tdamaren Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Has anyone heard anything about/ from Laurier? I've applied to the two year program and Laurier and U of T!
ssbbaker Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Or anything from Carleton? Still waiting to hear about advanced standing. I know not many people on here applied to Carleton but any word..?

I've been following these threads for a few weeks now (wish I would have found them sooner!) but first time posting. I've applied to the two year programs at U of T and UBC- Okanagan. Has anyone else applied to UBC? I haven't seen too many people that have so I'm not sure when they start sending out responses. I've also applied to Carleton for MA Psychology. I know that doesn't apply to this thread but it's definitely quiet on the Carleton psych front- wondering if anyone could direct me to a thread that might have info? Nothing is really listed in the Canadian psych 2017 thread as it's not a clinical program. Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone! Hey, I applied to both those MSW programs and of course have not heard from UofT yet, but for UBC-O I did get waitlisted and they let me know near the end of January. They said that they would have all decisions finalized with regards to acceptances and people who get off the waitlist by the end of March/beginning of April! LaingerMAMSW 1

My one friend got wait-listed, but I have not heard from anyone who has received an acceptance from Laurier! It also stated that the stronger of the applicants had over 3500 hours or 2 years of experience. Good luck!

Hopeful18 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I have not received anything from York and am wondering if York does rolling admissions or if not receiving an email today means I didn't get in or got wait-listed. I checked my status on myfile and it still says "no decision."

I was wondering the same thing but I think they may stagger it over a few days - someone got accepted to U of Calg the day before I got an email - so I assume we are still okay for tomorrow and early next week Because I havn't heard of others getting any notification either way from York yet....

I have about 3000 but I'm just curious

I definitely felt however that my experiences accumulated to over 3500 hours, even calculated it too. I applied to the advanced standing msw. Waiting on U of T, Ryerson and York still. So crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
Onamika Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) @tdamaren I think it states that for both of the programs, but I applied to the advanced standing one! I have known people who were accepted to the MSW at Laurier with minimal experience outside of their practicum. So keep your fingers crossed and hopefully you'll get in. I'm sorry to hear @dnswsa, but stay positive for the other schools. I'm also waiting to hear back from Ryerson and York. Edited February 24, 2017 by Onamika

I wanted to ask if it's ok - you didn't apply to Calgary? It may be the program I go to (online) but I don't know much about Calgary...

Just wanting to know so I can plan for the future! No I didn't apply because I felt the specializations for me aren't quite what I'm looking for in terms of courses an learning experience, i received a rehabiliation and disability studies degree and my bsw. just thought after 2 degrees from u of c, I feel I have fairly decent foundation of the human services sector here so I thought to diversify and try a new experience in a different city Edited February 24, 2017 by dnswsa

Yes, for me it's the opposite for Toronto in that the programs don't really speak to where I want to go; I went to Ryerson for my BSW. I'd like to hopefully combine social work with business a bit (start a business combined with social good/giving back to the community) which is why the leadership specialization interested me. I'd like to do an MBA in future, but that can be a 10 year goal and lots of studying/preparing for that, lol. Cool - thanks for the positive info about u of Calg as Calgary is still my go to if I don't hear positive news from York. Edited February 24, 2017 by 2017hoping
emmaleigh Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Hi lovely friends! My name is Emma and I am a 1st yr MSW student at the University of Toronto. You can email me with any questions at emma.hachey@mail.utoronto.ca Some info for you... I was waitlisted until June 2nd, then received a call that I was accepted! I know it may seem like there is no hope for you as these letters roll out and people are getting accepted via ROSI or mail but I promise, hope is not lost because you are not in the first cohorts accepted. I love the program and am doing my first practicum right now and just signed up for the Health & Mental Health stream. Please feel free to send me an email and I will try to answer whatever questions I can in my spare time. Good luck to you all and I hope to see some of you next fall! Hopeful18, Newfor2017, Inspired2017 and 2 others 5

I think Carleton makes offers to both Advanced and Foundation year applicants at the same time. Hold tight! You'll hear back soon! Good luck!
jaylynn Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Just came home to find out I've been waitlisted at UofT. 3 down 1 to go! A little disappointing, especially since they said I have until April 18 to let them know... but Windsor begins in May. Wah Anyone know if the waitlist for advanced standing at UofT is stream specific? And how many Laurier puts on the waitlist? Still trying to accept that I may have to wait another year if I can't find the funds to move to Windsor.
kk1010 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Received acceptance to the 2 year program at Carleton today! Good luck to everyone! wishingonuoft 1
