Someone mentioned next week for 2 year applicants but last time I applied (2015), I received a "Decision Made" (rejection) on MyFile by mid-February so I'm wondering whether I it's a good sign that I've received nothing so far.. that is if they send out rejections first. Hey! Unfortunately, I don't know much This is my first time applying so all I really know is what's come up from the forums. Neither of my applications say "decision made" so we're in the same boat!

For U of T's 2 year program they typically send results out late March/early April. One year I received my waitlist letter the last week of March, and the one before was the first week of April. Good luck! karisma, smntoronto and MSWapplicant2021 3

smntoronto Posted March 8, 2018 Author Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Has anyone completed the SOCI 301 (Social Statistics) course through Athabasca University? I'm wondering if anyone has any feedback on this course ie: how long it took to complete, was it very difficult, etc. Thanks Edited March 8, 2018 by smntoronto

Have you applied to Laurier?

SWYorkie Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Hi all, Most of York's 1-Year Advanced Standing MSW offers will go out by the end of this week. If you do not receive an offer by Monday, it means you were either denied or wait-listed. The 2-Year Part-Time Advanced Standing MSW and 2-Year Full-Time MSW offers will go out by the end of next week. Good luck to all those still waiting! cat_not_kitty and smntoronto 2

I know someone had mentioned earlier in the thread that advanced standing applicants are supposed to hear this week and 2 year applicants next week. Does anyone know from previous years whether they send out offers, rejections and waitlists all in the same couple weeks? I got a phone call yesterday with an offer for the advanced program. kidsndog 1
cat_not_kitty Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Congratulations, BruiseV08 (and all those who have received acceptances over the past couple of days)!! As @smntoronto said, AWESOME dilemma to have . And as @SWYorkie said, if money isn't a major issue for you, go with paradigmatic framework! There are substantial differences between U of T and York/Ryerson in terms of what you'll learn and how you'll learn it, especially given your chosen stream at U of T. If you had only gotten into one school, you could – of course – have shaped your degree/placements to meet your specific pedagogical and professional goals, but given the fact that you have your pick of the litter, you now have the incredible opportunity to choose the institution that's the best fit for you in terms of values and interests.

Monoo Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Hey folks, Long time lurker... I just signed up to share that I called York just now, and was told that anyone who has not already received a call for the advanced standing has been either waitlisted or rejected. I spoke to the Graduate Program Assistant who told me that he already personally called everyone who has been accepted. I hope this helps everyone who has been waiting. I did not get in either. He did mention that the program is so competitive (he said possibly the most competitive, as it has an approximately 3% acceptance rate), that being accepted or denied often doesn't reflect how strong the application was. It is often decided by other factors like your research interests aligning with the research supervisors'. I really hope this helps!

Monoo Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Also, he mentioned that official letters for the advanced standing at York will go out next week. Edited March 8, 2018 by Monoo clarity

Best to take the one that best complements your areas of interest. It is pretty tempting . . . Anyway, a brief update: all of my online status' have changed today from U of T, York and Ryerson. York says "Admitted" with a link to ACCEPT/DECLINE, and U of T says "Decision Made", and Ryerson also. I just declined York, so there's at least one spot that just opened up to a York hopeful. Edited March 8, 2018 by BruiseV08 bragging too much :(
