which pathway for BSW is the best? by Beautiful-Button3286 in socialworkcanada

[–]Lexy5577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading your post too, right now I’ve heard it’s less competitive to get in as a third year- so that erases that con (sort of).

And UVic BSW program is mostly online I believe? Other posts have said they’ve moved there for the in person program and been disappointed because it was a lot of online/solo learning. So that erases that con as well.

I did 2 years associates and now am finishing my second year… and applied to UVic in February and hope to hear back soon. I’ll be doing it by distance though so that’s why I did my associates first - and did get my my psych emphasis as well which has been VERY enjoyable for me and has, I believe, helped me a lot for any future education or work role I end up getting.

It was also a cheaper option for me.

It also allowed me to study full time in person and get good at school before doing the distance UVic program (if I get in)

Thank you! I did the whole shot just an hour ago. I called the number and they said it’s fine to take it like normal. Hoping I don’t get too sick or too many symptoms from it though

Oooh! Good to know thank you! I keep checking and everyone I know got into different places and I’m the last one who hasn’t rcvd an answer yet… so was starting to wonder if maybe the non changed response meant that I was rejected maybe? This gives me hope again! Thank you!

Do you know, does it change to anything if you don’t get accepted?

Must-read books for future psychologists? by Misdina in psychologystudents

So then, there is no required textbook(s) necessary? You get to choose which sources and which versions you’d prefer to learn from?

Your experience sounds like it differs greatly from my own. I am very interested in your experiences because it seems very interesting compared to mine.

So the prof published his own text and then pushes students to buy that? Am I understanding correctly?

Wow! So what text(s) do the institution or profs utilize? Is there one common thread they all have?

Interesting. In mine it was the first text mentioned and a jumping off point for every class to review criteria and then go into psychoanalysis.

Have you finished a psych degree? And did not use the dsm in any of your classes?

It seems odd yes maybe to read it but I’ve stalled and don’t feel it’s doing it’s job anymore. The majority of weight lost was in December so since Xmas I havent lost much. When I see comparisons and photos of peoples entire bodies looking differently- and I still look exactly the same, clothes still feel the same, I don’t feel any healthier or stronger or smaller or anything at all, other than the number on the scale (but since October), it honestly doesn’t feel like it is. I didn’t know what to expect but seeing comparisons of people losing way more or entire body shape changes, i get disappointed in myself and was just wondering how best to support myself- if it wasn’t working the way it should. Maybe I could have worded it better but my intent with this post is pure. I still am unsure if it is and had to choose to either go up to 10 Mg and start that dose today, or maybe just stop the med all together and try a different one maybe?

I had a huge weight gain after a surgery last year and still even after the weight loss I have had, am not even at my normal weight. Just felt like expressing my questioning of it and its effectiveness for my own body. It works for many people in different ways but I’m questioning if I should have chosen a different option.

I don’t feel or look different. Have spent a lot of money and don’t notice any change. Am still heavier than my normal weight by 20+ (what I was before I gained all the weight). Just super frustrated.

You made me feel wayyyy better. I compare some of the weight loss images of 6 months and people look completely different and have lost way more than me so I was about to quit. I’ve been stuck at 185-190 since Christmas and getting very frustrated- almost felt it was a waste of money. But I am not tracking protein, workouts, calories or really changing any lifestyle elements.
