andwewait Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Does anyone know when Ryerson sends out their letters? On the website for Graduate Studies, it says Mid-Late March. But I applied for the 1 year MSW. I hope it comes out in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to ryerson and YORK last year, however did not get in! I reapplied to YORK this year, with more experience. I am hoping that I get in. I did my BSW at YORK and know that it is very competitive. Anyone know what they actually look for? My average was about a B+ and I have been working as a crisis counsellor for the past 3 years. So that is the experience I have highlighted! Any thoughts? Rossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My average was about a B+ and I have been working as a crisis counsellor for the past 3 years. So that is the experience I have highlighted! Any thoughts? Rossy Hi! My knowledge is obviously hearsay, but from what I've heard York is less clinical and more social justice/policy focused. Experience in social services is obviously great, but they also look for research experiences and people who are a really strong fit for their program (ie. the content of your statement speaks to your research interests which should be in line with the interests of at least one faculty member). On their website they list the cut off for the 1 year program as B+ and the 2 year program is an A. So in terms of grades for the 1 year program you should be good to go. If you've got the grades and the experience I would guess that it comes down to your personal statement sealing the deal. Again, this is all hearsay. I'm an applicant just like you so I don't know how accurate my info is, but I hope that it helps!! Good luck getting through this waiting game!!

LP3 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Has anyone applied to Laurier's part-time, Advanced Standing stream? The decisions are said to come out by June 30th at the latest. When could I expect that they would start making admissions decisions though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Thomas is my first choice too!! i also applied to Calgary MSW, a masters of Counseling at UNBC and Lakehead Uni HBSW.So you would prefer to do the postgrad in social work than the masters? Lakehead is down the list for me cause it starts this summer -.- Edited February 4, 2016 by soapaddict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the fact that Lakehead starts in the summer is what's throwing me off too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalendarGirl Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Has anyone attended Dalhousie online ? I was just wondering about the experience of taking a bachelors of social work online. What was your experience with placement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I took the BSW at Dalhousie on campus, and the reading load is heavy and I heard that the distance BSW is also very heavy in terms of reading. I believe you have to contact places for your placement, and if you live in NS there isnt many places, and I would start thinking about it now. Have you applied to other schools?

Hi, Thanks for your input. I live in Waterloo Ontario, so I would be doing a placement in Waterloo or Kitchener I would hope. I have volunteered at various social service institutions within my community so hopefully I could find a proper placement here. I have applied to the MSW at Laurier and the BSW at University of Waterloo as well. Unfortunately these two programs are super competitive so Dalhousie is sort of my back up plan!

The online MSW at Dalhousie also is competitive but easier to get into than Laurier, I know someone doing the MSW at Waterloo.

CalendarGirl Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Does anyone know my chances of being accepted to U of Waterloo for a BSW in social work? I know that they only accept 30 students per semester but I am unsure of how many applicants they get for the BSW degree. Thank you for your help!

WaitingWaiting4 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 My friend just got a mail acceptance to Dal MSW on campus! A bunch of us have applied, but the others and myself I haven't heard anything yet. My account says "written notification to follow" eeekkkk!! lol Still waiting on Memorial MSW too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaitingWaiting4 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ok... shut the front door!! Literally just heard the mailbox door shut and ran out side! I've been accepted to DAL!! A conditional acceptance pending Faculty of Grad studies approval. I am shaking. I was just giving myself the "you most likely didn't get in, but that's ok" speech, lol. I have been working for 4 years to get accepted into grad school, with 2 failed attempts and 1 year of upgrading courses within that time frame. This means so much to me. I know may of you understand the struggles and barriers to becoming accepted, as an older student. I wish all of you the best of luck and please do not give up if this is something you are dreaming to do!! xoxox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
