cat_not_kitty Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Don't worry – having read all previous years' forums (many more than once) I can assure you that it's never been alphabetical in the past! 6 minutes ago, Erin32796 said: i hope it isn't in alphabetical order! Mine starts with B.

So excited!! Firstly, congrats on your admissions! I am interested in applying to the post-BSW program at Waterloo next year and there hasn't been much discussion about the program in this forum. I was just curious about how much volunteer/work experience you had in the social sector before applying. The Waterloo website doesn't really discuss if there are a minimum number of hours needed.

2 Year MSW Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Does it always say SW MSW 2 2018-2019 for you guys or does that only show up along with "invited" once you have been accepted? Cause right now, it says nothing under degree registration status, only "you do not have any enrolled courses for 2018 Winter" Do you think there will be another round of acceptances? And for those who go accepted - what was you avg and how many yrs of experience did you guys have? Klara_kay 1

UoT is my dream school and I am in serious disbelief I got accepted. CONGRATS FRIEND! we are going to be classmates. i ran out of the ability to send likes (grad cafe -__-) BUT WHOOOT!
Klara_kay Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 AHH! This is so intense! Nothing on my ACORN. Also a little misleading in that someone got through to the admissions office today and they mentioned Thursday? EEK! Perhaps that was another program. Fingers crossed these are just the initial offers!!!
Erin32796 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 How many people does U of T accept for the 2-year?

Thanks! My work experience is limited in the social work field; however, I was a p/t high school teacher for 5 years. My volunteer experience includes about 400 hours as a summer camp counselor. Compared with others, I don't think my experience is that significant. I was put on the waitlist last year for U of T's 2-year MSW so this is my plan B I have been taking the prereqs online through Renison this past year and have had a really great experience. This fall I hope to apply for 1 year MSW programs. lala91 1

cat_not_kitty Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 What the!? I have no idea why the person who answered the phone would say something as confusing and misleading as that. I have seen many, many forum members get invited via ROSI and ACORN over the years – they've all absolutely been acceptances. Past forum members have also called Angela as well as the SGS office about this, and both have confirmed that 'Invited' means accepted. Don't fret about it! Of course you'll feel better once you have your letter in hand – but I feel completely comfortable saying that it's not a glitch...and, trust me, I'm a not one to be presumptuous about these things, for fear of having my heart ripped out of my chest. 16 minutes ago, karisma said: @cat_not_kitty i really really hope so!!!!! i really hope so. i spoke to someone at admin who wasnt angela and shes like oh this doesnt sound right but idk what to believe rn- i guess ill believe it when i see the actual sheet of paper!! angela isnt picking up but this definitely isnt a glitch or anything right?

Corrina_22 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Congrats to everyone getting their acceptances for the 2 year MSW at U of T! I just got Invited, so I wanted to say that I am looking forward to hopefully having our paths cross in the coming months

That sound extremely misleading, I'm not sure why she would say that...I can also confirm that my friends from previous years who had "invited" have definitely been accepted, so she was probably reffering to the fact that the system updated that quickly?
cat_not_kitty Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Sounds like she was thinking of the SGS site... 7 minutes ago, karisma said: like the invited- shes like oh it should take another 2 weeks to change idk i think you also replied to my message earlier, my last name starts with J! im all over the place so my bad if i didnt reply

cat_not_kitty Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) They set their 2-year admissions at a "steady state" of 145 in 2013, according to the 2014 Self-Study, http://socialwork.utoronto.ca/about-us/utqap-self-study-2014/. ☺️ 26 minutes ago, Erin32796 said: How many people does U of T accept for the 2-year?

Erin32796 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 @cat_not_kitty thanks for finding that out! Oh god not many people!! Let's not lose hope!!!
GradApplicant22 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Okay, I officially hate this site. JK congrats fellow hopefuls on your long-awaited acceptances So what does one do when they had no backup plan? For all those once rejected, how did you spend your year before being eligible to re apply? VictoriaT 1
