Did they say how many applicants there were for this cohort and how many they were accepting?

Hey, My Loris has updated now because I got the official email from fgps. I guess the one last night from our enrollment advisors were just to let us know we were in.

SC-MSW 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Congrats to everyone that got into Laurier's Online MSW Program! For those who accepted, did Laurier state the types of scholarships and/or funding a candidate could receive? Thanks!

From what I understand, because it is a part-time grad program the only way to get the funding is to first apply to OSAP. I may be misunderstanding, but it seemed all the internal scholarship options were only available to full-time students.

I myself have a 4 years Honours BaSc from Guelph, no thesis and 4500 hours of work and volunteer in the vulnerable sector, (intake amongst other responsibilities in psychology practices). My gpa is not the best it could be but it is decent. I'm quite concerned with my grades and as well as the limited "Direct" experience I applied for the part time online 2 year msw program for Sept 2019 cohort.

I unfortunately did not get in (however I don't mean to scare you)! You just may not have gotten an email yet, so I suggest checking there I applied to the advanced standing program.

My gpa is not the best it could be but it is decent. I'm quite concerned with my grades and as well as the limited "Direct" experience I applied for the part time online 2 year msw program for Sept 2019 cohort. I mostly am a research assistant at the hospital, but I do have direct contact with mental health patients and I've often facilitated recreational groups, which I know one of my references did highlight, and that reference is a registered social worker. So no, it definitely isn't directly related to social work, but I think they consider it pretty close since it is in a therapeutic capacity. It's really tough I know, cause it's hard to find direct clinical expeirence without a masters, and you can't seem to get a masters without direct clinical experience!!! Grades was my concern as well, and i spent the last year upgrading a few courses through athabasca online courses. I remember them saying that you need at least a B to be considered, but it isn't competitive unless you have an A-... so I spent the last year slowly upgrading my gpa by taking 3 courses through athabasca online.

I did recently accept a full-time position in the field and so I am happy about that, hoping to re-apply again in the future! I am not sure how to post a screenshot here, but when I logged into my account there is the option to press "admissions", so I clicked that, then clicked "display admissions applications", then clicked the "Master of Social Work" link there and it opened a page where it informed me I had not been accepted. If it doesn't say anything yet, then I'm not too sure - you may not have received anything yet. My fingers are crossed for you!! all the best.
