Has anyone gotten off the waitlist from Lauriers 2 Year MSW program? Do you think there is hope we will hear soon?

I have not and it is August now so I am unsure. Is it worth it to call?

I mean I guess there is no harm in calling, but I doubt they will answer because they said not to contact them. You can try though, I'm still hopeful though that one of us on this form will get off. Keep me posted lady!

I got a call from Laurier a couple weeks ago to "confirm my contact information" as they had reached out but didn't hear from me (they hadn't). When I asked them for more information they just said they would be reaching out within the next month with offers. Super weird

[Wandering-Nomad]

That is seriously so strange... Well keep us posted- honestly though I feel if we don't hear this week then we should start looking for other things. Still hopeful, but I am also okay whatever the outcome may be ?

Anyone going into the MSWwp at UWindsor - has anyone noticed the working professionals program is now strictly online? I’m feeling mixed about it! On one hand I was excited about going back on campus for school, but on the other the convenience is nice. When I applied, it wasn’t known as an online program! But the fulltime MSW programs are on campus. I wished we had an option to pick!

Does anyone know of any MSW programs that start in January?

I have an application "in process" still. I am getting anxious because I have not received a response yet. I applied 7 weeks ago.  

I am so glad it is online! But I think I would have done better in person.  Online is just a bit more convenient. 

When did you get accepted?

I applied end of March and i got accepted in May for the September 2021 start. I got an email asking if I would apply for winter 2022 instead so I agreed and I was given admission!

Oh thats interesting. I applied early July for January 2022. I would even be happy with offered a later start if thats what happens. 

I am just so sick of checking my email 20 times a day. I'm hoping to hear soon!

I am going to Windsor for the 2 year full time msw program and to my knowledge the first semester is all online.

Hi!

I applied to the MSW 2 year at UofT last year, and got wait-listed for this Sept.. I want to reapply to UofT and possibly some other schools. My issue is I don't have an academic reference. I've been out of school for 7 years and there's no way anyone remembers me lol.. are there any schools that offer a non-bsw program without needing an academic reference? Or any advice on how to apply without an academic reference? Thanks so much!

You should be able to use another professional reference. I have contacted some schools about this and they are willing to accept a professional reference if you havent been in school a while.  Maybe just reach out to specific ones to confirm.

Hello Everyone! Is anyone else starting the York post-degree BSW program this year? I'd love to connect if so! 

[emnull98]

That's smart..I never thought of calling schools. Thanks so much for the advice!

Hi everyone! I just found out I got into Western's MSW program and was wondering if theres a facebook group for non-advanced standing students. Feel like I'm playing catch up and think a facebook group could help if it exists.

Hello! Anyone know when Laurier will let people know about the online part-time MSW January entry? I've seen that we should hear in September but no idea where I can track my application.

Sorry I made a mistake in my post. I was actually waitlisted for September 2021, but they offered to have me apply for Winter 2022 instead. I responded asking if I can make adjustments to my application since I started working at a new job but I was told that my application was already reviewed. So I decided against making changes. Shortly after, I was offered admission for Winter 2022. Im not sure how common it is but I also applied very early so that’s possibly why! 
 

Good luck, you should hear soon. My friend applied right on the deadline for Windsor’s Winter 2022 MSWwp and she was contacted the day after about her transcripts. So hers is already being reviewed! Don’t hesitate to message me when you do get accepted so we can talk about school

Does anyone have any insight as to when the MSWwp for Uwindsor will be up for September 2022 intake? Is there an application process open for it right now?

 

thank you!

Hey I’m still waiting to hear back from UofT about the status of my waitlisted 1 year advance standing application. Has anyone gotten off the wait list recently ? Is there still hope?

Hi there, I am looking into applying to Windsor's MSWwp. I am curious what your grades/experience were like? Also interested in how many start dates they offer? Is It just fall and winter as far as you know? Or summer too? Thanks in advance for any insight

[SCCPHopeful]

Hi everyone, I am looking into non BSW MSW programs in TO or exclusively online. So far I have U of T's 2 year program, Laurier online, and Windsor MSWwp online. Any other school/programs I  should look into...Thanks!
