Hi everyone, I just logged on to LORIS (for the hundredth time), and my application has disappeared. it says I have no current applications... can anyone advise me as to what is going on please? TIA

Hey, just wanted to say that the same thing has happened with me on my LORIS. My application is gone. Not too sure what's going on. Really strange.

Thanks for reassuring me that I didn't screw up the application! I'm wondering if the site is down, or if it means our applications are in review.

@DiveInComeOutKinder Mine disappeared as well. I think it's because the application closed yesterday for the supplemental application

For those who applied to UofT - did anyone receive an email saying to enable your JOINid?

hey- i'm applying to UBCO as well.  

Ahh a potential classmate/fellow clinical enthusiast! Yay! 

Btw is there no reference form for UBCO like UofT to be sent out in advance to referees? Or is the reference format going to be just a general letter without the philosophical questions? 

Also, which population/s & setting/s do you aspire to work with your MSW?

P.s. I Really am not a fan of how UBCO makes us submit our application before sending out emails to referees ugh? Glad I did the UofT application beforehand!

Hi there,

I am glad to hear that my LORIS is not the only one to disappear. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that all documentation was to be handed in as of yesterday? If not, then maybe the system is overwhelmed or in a glitch.

I know that LORIS stated that the university shuts down from the 23rd-jan 3rd so maybe an early closing? I doubt that they'd close this early, but you never know.

Hi there @makttrrr,

my entire mswwp application including references was completed on the 21st and I have no word yet if that helps.

Also curious about UofT's admissions team.. does anyone know who besides Angela sifts through the applications or is it just her? I couldn't find anything online about this! Maybe I've missed a gradcafe past years comment on this!?

Angela doesn't look through the applications for admission, the applications are review by an admissions committee usually made up of faculty and alumni. I think I remember reading that the committee is potentially different each year and they do not announce who is on it.

Can anyone explain the difference between a qualitative and quantitative research methods course? What should I be looking for in the course description? Or does anyone have a psych degree from Waterloo that might know which courses would be considered qualitative and quantitative? Super confused about this requirement for the two year Western program.

Im not sure if this matters, but I applied last year and did not get another email, however my joinid is the same as last year I believe. So maybe if you are not a new applicant you don't get another email? I have no idea

Yes it is also written in their Email that grad school applicants are not eligible to use JOIN.

I think their email systems got some sort of the time lag as I received the JoinID first and a preliminary student no. (not equal to an admission offer) a day later, while their email suggested that I should have received the student no. before the JoinID. Anyway I just need the ID to register for residence as an international student and the system for the next fall admission opens on coming Jan so its totally fine for me.

I think it is the problem in their system as the application in LORIS showed up again. Besides the Faculty has started reviewing the application already as I received E-mail to submit additional documents, hope something good happens.

ugh right.. so annoying that the references were to complete after we submitted.. makes it weird with the timing. I did not like the 6 questions with such a small word limit, pleasure to virtually 'meet' though I think for the references they will just be asked the same questions that we 'ranked' ourselves on in the application process then they compare what we said to what they said? just a guess. I want to work with adolescents with trauma in the mental health setting, hopefully with doing private practice one day.. how about you? 

[MSW-Advanced Standing]

im scared now, i did not receive any email from UOFT, no email about student ID ... 

whats wrong with my application??
