Canadian MSW Applicants 2021

Does anyone know how many students are admitted in each year's cohort for U of T MSW. That is, are classes small enough that there may be hope for return to in-class learning this Fall?

130? I couldn’t be wrong but that’s what I remember hearing at one point

I think you're correct, I also remember hearing something like 130 people in one cohort.

But I'm not sure whether that would mean that all 130 people will be in the same class. I mean, yes all 2-yr students will take the required 5 courses during Fall but there're multiple sessions for the same course, so I don't think we will have that large of a class size. 

Anyway, we should hear about the method of delivery around Apr or May ... fingers crossed

Hello! My apologies I didn't realize I didn't mention the program. It is U of T's 2 year MSW program! I am an international student though, and I think we are hearing back sooner due to study permits/processing times for visas with COVID-19 

Yay! One more potential 2-yr MSW incoming student  I'll DM you

thanks, I hadn't known that before! March feels so far away ? do you know how they'll send out their decisions or how many spots they usually offer? yeah, I'm in the same boat re: not moving, so I applied to the Toronto schools. 

No I dont, but I am hoping we get an alert to check quest instead of a letter! I am not sure how many spots they offer either. I haven't really heard many people discussing that program which i found surprising because I was impressed with how organized their information/website was. What was the social issue you wanted to study?

Hi Everyone! 

Did anyone else’s Carleton Central application status change to “review in progress by the faculty of graduate and postdoctoral affairs” Friday evening?

Nope but I'm not concerned. They likely do this one by one.

I’m so anxious! Does this mean that they made a decision? Good or bad I will be happy to know.

I think Carleton usually releases their acceptances later on in this week or next?

But it probably means what it says, that they are currently in the midst of reviewing your application.

Hang in there!

Does anyone know where on LORIS we can see the status of our application?

Hey! I just got an email saying that I've been accepted into Carleton's 2 year program! This was after my status changed to in review on Friday so it was a pretty fast turn around! Hope everyone else hears soon

How long did you have to change once your status changed to “review in progress by department”?

Mine changed today to review in progress by department- fingers crossed it’s a quick turn around!

For me my status changed to in review on Friday afternoon (the 12th) and then I got the acceptance today, so it really didn't take too long (I wonder if they were working through the long weekend??)

I thought we checked the status of our application through Quest? I didn't get an email regarding LORIS

I have been following the grad cafe threads for a while now (a couple years!) and I've always been so appreciative of everyone's stories. I have been accepted into Mac's MSW program and I don't think I've ever cried so much before. As I'm sure many of you can relate, it has been a long fucking journey. I've always felt like I am an imposter so reading the offer of admission was such an overwhelming feeling. I wish everyone the best in their journeys ?

Got my recommendation for acceptance from Dal today in the mail. Just posting for those of you who are waiting! 

I'm international and I applied for the 2 year program.

I think Waterloo is quest and Wilfred Laurier is LORIS. So I think they were asking about Laurier not Waterloo!

I don't know if there is a spot on LORIS to see the status (I hope I'm wrong lol). I just know that when you have been accepted or rejected the page that shows all of the documents you have submitted turns into a notice and your documents listed disappear. Thats what I gathered from previous years threads, hope that helps a little!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Congratulations! I hope the program is everything you hoped for.
