[Fall 2014 MSW Applications]

I haven't heard back and I applied mid-November...I'm checking my email daily!

I applied early October and heard from USC in November!

[CSU's submitted applications & waiting for decisions]

@onenametime I have only gotten confirmation emails from CSULB and CSUF but still no reply as to whether I got in or not

 

I am still working out financial issues with USC so for now, my decision to attend is on hold. I would love to go there though! Have you finished with all of your apps?

[CSULB MSW]

Hello there,

 

Has anyone heard from LB yet? They're on a rolling admissions and I'm so anxious for an answer!

SFGiants, are you applying to schools in the west coast only? There are many great programs in California. However, I believe the very best MSW is at the University of Washington. I would loveeeee to go there. I had the pleasure to visit the campus this past summer and fell in love. Did you know UW and UCLA has the same architect? Pretty awesome. Don't know about that rain though but it would have definitely been an option if I haven't already built my connections here in sunny So Cal. Good luck!

Describe your experiences with diverse populations and groups, and how those experiences have contributed to your interest in social work. Which population (defined by culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, psychological and/or physical functioning) would you like to serve and why?

 

i'm having a little bit of a problem answering this question. There is a population (kids and families) that i would like to work with, but does that make me too narrow minded? Should i say more groups? Should i say i want to work with everyone? thanks

I think you should say what you feel. It comes off more honest and it will show in your work experience Oh! and it will also determine which category you will be placed in.

[CSU's submitted applications & waiting for decisions]

Applied to:

USC- 10/08- accepted 11/07

CSUF - 10/2

CSULB- 11/14

 

Make sure you submit those CSULB apps quick since they are on a rolling admission system!

[USC MSW or CSULB MSW?]

I was recently accepted to USC's MSW program. HOWEVER, it costs a ton of money, and by a ton, I mean 90k. I am so torn. It would be a dream to go to USC but the price is so excruciating. I am currently waiting for a reply from UCLA, CSULB, and CSUF. Does anyone have any opinions on the different types of programs or which school is the best choice? It would be very helpful!
