I just checked Acorn and it shows invited with the $500 deposit and April 13th deadline to pay. No email yet! I checked Acorn earlier today and it showed $0, so it was definitely only added within the past few hours! never stop dreaming and EMWC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone mind sharing more about their experience / knowledge about the Program ? I mainly obtained the Program information on the Program’s website, but didnt see much discussion on the Program in this thread. Hi There, I received an offer of admission on March 2nd with an initial deadline to accept by March 24th (they have extended it by a bit when I requested more time). They told me that they finalize admissions around end of March to let people on the waitlist know. If you haven't heard anything at all by now, I would recommend checking the application portal or contacting the school. I noticed too that there is a lot more discussion about programs in Ontario and further east, I think maybe because there are just so many more programs than in BC and Alberta. In trying to make my decision between schools, I have done a deep dive of the Health and Social Care courses (outlines are available on the website) so feel I have a pretty good understanding of that side of the program. If you'd like to connect to discuss more, feel free to DM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what others have posted. I went back and forth on this so many times and did hours of research and each time came back to doing an MSW. I already have a BSW and didn't have some of the psych courses that Counselling programs wanted so it was also a quicker way to get going on my goals. I also really wanted to situate my counselling "training" within a social justice framework and I felt social work had more to offer around that. I don't expect to feel fully competent coming out of my MSW to go into private practice (although my social work college told me I could do it now with my BSW!!) but have a master's opens a lot of other doors to ongoing training in specific modalities. stack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't received any new credentials with the application. I can still access my account from when I was in undergrad at UofT, but that was several years ago. Does anyone know if it would automatically connect my application to the ACORN account from before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow up question, do we know if they tend to send out acceptances over several days, or all at the same time? From my previous experience, they usually send out the acceptances + waitlists on the same day - they send out acceptances first, followed by waitlists. However I've also seen that they update ACORN a day or so before sending out actual acceptances via email/SGS portal.

nocoffee Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 do they send out rejections before or after acceptance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.O.hopeful Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Doesn't UofT accept much more people than other programs (like 140 people)? So it would likely take longer to update everyone's portal than it would for a program only accepting 20 people. Just something to consider for people who's portal may not have changed. Also I've gotten no email, so if you don't have access to Acorn but have been accepted, you will need to wait until tomorrow or whenever they plan to send the emails to even know! Still lots of time for people to find out. DD2021, HopeisthewaytoCope and taco-belle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? was it your first time applying? they have a new system but you should have been emailed a login for acorn if you were a first time applicant. Not to worry though, they send you and email and it'll show in the applicant system too (where you have the checklist and uploaded everything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
