Congrats!! SDSU is also my first choice... but I didn't submit as early as I wished.

When did you submit your app?

What should I expect in the title iv-e interview??

Don't be discouraged! I had a very low cumulative GPA but I had to make up for with a strong personal statement and rec's (especially if you do have experience in social work). Some places are really strict about though but I think it's worth a try.

UCB - will notify week of March 18. Still waiting on CSULB, SDSU, SJSU. SDSU - should receive letter sometime in March? SJSU - I'm guessing May. CSULB - their deadline was last week so I won't expect to hear from them anytime soon. SFSU - heard back but only for Title IV-E program interview... does that mean I'm in? I thought they only interviewed after acceptance? No official letter yet....

I am so very nervous about my interview! I was told there will be a writing portion and a few of my MSW friends told me they will give us scenerios... still waiting for more specific information.

What kind of questions did they ask you during the interview?

I actually think SFSU's application process is way simpler than other schools I've applied to. Quick and easy applications, they asked for the least documents and forms to fill out. I applied at another school that required an 8-11 page statement of purpose. Talk about frustrating... The MSW applications for all schools is really frustrating in general becuase it felt like I had to dig for more information. I agree the deadline really threw me off because it was so early but I didn't mind because that meant they would get back to me earlier!
