[MSW in California Accepted 2013?]

I accepted CSUF offer two weeks ago. So It's CSUF for me too. I'm still waiting to hear back from 6 other schools but since I live in Irvine I don't think I want to leave the area. What concentration did you choose? 

Congrats! I'm going into community mental health. You?

Which one is your first choice?

UCLA would be nice, although I already have a hefty college loan to pay off, and some social workers have told me a degree from UCLA may not help me to find a job any faster (thankfully I have a few years of experience working in the field, and other relevant training). Wherever I go, I'll apply for the CALSWEC grant--but there's no guarantee I'll receive it. I've heard from several satisfied CSULB graduates, and it would be nice to go to a school so close to home. I did my undergrad there, and I loved the atmosphere on campus.

 

However, Fullerton offers smaller classes, plus I have communicated with some of their competent, passionate faculty, and they gave me a good vibe. A coworker has enjoyed her experience in the program thus far.

 

I don't know much about Dominguez Hills' program. They're taking their sweet time with admissions. I studied there 6 years ago, and while I loved 90% of my professors, clerical errors and other administrative issues on campus left me feeling less than confident about the school. Their new library evokes a big budget sci-fi film (yay?), but other than that, the place and surrounding area are ugly.

 

So I think it's going to be Fullerton for me.

Got into Cal State Fullerton (notified on Jan. 2), and Cal State Long Beach (Feb. 7). Still waiting to hear back from Cal State Dominguez Hills, and UCLA. Good luck, everyone.
