu76 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Help! I'm trying to decide between part-time/distance BSW programs at Dalhousie, Renison (Waterloo) and McMaster. Are any of these schools considered better than the others? ... all are accredited. Any insight is much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any insight is much appreciated I just got into the post-degree BSW program at McMaster! I really like that they include an Indigenous Pathway in their social work programs, which I haven't really seen at other schools on the BSW level.

SOCIALWERK2020 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 To everyone who was accepted to U of T's Advanced Standing program, When was your deadline to accept or reject your offer? I heard some people saying they had mid-May dates on theirs, but I'm wondering if there are any more dates coming up? Sincerely, from someone still on the waitlist. ?
