hollerinMSW Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Accepted to UofT! Update on Acorn first! Final GPA: 4.0, extensive research, psych major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswpenguin Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Applied: UofT 2 YR MSW (accepted on acorn) Undergrad degree: Anthropology/Equity Studies double major. Fourth year GPA: 4.0 Experience: a mixture of research assistance, short-term contract work in community organizations, independent research, volunteer peer support experience, a few publications/public presentations, and completing M.A right now. I applied to UofT last year for the first time and was waitlisted. I had almost no related paid work experience but this past summer I was able to get some. I know how stressful this all is, but it dissipates over time. My fingers are crossed for everyone. I felt so defeated last year but tried to remember there was still next year to apply and that I had the control to improve my application. The year passed by so quickly. It's not over.

ANK3 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just saw my acceptance on ACORN this morning! I'm a first time applicant and I only applied to the 2 year program at UofT, so I'm both shocked and relieved. GPA 4.0, BA from York in psych, extensive work (2+ years in a hospital/community mental health setting) and research experience. I might have to defer my acceptance for a year though. I'll have to think about this more. Does anyone know what the deadline is to confirm/defer for UofT is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smambmsw Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi, I also just saw on ACORN that I've been invited to the 2-Year MSW at UofT!! :) This was my first time applying and also the only social work program I applied to! Education: I graduated from UofT last year, 4.0 GPA in my last year and a final cGPA of 3.95. I was in the Psychology Research Specialist program and did a ton of research (paid and unpaid) in social psychology, including a thesis project last year. I also was in Equity Studies and most of my 3rd and 4th year courses were within the realm of equity studies/critical social justice :) I also have several years of experience volunteering with misc. equity-focused student groups and local orgs and grassroots community projects. e.g., volunteering with Planned Parenthood Toronto, as well as a nonprofit volunteer peer support line for 2SLGBTQ youth, and a food serve group started up by a bunch of my friends and local organizers... etc. etc.! I currently have no paid/formal work experience in the social service sector, but lots of paid exp. in research project/lab management in psychology. Had to do stats and several research methods courses because of the Research Specialist program so I think that definitely helped!! I'm so happy <3 Congratulations to everyone else who's been accepted!! mswmsw2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
