dcruz50 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Just got accepted into CSULA and CSUF on the same day (3/17/16). CSULA's letter came through the mail and I received an email from CSUF. I'm still waiting on CSULB and CSUN. SekaiDenise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SekaiDenise Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I applied to csula, csudh, and csulb..I applied for advanced standing for csulb and csula (their first year doing this). And the two year for csudh. Csulb has waitlisted me. I received email for interview for csula, which is where I am a current bsw student. I interviewed for csula advanced standing on March 3rd, haven't heard anything back yet. I would love to stay at csula, but I will attend whichever school is meant for me. I have minimal volunteer hours, 4 years working in human services related fields and a 3.52 overall gpa.

I've applied to the same schools as you but for the two year programs. Initially CSULB was my first choice, but the more I read about CSULA it's making me second guess that.

SekaiDenise Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi Ginabina, I like it alot, the campus is cool, parking is a nightmare though, they jist opened an off campus lot with cheaper parking and a shuttle to campus. I love the faculty, I've only had one teacher that I didn't like and it was for a theme class. Social work faculty are really dedicated to their students' success.

ginabina Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 I emailed the admissions coordinator at CSULA and she said they still have a ways to go with applications. She said she suspects letters will be going out as late as early June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a provisional acceptance to Cal State La's MSW program on Feb 7th. I submitted my packet to them on Dec 4. They mailed me paper work to fax back to them that included a Letter of Intent and Statement of Commitment to the program. Additionally, I had to submit the field placement paper work to one of their offices which I did on Feb 26th. My acceptance was provisional because they needed to see my grades from last semester, which was my last semester of undergrad. Finally, I received an acceptance email from Cal State LA's MSW program this morning at 5am! My GPA is a 3.82. I'm still waiting to hear back from UCLA! Good luck everyone. Did you apply for the one year or two year program at csula? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing people applying for the one year program won't have to wait as long as the people applying for the 2 year program. Hopefully, you will hear soon. When did you submit your application to CSUDH? Did they send you anything prior to your acceptance? I got my Bachelors from CSUDH and I really liked the school, so while it isn't my first choice, I would be happy to keep going there.

redtaz Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I submitted my application to CSULA on January 13, 2016, got my provisional acceptance letter in the mail on March 7 and submitted all the documents required on March 16. All i'm waiting for now is for my GPA to be verified, was told this could take several weeks though because of Finals and Break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobatime2002 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I had my interview at CSUF on 3/24 and it was pretty short. Just very basic questions like what made you decide to apply to CSUF for the MSW program and what potential groups would be hardest for you to work with? They only asked seven questions. I asked them like ten in return but I think they already kind of know who they want because they dont really spend much time on the interviews or seem all that interested in responding to your questions. I have a masters in counseling, 3.72 GPA, quite a bit of volunteer experience in the field of Geriatrics. Haven't heard anything back in like almost two weeks. I emailed them the day after thanking them for the interview and asking when approximately would I hear back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csufmsw Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi boba time! I had my interview at Csuf on 3/23 i just got the email yesterday, saying that I am admitted to the program. I did notice however, that I was able to accept on my portal the night before. I just kept checking and checking. Fingers crossed for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read with other applicants, it typically takes them two weeks after the interview to get back to you with a decision. You're almost there!!

Bobatime2002 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I asked them some the following: What is their expertise in social work? How do they relax and do self-care? (Our interview seemed to cover that topic somehow so I decided to ask them how they do it) What do they imagine for the future of the program at CSUF and their role. (Duan Tran for example is no longer the admissions coordinator but is taking on different opportunities now) What excites them about coming to work at CSUf everyday? And a few others.

MSWinmyfuture Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I had my interview yesterday with CSUF. I was really confident walking out of the interview, I thought it went REALLY well. Also, I got a rejection from CSULB today (which I was kind of expecting given my lack of experience). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobatime2002 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 That sounds pretty good. How long was the interview and what did they ask you? Did you ask them when you would find out about their decision? Good luck :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I was never put on a pending status just got a rejection. Every time I checked through the portal, it said that it was in departmental review until I got an email about the rejection.

They told me that they will be letting people know up until mid May. Also, in my acceptance email, it said I needed to respond by April 18. So maybe they tell people in separate batches? I'm not sure. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rilotta Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Hi all! So I just got my acceptance to CSUDH on Monday (April 11), and I heard from CSULB way back in January that I had been wait listed. Still waiting to hear if I will be accepted. Are they seriously going to make us wait until July?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
