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. 

That's what I was thinking. I have a backup plan that starts in May which could help me find opportunities to strengthen my application, and if I get in off the waitlist I'm definitely going to quit (because it won't affect me adversely to do so) and start at U of T in the fall. Definitely hoping to see you there!

Has anyone heard anything from Windsor regarding their 2 year program? It's been almost a month since I saw someone post  that they sent out acceptances, but I haven't seen anyone post that they got in. This is my first year applying with not much experience so I didn't expect to get in anywhere and then I was waitlisted at UofT so I'm starting to feel hopeful...

Has anyone heard anything regarding the structure and content of King's 2 year MSW program? 

Thanks!

Same here. Does anyone know how quick the wait list moves??

I'm on the waitlist for the 1 year program and wasn't even told how many people are on it. 

As for the 2 year, my friend was waitlisted last year and said a lot of people got in within a month. So hope remains for all of you

Course info (not a schedule unfortunately) is found here: https://www.wlu.ca/programs/social-work/graduate/social-work-msw/program-details/index.html 
Course registration opens mid-May, but before then you might find the Fall 2017 schedule on here: https://telaris.wlu.ca/ssb_prod/bwckschd.p_disp_dyn_sched

Is there a FB group for Laurier MSWs this year?

No Facebook group yet. Want to create one and post the link? 

 

Thanks for that info about the schedule!

I was wondering the same thing Jaylynn-I'll be starting there in May for the advanced standing program and I am really excited! Are you all set to start there too?

Pretty much. Still trying to figure out my work schedule and how i'll commute back and forth from Toronto. I just can't believe it's creeping up so quickly!

Hey guys, just got my status for lakehead, it says I have been waitlisted. To be honest, was happy that I did not get accepted because I really wanted to do UVIC online. So I am going to start University of Victoria 2 year BSW in a few weeks! and then hopefully apply to the advances standing MSW

Did you ever hear back from Windsor about their two year program?

[McMo2017]

Hi everyone,

To all those who recieved offers for the 2-year MSW at Laurier, can you share the deadline you were given to make a decision about your offer? 

I'm wondering if this deadline determines when the part-time offers will go out, in case there are some who applied to both and get to choose which they prefer? Perhaps it affects the amount of part-time seats they'll offer?

Thank you!

No they didn't send me an email yet on my lake head account. I viewed it by clicking on application status and it said no have been wait listed on there. I am guessing the emails will be followed shortly.

I've been wait listed too! Just like @moh230 I didn't get any e-mails, I just checked the "application status" tab on the Lakehead myInfo page

@moli I was just waitlisted at the Orillia campus 

[PregnantSeahorse]

Hey all who just replied about the Lakehead admissions, just wondering where you can see that you have been waitlisted. When I click on the 'My Application Status' tab it shows me the application for both Orillia and Lakehead but then just has the regular columns of 'Start Term, Program Choice, Campus, etc.' Where does it show that your status has somehow changed? Thanks in advance!

Click on the applicant tab & then click on "my application status". It should show a little grey box with your status on it. 

[Dave36]

Just saw the email from Sonya about decisions being made. Nothing showing up for me yet, ugh the wait is so brutal!

[moli]

Has anyones status changed to something other than waitlisted for lakehead?
