I walked in my app on 1-6.  Anyone out there got an interview appointment yet?

Hi to those future social workers that applied for the Ventura cohort!

Hi Dlong12---I turned in my application for the off campus cohort and patiently waiting for a acceptance letter. 

Anyone else applied for the off campus or online cohort, lets keep each other updated?

Best of luck to all of you this year!!!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your GPA --Dlong12

I hope that we all get accepted, I feel that this was the Best option because I know that it is super competitive for the on campus cohort :(

Julie Garcia is awesome and very helpful, she's a Gem!

But I do hope that they conduct interviews so that they can get a better understanding from us as interested students wanting to become social workers.

Hi Everyone---Received an email invitation yesterday to attend a group interview for next week sometime.  We were asked to choose our top three date/time preferences out of several listed for the week.  I RSVP'd today.  Best wishes to all!!

I received an email invitation yesterday too , but already accepted Cal State LA's offer for the 1 year advanced standing MSW program. :/. I feel like they really took their time looking over all applicants. Good Luck to all of you!

Hi everyone! I receive an acceptance letter this week along with CSUSB. I now have to decide between the two but I'm leaning towards CSUN because I like that the program is full-time and only two years compared to CSUSB 3 year program. Good luck to all of you!

Does anyone know what the online program interviews are like ? I don't really know anyone who's applied to a masters program online before.

I don't know if you already did the interview but it wasn't too hard. They ask you what would you do if you weren't going to become a social worker. They also asked everyone one random question, the only one's I remember is given current events, what's something you would change to help our society? and What's something that you have the privilege of having that others don't? Then you do a group scenario, ours was what program you would cut out of 8 because of budget cuts. They also ask you to give one example (work or personal) on why urban social work practice would be a good program for you. Lastly, they do a written portion asking about how the interview was and if you wanted to add anything. I don't think the written portion has much weight to it. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

I interviewed on March 6th and received my acceptance email on March 20th, so you might have to wait a couple more weeks. Hope you hear good news soon, waiting is the hardest part. Good luck!

Has anyone done an online (skype or similar) interview with CSUN? I am in the process of scheduling one and am curious how similar or different it is with the in person interview? 

I think it is more laid back than an in person interview. I wrote about it here:

Hello everyone ! Good to hear some of us are already hearing back. I submitted my application on January 6, 2017.

 

I completed the interview on March 20,2017 and just really wanting to know. This is my top choice of program. I also  applied to CSUB.

 

Just a little about me .

 

3 years of experience as a case manager, bilingual in English and Spanish, I'm a male, and graduated from CSUN in 2014. I'm hoping to get into the CSUN full time on campus program.

 

Best of luck everyone!

Hey everyone, I submitted my application January 10. I haven't heard anything back yet. No interview, no anything. I am kind of freaking out.
