I wish everybody the best of luck! If I can get in you all can. Right now I have received my official UNC letter of admission and am just waiting to have the fellowship paperwork drafted (although I had an email confirmation that I will be getting it). It's not really going to feel real until I get that fellowship paperwork.
-
The financial package seems on par with what you would get at many other schools but it will be for three years, which I'm excited about! I'm just waiting on official paperwork at this point.

Congratulations on your interview!! That's great news!! Let us know how it goes
-
So I just got a verbal acceptance to UNC!! Paperwork is pending but I spoke with a professor and have been offered a fellowship. I can't believe it and am completely in shock!! I honestly almost did not apply because I assumed I would not get in.
-
I have not! Most of my official deadlines were not until January 15, 2017 so I'm not expecting anything until February even though I've turned in all of my applications. Arghh it's so hard to wait though!

@Ggsk I sent my application in on Tuesday! I'm nervous but honestly I do not expect to get in. They are heavily, heavily research focused and my post graduate experience has been in direct practice, so all my research is super old. Still, I liked the MSW program and have been in contact with a professor with similar research interests so it can't hurt to apply. VCU: Virginia commonwealth university So I looked at schools in the southeast only because my parents are getting old and I don't want to be too far away from them just in case something happens, but all the schools I applied to have faculty members with similar research interests. I made sure to reach out to at least one person per school and have visited schools when possible.

So you're not submitting for USC's priority deadline on Dec 1st? And you're right, I should have studied and retaken it, but work is too demanding. But let's be hopeful! I also plan to visit UW too but the visit was after the app deadline so I submitted it. On lord you just scared me to death. I meant the University of South Carolina's program- the name gets confusing! Can't really call it USC or Carolina because those names are taken

Welcome!! So nice to hear from somebody else My scores are also not the best so no worries. I probably should have retaken it for the math but it was what I could manage at this moment with balancing the work demands of my job. Right now I keep polishing and repolishing my personal statement and writing sample and am planning to submit everything to UNC and USC this weekend. VCU's application is not due until February and I have a visit planned so I'm going to wait to submit until after that just in case I learn some information about the program that would be helpful to include in my application.

Haha, it hasn't been so bad! Applications aren't due until January but I'm trying to get mine in in December. I've almost finished my personal statement and have identified LOR, so what's left is to send in my scores and complete the actual online portion of the applications.

Hi all! I'm a hopeful applicant for PhD programs for Fall 2017 in social work. Thought I'd start this thread to see who else is in the same boat! A little background: I graduated from UNC's MSW program in 2013 and have been working as an outpatient clinician since this time. I'm EMDR and intensively DBT trained and am licensed in clinical social work and substance abuse and my research interests are primarily in the field of substance abuse and trauma. I'm looking around for schools in the southeast due to some family reasons but am open to other programs that would be a good fit with my interests. Just took the GRE yesterday and got a Verbal: 162 Quant: 152. Pretty mediocre but hopefully acceptable somewhere!! SO far I'm thinking UGA, UNC, VCU, University of Maryland
