Has anyone heard from Laurier who is a regular track applicant? Im trying not to give up hope. I literally broke down yesterday when I saw others had heard back from the 2 year. Its just so difficult, Ive given up so much of my time volunteering, working and in school. Ive maintained a very good average. It just seems like whatever I do is never enough.

I applied for the advanced standing stream and haven’t heard back (I don’t think anyone has). But last year it seems like Laurier took a while to get back to people (most people heard end of March - middle of April). I completely understand your frustration. It’s hard not to feel defeated especially when you put your all into it (personally feeling this way also). Please take care of yourself ❤️ it will all work out!

Social work is the only career I want to pursue and I literally spent almost every minute of my free time during my undergraduate and the following several years volunteering, trying to get closer to an MSW program (I'm an international student living in a country where social workers can hardly pay for rents with unbelievable low salaries. I also have to take care of my mom who lives with severe mental illness so unfortunately I could not work as a social worker for the past few years although I extremely want to, which in turn makes my CV weaker than most applicants I believe.) I know it's really hard to keep calm when we keep hearing people getting good news while we get nothing. I've been trying not to doubt myself or break down but sadly I never made it. I just want to let you know that you're never alone. Also, as we can see, things are not over yet so maybe we'll hear some good news any time from now. ineedsomesparkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! My last name starts with K and it was just updated (I've been checking all day lol, took a break, and checked again after reading here). I was getting real nervous there. So I do believe they are doing this alphabetically. Edited March 25, 2022 by DD2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J12345 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 OK I just called and spoke with someone at FIFSW who said "on the record, invited on acorn just means you can technically enrol in courses in a program......off the record, it is an acceptance"...What is with these answers!! I know I should feel confident, but I don't see that "Admission confirmation form". This is hard. ShaDiMSW2022 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw your last name initial and you may see it change later tonight or even Monday. Another poster with an earlier initial than ours had their SGS updated late last night. Though I agree, doesn't it make more sense to send out the official letter of acceptance first/update SGS, then update Acorn? Weird order their process is. Though I'm 99.9% sure an Acorn update means an offer of admission, this is based on my 4 rounds and 3 years on grad cafe, and of course your admissions dept contact ?

Pepsi0630 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hello everyone! I've received my official acceptance to UVIC. Stats again for anyone curious: ~11,000 hours of paid/volunteer social work experience 4.0 GPA in my BSW, also hold a Bachelor of Arts, Criminology 87% over last twenty courses I will be declining as I've already accepted a May start for Laurier. I was also accepted to Waterloo, so if anyone has any questions around my personal statement or experience please feel free to ask! I found these forums very helpful when I was applying!
