AlexaS Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Just got off the waiting list for UofT on Friday. Was definitely shocked to say the least... I will be accepting my offer. Fingers crossed for anyone still waiting! teaandSW21, alexwpley and SCCPHopeful 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Following as I am in the same boat. Just a heads up - a bunch of the programs only accept 20 people. 3 of the 5 programs I applied to for this fall had that limit, including Laurier online, and it is next to impossible to get into those with the amount of applications they receive. I feel like I threw away most of my applications this round, so if anyone has any insider tips on how to avoid that next time it would be greatly appreciated!

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 For MSWwp it is in September and Winter. They have the regular MSW programs on campus as well. They have a spring start in May but it isn’t MSWwp, just the regular 1 year advanced MSW. I have an SSW diploma (Overall 82%) and my BSW (Overall A-). Both of my stats marks were A. I applied during my final year of school. I worked in developmental services for four years at the time of my application. I also worked part time for Best Buddies at my college. My placements were at city housing for seniors, a high school for teens with intellectual disabilities and an immigration agency. I think my personal statement was a big selling point. I spoke strongly about my passion for social work, my lived experience of overcoming challenges and how that relates to my professional goals & the program’s philosophy. I hope this helps Remember it is rolling admission so first come, first served. I was waitlisted for the September start because the seats were already full. So I highly recommend applying as early as possible! Edited September 10, 2021 by SocialWerkIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.B.S Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hey everyone, I'm not sure if anyone else was waiting for UfT Advanced Standing Waitlist to move. I got an email from them today saying the waitlist is officially closed and they've reached their maximum numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSW2022 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 This week is the 3 month mark for my MSWwp application at Windsor for the Jan 2022 start. Peel campus, non BSW. I know some others here are still waiting to hear. Has anyone else heard back in the last couple months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MSW2022MM Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hi Everyone! I also have not heard back from Laurier yet for the part-time online program (January 2022). Looking at previous posts in this forum, it sounds like they can take a while and not hearing after the expected time is a common experience. Has anyone heard much about what the Laurier online program is like in terms of opportunities for interactions amongst students? I also find it interesting that they do 6-week rather than 12-week courses; I haven't heard of other schools doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDip Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 For those of you applying again to msw programs this year…I have a few questions! How many times have you applied and what are you doing differently this year? Also, is there going to be a new forum or will we just use this one to continue to talk about everything for the September 2022 admissions?

sandydandy Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I have officially been rejected from Wilfred Laurier's part time MSW. For reference, this was my second time applying. I have a BA and a MA from Wilfred Laurier and 7 years of experience in social services and non profits. I had an A- average in my last two years. I know this program is super competitive so I was expecting it.. but now I will be holding out for the other programs I applied to. Good luck to the rest!

EmmaNeedleman Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hi everyone, I heard back from WLU for the part time online program starting January 2022 this afternoon. I have been placed on the waitlist. Trying to stay positive, but it’s hard! And hard to make life plans (work in particular) when I don’t know when/if the waitlist will move! Congratulations to all of those who got accepted, and my condolences to those who did not. This has been (and continues to be) a stressful wait!
