Hi guys. I applied last year for Fall 2014 for MSW program at CSULB and got rejected :( 

I then got a job as a Child & Family Specialist in SPA 6 and with the experience i've gotten from there I was encouraged to reapply again for Fall 2015 and I have finally been accepted into the 3 year program!!! Got the email on Friday morning. I accepted it as CSULB has been my top choice and I will be attending orientation this upcoming saturday :) 

Don't lose hope guys!

Hi fellow MSW applicants,

I heard from CSULB and was accepted to the MSW 3-year program!!  I've included my timeline below in case anyone is wondering.  Hope it helps! 

 

Feb 16 – I submitted my application to department via walk-in

Mar 17 – Received an e-mail from the School of Social Work confirming they received my application
Apr 10 – Received an MSW 3-year program Admission Offer via e-mail

 

I was given 10 days to make a decision.  CSULB MSW is the only program I applied to, so I eagerly accepted the offer of admission the same day.  I attend New Student Orientation on May 9, and register for classes on May 11.  Congrats to everyone who has been accepted and good luck to those waiting to hear! :)

I made the mistake of looking over my statement of purpose and caught singer awful mistakes,so I emailed Lisa to see if I could send a revised version, and she said I couldn't because it's under review and ive had horrid anxiety since.

Yes, 3-year is my first choice. I currently work in the field and the 3-year program will allow me to keep working throughout. At least in the beginning.

Yay for having your application go through to the reviewal process! Good luck!! Hope you get your answer soon. :)

I applied for 3 year as my first choice as i want to continue working. 

Don't lose hope. I really thought my personal statement was horrible but it got me in. Keep your head up!

I applied to the 2-yr program. It says I'm under pending status. Not sure what that means. Anyone know the likelihood of getting rejected/accepted? And congrats!

That basically means that they won't make a decision until the end of the application cycle. Usually because your application had merit, just not enough to fall under the "admitted right away". Its kinda like a wait list.

I called the department to check the status of my application and they said they dont give status updates :(

She did say that they hope to finish reviewing all the apps in May. Key word HOPE. I can't take this anymore :( I'm wondering if I should just go back to USC

Don't lose hope! How many programs did you apply to? Honestly that debt is not worth it. There are additional things you can do to help you if you decide to reapply.

At the new student orientation today they confirmed that not everyone has been admitted to the program yet. They're still sifting through applications. :)

Woohoo thanks for the notice!

Got this email today-

Your MSW application is currently under review by our faculty. You should receive an email from the CHHS-SW@csulb.edu email account once the evaluation is complete. We are hoping to have the bulk of the decisions by the end of this month; however, given the volume of applications we received, it may take a bit longer.

Thank you for your patience during this process.

Regards,

received an email today that my status is pending and I will have to wait until July to have a final response. Not sure how to feel about this. Just staying positive and praying

Thats rough. I guess they don't care about the other arrangements we have to make(jobs, apply for scholarships, relocation, etc) in order to go to grad school

Hello all,

I applied to CSULB Jan 11. I received the pending status email on March 30th and have been ever since. So that 5 months in total. I know calling is pointless but I'm getting pretty irritated with just waiting. I was accepted to CSUF; however, CSULB is my first choice. But because I have to submit my acceptance to CSUF by May 27th, I don't want to risk not having any school, so I am choosing to play it safe than sorry, and go with CSUF. I did my undergrad there and had an amazing educational experience. So i am excited :) good luck to all!
