Hi, For those of you who went to orientation last week, can you fill us in on what we missed? Thanks!

Thanks lostshoes! I thought we can only take summer classes after our first year?? Well that would be awesome if you can register!

Hmm I wonder if the school has a forum or place where they can connect you with other students also looking for housing. To anyone going to orientation tomorrow, please fill me in on what's discussed. I unfortunately won't be able to go to orientation until June 12th. Also has anyone heard anything about scholarships? Thanks!!

HI Maggie: You can see whats required your first semester in the manual at the back: http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/socwork/pdfs/student-handbook.pdf The only class I don't see on the schedule is Ways of Knowing. So I'm not sure if they changed the requirements for that class this year. The other 4 are available though. As for housing options, craigslist is best source for finding roommates. I would start there.

Thanks Anna! If I hear of anything sooner, I will let you guys know! Looking forward to meeting everyone in the Fall!

Hi Anna, Nothing happened after I created my account. Most of the info is outdated. I only submitted my field placement form and scholarship form last Friday and haven't heard anything since. I'm going to the Pre-Registration session on June 12th. I think most of our answers will be given during the pre-orientation. I know many of you are going on May 29th. Please let me know what is discussed then if you guys get a moment. The Fall 2014 schedule is posted on the Social Work's website under Registration so you can have an idea of the time schedule/classes. I'm in the Two Year program. Which program are you part of? Classes don't begin until August so I'm sure they aren't in a rush to notify us of anything. The current semester is over in 2 weeks and they are probably prepping for graduation. We probably won't get anything addressed until June. As a former CUNY student, the first semester is always a lag because of orientation but after, it's pretty simple to create your schedule and get everything completed. Your advisor should take care of everything.

I'm a former CUNY student so maybe that's why I was able to create my account. AnnaBanana, do you live in NYC? Maybe it's taking awhile for those who live out of state?

HI Anna, Yeah I think it was after I received the email that they received my deposit. I think I tried a few weeks back and I wasn't able to create an account. I sent in my deposit on May 1st I believe and I received the email on May 6th. So it basically took a week for them to process my deposit.

If you visit this link: https://home.cunyfirst.cuny.edu/oam/Portal_Login1.html Underneath where you enter your login info, it says first time users, I clicked on that and created my account. It gave me my Empl# and access to my account info. It still seems like they haven't entered a lot of my updated info so they are probably still figuring things out on their end.

Nevrmind I figured how to get it from Cunyfirst

Hi Maggie, How long after did it take to get your Empl ID#? Did it come by email? My commitment deposit was received and deposited this week. I got the email as well that they received it but haven't received my Empl ID# yet. By any chance is this the number that was on the commitment deposit form? Thanks!

Hi, I will be attending in the fall as well. I think you can estimate. You probably won't get more than the estimated cost of tuition and living expenses so I would estimate the max amount you can receive/will require. When you sent in your deposit, how long did it take for you to receive your EMPL ID? Thanks!

I also got accepted and will be going! I don't know of any forums for new students but this is their facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/SilbermanSSW Maybe we can start a separate discussion for those who will go to Hunter. Also which pre-orientation are people attending? I'm going to the one on June 12th.

Thanks so much!! This is very helpful!

Awesome. Congrats. And yes In terms of the interview, what questions did they ask? How many students were interviewed at once? How long was the whole process? Thanks!!

Congrats! Are you going? My application finally says Pending Interview as of today!! So hopefully things can be settled soon.

On the section of the website, it says not everyone will be interviewed. But not sure how up to date that is.

Thanks! Did he also say anything about when you should expect to hear about a decision or interview for your application?

Thanks! Do you know what time you called exactly? Because I tried to call him on Friday as well around 3 and no one picked up. I tried several times until 5 and kept getting his voicemail.

Ugh, I still haven't heard anything from Hunter and can't get anyone to answer my phone calls. I hope they didn't lose my application.

Hi, I too am still waiting to hear from UIC. My app was completed Jan 17. I just noticed last week that all my application items were finally checked verified so I'm hoping they make a decision soon. Best of luck!

When did your application become complete sslove? Mine became complete on 02/25/14, and I still don't have any sign of progress. I tried to call today too and the guy who is in charge of my application's voicemail said to call back on Friday between 3-5pm if it pertains to your application status.

Are people still waiting to be interviewed? My application still just says complete. I hope I'm not the only one waiting to hear back...

I just declined the offer from BC so hopefully one of you guys can receive the scholarship they gave me. It was for $16,000 so will cover 1/2 tuition. Good luck guys!!

Congrats!!! Do you know if you got any aid?
