I spoke to someone early last week and they told me most successful applicants have been working in the field for several years. Hm... If so then it doesn't really make sense for me. Why have an option for non BSW applicants then? Easier to recruit people straight from the field. Ugh, if only we could understand the system?

_Nomad_ Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) And I just got reply from WLU admission department- same old standart suggestions. Did anyone get specific feedback via email or phone? Edited July 5, 2018 by _Nomad_
Noelle1 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) I recieved an offer to be wait listed this morning. No other info other than that. I was asked to not contact admissions RE my position on the list. Best of luck to everyone else who is waiting. If you haven't heard back as of yet, i am assuming it's a good thing.

dem13 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I applied to the January 2019 intake for the online part-time program. Starting to worry now I won’t get in, especially if it’s based on experience. I’ve been an LPN for 11 years and have over 12,000 hours in the field, but it’s not necessarily social work stuff I’m doing. Looks like I’m going to have to start looking at a backup plan. _Nomad_ 1

It all depends on who is in your applicant pool. How many spots are they offering for that cohort? Someone wrote 40? Not sure if that's true. I was told September was going to be around 80, but not sure if that was actually the case. Keep staying positive!!! You have experience and it is more related to SW than you think. Most people with non BSW degrees won't have social work experience. Any human service experience will be counted. I think you have a great chance. I think they said the average person who is accepted has over an 80%average and 7/8 years experience. Wishing you luck!!!

Thanks for the positive outlook! wishing you lots of luck as well. Did they give you a time line for getting off the wait list? That’s just more waiting for you now. How stressful!!

It always gets stressful when people here start reporting their rejections. As one of those ppl Im sorry to make your waiting process more stressful? Having a backup plan is always good tho. Wish you best of luck! You have great amount of hours of work related to the SW field! It's human sevices and it's 11 years! It looks for me you have very good chances to get in to the program.
TeaLover17 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 For Lauriers Part- Time Online MSW, I was told that the decisions have been made and you should be able to access it on your loris account. However, I have not been able to see anything on mine. Miljana stated that emails should be coming out today or latest Monday. Good luck to all!

I noticed you applied right out of your undergrad - I will be doing that next year.
Noelle1 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Congrats to everyone who was accepted. So exciting!!! Has anyone heard how many spots there were and how many are on the waitlist? Edited July 6, 2018 by Noelle1

My average was a 95 for my last two years of undergrad and I have around 5000 hours of paid and volunteer experience, as well as experience doing research and writing a thesis! I would advise you to do as much work in the social work field in different areas as much as possible!
julescr11 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Has anyone still not heard anything from Laurier? I saw someone post they may take until Monday and my name starts with R so maybe the end of the alphabet hasn't gone out yet?

I saw someone post they may take until Monday and my name starts with R so maybe the end of the alphabet hasn't gone out yet? I have yet to hear anything either. I was told that all applicants can expect to hear on Monday at the latest. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the way they're informing people as some on here have been rejected, some were accepted, and others have been put on a waitlist. The waiting is difficult and I'm still hopeful but it's hard not to think the worst. Edited July 8, 2018 by Did-I-get-in?
julescr11 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Thanks, that's actually helpful to hear as I was starting to think I missed something on the application after hearing others had received notice last week.
Meg_gray11 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Hi everyone, this is my first time using this forum, and I was looking for someone to answer some questions about Lakehead’s one year hbsw or King’s 2 year msw. I’m starting my applications in September and I’m afraid that my average is dragging me down. I have relevant work and volunteer experience, but my average will be high 70s or low 80s when I submit my application. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it!
Katims Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Anybody else still hanging in there on U of T's waitlist? Klara_kay 1
Did-I-get-in? Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Got an email at 7am this morning that I was accepted to Laurier's online MSW for September! Good luck to those still waiting. dem13 and _Nomad_ 2
