Congrats! I honestly got sick of tired of waiting to hear from LB so I accepted fullerton. Is LB your first choice?

Did you guys hear?!

My letter of recs were from my research professor at CSULB, a teacher from LBUSD, and a teacher/ program coordinator at GGUSD. I've done volunteer work with the Truancy Reduction Center (about 120 hours), working with students who are truant in school, meeting with them and the parent to figure out what's going on and provide counseling. All of my work experiences has involved kids from pk-k12. I have nine jobs on my resume as of right now because I couldn't fit in any more than that. I've had different positions in different school districts, either working as an interpreter, a college aide, or as a tutor. I am also leading a research right now at CSULB with one of my professors, a study on intimate partner violence amongst asian and latino cultures.

My interview for CSUF was about 30 minutes (I had a lot of questions). It happened on a Monday and I heard from them on Sunday. Good luck guys!

I applied in November, was pended, and still have not heard from them. I think they're going to take their sweet time making their decision and won't let us know until July.

Who is choosing Fullerton as their school of choice? Has everyone heard from them by now? I was recently accepted to the 2 year program under the child welfare concentration and am STOKED! My original plan was to go to long beach. However, after having my interview, I found the staff incredible friendly and inviting. I also thought the school was beautiful and would be a great place for me to experience new things. I went to LB for my undergrad, and though I loved it, I felt the MSW program there wasn't as inviting as the other schools I applied to. I want to feel invited and welcomed, and also supported during my two years of study. And so... I am happy to say that Fullerton will be number one choice!

Did anyone get accepted to LB and is going to attend? My original plan was to go to LB but after being put on pending status, waiting until July for a response does not make me want LB as badly anymore. I know that LB has one of the older MSW programs but I hear a lot of people saying that they're telling students there will be changes going on in this upcoming year so it'll be less organized and less structured. What the hell.. what kind of convincing message is that. I am liking csulb less and less each day and this is coming from a student who went there for undergrad.

Did you only apply to these two schools? I applied to CSULB, USC, and CSUF. LB is my first choice, too, and they are also making me wait until July. I had to respond to both USC and CSUF before LB even gave me an answer and accepted both. For USC, they kept making me make a deposit (and I was definitely not ready to accept) so I deferred by application until next year. I really don't want to go there because of the money... but I did want to keep my options open and need the time to decide the financial stuff. Hope that helps!

congrats!!!

Did anyone get an email for an interview?! Mine is on Monday!! So excited to finally hear back from a school.

For those of you who have heard from Fullerton, when did you submit your application?

LBER, I am in the same boat. Waiting around for a school, and having no clue of their decision, is definitely frustrating. At first, LB was my back up choice and USC was my first. So when I was accepted to USC, I thought I'd get in for sure! My friend last year applied to the program with a 3.9 and was rejected. I have no idea what to expect from them... so much for a rolling admissions basis because they for sure did not send out letter early on in the application process. I applied in november! I feel you on the financing situations. I don't know if I should start looking for a place in Long Beach or for a place in LA. Waiting for so long sucks.

seriously! cmon lb, accept us already.

Still waiting on CSUF

I applied to USC and LB, too! And CSUF. I went to CSULB for my undergrad. Great atmosphere, you will love it.
