MSWapplicant239 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I actually called them today to find out what my status was, as I had been accepted to another program at Ryerson that was wanting a tuition deposit ASAP. I called Ann Chen (the program advisor) and she looked it up for me! She said that they have been slowly sending out emails to those who have been wait listed/declined...honestly, I wasn't given a definite date stating when everybody will know by! I just know "by the end of the month" . You should just call and ask! Ann was really nice and didn't seem to mind at all. I have my BSc with a major in Psychology. I did lots of volunteering throughout my degree, specifically with the Calgary Immigrant Women's Association and the Elizabeth Fry Society. During my degree I worked at Brenda's House (a family homeless shelter) for a little less then a year, and then moved on to working frontline at Wood's Homes. I was still at Wood's at my time of application. I'm pretty excited to be first on the wait list but am also obviously nervous about the fact that it's not definite. What is your experience like? Keep me updated on what Ann says!! Oh, thanks so much for this! Good for you for calling, they said they weren't giving application statuses over the phone, so I didn't bother. So do the people who were accepted already get emailed then? Did she say? Anxiously waiting over here! I believe you will get in for sure, since there's likely someone who will get accepted but go elsewhere. Funny thing, I also work for Wood's! Been working in a school program for the last few years. My undergrad is in Anthropology and I have some experiences with museum work and international volunteering. Maybe we'll cross paths some day:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b39 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hey this is a question for wait-listers does anyone know if the updated resume needs to include all the experience from the previous resume or just the new experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendmsw Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi everyone. Does anyone know when we'd hear from OGS for u of t? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSWapplicant239 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Okay, I'm on the wait list too! Also shocked, but not feeling too hopeful since there are only 10 spots in the program and 10 of us on the wait list. Happy to have made it this far though. Good for you for being top of the wait list! Good luck:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm super shocked theres only 10 spots...for some reason I was under the impression that there were 25?!? I wonder why its so small!! Did you find out what position you are on the waitlist? Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admdon Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi everyone. Does anyone know when we'd hear from OGS for u of t? I believe usually the highest 25 gpa people addmitted into the 2 yr program normally gets the OGS (another 15 for 1yr I think). But I am not sure when people get notified. Looking for the same info here.... wonder when they will be announced / informed (maybe someone else on this forum already explored that question) ! rendmsw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSWapplicant239 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Yes, thank you so much for the advice! She unfortunately couldn't say where I was on the list. I guess what's meant to be will be. There are 30 applicants accepted in the 2 year program, but only 10 for each specialization. International and Community Development sounds so awesome! Take care:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali_son Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 To those who have been recently posting about University of Calgary's 2 year program: I have been accepted into this program but into the Clinical stream. I got the acceptance email last Wednesday the 2nd. This school was my top choice so I have already accepted the offer. In the email, it said that I had to let them know by April 15th whether I would accept/decline the offer. So seemingly, those on the waitlist would start hearing back after April 15th. However it seems as if they sent out the acceptance letters according to which stream you chose, so not sure if the ICD letters would have been sent on the same day as the Clinical ones. Anyway, hope this helps MSW13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AENMSW Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Anyone know how many people are on the waiting list for Windsor's 2 year regular track program, or have any knowledge/experience with previously being on their waiting list?

Aguilera Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Has anyone here heard anything from York regarding the 2 year program? MyFile still says no decision...

b39 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I actually called them today , and they said we should find out in the next two weeks... Lol great, so at least now I know not to believe that statement (I was told the exact same thing 2 weeks ago and she even said guaranteed). Ah well I guess waiting is better than coping with rejection for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSWRock Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi everyone I found out on Tuesday that I got accepted into the Fulltime Advanced Standing program at Laurier. I had been on the waitlist. I also know of someone else who got accepted the same day from the waitlist for the part time Advanced Standing program. I still have not heard from Waterloo or Western (wait listed at both), but I have already accepted my offer at Laurier. Good luck to everyone!

Morgs14 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Hi all I am new to this forum, and I am just wondering if anyone has applied to the MSW for working professionals at U Windsor? I was finally able to get my application in on April 2nd after a long wait for one of my references who was on sick leave (bless him for getting it to me)! It is a rolling acceptance and I'm just wondering if anyone who has applied and been accepted could tell me how long they had to wait for a decision and also how much work experience you have? I am nervous that I have just over the minimum 3 years work experience. However I also have placement experience through my SSW diploma. Anyways, I only applied to this program so I really hope I get in! I was waitlisted last year for the Laurier part-time program. I am wishing now I would have applied to U of T as well! I guess I will see what happens. Best of luck to everyone and congrats to those who have been accepted Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
