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 applied to the full time program. On the first page, don’t click documents, click your MSW application. Then, your screen will say “Status” or something, and it’ll say either there has been no decision on your application yet, “admit” for acceptance, or “deny” if you’re denied admission! ctran 1

Pizzapunx Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Email just out from Carleton. All applications have now been reviewed and admissions decisions will start trickling in over the next few weeks.

Like it is true for me as I already have an acceptance elsewhere but Carleton is one of my top choices and that email made my stomach drop lol even though I'm sure it was meant to be reassuring and motivating.
Pizzapunx Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Definitely stressful, but at least they email us and are transparent throughout the process. That's more than I can say for the other programs I've applied to. KJLK0316, paulinababy and lorzo101 3

I hope soon they release admissions/ results
Pizzapunx Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Just got rejected from Carleton non-BSW. holding out for Manitoba. Good luck everyone
Spaceyy Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Got waitlisted for Carleton non BSW. Said 10 people would have to reject before they offer a spot to someone on the waitlist which is 19 people.
lorzo101 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I got rejected today for Carleton's one-year advanced standing program. They only accept around 25 people, so this was expected. Now waiting to hear back from other programs. Good luck, everyone!

jmcinn97 Posted February 22 Author Posted February 22 (edited) Got waitlisted for Carleton's non BSW program for the second time :'). Considering the fact that they send offers out to 35 people it makes sense that more than 10 declines are needed for offers to be made to people on the waitlist. I calculated and since they made offers to 9 people on the waitlist last year and the program is only big enough for a cohort of 25 people each year, that means 19 applicants rejected their offers last year. (meaning 16 people accepted their offers and they needed to fill the cohort which explains why they made offers to 9 people on the waitlist). Either way, good luck to anyone who's also on the waitlist, and I hope you receive positive results from the other schools you applied to Edited February 22 by jmcinn97 Kai24 1
paxbellator Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) Regarding Calgary MSW: Acceptance rate for non-BSW students this year is 17-19 students/cohort. Was told they're keeping it low because in year 2, non-BSW students join the cohort for a total class size of about 30 through the remainder of the program. The fMSW waitlist is "significantly longer" than spots available, they won't get through it. However, it's moving. Final day for acceptance of 1st round offers was 16 Feb 2024. They're going down the waitlist list now. Disclosure: I was accepted off the waitlist yesterday Edited February 22 by Cedar_and_Oak KJLK0316 1
Kai2224 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Did anyone else’s Carleton status get changed to something like “in review by faculty of graduate and postdoctoral affairs”? I’m not sure if this is standard or a good sign!

I hope you squeeze in!!! ❤️ jmcinn97 and Kai24 2
canadiandmbfan Posted February 23 Posted February 23 (edited) I was denied entry into the U Waterloo full-time program today, and I am a bit flabbergasted. I will graduate with my BSW in May of this year, and my current GPA is 4.08/4.50 (second degree). I have all As and A+'s. I have over 44 0000 hours of experience (13 years in child welfare, 6 of those as a Child Protection Worker and 9 years working in addictions and mental health). I know my references were strong. I based my statement of intent on a policy paper on which I got an A+. Waterloo is not my first choice, and I still have two other outstanding programs, but it has set me back. For those who were admitted, may I ask you what your stats are? I am shocked that I did not even get waitlisted. I was at least waitlisted a year ago when I applied for the WLU PT regular track.

LizzieF. Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Did anyone else get an invite, plus showing a deposit due on Acorn for UOFT? What does that mean?? I don't see any email or anything on the admission page. RBMSW 1
