yann87 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi everyone, I have been accepted into Laurier's 2-year program and am waiting, like so many others, for a response from the U of T. Let us assume I was fortunate enough to be accepted by Toronto. Does anyone have any knowledge of the relative strengths and weaknesses of these programs? Thanks.

smpalesh Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Share a little more about your social work interests and goals and I can give you some more input.

amygdala29 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Has anyone heard from Uni of Calgary? I've applied for the distance MSW (leadership focus). Wondering if anyone has heard from them? I've applied to the U of C as well and I haven't heard anything yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali_son Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hey ali-son…. I don't mean to pry any further….. but could you also specify what you calculated your hours at? Thank you again Sure, my total hours for combined volunteer and employment experiences was 4300 hours. I noticed that someone else mentioned on this forum that they suggested going back to high school on your resume, and that is what I did as well. Besides my major employment and volunteer hours, I have been a gymnastics coach since I was 15 so that contributed quite a few hours, and I added on a bunch of smaller volunteer projects that I've done.. it all adds up!

AENMSW Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Congrats on the acceptances, everyone! Still waiting to hear back myself. I applied to the 2 Year, Regular-Track MSW program at Windsor and received that standard e-mail, stating that they had begun to send out their acceptance offers to the first 30 and will send out more based on declines and those who don't respond. Is it safe to assume I'm waitlisted? The status on my UWin account still reads as "Referred to Department." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannika_star Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 @dannika_star thanks for the Info on Thunder Bay. I just got into the HBSW program at Thunder Bay too I live in Toronto though, so i am concerned about the move and extra costs! The $13,000 in tuition fees seems like a lot. Are you counting in tuition + books + rent ? lol Would you know how much they ask to put down as a deposit to hold your spot? Any advice/tips would be great! That's just tuition alone sadly. Books and cost of living is more. Around $500 per month if living off campus in a student home, $700-$900 for your own apartment roughly, and more to live on campus. I think it's just $150 for the deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannika_Star I think I read a while back that you were interested in putting together a Facebook group for new MSW students entering UofT? Are you still interested in doing that or have you already done so? Leah_N 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannika_star Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Dannika_Star I think I read a while back that you were interested in putting together a Facebook group for new MSW students entering UofT? Are you still interested in doing that or have you already done so? Yes I would love to! I haven't yet but I will do that tonight. Just not sure how to go about adding people or having people find the group. My experience last year was that I emailed the school and let them know there was a group to join if students were interested. Not sure if Toronto would be receptive to that. I will post the name of the group on here once I've created it though Also, can you explain to me how I can put what school I was accepted to underneath in my signature since you and so many others have? I can't seem to find it on the account settings. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris10 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have been officially rejected from Laurier. Now just waiting to hear from UofT and hopefully Windsor since I believe I am currently wait listed there. Hoping we hear from U of T soon!

apasy12 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Has anyone heard from Uni of Calgary? I've applied for the distance MSW (leadership focus). Wondering if anyone has heard from them? I haven't heard from U of Calgary yet (I've applied to the 2 year clinical social work program). I also applied last year and was notified in May that I was put on the waitlist. It wasn't until August that I had a follow up email letting me know that I hadn't been accepted. Hope we will hear from them a bit earlier this year!

mei.cee Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hello everybody! I've been accepted to Laurier, but also waiting for UofT and York U. I hope we will hear from these schools soon since there's a deadline to accept the offer-- mine's the 14. Good luck to all of us. I'm thrilled to join this forum !

Difrax Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Congratulations to everyone who got acceptance letters so far! Something very interesting happened to me, so I will share it with you guys thinking that maybe someone can benefit from the info. Thursday I received a voice mail message from York University saying that they have a part-time program for MSW and the guy on the phone is asking me whether I want to consider this option or not? Part-time studies will take 2 years instead of 1 and comes with no funding. But I will be able to work during this time. Maybe somebody from you, who is eager to have a MSW degree would be interested in this. I am not since I will be starting in fall at U o T. You could inquire about this option if you are put on the wait-list or let York U know that you would be interested in part time studies and if there will be a chance for a spot, they should consider you as a candidate. Good luck for those who are still waiting for a decision! Edited March 30, 2014 by Difrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
