lee22 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hey Everyone! For those applying to UofT and Laurier, what streams did you choose? My choices UofT: Social Justice and Diversity Laurier: CPPO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplegrey Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Hey Lee22, I chose the same for Laurier, but I did we have to choose for UofT for the 2-year MSW? I didn't write that anywhere in my application. Edited January 15, 2015 by purplegrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee22 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi purplegrey! No it did not ask, but I wrote in my statement that was the stream I was interested in. Sorry didn't mean to scare you haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettyg Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 All the deadlines for my schools have passed, so now the waiting game officially begins! Anyone have strategies for not stressing about it for the next few months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianmsw Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hi everyone! First time posting, long time lurker. I was just curious about what people's thoughts were on Carleton's 2 year MSW program. I don't want to move out of the city so I really want to stay local. I didn't see too many people talking about it in this thread. Anyone know much about it? Is it super competative? Have any of you applied? For those who have been accepted in the past and decided not to go, what kind of experience do you have? I'm currently in the process of trying to rack up more experience. I'm thinking I'll apply in December for Fall 2016. I have 6 months full time government experience in health service/research and 1.5 years experience working as an addiction counsellor at a youth treatment centre (I still work there ft). I have volunteered at the court house in the past to support at risk women and I plan on picking up a volunteer gig this year to help boost my application. I'm probably sitting at around 2,000 hours and I know Carleton requires minimum 3,500. I will probably have just enough by December... If anyone has insight, I would love to hear from you!

msw22 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 @Bettyg asides from going to the gym, I'm planning a trip in the summer so my mind's being occupied by getting together an itinerary for that! haha @lee22 - Laurier: CPPO + IFG (integrated option with emphasis on CPPO) U of T- Health & Mental Health with a collaborative degree option in health services and policy research (non-PhD option) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishingonuoft Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 @lee22 You don't specify stream for 2 year MSW, just for advanced standing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialworkerr Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Did anyone apply to Western's program? No one seems to be talking about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpalesh Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 lee22 - I am in the Social Justice and Diversity stream as well. Are you advanced standing or 2-year? For Laurier I am applying for IFG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpalesh Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 soapaddict - it depends on which school. Laurier looks at the last 10 courses (although I'm sure they give weight to the overall GPA as well). UofT only counts 3rd or 4th year courses in the 10 they look at so if you have an 2nd year courses in your final year they will look back further to make sure you have 10 3rd or 4th year and then calculate you GPA from that.

daneryssnow Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone who applied to Windsor's advanced standing program knew when we will start hearing about admissions decisions? I can't find the information anywhere and since the program starts in May,I figure the decisions must be earlier than the other advanced standing decisions from Ontario schools (early-mid march). Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishingonuoft Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I just found out I won't be home at my permanent address this upcoming April where my decision letter will be sent for the U of T (2 year). I was wondering if anyone knows approximately when decisions go out, and if there are ways to check online...or even if "size" of decision letter is any indication? **Edit: as a non-U of T student I'm not on ROSI, just the standard U of T school of graduate studies application. Any input would be appreciated Edited January 20, 2015 by wishingonuoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishingonuoft Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 "Under review" is the status that appears when they have received all of your documents and payment, it will stay like that until decisions are made, at which point it will change to "Decision made"......eeeeeeeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw22 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 @Canadian_Uni_International what stream are you hoping to go into if accepted and did you apply to any other programs? April does indeed seem far away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b39 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hey guys, I just found out I won't be home at my permanent address this upcoming April where my decision letter will be sent for the U of T (2 year).

Any input would be appreciated Hey there, from what I remember people saying last year large envelope is an acceptance package and small letter size is a rejection or wait list. As far as checking online, there is a way to do it. I remember doing it last year even though I am not / never was a UofT student. There is a way to get your UofT student number from your application and then create a password which allows you to view your ROSI account and see if you've been accepted (it won't show rejections though, only acceptances) I wish I could help more but the process of creating the ROSI account is really fuzzy in my mind, hopefully someone else can add more details about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishingonuoft Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 @b39 thanks! I made a ROSI account, do you happen to know where one would check for the application on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw22 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I believe when you log in to ROSI where it says "Registration" the status there changes, I could be wrong but I think I remember reading that from an old post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b39 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 @b39 thanks! I made a ROSI account, do you happen to know where one would check for the application on it? It was on the very first page (I believe the home page) when you log in. If you were accepted it would say successful or something along those lines but that only showed up maybe 2 weeks before the letters arrived. I think people saw the status of acceptance on ROSI mid-March for the 2 year program and then letters arrived first or second week of April.
