RBMSW Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 When they move to C's, I guess I will have my answer figured out if I was accepted or not MSW29, MSW2020lm and MacaroniGirl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw26 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 22 hours ago, aspiring-academic said: I decided to attend Waterloo since it is clinical in nature and it's online. The way things are going in Ontario with COVID restrictions, I needed some certainty about what classrooms will be like in September. Welcome to the Waterloo club! Have you any ideas in terms of placement? I know some schools have offered online alternatives to placements due to covid but since for Waterloo puts so much emphasis on students finding their own, I'm not too sure. I'm wondering how difficult it will be to find a placement on our own with the pandemic going on, burnout, etc. I've heard from a colleague who places paramedic students that she's having a really hard time finding placements.

amesyall Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I wonder what letter they'll get to today for UofT two-year decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeegirl20 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'm stressing because my last name starts with K, and I have until the end of the day tomorrow to accept my BSW offer for Waterloo. I really hope they speed it up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they speed it up ? Ahh I feel that, my last name starts with L! For letters in the middle of the alphabet, it's usually a toss up if they'll be a part of the first group or second group (if they're doing one half of the alphabet today and the other tomorrow).

If it’s through an automated system, there’s a chance we may receive responses overnight. But if it’s being done manually by the admissions team I would assume that they would stop this evening and start again tomorrow? I could be totally wrong, I’m just thinking out loud at this point LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBMSW Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Yeah it looked like there was a 2/3 hour break in between the letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slightly annoying, but at least they're getting started. Just slightly frustrating and stressful if they don't get it done tomorrow and then stop over the weekend.

xtrahotlatte Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is painfully slow. If they truly wanted to get this done, they would sit down (in the comfort on their own home) to finish. It's April... UofT sucks man. Pickmeplease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand the anxiety and impatience, but blaming the staff for not working overtime isn't fair. For all we know, they already are. We should all know, understand, and respect the importance of having boundaries between home and work-- not to mention the ways that staff in academic settings are already often overworked and underpaid. They're people going through a pandemic, too. coffeegirl20, Ihatethissomuch, RBMSW and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I think all of our frustrations and emotions are valid right now considering the unexpected changes in timelines for results compared to last year. We should keep this a safe space to vent for people who need it. SCCPHopeful, xtrahotlatte and sammyk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're people going through a pandemic, too. I get it's a complex situation but as UofT alumna, the staff are generally pretty inconsiderate towards its students never mind applicants. There are people waiting to hear back so they can decide whether to move houses, whether to accept programs elsewhere. It's pretty much mid-April and our applications were sent in over 4 months ago and all we can get is a copy and paste response? Idk, sounds pretty insensitive to me.

coffeegirl20 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Does anyone know if Waterloo generally takes a deposit for their BSW/MSW program? I'm going through crisis mode trying to figure out what I should do. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
