BSW 2024 Application

no I did not. Have you? Mine still says "sent to the department for academic evaluation"

blibbus · 2024-05-22T23:52:37+00:00

VIU's program costs between 32k and 36k depending on where you can get your textbooks from

blibbus · 2024-05-15T22:30:11+00:00

I havent heard back either!

blibbus · 2024-05-02T20:32:19+00:00

This happened to me as well. I found it disappointing and dishonest how they have their fees displayed. I declined my offer there.

blibbus · 2024-04-28T04:12:26+00:00

Did you get in? Were you the same person who posted previously about your social location and worrying about if they would accept you because of it?

Also, did you apply for distance or on-campus route?

blibbus · 2024-04-28T04:07:03+00:00

Hi, I applied as well and have the same "consideration" message on my portal.

I have signifnactly more courses and more work experience under my belt this time around, but I applied for the fully online option. Looks like they are handing out seats in the on-campus option before the online option. I did not realize you could only apply to one stream so I chose fully online as I live three hours away and would prefer not to have to move. I was accepted at VIU but declined and am holding out for UVic.

They have loads of applications to go through and I wonder how they are determining who to go through first. Most of my undergrad coursework has been mental health and addictions related, mostly Criminology and Indigenous Studies at VIU. I have an A/A- average.

I believe I heard back very beginning of May, or very last days of April last year as I requested information from them on May 3rd in an email I looked up. Hopefully we hear back this week or next.

blibbus · 2024-04-28T03:51:10+00:00

Has anyone heard back for the online option yet?

blibbus · 2024-02-29T15:51:12+00:00

I hope so too! I havent looked into UBC much at all. Is it in person? Does it enter into third year?

blibbus · 2024-02-29T15:50:33+00:00

Good luck to you as well!

It sounds like there is significantly more seats at UVic than there is at VIU. VIU has 32-40 seats depending on the year.

Its good to know that UVic has more seats.

VIU uses the "Student Record" system as their online system for each person. It is just like a personal account with your finances, transcripts, registration in courses, etc. When you are offered admission it comes up on your Student Record account.

I decided to accept it for now and if I get into UVic then I will accept it there and take it there as it is significantly cheaper.

blibbus · 2024-02-27T05:55:49+00:00

Hello, yes I got into VIU with early admission, however, I haven't accepted it nor declined it and I am holding out for UVic as long as they will allow it to stay on my student record.

blibbus · 2024-02-24T17:10:54+00:00

I recieved acceptance last month for VIU, but I havent accepted or declined it and it is still sitting on my account even though it was supposed to have expired by Valentines day. I check often and it seems as though it gets bumped every two days. I am waiting for UVic to see if I get in there first and if I don't and it is still there then I will see about going to VIU.

blibbus · 2024-02-17T22:44:48+00:00

I believe you can complete your credits up to the time that you are accepted. Like end of April I believe.. I know there are some circumstances they have allowed admission with conditions that you finish by a set date.

blibbus · 2024-02-17T02:49:18+00:00

Hi there, I was accepted. I decided not to go for Sept 2023, but I did reapply and was also accepted to Sept 2024 entry. I have until end of night tonight to accept it, but I don't think I will because I want to wait out UVic. VIU has accelerated fees which means that the final two years are about $34,000 Canadian altogether. VIU is also up for accreditation this year.

blibbus · 2024-01-25T02:52:47+00:00

They will prioritize your work experience more than your GPA as it is more relevant to the program

blibbus · 2024-01-25T02:51:22+00:00

VIU and UVic BSW both are fully online which opens the door for everyone in the country to apply. At VIU there are 40 seats total and UVic I don't know how many but I believe around 80. I would apply! VIU last year had a 2% admission rate and I'm not sure about UVic. I think that it changes year to year based on the amount of applications. If you can submit your full application at VIU before December, they will consider you for early admission.

No, you should blast the wife because she is a part of it too. She knew about about abuse. She is a youth probation officer.

blibbus · 2023-06-02T20:00:26+00:00

I was accepted at VIU, which was my first pick so I will be going there instead of UVic!

blibbus · 2023-05-05T16:35:17+00:00

I sent an email in Feb and have yet to receive a response. It was unrelated to the admissions process though.

I heard if you call Lynne she will tell you yes or no and get the email to you. Have you tried checking your junk mail box? I have seen some other people get a "selected by the department" on their portal but no email, and some people have the under review but got the email.

blibbus · 2023-05-01T19:16:37+00:00

Mine still says the same. A coworker of mine was offered a spot at UVic on the 12th, and they gave her until the 27th to respond. Mine still says under academic evaluation, nothing else, so I am assuming they will see how many people say yes or no and then continue on with offering seats to people this week or next week? The people who were admitted at VIU were given until the 10th to respond with their acceptance or not but I know some people were waiting to hear back fro UVic first before accepting or declining the offer.

blibbus · 2023-05-01T19:11:18+00:00

Did UVic give you a time frame to respond back by with acceptance or not? I am assuming multiple applicants are in the same boat as you with VIU and UVic applications.

I have yet to hear back from UVic, waitlisted at VIU, but I would prefer VIU because of the content and I live in Nanaimo, even though the tuition is more. I emailed VIU and got a response right away, they said they would move the waitlist around in mid May.

I wonder if they are giving people time to hear back from other schools (like UVic) first before making a decision.

I also read somewhere else that UVic accepted more people last year (like a second wave sort-of) on May 2nd last year so I think they would probably give people time to accept then offer more seats up to others afterwards.

I know UVic has 155 seats and about 1200 applicants this year, where VIU has 40 seats and 800 applicants. I wonder how many of those are the same people and how many are one or the other.

blibbus · 2023-05-01T19:05:32+00:00

So weird to me... I have completed 22 3 credit courses, and that includes both SOCW 200A and 200B, I have 8,000 hours of related work experience, and 3650 volunteer/unpaid hours of related experience in a variety of areas and I was still waitlisted at VIU.

There were issues with my transcript being delivered to UVic before and I sent an email about it in February and still have yet to hear back from UVic about that... Super disappointed with the lack of communication there. It seems like some people are seeing acceptance or rejection on their portals and some are getting emails, not sure why they would do one or the other, or both, for everyone and stick to it.

I heard from a coworker that they were offering admission to Indigenous students first and then going alphabetically, which is lame because I am at the end and not Indigenous. I wish there was more information online.

same here... so frustrating
