nicoleMSW Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I am a two year applicant so I know there's probably a few weeks left before I hear anything... but just hearing about all of your results is SO encouraging, it's finally starting!! Congrats everyone!! And to those who haven't heard anything yet... Although this is my first time applying so I don't know first hand, I have heard there are waves of admissions for both one and two year programs, so don't lose hope!

lindaMSW Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Congratulations to people who are accepted into U of T !!! I didn't make it this year but I still feel very happy for you wonderful people who have made it!!! But I am still bothered by the fact that some crooks with corrupt mind got into MSW program so easily and use it as a steppingstone to get into medical schools; yet many of us who are genuinely dedicated in helping people don't even get a chance...... I just feel angry and disappointed with the educational system. Edited February 22, 2017 by lindaMSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfor2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 2 hours ago, jaylynn said: Congrats to everyone who got in! Looks like I'm probably waitlisted. Two things: - Does UofT send all acceptances at once or is there a second wave? - Any insight into the Windsor advanced standing program? If it starts in May are you there all summer? Hey Jaylynn-I know Windsors advanced standing program begins in May. From May thru to end of August, students are in class generally one day a week-the odd time it may be necessary to attend twice a week. From September to December classes run 3 days a week. Final term (Jan-May) you have placement 4 days a week, and this can be done back in your home city. I was accepted into Windsors advanced standing program on feb 13, my friend was accepted feb 14 but I know some acceptances and rejections were sent out 5 days before I heard. good luck to all waiting to hear back-hope the waiting game is over soon for you guys! Wishing success to all on their social work journey, with or without an acceptance this year! anyone else accepted an offer from Windsors advanced standing program or waiting to hear from them?

I just feel angry and disappointed with the educational system. Focus on your social work journey in the year ahead Linda. Who knows what situations, opportunities or experiences are waiting for you, that may significantly impact where you want to do your masters, what your focus area of study should be, etc etc. I believe the universe has impeccable timing in having things line up for us the way it should. It maybe helpful to ask U of T for feedback on your application, consider applying to different schools next year, consider your reference choices carefully and if your GPA is a concern for you, consider writing your GRE test (graduate records examination test) this is a way to demonstrate academic aptitude separate from your gpa/university transcripts. Hope this helps. Take care and all the best. Inspired2017, lindaMSW and Bev_TO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishingonuoft Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Congrats to everyone who has gotten admission offers, you all deserve it, I hope you take some time out for a much deserved celebration!!! I just wanted to write a shout out to anyone who has applied to programs that have started sending out admissions and haven't heard any response yet. Reading other people's triumphs--as wonderful as it is for them--can make one feel pretty crappy and discouraged. Just wanted to remind any of you out there feeling anxious, shedding tears, feeling low, that you that you are wonderful, there is still hope, and you'll be okay no matter what. You've survived every challenge so far! I'm rooting for you, and I hope you hear good news soon! Bev_TO, lindaMSW, Kara26 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW_Student Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Congratulations to everyone who heard good news today! It must be so exciting to know what comes next on your social work journey! I didn't make it in this year either, unless they do a second round of admissions of advanced standing (this is my third time applying to UofT specifically). I am aware they do three rounds of admission for the 2-year program, but I am not 100% about whether they do one or two rounds for the advanced standing because they accept less then the 2-year program and also much less also apply. Good luck to everyone, especially those still waiting to hear back from schools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty hard to see I didn't get accepted today, and it led to a roller coaster day of tears, panic and anxiety. Thanks for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated!

Dry_Guy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Congrats to everyone who saw on ROSI they were accepted to UofT. Few questions: Did your SGS account change to decision made or does it still say under review? Do your last names begin with a letter in the first half of the alphabet (A to M). What are second round admission waves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are second round admission waves? Hi Dry_Guy, SGS still says 'UNDER REVIEW' My last name starts with 'L' Second round admissions i believe are supposed to be the 2nd group of admission offers. I'm not too sure how that works or when it's supposed to happen. I hope this helps. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are second round admission waves? Mine still says under review as well! And my last name is Baker, so definitely first if they go alphabetically. According to other forms, I believe there should be multiple waves even for advanced standing? Though now I'm second guessing myself. Please don't give up hope - so few of us say invited, and this is only the beginning for ALL schools. Best of luck everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOCIALWERK2020 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi! I'm asking this for a BSW classmate of mine who doesn't have an account (I won't be applying until next year).... ....but for any UofT advanced standing applicants in the mental health and health stream, has your status on ROSI changed? My friend's still says "under review", but it sounds like a lot of people on here have had theirs say "decision made" already... are there different rounds of decisions? Or is it based on your specialization choice? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev_TO Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Congratulations to all the advanced standing folks who have gotten their acceptances. To those who haven't received word yet, I want to say strong words of encouragement and keep your heads up, there is still time. And even if you don't get in this round, there will be more years, more rounds, and more opportunities. You'll have one more year of experience and be more prepared than ever. So take heart, and don't feel discouraged. Social work is full of challenges, and these challenges are just steps towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, me too! I think this is the key week though - last full week of February (at least for advanced standing) so I'm expecting any day. It's kind of like everything else is on hold until you know. Unless I've already got a rejection letter in the mail (havn't been able to check this week). Anybody hear anything from U of Victoria too?

Dry_Guy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It seems that many who received invites from UofT for Advanced Standing are in the mental health stream. Has anyone from the other streams received an invite as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess now we wait to receive the paperwork to make things official, and proceed with payment, choosing classes, etc.? It doesn't feel real to me until I have the letter in my hand. lol.

If the categorization by last name is a real thing, this will be a game changer I hope!
