  1. My decision was between UCLA and UC Berkeley. I chose Berkeley for many reasons, but the most important was the support I would have with my kids from family, Berkeley's student parent community, and student parent grant. UCLA has some resources but doesn't compare to Berkeley's. As a mother of two, I know I am going to need a strong support system to get through grad school and make the most out of my experience.
  2. Never mind. I was able to create it. Please look up UC Berkeley MSW Class of 2019
  3. Great! I'll start by creating a group for all MSW students when I get home tonight. Can't wait to meet you all!
  4. I haven't found a FB group yet. If one hasn't been created yet, I'll start one myself. I'm in the health concentration. Let me know!!
  5. I'm curious if you ended up negotiating. I'm currently trying to figure out funding.
  6. I'm actually considering UCLA. They might give me all the funding I need for the 2 years! I'm hoping to know for sure this week, but I can't deny it will sting a little to say no to Berkeley.
  7. Ugh, I'm so anxious to figure out funding! I'll see what I can find out on Thursday and share. Have you officially accepted UCLA?
  8. Have any of you received a CalSWEC application? Who is planning to attend the event next week?
  9. Any advice on negotiating funding? I never knew this was negotiable and don't know if this is done with Financial Aid, Major Dept, or Grad Admission. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
  10. Thanks! My degree focus is Social Welfare. All I need is the funding and I'll accept UCLA. Anxiously waiting......................
  11. I'm still freaking out about this fellowship! No official word yet on my nomination. That's all I need to accept.
  12. Hello, When were you notified of the fellowship? I was notified of my nomination last week but nothing official from the Grad Division yet.
  13. Hello, I received word of my nomination yesterday. I have no idea if I should start celebrating yet. Are nominations from each dept. sent to the graduate division just for final approval or have you heard of anyone being nominated and not getting the fellowship?
