Pizzapunx Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Just curious if anyone has heard anything or seen their application status change for Canadian MSW Applications Fall 2024?. I checked last years 2023 Canadian Application thread and saw some activity/movement in January. WLU Application Submitted - (no changes) The University of Manitoba- Application Submitted (no changes) Carleton University Preliminary review required (no changes) Here is Carleton's application status page as an example https://graduate.carleton.ca/application-status/ iceeee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj00 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hi everyone! I'm applying to 4 MSW programs for Sept 2024 start! UBCO - foundation MSW Calgary - non-BSW stream WLU - part time, non-BSW Carleton - foundation MSW The UBCO application is due Jan 10 and I am just waiting on my referees to submit their letters. My professional reference does not currently have an institutional email address as she is currently starting a new job and does not have her email set up yet. I have tried to email admissions but have not heard back yet. Does anyone have experience with this? Will it be a problem that she is using a gmail account? I appreciate any insight. Thanks and good luck to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WLU Application Submitted - (no changes) The University of Manitoba- Application Submitted (no changes) Carleton University Preliminary review required (no changes) Here is Carleton's application status page as an example https://graduate.carleton.ca/application-status/ Your app status for Carleton likely has changed to "recommended for assessment" by now if you submitted everything you had to submit - you'll see that on Carleton Central (Carleton 360 doesn't really update the app status). My status changed in mid November before my last referee submitted their reference. Based on past experience, my app status for Carleton changed sometime in Feb 2023 and remained on "in review by department" until September/October 2023 when I was declined admission because I didn't get off the waitlist. So, I wouldn't expect a new app status change for Carleton until February, unless there are less applicants this year Edited January 8 by jmcinn97 Pizzapunx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For MSW, just UCalgary's foundational track, which I have not heard anything from. I also applied to some MEd in Counselling as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 3rd cycle - first time applying to Social Work. I am over the moon - I balled my eyes out at work this morning when I got the news. I am waiting on a couple more schools before I officially decide but I have accepted my offer. Congratulations! I also applied to UBCO's Foundational MSW for Sept 2024. Was your acceptance also for the upcoming Sept 2024 semester? Also, when did you apply? I guess they are sending out offers early as the deadline is Jan 10th!

yenyyenn Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Hi everyone! Just wanted to share to those who applied to Advanced Standing MSW program at YorkU. I emailed them last week about my documents and they've emailed me back and said "application results for the Advanced Standing MSW program are expected to be available mid to late March and will continue until the program is full." Wishing best of luck to everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSWApp28 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hello! Has anyone heard anything back from Laurier for the May 2024 start for the advanced standing, PT, online MSW program? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJLK0316 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hi all, I am graduating with a BA in psych in April 2024. I applied to the 2-year MSW program at UofT and I am so nervous. Feb/March needs to come around ASAP!! After speaking to people in the program and others who have applied and got accepted, waitlisted, etc I am so anxious. Some have said that UofT loves research experience which made me hopeful since I don't have as much experience as other applicants, but someone who read my personal statement said it was strong and if I do get rejected its probably due to my lack of experience. Currently acting as if I got an acceptance already and began planning around it as a form of manifestation 😭 Sending good vibes to all of you who applied this cycle!! See you all in Feb/Mar 🫡 My stats: 3.7 GPA, ~ 2500 hours in social work related experience (research, paid, and volunteer), thesis project, lots of social justice and advocacy volunteer experience and student leadership on campus jmcinn97 and Madison Stewart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glebgleb Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hi everyone. Does anyone know if UofT will send an email stating that a decision has been made? Is the expectation that we check the status page once in a while between Feb-April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socialwork1996 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Hi there! Based on last year, most people started getting results around Feb 16th. I noticed the forum for 2024 is quite smaller, hope that means there wasn’t as many applicants 😝 I put all my eggs in 1 basket so I’m nervous but also trying to be a realist 🫠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
