Anyone else doing the three year program...? Im leaning heavily towards it now...

For those who have gotten into the 3 year program, are you interested in accepting the offer? or would you be willing to keep yourself pending? Im trying to decide and ive made a pros and cons list. The pros are general and personal, but .. Tell me what you think about these cons as this three year program was not my first choice... but still could be a great opportunity.. 3 year program... only take two classes each semester for: fall/spring/summer/fall/spring/summer/fall/spring Field work is only in the second and third year Would MAYBE have to start paying my loans because Im not a "full" time student Cohort is small... but the rest of the students are older adults that are working and might be uninterested in creating a community.. Area is... not so great to live in... Anyone?

Holy Crap! Wasnt expecting this at all but I got an email offering admission to the 3 year program!

I was admitted to the aging and families. My first choice was children, youth, women and families.

Accepted to CSULA! Unfortunately it was my second choice of concentration... but thats okay!

Hi what are your stats? gpa, volunteer/ work experience?

Has anyone heard anything from CSULA? I think its incredible they still havent gotten back to majority of their applicants when CSULB was rumored to be slower but has gotten back to me..

Yea I applied Feb 12th. I wonder how many of us are put into pending...

Officially on Pending Status. I really want to call the school and ask them how likely someone with pending status is to get in and how its determined which pending students get the first open slots... Anyone know?

Hey MarielMSW! Can you tell us a bit about yourself and what you think helped you get in to csulas msw program?

I sent an email to CSULB asking if they could tell me how many people apply and how many people they let it. This was their response: "We generally do not give that type of information out but for the 2-year program model, which was your first choice, we are accepting 100 applicants."

Anyone else hear back? CSULB is accepting only 100 applicants for the fall...

Yes that definitely helps a lot! Do you know if that subject of that email was: CSULB Financial Aid-Additional Information Required ? The email I received was very specific with instructions about • Click on the button at the bottom of the screen that says “Get My Financial Aid Forms” • Follow the prompts on EACH screen to request your forms be sent via email. • Follow these same steps in the event you need to request additional copies in the future. Anyone else get that?

Thanks! Im hoping someone who was put on pending status could reply about whether they were asked to fill finaid info!

Hey everyone! can anyone shed some light on my current CSULB situation? These are the emails ive gotten from CSULB: Jan 15th : Application Acknowledgement Feb 12th: Social Work Department received my application Feb 13th: " Your application will take 8-15 weeks...Thanks. " and thats all the communication Ive gotten from them besides me checking my status like every day on their status website. Today I got an email from Enrollment Services - Financial Aid regarding some paperwork I need to send in. Did anyone else get this email? if you were pending did you receive this email? I dont want to get my hopes up, but is this a good sign im being asked about fin aid? Or is this just a normal thing everyone else has gotten? Thanks!

When did you apply? I havent heard back ANYTHING from them since I was told they received my app. and im getting anxious to call.

I got accepted into USC so early that they made me decide by March 15th. I put in the deposit with the right to withdrawl but also save my spot. However the deposit is non refundable.

Hey Everyone that applied to LB and got a Pending Letter on the 19th, what dates did you apply? Thanks!

I applied November 15th and yup was accepted on the 10th via email.

Hey esimanon! My boyfriend encourage me to call UCLA and ask what they would have better liked to see on my application to make it strong enough to be accepted in next years... I still havent called.. but kind of want to. Next year, look to apply wider and to more schools. The competitiveness for these programs in a state that can barely afford any kind of aid to public education is bound to be rough. Good luck next year and take care

thats five months... thats a long freaking wait.. totally worth it, congrats!

OH GOD! congrats! When did you apply!! and was it email??

They are seriously VERY rude. both csulb and la are really rude. it seems like every time someone calls they push it back. When I look at previous years forum, people arent inputing they got accepted until june. Starts in May. I think its ridiculous. Giving us only 2 months to figure out financials and housing and not to mention the possible of not being accepted at all and not knowing where to go or what to do with our Fall. USC doesnt help either.. forcing us to committe and pay the deposit even though they know very well many of us are waiting to hear back from other WAY MORE AFFORDABLE schools. I have almost a month and a half left until graduation and maybe, one day, if im lucky.. CSULB AND CSULA will get back to me (and hopefully accept me...) before I have to take out loans for USC.

Wait... has CSULB been sending out acceptances? or the only thing anyones gotten are pending status emails? csula is taking their time, like csulb, but at least theyre letting people in every so often..

well I just got off the phone with CSULB and they havent even looked at my app yet. People should know by end of May... They also have an acceptance rate of 18-24%, varying each year.
