Cal State Universities MSW Applicants Thread

I just checked and found out I got accepted at sjsu! I think I checked around 9:30 so if you're also waiting for sjsu check on your CMS portal. -
Guess what? I found out I got accepted! Mgmt & planning concentration. weird part is that everything was coming together at CSUMB. They already gave us family housing 2b/1b, garage,yard for 1310/month. The program staff really communicative. Excited to move there, pictured a new coastal adventure. Invited us to conferences already. Berkeley is full-time. Has a petition to make it part-time but only if have baby or pregnant. Want to keep my current full-time job. Monterey is part-time program. However I live in East Bay now and wouldn't have to move 2 year old out to new daycare... Berkeley was where I got introduced to SW and where I was always fixated on going. Used to say I would quit my job to go to grad school there but now I have one worth keeping. how/why did u make your decision in the end? Help!

If you get a chance to attend a info session, even if it is a web-based one, you will get a sense of the programs because they usually have a student panel. Also, try contacting the school to see if they have a student who would be willing to speak with you; they usually do. Last, look up names of alumni and try contacting them and seeing if they wouldnt mind sharing!

Grad schools accepting people with profiles much "worse" than mine. Confused if I should even go there now?

Sometimes you did fit the square but there is simply no space. It is possible to have everything they want but still not get selected. So remember that. I am currently waitlisted at UCB and my colleagues are telling me congrats and I was like, "no, I might not get in." But then I said, okay I will accept their congrats; it reminded me to celebrate every milestone along the path of the journey.

Asked how waitlist will be handled. Got this reply: "We won't begin to move people off the waitlist until after April 15th, which is the deadline for people to respond to our admission offers. From April 15-May 31st, we will move people off the waitlist according to how many people respond to our admission offers. Best, Admissions Office School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley" I asked if the waitlisted ppl are in line with a number but they didn't answer that part.

Wokebrowngirl, I already sent in my reply to stay on the waitlist and I think you should too! Even if you change your mind at least you are on the list. I just called to see how they will process it. I know it is by concentration by I want to know how else they choose? Just first come first serve on who said to be on the waitlist or are we already ranked somehow. But I also applied to SJSU and CSUMB which are part-time programs and probably more suited for my life but still.... I love Berkeley! (went there for undergrad). I kinda like to choose the most crazy options in life. For instance, I drive 2 hours each way to work because I wanted to work at my old community college! Haha! But its worth it in the end! Come on, Workbrowngirl! Get on dat waitlist! (What others schools did you apply to? Maybe we'll end up two woke brown girls in the same program in the end! haha)
-
waitlisted too!!! We did apply for the smallest concentration though.... ugh waiting continues!

On the website it says: "All applicants will be notified of decisions by March 15th. Timing of notifications will vary between programs and concentrations." So I think we will know today! http://socialwelfare.berkeley.edu/msw-admissions

That's funny! I am obsessively checking too! I was thinking... "What time on the 15th!!!" Haha so I stayed up 'til midnight thinking maybe it will get sent out at the stroke of midnight, like some Cinderella ish! w Anyways, applied for MAP too!
