purplegrey Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 @social work 93, I'm basically in the same position as you. My lease (in Montreal) ends on May 1st but I have a work contract until August 30th so I could try to transfer my job and find an apt and sign a 1 year lease in the city that I get accepted (hopefully), or find a summer sublet in Montreal for the summer and continue my work contract here. Since I've been living with roommates for the last 4 years, I'm finally moving out with my partner so no roommates for me (besides him, haha). I am super excited about starting this next chapter and I'm really fortunate that he's able to move with me (he can also transfer his job). You're not alone in obsessing as to whether or not we will get in. That is all I can think about, especially since we will find out about Carleton extremely soon. I got an email response from admissions yesterday stating that they are finalizing their decisions this week (OH MY GOSH) and they want to have everything posted by the end of the month. I'm thinking we will know by next week. I literally think about whether or not I will get in EVERYDAY! I applied for the 2 year at U of T, York, Laurier, Carelton, and Windsor. I will likely be getting an apartment and moving out to be closer to which ever school I get into. Is anyone else going to be moving out and getting an apartment? If you do, do you plan on living along or with a roommate? On a different note, does anyone know how to add the "signature" where you can write what schools you have applied to at the bottom of your post? Thanks!

b39 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 For all the U of T applicants, I'm thinking this might affect us if they don't come to an agreement. http://www.thestar.com/yourtoronto/education/2015/02/12/u-of-t-non-tenured-staff-poised-for-strike-feb-27.html What do you all think? I really hope this doesn't affect us but like blh22 mentioned, I think that most of the professors on the admissions committee are tenured or at least they are permanent which means I don't think this impacts them. It seems to be mostly about TA's and sessional profs. Fingers crossed I am already counting the days as it is so I hope that the decisions don't get delayed even further. @ soapaddict, what in particular are you wondering about York's 2 year?

I did not even think of that! And from what i am hearing around campus, it looks like a strike is likely (unless some magic happens between now and the 26th). Maybe we can ask Angela.

cheekss Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks for your feedback and welcomes everyone! Kourterr, congrats on being accepted! Did you receive your notification by email or mail? I wasn't expecting that they would be making offers so soon because of their late application deadline. Wishing all of you the best of luck.

sdp732 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 For anyone applying for the advanced standing MSW, Ryerson seems to still be accepting applications! I literally applied two weeks ago. I intended on staying in Alberta and working for another year and a half.. but the hiring freeze is limiting opportunities here so I made a last minute decision to apply for my MSW!

Prairiegirl2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hello all i.e. those who applied to Carleton, I just check my status and under supporting documents it stated admissions application, do any of you have that? I was suddenly excited ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplegrey Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Prairiegirl2015, I have that as well - it's been there forever. I feel like we will be overanalyzing this portal for the next few weeks. I've also been constantly re-reading my personal statements. I know there's nothing I can do about them now but somehow it usually gives me a boost of confidence. Anyone else re-reading their submitted documents?

Wishing all of you the best of luck. cheekss, thank you!! I called them last week to find out what their process was since it's not very clear elsewhere. Basically they have a rolling admissions process, and they don't have a set deadline that they have all the offers out by. I had my application in by very early December, and therefore it has made it through the lengthy process already. Oh, and I received my notification by email. Fingers are crossed for you!!

purplegrey Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Mine says the exact same thing: "Review in progress by department". But I second aleksp's comment, does anyone else who has applied to Carleton (1 year or 2 year program) have anything different? I have that too and was wondering if this was there the whole time....has anyone seen any other changes to their status?

rachelmsw Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I forget if someone has already posted this or if I already asked the question, but does anyone know when Lakehead H.B.S.W starts sending out offers of admission? I know Laurier and U of T are usually mid April but can't seem to locate info on Lakehead's site pointing to their timeline. Thanks! edit: Nevermind, I figured out how to search the whole thread and saw that someone replied mid-march! Sorry guys, good luck for those finding out soon!
