I don't think so since mine was completed on 1/26. This entire waiting process has be really stressful 

@basket_cassWaiting is definitely stressful:(   I'm checking the portal every 30 minutes. Better "being reviewed" than rejected.

Had my Hunter interview yesterday. I think it was very relaxed and informal.  It was a lot more conversational and even a nice brainstorming/lesson rather than a strict, formal interview.  The questions involved: Why Social Work, How would you react if you were placed in an undesirable field placement, what does self awareness mean to you and then 2 scenarios with no right/wrong answer and lastly a writing section which was probably the trickiest part but still straight forward.  If anything, it was hard to go from such a conversational tone to reading and analyzing a scholarly article.

I am still leaning towards NYU as I really appreciate their clinical edge.  And I am enrolled in the working professional program with a decent scholarship so NYU would ultimately be the cheaper option (if I can maintain working FT).

Hope this helps anyone still waiting for an interview date.

Love to hear opinions on Hunter v. NYU for clinical/psychotherapy.

Happy Thursday All

Accepted or not once your status changes it will say FINAL DECISION. If you scroll down there will be a link to a notification. Trust me, I know this is overwhelming but so far Hunter seems to be accepting their MSW candidates so that's a great sign. It is hard not overthink it but you will soon get a decision. If your situation was similar yo most of us who were accepted then my guess is that you'll hear between Thursday- Friday or Monday since your interview was on the 8th. 

Thank you @Gee_ for your support! I just received an email notification that I was accepted!!

I kept calling Juan Santiago until he answered. Told him I didn't have computer access and he checked my account (said it was being reviewed). My status changed within 24 hours of speaking to him.

@Gee_ thank you !! U too! Any recommendation between nyu or Hunter for clinical?

 

yes I am in clinical track @NYCMSW

Definitely a tough decision. Both are great so I cannot really say much. But personally, for me, it came down to price. To be in debt or not to be in debt. That was the question that torture me for months until I sent my deposit to Hunter. @Psychotea have you try creating a comparison chart? Sometimes writing down pro and cons help.

I've interviewed but haven't received a decision, though my application has been updated to "being reviewed".

Less than a day, which I found surprising.

I interviewed for COPD on April 20th and haven't heard back. Also, my account never changed to "Pending Interview" or "Being Reviewed". ??‍♀️
