thank you for your advice! still up in the air about my decision ugh!

just re checked this morning. I got in! after less than 48 hrs after my interview. Not sure what to do now cause I was already set on Columbia but Hunter is great too..

hmm nothing there yet

I interviewed yesterday but the status on my application was changed to final decision but I can't figure out how to see the decision?

Hi I just had my interview at Hunter for the 2 year clinical MSW track. I am a little nervous about how the interview went because most of the other interviewees were applying of the OYR program which requires you to have worked in social services for 2 years at least. The first question was to introduce ourselves and describe our experiences that relate to social work and how that led us to want to get this degree. I felt a little stupid with my answer because she asked what we are currently doing and I am nannying to save up money for school. The OYR people had all of this great experience in social services and had much better answers about social work. The woman also came back at us asking follow up questions on our experiences. The first question took about an hour because there were 8 of us. The next question was what is our social identity and how will that translate to our clients. I got skipped over for this question bc of time so I hope that doesn't hurt me. The third question was a vignette about doing weekly home visits and then one day this person cooks you a meal and sets the table for two. We were not asked what we would do but what would be our thought processes and what would be our concerns in making the decision whether to stay or not. Next we had a writing assignment on an article that talked about hunger and obesity in NYC and how a hunger coalition has made a plan for the next mayor to possibly put into place to race food workers wages, provide school breakfast and basically fix the hunger issues. We had to write one paragraph on the social implications of this article. We had 20 minutes but it took me less than ten. I'm nervous about how I did but I don't think they will compare me to the others because we aren't going for the same program. I'm also thinking bc they're still interviewing in May there might still be open spots. We'll see.
