imsorryfornothing Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 Just thought I'd post a lil update in here now that everyone's starting to get admission responses. If you got an admission, congrats ❤️ I hope that you take the time to celebrate this accomplishment. If you've gotten rejected, I'm sorry, but please don't let a rejection/s define you. You are worthy, valid, and I truly believe rejection is redirection. This is my first year applying for an MSW, but third year applying to grad programs (previously applied to Psych) programs. Originally, profs and advisors told me to apply for MSW programs because of my research interests. I never listened and got rejected from the Psych programs I applied to, thinking no grad school would ever want me. This year, I decided to take those profs/advisors advice and applied to MSW programs for the first time (accepted to Dal for Fall). Looking back, I would've been miserable in a Psychology program. I'm grateful for my rejections because they directed me to exactly where I need to be. PS: If you're still waiting for a decision, don't lose hope. A lot of schools will continue to give out responses until the end of April/May. Bxyz, maddyyy, nummysquee and 2 others 5

I’m a fellow clinical psych applicant who has now turned towards an MSW path too 💙 (and yes I’ve worked with many psych grad students who are slightly miserable) It’s so easy to feel like you aren’t good enough or you’ll never get in when those rejections happen, but sometimes it’s just preparing you for something better or different than what you originally planned. imsorryfornothing, Bxyz, cmornin and 1 other 4

I'm devastated, since that was my top choice. 🥺 Now all my hopes are at UNBC. Hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. Me too😞 I’m so demoralized. My gpa is 3.93/4 I genuinely don’t even know how I can boost it to be better and I was told Manitoba pretty much solely looks at GPA. I hope you hear some good news from UNBC maripc 1
Bxyz Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Hi. Has anyone heard back from University of Windsor MSW (working professional)

Has anyone heard back from University of Windsor MSW (working professional) Windsor seems to be running much later than usual this year. They haven’t even sent offers for their in-person program yet I saw someone reached out and they were expecting decisions for working professionals to go out in April.
haileym10 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Has anyone that applied to the UBCO foundational stream gotten an email saying that their application is under review? I got mine January 31 and I've heard people say they hear back soon after they get that email so now I'm getting worried.

I applied, also got that email sometime end of January but haven’t heard back yet. I heard one person got an acceptance a few weeks ago but I also saw on Reddit that they said March/April so could be any day but also might be a few weeks. 🤞🏻this is my first application cycle so we will see
maripc Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I was just waitlisted at UNBC ☹️ I hope they end up calling me, but who knows! Does anyone have any experience on being waitlisted there or at any other university? Should I just keep waiting for them to contact me for months on end or is there a timeline? This wait never seems to end

They must've sent that email out to a bunch of people at the end of January then. Hopefully we hear back soon!
nummysquee Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I have heard from colleagues that York has started sending out letters!

This wait never seems to end I've been waitlisted before (not UNBC, but UofA for their Psych program). They tend to wait till they fill all spots (May/June) and if there are any openings (e.g., someone rejects their acceptance), they go through the waitlist to fill those. So, unfortunately you could be waiting a while 😕.
cmgordon Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Has anyone heard anything (or is anyone able to make an educated guess) about when U of T will send out decisions for domestic foundational 2 year applicants? I swear I’m giving myself a stress ulcer from waiting…

But that’s just a guess and I’m still checking the portal multiple times a day

I did just see a post in the MSW Helper Facebook group that someone contacted the department yesterday and said to expect decisions from early-mid April. I hope that it's sooner though. Also very anxiously waiting a decision from them!
