RMMY2024 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 12 hours ago, tmce94 said: Also got waitlisted for UofT. For those of you who have got in, can you please share your stats for some insight? Hello! I got accepted into the gerontology stream, which was my second choice. For my last two years of university, I have a 4.3/4.3 GPA and a cGPA of 4.2/4.3 — but U of T only looks at your last year. I have minimal experience, as I just graduated last year. I volunteered during university, was a part of a couple of clubs, and am currently working at a non-profit (so nothing very substantial). My references probably were not the strongest. I put a lot of effort into my personal statement and made it quite personal and unique, or at least I tried to.
bchoi00 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 I'm happy to see people getting accepted to the program! Anyone heard back from WLU?

My experiences were similar. I just made the GPA to be admitted but hours and references were strong. I think they place a lot of value on your personal statement too. I was admitted to Dalhousie with a very low GPA a couple of years ago but after talking to faculty once I was there, they mentioned my personal statement is what got me in so perhaps it's similar across SW programs?

bookworm247 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 This may be a silly question, but is the UofT MSW program at the downtown campus? Just thinking about living arrangements, etc.
iceeee Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Hello! Did anyone who applied for UofT foundational mental health stream heard back? Wondered when should we expect to know the result. Thank you!
MSWtimeeee Posted February 27 Posted February 27 (edited) Congratulations for everyone that got into UofT!! I got waitlisted and was wondering if anyone knew how the process was for the waitlist Edited February 27 by MSWtimeeee yenyyenn 1

Madison Stewart Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Anyone else accepted to the University of Manitoba Advanced Standing MSW program?
MB2244 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Admission update for me: UofT - part-time - ACCEPTED Dalhousie - part time - ACCEPTED U of Waterloo - No decision made yet
swhopeful444 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Can anyone provide insight into the rate of acceptance for the BSW program at Carleton? My MSW application was declined and I have requested for my application to be reviewed for BSW entry. Also, anyone hear from WLU for 2 year MSW? MB2244 1

I'm so glad I came across this forum and was able to get some peer support just by reading the posts here! And congrats to everyone who's already received offers from schools, that's such exciting news!! Has anyone heard back from Waterloo's full-time program yet? And if so, where on Quest can you see your status? For some reason, my Quest just shows me my documents and that they've been submitted, but that's all. Curious to know what other people are seeing on their Quest! I've also applied to both UBCV and UBCO advanced programs - I haven't seen many posts for UBC, has anyone else here applied, or heard back from them? Such nerve-wracking but exciting times, good luck to everyone I have also applied to both UBCV and UBCO and have heard nothing yet.
Pizzapunx Posted February 28 Posted February 28 (edited) Carletons Website states "...We typically receive 160-180 applications for the two year MSW program, and approximately 80 for the one year MSW..." That's about 14 percent(?) chance for the non-BSW applicants. If it makes you feel better, Carleton also rejected me. I have 30,000 human service hours, 3.4 out of 4.0 GPA for my current master's degree in another field. 3.53 out of 4.0 for my undergrad degree. Also received diversity points for 3 categories. It sucks, but I'm not giving up. Best of luck to you. I'm holding out for Manitoba. If that falls through, I'm just taking a program in the USA then transferring it to Canada. Something to consider.

Oooof, a program in the states?? Wouldn't that cost a lot more than a program here? 😩

I admittedly considered this as well because I have family in the states until I remembered student loans probably wouldn't even cover half of the tuition/fees 😂 I hope you get into uManitoba so you don't have to go with this option!

You Applied to uManitoba also right? You hear anything yet? Someone on the FB group suggested the second wave of decisions may go out after March 4th. I think that is the deadline for the first wave of applications to accept or not.

Kai24 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I was waitlisted for Waterloo today. Does anyone know how many spots they have in the program vs the waitlist? They gave no information other than that I have been placed on the waitlist. Thanks!

paulinababy Posted February 29 Posted February 29 This might be a silly question but I just want to confirm something - does a full-time final year consist of 5 courses? im wondering because i took courses sporadically in my last year of my bsw (example, 2nd year - 2 courses in my first semester and 3 in my second semester). In my offer my condition if that I receive at least a mid B in my final year of study - how many courses would that consist of? Or do the amount of courses not matter?

A full time course load for an entire school year is usually 8-10 classes; so 4-5 classes per semester. But I think as long as you maintain a mid B average than the amount of courses you're taking won't matter? To be completely sure, I'd contact the school you got into to ask. paulinababy 1
MSWtimeeee Posted February 29 Posted February 29 For UofT Advanced Standing program does anyone know when they do second wave of admissions? And does anyone know when York sends out their admissions for Advanced Standing.
