amesyall Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 My dad and I made a friendly wager on when decisions will go out. He wagered that yesterday would be the day, so now I get a Starbucks coffee. What drink should I get folks? ? caffeinegirl1, thatcoffeelover, SCCPHopeful and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal008 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) If no one starts hearing back today, would it be safe to assume they may not start until next week? It seems they need at least 5 days to send out all their acceptances/rejections/waitlist and I can't see them starting on a Thursday and continuing on Monday. Although nothing seems to make sense this year so who knows! Edited April 7, 2021 by Kal008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it's still very possible for it to go out on a Thursday or a Friday unless it is a holiday. xtrahotlatte and Kal008 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although nothing seems to make sense this year so who knows! Like you said, who knows! But they do seem to start earlier in the week - I think it's usually been Sun/Mon/Tues/Wed. Wouldn't be surprised if they keep people waiting though Kal008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgoose Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Has anyone been brave enough to reach out to Laurier and ask for an update? It is taking all of my patience not to bombard all of these poor admissions coordinators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they are even picking up phone calls. Their target month is April, but I guess that means it could literally be any time this month or even next month.

Yeah, Laurier admissions never offers any information that can't be found on the website. Last year I got my rejection on the 10th, so I would work under the assumption that we probably won't hear anything until at least next week. It's probably safest to even assume that admissions decisions will go out towards the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their response to mental health crises and to the multiple deaths by suicide on campus has made it blatantly obvious that student and professor well being will never be their priority.

MSW2020lm Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 My logic with UofT is that when they give a time frame, they always give themselves more time then needed just in case. So they say mid-April (lets say that's April 15th) next Thursday, but I don't see it coming right on the time frame. Its either coming this week or early next week. This week makes the most sense to give more room for error on their side. But this just all makes me feel better that its hopefully today LOL.

Yeah, I'm seconding this - I really don't expect them to go out before the end of the month. 1y decisions this year were much later than usual, and the email that the person shared honestly made it seem like it could even be into May this year.

They've always given mid April as the time when they send out results, but they're sending them out way later this year than in previous years.

Boy, I sure hope it doesn't go into May... I have a couple offers of admission from backups that are due May 1 and I would really hate to accept one and then get into Laurier a few days later, lol. They did require that we submit our applications for the 2 year substantially earlier, so I wonder if that will impact the difference between when 1-year and 2-year decisions go out. Normally the advanced standing program must apply by Dec 1 and the regular track by Jan 15; this time both were due Dec 1. I would still strongly encourage to anticipate later-April decisions, but hopefully the change in application deadline means that the two tracks won't be spaced as far apart as usual.

I wish there could be more transparency in this process. It would be nice if U of T could tell us If something went wrong or there are too many apps to process quickly. Even just being able to talk to a human on the phone would be amazing. The unpredictability is quite discouraging.

The problem is that admissions handles more than just the MSW program and they only have so many people on staff. If they gave out up-to-date information to everyone who inquires, they would spend all day answering thousands of emails and it would push back their productivity even more. Telling people the same generic boilerplate stuff saves them a ton of time even if its frustrating for the people who want to know. teaandSW21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for this! All of the digging in past forums I've done and I didn't realize the 2y deadline was earlier this year, that's great news.

Kal008 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I wish York would just reject me and put me out of my misery already ? The silver lining of kids schools closing yesterday is my household is so busy right now that I don't have as much time to sit, mull and refresh! Hope everyone is doing well despite the immense frustration and anxiety that waiting for these decisions has caused ? thatcoffeelover, patientlywaitinggg and teaandSW21 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
