(As we heard a few pages back) Western accepted 20/300 applicants this year... do we know how many applicants Laurier typically has?

Rehbekuh Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) I got into the Advanced Standing, full time programs for U of T (MH & H), Laurier, and Western! All September 2020 starts. I will be attending U of T. Career trajectory:Completed BA, took the summer off to volunteer as an intake worker in a social service, then got first job in social services (skills development). Worked there for 2 years then decided to go back to school and complete a 2 year BSW (84% avg, spiced up by participating in student council and applying to awards/bursaries). Worked full time as an addiction counsellor, part time with LGBTQ youth and respite, for 2 more years, then applied to my MSW and got in! On the side, I also completed a lot of professional development (just like lunch and learns and agency trainings - about 1 a month) and took on different volunteer opportunities for the agencies I worked for organizing festivals/fundraisers. Based on my experience, I would recommend that if you can, do your BSW first. Really focus on your statement of interest, keep it passionate about the social work field and career experiences with only a sprinkle of the personal. Look up YouTube videos on what social work is, or advice videos on writing grad school statement of interests. If you can, attend MSW information sessions. I know how crushing a no can be (applied and rejected to an MA program right out of my BA), but giving yourself time to grow and hone in on what will make you stand out as a candidate is by no means a failing.

HopelessMSWApplicant Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Pretty sure I messed up my Waterloo one by not 'self-declaring' my GPA correctly in percentages :/ Hopefully they overlook the fact I think I drastically under-declared..
