\nHello Askastudent,
\n?
\nI’ve recently applied to the MSW program at U of T.? I feel like I have a strong application *except*<\/strong> for my gpa.? It falls below the minimum requirement.? Do U of T admissions committees routinely discard applications falling below minimum without reviewing it?? I guess this happens in other programs that are more concrete in numbers like the maths and sciences. I am hoping that being a ‘people’ profession that Social Work will consider all aspects of the application even though one part may be weak.?
\n?
\nIs this wishful thinking on my part??
\n?
\nThank You! Any insight would be appreciated.<\/div>\n

Hey there,<\/p>\n

Yes, it is wishful thinking but not tooootally crazy. They will consider your application as a whole, but generally graduate programs are rather competitive. Admission requirements can vary from year to year depending on the applicant pool. So logically it could be a less competitive year and you may be admitted, but generally it’s the reverse. I like links, so here’s <\/a>the current admission requirements.<\/p>\n

I would always apply just in case, you never know.<\/p>\n

warmth and waterproof boots,<\/p>\n
