Think she just said that knowing that it would be sooner? perhaps in an effort to lessen the anxiety around waiting...and then BOOM surprise!?!?! You think?

I heard they only accepted 9 last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is super sadistic and evil but I am happy advanced standing will have to wait longer like the two years MUHAHAHHAHAHAHA (unless this means two year won't hear back till even later....then I take it back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2017hoping Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 For social workers or future social workers, this is a pretty stressed out board right now Good thing we all have our coping skills.....chocolate and more chocolate! (lol, jks) Anyways, most of the schools say mid-Feb to beginning of March to start letting student know so I am expecting to hear back, either rejection letters in the mail or online status's or acceptance emails in the next couple weeks. All the best to everyone, and chocolate on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2017hoping Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ah so I just checked my mail, and got a letter from Dalhousie. It says they (school of social work admissions committee) are pleased to notify me of recommendation of acceptance to the Dean. Final decision needs to still go through Faculty of Graduate studies, if approved, they will mail me an official letter of acceptance. Just FYI - here is the start! tnt92 and sososocialwork 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I called my parents and was yelling it in the phone, haha. Even though it's not the official letter yet. Of course it would be ideal to do it in Toronto, but this was the program I thought I could get into. I wanted to let others know on here as it has yesterday's date. Although like others have said, I am now thinking about the money aspect too as I also have financial obligations while working full time. Anyways things should fall into place and there may be other ways of funding. Edited February 8, 2017 by 2017hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful18 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I know one person in this forum wrote that they had received a rejection letter for York and I'm wondering if anyone else has gotten one or knows of others who have been rejected. Yweang had mentioned that rejections go out first so it would help to gauge where we all stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine still says "In Process." So I'm assuming rejected or waitlisted, at best. Nothing but mind games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dry_Guy Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Just curious, what the average age is of everyone in here applying to grad school? I'm 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_Student Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I just turned 24 last week.

riaveda Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 @Dry_Guy I'm 26. It took me 5 years to finish my undergrad & then I did a 1-year social service work diploma at Fanshawe. I worked for a bit then went back to university to get all the pre-reqs I needed for my MSW. This is my 2nd time applying & the wait is making me mad/sad/frustrated! I wish the next few months would fly by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
