melanietara Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 9 hours ago, SW_Student said: Yes, same here as well. From my understanding, they give RA/TA/GA to all students! Did you check out your letter under communications online regarding minimum funding? According to Pam, we don't have to compete for that. I also did some looking into the RA/TA/GA jobs on the york cupe website and it just all looks amazing! Yeah! I was shocked when she said everyone got that funding! Apparently it's not just for social work students, every grad student that attends York gets it which is just amazing to me. It really makes a compelling argument to choose York SW_Student 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSW-hopeful-2016 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Question for past/current UofT students. Do we receive another info package in the mail once they've received our deposit/acceptance of the offer? I was just wondering how the process works with getting a student card and getting our email set up. I wanted to browse the student housing page and i noticed you need to register with an official uoft email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to browse the student housing page and i noticed you need to register with an official uoft email address. http://tcard.utoronto.ca/ for how to register for a t-card, and there is also a link on the side that explains how to set up a UTorID. Once you have your UTorID you will use that to log into your email at www.mail.utoronto.ca -- your email will automatically be your full name: firstname.lastname@mail.utoronto.ca I think you can create your UTorID now, but sometimes there are weird dates for when you can get your T-Card (last year some people had to wait till July, I already have a t-card because I did my undergrad there, but I think I could only get it some time in the summer months as well). Here is the contact info for the T-Card office: Downtown Toronto (St. George) Campus Koffler Student Service Centre214 College Street, First floor 416-946-8047tcard.office@utoronto.ca Monday…………. 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Tuesday………… 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Wednesday……. 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Thursday……….. 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Friday…………… 9:00 am to 5:00 pm MSW-hopeful-2016 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other details are that we cannot inquire as to our position on the waitlist and that we have to accept or decline being waitlisted by April 25th.

Amira86 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I didn't get an email about the wait list. I'm not sure what to think of that. It sucks but I'll move on. I'm grateful that york rejected me quickly. It made the pain subside much faster....Laurier likes to take off the bandaid slowly I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I sent in my deposit and acceptance of offer, I received an email of confirmation from Angela Umbrello (no further info packages). Also, you will have to register to attend an orientation. Mine is later this month (I am assuming yours will be the same date or shortly thereafter?) and I am thinking and hoping that they will fill us in on all the other stuff (student card, etc.) then. If you need to know before the orientation date, maybe just email or phone Angela? Good luck. MSW-hopeful-2016 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you accept four weeks within the date the acceptance letter was mailed. That's what it said on my letter at least. Good luck! Hope you get in the program of your choice!

nicoleMSW Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) U of T students - It has been a whirlwind of a past few days and I can't remember if this question as been asked already, so I'm going to ask it again. For those of you who were on the wait list, or those of you who know this information in general, how long does it take for the wait list to start moving? Does anyone have any inkling about how many people they put on the wait list? Are there actually decent odds of getting in off the wait list, or should I not focus on that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feeling pretty defeated after this round of applications! Edited April 5, 2017 by nicoleMSW info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Feeling pretty defeated after this round of applications! My advice, as someone who was waitlisted last year, is to not focus on the waitlist at all. Apply for jobs (if that's your plan of action) and focus on moving forward. Try to get the best opportunities you can to strengthen your app, and remember that you're beginning to re-apply in a few short months. That being said, accept your spot on the waitlist and whatever happens, happens. If you do find an amazing job opportunity and happen to find out in August that you've been accepted off the waitlist, you quit your job. Until then - do not focus on getting off. That's just my two cents. nicoleMSW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
