I think in the documents it says that we will not be getting paper acceptances everything is going to be online.

I received my CSULB acceptance e-mail today!

I received an email stating I am a recipient of the MSW Scholarship my award is $30,000. I also received the USC Deans Leadership scholarship application e-mail so I will definitely be applying! I need all the funding I can get!!

Hi everyone so I received the email with my acceptance letter! I'm beyond ecstatic Good luck to everyone else I hope you guys get in as well!!

I just got off the phone and she didn't give me an answer all she said was "You will probably be getting a couple e-mails" I said "So does this mean I got in?" and she said "You'll have to wait for more emails" I'M DYING!!!! Literally in tears rn.

UPDATE: I JUST RECEIVED AN EMAIL WITH THE HEADLINE "Welcome to the USC School of Social Work" STATING: This letter serves as a notification of your ‘Lacking Degree Verification’ hold. At the time of your admission, your official transcript did not reflect completion of your bachelor’s degree.In order to continue in the MSW program, you will need to submit an official transcript that confirms the completion of your bachelor’s degree. The deadline to submit your official transcript to the University Degree Progress Office is Monday, August 22th, 2016. Failure to meet this deadline may result in withdrawal from the MSW program. IDK IF THIS MEANS I GOT IN?!!!

I sent my packet in on Jan. 4th. On Jan. 12th I got this emailed: I am writing to inform you that we have forwarded your application to the graduate department of your intended major for a final review. Departments generally review applications after the program application deadline and make decisions within 4 to 6 weeks after the deadline date. No word back yet.

Hi everyone! Still no word So I sent my application in for the priority deadline which I think was Dec. 7th. On January 5th I received an e-mail stating it was under faculty review. That is all. According to last year's USC hopefuls people began getting acceptance e-mails in late January, but we're already entering Feb. so I think we should know in a matter of weeks!

I also want to know your stats, I see you were accepted to USC. I just applied so just wondering.

Same I'm really interested in a career as a medical/healthcare social worker.

Congrats! That was a really quick response, you seem like everything they are looking for in a MSW candidate! I applied for the Integrated Health Concentration, but my experience has been with foster children. I submitted 3 strong LOCs. Hoping I get in!!

I'm also hoping to get scholarships! The lady at the info session said the earlier you apply the better chance you have at getting scholarships and financial aid. If I don't get any I'm just going to take out loans and then go the public service loan forgiveness route. What area of study or concentration did you all want to do?

Double major-Sociology & Social Policy and Public Service 3.586 GPA Cumulative, 3.567 GPA for Sociology, 3.692 GPA for SPPS 6 months interning with 2-1-1 OC (helps people connect to social services in the community) 8 months interning with a foster care agency I submitted 3 recommendations: one from the CEO of the foster care agency, a social worker, and a professor. I'm dying from the anticipation, this is my dream school so I'm going to be pretty bummed if I don't get in :/ I applied for priority deadline so I think it was around December 3rd or something. Also, when I went to an info meeting the lady said that USC uses your highest GPA possible so if your major GPA is higher than your cumulative they will use that highest one. Oh and I've been stalking usc msw hastags on IG to see when people got their acceptance letters and the soonest one I saw was dated around Feb 20th.....

Hi! Just wondering who else applied for their MSW at USC I'm currently waiting to hear back! I did the priority deadline so hopefully I get an answer by February.
