Acorn changed on Sunday, I just received an email to check SGS where "under review" had changed to "decision made" and there was a new link underneath to download a "decision document". For those still waiting, I believe someone confirmed this is just the first round of acceptances, so hang in there. Hey! Where did you hear that this was the first round of acceptances Thanks and congrats!

The bonus is that you get to work full-time during the week at least to make money. That's always nice. I have reached to to Angela and keep everyone informed if these were the only round of acceptances ! Please let us know if you hear from Laurier. Thank you so much for your kind words! Please let us know when she gets back to you

hello121212 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 Hey everyone, please reply and let all of us who haven't heard yet know if U OF T confirms is this is the first round of acceptances!

I had a friend who got rejected from OISE this year and it was a letter uploaded to SGS. so I don't know if they will do it the same.

j13 Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I officially got accepted into the Foundational MSW at UBCO this afternoon! I cannot believe it - good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back
artdec0 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 hi all, I got accepted to the UofT MSW (full time 2-year) today via the sgs portal and will be rejecting the offer (I'm attending OISE instead): -applied on time and got accepted today, March 31. haven't applied in the past. -3.9 fourth year gpa, 3.8 cgpa from UTSG. -literally zero social work experience lol, primarily sociology research and academia work for 3+ years during undergrad. some leadership in extracurriculars and post-work experience (during my 2 years post undergrad) doing nonprofit work. honestly nothing counsel-y at all, beyond my time as a first gen mentor in undergrad. I remember being on here paranoid that I wouldn't get in bc I didn't have any pertinent, "practical" work experience so I hope this quells any worries out there about that that you can still get in! I did have an A+ in the research methods course I listed on my application and I assume my academic record helped me. my written responses focused on my personal experience with social workers growing up, being a low-income first gen university student, how social workers' support positively shaped my life trajectory and kept me safe/in school/applying to unis etc. I was also worried this subject matter would be iffy/too personal but I wrote from the heart and it worked out. I did mention my particular interest in the child social work "focus" they offer. I applied to York's MSW with nothing back yet, though I got accepted to, and turned down, York's MEd (with funding) last week. as aforementioned, I'm declining the uoft MSW offer to attend OISE (I very specifically want to work in higher education services or become a professor, and I got into a funded MA program. I was also offered a spot in the MEd in Social Justice Education but they offered no funding and it's the worse program they kinda funnel people to if you don't get into the MA. Those MEd applications are still open as we speak lol). Wishing all of you the best of luck and to hang in there!! Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about my application. otherwise I advise you not to pore through people's responses here and panic bc you think you're too inexperienced/that you'll be waitlisted/rejected and have to reapply, all that panicking I did after reading things here ended up being baseless? sofiahats 1

Juli3270 Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Congarts to all those getting your acceptances :). Just a question, has anyone been accepted into U of T MSW 2 year stream with a GPA between 3.0 and 3.5? I gather from posts it seems all very high 3's or 4. Edited April 1, 2020 by Juli3270
SocialWorkMSW Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) I have a 3.8 gpa and I still haven't heard back so I don't think it's based off gpa's.:( Edited April 1, 2020 by SocialWorkMSW Juli3270 1

I will message you through here - would be nice to have a connection before classes start! Thank you so much! and no way, that's awesome. I'd love to connect beforehand. You can message me on here. I'm still kind of figuring out how to use this forum though, lol. But it's nice to meet you!
Foodietor Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Accepted to MSW - 2 year program at UofT. My last year average was 3.7. I volunteered a lot in different places throughout university and applied after graduating. Volunteer experience is at hospitals, Elementary school workshops and at an autism centre. Volunteered as a research assistant under a professor. Worked as an online English language instructor for kids on China. Also did a portion of school in Italy. Have paid experience at 2 different mental health organizations. My research methods mark was a B so it met the requirement. Congratulations to everyone who got in! Hope more of you hear back soon.

I was debating between my offer from UofT and UBCO, but UBCO is much closer to home for me.

Or they jut heard later than the first wave? Thanks!
