I was debating between my offer from UofT and UBCO, but UBCO is much closer to home for me. Amazing, I accepted mine as well! It will definitely be the adjustment coming from Vancouver but I cannot wait for these two years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. when I convert my GPA to the 4.0 scale, it comes out to 3.37 CGPA, semester before applying was 3.8 and A- in my research methods course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your friend who heard back early-mid April, were they first put on the waitlist? Or they jut heard later than the first wave? Thanks! They heard in a later wave, they were not waitlisted. She also had a fairly high average and thousands of hours of paid experience. How they make their decisions is anyones guess. The only thing I cant guarantee is that's what they are doing this year... I'm just trying to keep the mentality that if I haven't heard a rejection yet, im still in the running. No news is good news! Edited April 1, 2020 by poppinMSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassky Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 A few people have asked, so just want to mention. I got accepted to the advanced standing program at UofT. I'm finishing my BSW at York right now. Have around a 3.7 GPA, and not much experience in the field. I've volunteered as a mentor at a middle school, and previously as a case worker for a charity that works with newcomers. In terms of professional experience, I've only done my practicum with youth which included informal counselling and program facilitation. I didn't have a tenured professor for my references either. Two contract profs (cause majority of York profs are contracted), and my field supervisor from the agency I'm doing my practicum with. I put all the effort in the world into my written statement. I didn't think it would be enough truthfully, but thought it might be the best area to explain myself, my unrepresented demographic, and my passion for the field and the type of research I'd like to do. I think my written statement is the main reason I was granted acceptance. The right person must have read it and had it resonate with them in some way. I got declined from Ryerson, and nothing yet from York. The written statements for both are very short, so I think they must have looked into my experience much more, and this is where I lack. If you don't have the experience, I just want to say that it is possible. I've heard and read that schools look for different types of students at different levels and who want to do different things. If your passion is there, you have every right to get admitted into the program. If it's not now, or next year, or in a few, you'll get there. Goodluck to everyone this year and those who will be applying again. If I've learned anything throughout this, it's that any denial is not personal. A lot of it has to do with having your application fall into the right hands. I think I'm fortunate in that regard. Goodluck again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tealover101 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Hey there! Congratulations for those who have heard back and gotten accepted! It’s a fairly stressful process and it’s my second round of applying for my Master’s. I completed one degree from York and I’m now completing my HBSW. I applied and got accepted into the advanced standing MSW program at McGill for Fall 2020. I’m wondering what’s everyone’s thoughts on McGill as a university and if anyone has any insights about the program? Anything helps, thanks! Feel free to ask me any questions Edited April 1, 2020 by Tealover101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexBeans Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Just wondering if anyone knows how many people are waitlisted for the two year UfT program, and what your chances are of still being accepted if you have been waitlisted. It is my first year applying straight from my undergrad and I got waitlisted for the 2020 year! Congrats to everyone who has been accepted!

AlexBeans Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 On 3/31/2020 at 11:52 AM, HopefulandCurious said: Thanks for your input! I ask mainly because I applied in October for this program, and the next application is due May 1 - which is one month away. The program I've been waitlisted for starts in May, so realistically nothing in my application has changed. I still have the same perspective as I previously had. Maybe if I had applied with a year's difference, it would be different. Something to think about, anyway.... (This application was entirely different than when I had previously applied fresh out of my BSW, so I totally see how it could entirely change). Congrats on your acceptance! What program are you applying for where the due date is May 1st! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
