adlr753 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hello all, I applied to UCLA for their MSW program for this upcoming Fall and am going up the walls wondering whether I got in. Because I applied for their fellowships, I applied back in December. It's been nearly 3 months! Anyone hear back yet? Anyone know when acceptance/rejection letters come in? Thanks!

robin21 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I was glad you posted this, as I'm in a similar situation (didn't apply for fellowship consideration, though). I've been checking this forum, but it looks like no one else has anything new to add in regards to UCLA? I'm still waiting, too. Best of luck.

Red Rock Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think last year's forum showed that UCLA gave out acceptances past April 15th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rock Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I think last year's forum showed that UCLA gave out acceptances past April 15th? Replying to myself because I actually just heard back from UCLA. I'm IN! I didn't apply for the fellowship deadline (Again, applied on the last day possible!) so that sucks, but I'll get in-state tuition. Think this might be the best bang for the buck option! Hurrah!

robin21 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 oh, I didn't realize that they were going to send out a letter first. Maybe only those accepted received a letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessadub Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 congrats to red rock! ok, I can't stop freaking out. I want to know all my options and I am waiting on pins and needles to see what schools I am accepted to. I applied to UCLA and I want to know if I've been accepted..... AAAAAh. I was so calm this weekend, but today I'm having a "too much coffee" spring forward monday morning freak out. Talked to admissions by phone. Decisions are being made right now and applicants should know by the end of the month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupojoe Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Question: Have most people already taken the required statistics course? Have you ever heard of someone being rejected or not admitted until the course has been completed? I'm currently taking it and got an email from UCLA last week asking for the transcript once I complete it (in 3 weeks). I sent them an email explaining that it was still in progress but would be completed soon and I haven't heard anything since. Are they only accepting people who have completed this prereq, or are they waiting to see my grade before they make a desicion? Anybody have any thoughts? Very nervous....

adlr753 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hmmm, I thought I'd answer since I started this thread. I'll answer about my personal experience. I did take a year and a half of Stats. Regarding the decision to reject based on the lack of a Stats course, I am unsure. Good luck, though!!!

nessadub Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm bumping this up. Has anyone gotten any letters? All quiet here. No info yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryven64 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi, I'm in the same boat too! I applied for the fellowship back in December and have yet to receive official notification...Yesterday I checked my app status online, and it said that I was missing one of my references. Once I got a chance to talk to them about that, they told me that my app was complete and that they're drafting up an acceptance letter at the moment...maybe they notify the fellowship applicants later?? :/?

adlr753 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi Nessadub, I'm a little confused. Did you say you were accepted to the program? If so, congrats! Also, to be clear did you apply to the fellowship? If so, how did you find out before the 31st? Thanks...I just hate all this waiting. It's driving me up the walls! -adlr753 Called this morning.

nessadub Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 adler. I was accepted by asking on the phone. I also got a letter in the post yesterday which was postmarked 3/22/2010.. Apparently the fellowship process is separate. The school nominates you for fellowship if you applied, but another entity (grad division?) chooses. Then they tell the school. The school is supposed to hear on 3/31/2010. I'm calling on that day to see if I was one of the lucky ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csmilington Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi, I just got accepted via mail today to UCLA's MSW program! Yay! Congrats to everyone who has been accepted, and good luck to those who are still waiting to hear. I was wondering if anyone has discovered and used a good scholarship website to apply for various scholarships? Some of the ones i've looked at online seem pretty random. I'd love to hear any suggestions or experiences you might have regarding solid scholarship sites. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiredofwaiting923 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) to anyone who hasn't received any news from UCLA yet, I feel your painnn. I haven't heard back from ANY of my schools yet, which makes the waiting so much worse. I hope I'm not on the rejection pile!
