Hi! I got waitlisted this year (yesterday) to U of T advanced… do you know how often people come off the WL?

I'm not sure how many in total but I know about 5 or 6 people in my cohort received acceptances off the waitlist and decided to join the program! Most of the movement from the waitlist seemed to be in June - September as that's when admission has a stronger idea of who has committed to which program.

Sure!! 

I have a BA in psychology (2017) as well as going to college to complete a social service worker diploma (2019). I have been volunteering and working pretty consistently since I graduated in 2017!
Volunteer wise, I went abroad and volunteered in orphanages, hospitals, and in schools, I did administrative work at a private counselling practice, I was a peer mentor in my community and at my school, I did day camps over march break, and was a child and youth volunteer counsellour. Since 2018, I have worked as a child and youth counsellor (same place I volunteered at), as a residential support worker in a group home, in addictions (specifically gambling), as a custody/visitation supervisor, worked as a painter painting community housing units, and as a career mentor for students. I also tried to do as much community engagement as possible such as joining student advisory groups, panels with the Student Commission of Canada, a student task force member, and getting super involved within my school with different clubs and student orientations. Basically anything else I could get my hands on haha. I also did a bunch of professional development so every certificate, workshop, webinar, license and training which came out to about 30+. I am also registered with the OASW as a student member. 

Thank you for sharing! You have amazing experience! Congratulations again❤️

Anyone know if there's been a Facebook group created yet or anything similar for the UofT advanced standing folks?

Is anyone else an applicant to UofT's 2 year program anxiously waiting to hear back? I'm so scared of getting rejected, I've been wanting to apply since 2016.

Yes!!! I'm refreshing the page like a million times a day. Yesterday I got nothing done at work lol. It has made me even more anxious now seeing all the AS applicants get their results

Yes I was just going to say this!! I (we?) didn't get notified via email, it was checking our ACORN accounts, here is the website: acorn.utoronto.ca! You should have received an email a few weeks ago from admissions (admissions.sgs@utoronto.ca) to make a join ID account, and that is your log-in info!! 

You will see that you've been 'invited' to the program, and there is a $500 deposit to hold your spot by a certain date or you lose the admission/spot! According to a friend of mine the emails are lagging and should come some time next week. My fingers are crossed for you all!!! ❤️

Congratulations on being waitlisted! When you checked Quest did you click on "Application" under status and it showed the decision?

I think so!! I noticed there was another post where someone explained the same thing and it seems like they were saying that that meant acceptance or at least that's what I got from it. If anyone can confirm this that would be amazing!! I'm still feeling nervous about it without an official letter.

it should be the first thing you see when you log in! On the finances side (right) you will see the $500 admissions deposit, and on the left, you will see the program you applied for and 'invite' in orange above it!

I just checked Acorn and my status shows as "invited". Thank you to everyone who posted on this feed and shared your knowledge, insight and encouragement. Congratulations to everyone who got accepted and waitlisted so far and sending good energy to everyone who did not get in. As disappointing as it may be, keep trying and it will come. 

I applied to Wilfrid Laurier's September start date online program and their in person program as well in addition to University of Waterloo's program so I am still waiting to hear back from those program.
