Plus the social work community is really small and super close so your placement supervisor will really try to help you get a job. A lot of the professors like Dr.Grant or Dr.Calderwood have connections to jobs in Toronto or London so talk to your professors about where you want to work!

I think that is benefit for two year programs, they will get students from diverse backgrounds which means that they will get different types of social workers. I am so excited to stop speculating and just know my fate haha! Did you e-mail them? Thanks for the encouragement I'm sure you have incredible experience too and a great shot of getting in. Yes, I had to email them for something else so I threw this in too haha. She said "within a week". I can't wait!!! Although I just discovered a silly formatting error in my application and it's driving me a little nuts lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidyl Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 For those who were accepted in previous years, did you have a lot of research experience? the only research experience I've had was based on my 6 credit field research class...which was self directed but nothing formal or published. Other than that no research so I'm a bit worried that will be my demise. As for experience I was an outreach worker in Montreal and did social circus with youth living involved in street related activities. And am really interested in circus arts based research but maybe that's too out there for u of t. i was going a bit crazy so figured I'd post. Good luck!! April is almost here..

Bitter sweet The only research experience I have is my undergrad thesis. And an A in research methods. We're in a similar boat! I have to bank on my experience outside of research as well as my GPA/statements. However not hearing from them after the first 2 rounds is certainly discouraging.

msw007 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I also contacted Laurier today, I spoke to Meghan and she told me the same response "within a week" they should have offers made.

Yes I agree, but then there is one more round! Which hopefully is soon...good luck let us know if you hear back. If I don't get in I might go for the hsbw next year so finding out about that gave me hope about my future. Any idea when the last wave will be? I know this is all speculation but it's fun to set goals not to check until a certain day, gets a little less obssessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAHM Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hello, I am new to this forum. I have applied only to u of t for the MSW 2 year program and I am still waiting to hear. I was accepted to this program in 2009 and completed the first term but left to have a baby. Now almost 7 years later I hope to complete the degree, but I had to re-apply again of course. It seems like the program has become even more popular and competitive. I didn't have extensive research exp with my first application...just a good GPA, good reference letters and a well formulated statement. Also, once you are in the program a strong understanding of feminist theory is super helpful. I have a degree in women studies so that helped me a lot. Best of luck to everyone!

WaitingWaiting4 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Has anyone heard back from Memorial? I remember someone posting on here that decisions would be send out on March 23rd. I know the mail is slow, but that seems like a long time to hear nothing... Ugh. My status still says "application complete", but no "decision made" yet.
