    Jjjjjbird got a reaction from disab in Fall 2022 PhD in Social Work/Social Welfare   
    Hi team! First, thank you all for this thread - it's been so nice to feel in community a bit with you all in this process!
    I'm wondering if anyone has heard from Boston University, NYU (I know someone got a waitlist notice but has anyone gotten an acceptance/rejection? I interviewed first week of Feb and have heard nothing since), Rutgers or UConn?
    I've heard back from Boston College, Maryland, and UPenn but radio silence from the other schools ?

    Jjjjjbird got a reaction from deeringcenter in Heinz MSPP-DC vs. Fletcher School at Tufts   
    I went to Tufts undergrad, and I honestly think you can't go wrong with Fletcher (although I admittedly have little knowledge of how it compares to Heinz). As far as Tufts go, I really can't talk enough about how much I love it, and Fletcher has an incredible reputation. I don't think you would have any trouble getting a job at all in your field with a degree from Fletcher. As an undergrad, I was able to attend lectures sponsored by Fletcher that were incredible - Bill Clinton and John Kerry. AND it's part of Tufts, so really, it's a no brainer
     
    Good luck!

    Jjjjjbird got a reaction from acw in Application Advice   
    I completely agree with everything lifesaver has said, but I wanted to let you know, acw, that my stats were similar/less than yours and so far I have been accepted to Columbia (with a $2,000 a semester scholarship) and Fordham (no financial aid info yet from Fordham)  (I am still waiting to hear from NYU and Hunter).
     
    I went to a small liberal-arts school for undergrad and had a 3.39 gpa at graduation with child development/psychology/French majors. As far as experience in the field, I have, relative to you, very little. I did a little work in high schools throughout college and I am currently volunteering as an SAT tutor in NYC, but that's it! I also did not take the GREs because none of the programs I applied to asked for them.
     
    It really sounds like you're on a good track to get an acceptance to the schools you have mentioned...I hope this helped lessen your stress a little! I would definitely continue with the volunteer work (by the way, the work you do at the church seems like it is actually very relevant to the field) and definitely keep your grades up, and I'm sure you'll be fine (and get higher merit scholarships then I did!). Good luck!
