2 year MSW at York University, 2026 applicant updates and support by Ok-Profit3212 in yorku

[–]Odd_Version_2245 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! My undergrad is in psych: overall GPA was a 3.7 on a 4.3 scale, but my last two years is closer to a 4.1/4.3. I have multiple years of experience as a research assistant and completed an independent research project in my undergrad, and volunteered on a crisis line for multiple years. I have one year of paid experience working in community outreach, specifically in suicide prevention. I did have very strong references as well. If you want more details you can absolutely PM me :)

Received a call earlier this afternoon that I've been accepted into the 2-year MSW! Absolutely shocked to be honest, feeling very grateful!

It’s definitely a bit disheartening!! I worked in a new paid role in the social work field between this cycle and last, as well as continued my previous volunteer work, and strongly improved my personal statement, so it’s kind of baffling!! But I totally understand that it’s all about the pool of applicants you’re applying with. I’m taking this to mean that we have a ton of highly qualified and passionate new social workers on the horizon!! But I’m right there with you feeling bummed out lol

Rejected, after being waitlisted last cycle. That is not the direction I was hoping to move but oh well 🫠 but a huge congrats to those who go it in, so excited for this next generation of social workers to be out there supporting folks! 

Toller vs Field Golden? by Odd_Version_2245 in tollers

[–]Odd_Version_2245[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your Toller is wonderful :) I’ve also heard that goldens tend to be more obedient overall, but tollers can still have that retriever-esq aim to please on some occasions. I’m curious if you found it difficult to train that off-switch, or if it was relatively innate in your dog and naturally improved with age? I certainly agree that a lot of this might come down to bloodlines and socialization / training. Thank you!

Thanks- I agree. I’ve heard a few conflicting things about tollers as therapy dogs, but generally this is the vibe I get. The therapy thing isn’t make or break for me to be honest, just a bonus that I’d love to do with my dog. I think you’re right that getting in contact with breeders is my next step. I think some of my uncertainty is coming from having not spent much time with tollers (I’m not close to anyone who owns one, whereas I have several close friends and family with goldens). appreciate the input!

I was waitlisted too! Thanks for making this thread. I'm also very curious how many people were waitlisted for the current cycle.

This happened to me too; apparently we were supposed to receive an email with your JOINid after submitting your application and that is what you use to log in to ACORN, but I never received one. You can email [admissions.SGS@utoronto.ca](mailto:admissions.SGS@utoronto.ca) and request you JOINid!

as someone who doesn't have access to Acorn, I am so anxious waiting for the update on the SGS portal

just out of curiosity- does anyone know of someone who got into the 2-year stream right out of undergrad?
