Each year the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work receives many more qualified applications than spaces available in the programs. Having the minimum admission requirements does not in itself guarantee admission to the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work. The Faculty reserves the right to select the most qualified applicants. All decisions are final.
