I received the "your application is under review" email on Feb 5th. Haven't heard anything back since. Did you apply for the advanced or foundational program? Seems really strange to release decisions on a "rolling basis" rather than just send out all acceptances/rejections! Let us know when you hear anything!

And I agree, that is strange. I don't actually know if they do it that way. If it is, I feel like I would have heard by now since they were supposed to start sending them out mid-Feb. But it also seems like a general trend that advanced hear like a month before foundational... which is kind of annoying lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps when they view an application is determined first by which stream it's for and then when it was submitted. However, I also heard they don't release their waitlist, the merely send out acceptances in batches. All I know at this point is that I'm desperate to hear from them lol.

They started releasing decisions in mid feb and will go until April some time. When did you apply? I submitted all supporting documents (including references) first week of Dec, and received ‘under review’ email 8th Feb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSWkeen Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Hello, does anyone know if you accept an offer from one shcool if it ruins your chances of being accepted to another? I was recently accepted to UWindsor for the advance standing MSW working professionals program and have 3 weeks with no extenstion to accept this offer. However, I am waiting to hear from a few more shcools to see if I was accepted or not. I do not want to miss out on my chance at getting my MSW but if I accept Windsor, will that affect my chance at other schools? Any info would be apprecaited. Thanks all.

Thanks all. lots of folks do this, there is often no choice. MSW's are very competitive, to answer your question it will not affect your chances at other schools bc there is no way of other schools knowing where you've applied to/accepted and at the same time many other schools know and expect that this will happen. This is why the waitlist exists for schools student's give up their spots if they hear from somewhere else or if they just can't go-don't stress I am in the same position.

It’s so hard, I want to know if I’m moving across the country, or doing a 2 year BSW, or looking for a new job…it’s hard mentally to be in such a limbo for what feels like forever! ghostfacekillah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaandSW21 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) ugh.. the wait for UofT 2 year sucks, last year early march on the exact same day as this year is when they released advance standing, then there seems to be a large gap for anyone to hear about the 2 year.. I hope it is the end of March rather than waiting another month.. like many other folks I am trying to figure out what to do with my life and these decisions are impacting that more than i'd imagine.. looking for places in Ottawa while realizing I don't actually want to move there as I live in Toronto currently and have a great job with TGH and another part time job at a cafe.. but knowing I could just be waiting to hear about waitlist spot like last time seems really difficult.. could be waiting until August or september all over again.. makes things so hard!

I think I've come to realize that it's not necessarily the wait or delay that is the problem for me but it's the lack of transparency around when you can expect to hear results. E.g., if an application deadline is December and the school sends a mass email after the deadline saying "you can expect to hear results by the 1st week of April", even though that's a really long wait, at least knowing I won't hear anything until April would help ease my stress because I wouldn't have to check a portal everyday or ask people whether they've heard from a school yet. It's also so much better for administrators because they would get way less emails and calls from applicants asking for a status update! Here's to hoping future program departments can move towards being open about timelines to applicants.

softshelltaco Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Like many of you, I'm constantly watching gradcafe and refreshing application portals, but I'm gonna take a few week breather by not checking gradcafe or the portals - when the decision email comes, it comes. Best of luck to you all during this waiting game T.O.hopeful, hopefulsomehow, SophD and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
