waitingsux Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Anybody heard from UBC Okanagan advanced standing this week?

cmornin Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I also got my rejection from Western today (2 year program)! It was my first time applying so I'm not too surprised. I'll be doing a fast track SSW diploma instead and applying again next year!

I only applied at Kings because my husband is going to school in London and moving isn't an option until Sept 2021! I took one year off from school after getting my BA in psychology (graduated in 2019, applied for this year).

SquigglesSquiggles Posted March 12, 2020 Posted March 12, 2020 Has anyone heard much about the UBCO MSW program- if it's good, bad, good practicum opportunities? I heard bad things about the UBC Vancouver one but nothing about the Okanagan, except for its clinical focus...

I'll be doing a fast track SSW diploma instead and applying again next year! I did the fast track SSW program at Fanshawe after my undergrad because I also didn't get in the first time. The program is insanely hard and they don't allow you to have a job during it and they like to fail a lot of people out of the progrM. I would say only half of the people who started ended up graduating. I also applied to kings MSW again after the SSW program and still didn't get in. They said it basically didn't count because it's a college program so it doesn't boost your grades, it only gets you more time in the field (practicum).

I'll keep that in mind when I start the program. I'm not planning to do it to boost my grades, just to gain experience and to hopefully help me get a job in the field if it takes me a while to get into an MSW program (I'm working in childcare at the moment and it is awful). What did you do after the SSW program, if you don't mind me asking? I've thought about a BSW so that I can apply to the advanced standing MSW programs but I'm not sure exactly what I want to do!
