I'm feeling quite nervous and silly now for applying to MSW so late in the year— but the deadline is May 1st. Has anyone heard back from UWIN 16 month Advance Standing (w BSW)? I just sent in my application, it seems as though I should expect a wait list? Or has one been started? Thank you for your time! I submitted my application on February 24 and received an offer of admission March 31! I declined my offer as I also got accepted to Kings program!

MSW2020lm Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hello! I would love to speak to someone to has been accepted to the Dalhousie online post-degree BSW program. They require a B- for admission, and I have that but wondering how competitive the program is to get into. I have over 4 years experience working with newcomer children and youth directly. Thanks to anyone who can comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York is my top choice so i'm hoping to hear back definitely have very little hope but your post gives me *some* hope! Do you mind if i ask what your experience and background is? It'll help me greatly when i reapply next year. Also, i would love to talk to any folks who applied to yorks 1 year BSW program (didn't realize they had one!) as i might consider applying for that next year as well.

bonfire Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi friends, anyone know anything about wait lists? I'm wondering if i should accept an offer or wait to see if any wait lists move. Does anyone have any experience with either Laurier or Windsor 2 year Non BSW wait lists and do they traditionally move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm personally not expecting to get in because even though I have a strong academic background in social justice studies and sociology and a Masters in public health, much of my experience is in research. i do have experience at the Crisis centre but not much front-line work apart from that Dont give up hope! I am similar to you in that I mostly have a research background with minimal front-line experience and I got accepted to york. It sounds like you are extremely qualified!

Thanks for your response! This was helpful. Unfortunately i couldn't get a reference from the distress centre because i had to move to Ottawa 3 months short of fulfilling their 1-year commitment. I am moving back in June though and will be started up my volunteerism with them again. I'm also going to look into other community volunteer opportunities. Fingers crossed for next year if i don't end up getting in this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
