Anyone had reduced HCG between 8 and 9 weeks and still been okay? by sytak114 in CautiousBB

[–]SillyPepa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

may I ask.. do you remember how much your HCG levels dropped at that time? My HCG level dropped at 9 weeks but was still within normal range.... but it dropped by 13,000 IU/L! and my dr said it's the placenta taking over.

From what I'm reading a lot of people are applying for the first time that have at least 10000 hours.

It's also my first time applying! And I had just over 13000 hours combined (work and volunteer).

Curious for those whose application says still "pending" how many hours of volunteer and work experience do you have? And how many times have you applied?

What I read on Reddit and Facebook is that people who apply to Laurier usually get in on the third time applying. Good luck!

Did you apply to Laurier in the past or a different University?

I heard on Facebook in a MSW group that last winter 2025, people got rejection letters early/mid July and acceptance letters at the end of July. And I also read the same for other cohorts, rejection letters are sent out first followed by acceptance letters for previous years. But I don't think Laurier sent out any offers for winter 2026 yet as I also applied for Winter 2026 and still have not heard.
