You'll find out this or next week.

I don't think its more competitive than sjsu. They have the same class size if not off by 20. It all depends now if those who were offered early admission follow through with their intent to attend. If not, it'll open more spots.

A friend of mine graduated last year with her msw from east bay. She said it was okay and didn't really have great things to say about it. Just lots of work in a small period of time. It was her back up school and since she attended there she obviously didn't get into the other schools she applied to. As for job wise, it also had an impact on her employment search from what she said. She said the more "desirable employer" were more prone to hiring someone from a more "prestige" school since she applied for jobs where more Berkeley, sfsu, and usc graduates attended but I'm sure there is more to it. She had a 4.0 so I really don't know. Good luck with your apps.

I had a problem with one of my LOR and had to submit everything 2 days before the deadline. I had a backup LOR but held off submitting it since the one I wanted to submit had a phd in SW.

We'll see soon enough. I'm hoping people who had early admission applied elsewhere and backed out on their intent to attend East Bay.

I called the dept and asked. Are they your first choice?

Just an update to those who applied to CSUEB. They are NOT doing rolling admission this year. Those who were given and accepted early admission for 2014 in 2013 took up most of the spots and any open seats are given to top applicants. Sucks for those who applied early.

I chose CSUs to be cost effective as one of my reasons. I'm sure they'll be just as great as UCs and any other private schools. I'm also applying to programs in SoCal but not sure which... I kind of jumped the gun applying to the ones I mentioned above... Shouldn't have applied so fast... Applying cost a lot of money and I'm not even done yet. Not enough confidence of getting in so I also applied to "back up" schools just in case lol.

Have any of you applied to the MSW programs in California? I just submitted my apps through csumentor to: SFSU SJSU CSUEB CSU Stanislaus CSU Sacramento more pending just dont know where yet.

I heard csueb was "good, not bad" from someone I knew who attended... not much of a feedback but yeah... Thats all I got for you lol. Good luck on your decision

I saw it on the sfsu thread and was wondering if it was the same for sjsu

Not sure if this applies but I read in another thread that those that received the FA on their to do list all got in despite being told from the dept they are not part of what FA does. Seems like those here on this thread received the FA in their to do list and also got in before they received admission. Was there anyone in here who got admitted but did NOT get a FA in their to do list?

Hey Sassa, have you decided which school you'll be going to?

Congrats, that was quite fast just by submitting a missing doc. They may already have finished reviewing all the apps and are now trying to see who gets priority.
