@Omar760, that's good news! It might not seem like it now, just because you have to keep waiting, but at least you weren't rejected. I can't even tell you how much being rejected has hurt my self-esteem, and I am sure a lot of other people feel that way as well... I had no idea they had a waiting list, at least there's hope!! Hang in there!!

14'msw thank you, and likewise. Hope it's good news for you, I think if it had been a rejection you would have heard by now too. I just got the email directing me to the link.

14'msw, thank you yes, that's the one, i have yet to receive the kiss of death email, I just happened to check randomly. If it still says no decision has been made for you, you might still hear good news. Good luck!

So I checked the website... I got rejected I'm heartbroken, as I did not apply elsewhere but more than being sad, I am angered that they took so long and did not seem to be organized during the application process at all. They could have eased a lot of our anxiety by not waiting so long if it was going to be a rejection. A lot of us have important decisions to make as a result of not getting in, so to keep everyone like they did is just cruel. Good luck to everyone else!! Hope you guys get positive news. Thank you for being so supportive and encouraging while I was in limbo for so long. Having this forum to vent to definitely helped ease my anxiety, so thank you everyone!

Thank you @14'msw

wait...so today or tomorrow? otherwise rolling basis? I'm confused. Or even the rolling basis ones will hear by today or tomorrow?

@lucyyy19, very true! waiting is not nearly as bad as being officially rejected. At least there's hope

nope, I wasn't clear what a "rolling basis" means, so if any one knows, please clarify. lol Does that mean they are accepting people as other people decide not to go there? As for the time frame... she said they are still sending out letters this week or possibly in the next few weeks. If someone could call and get a little more info, that'd be great. I just felt weird going on and on with my questions. @esimanon, if your e-mail is down you can still check your status by clicking on that link that directs you to the grad application decision status.

ok you guys... I caved in and called just now. I wanted to know if it's all bad news for those of us who haven't heard. Whitney said that they are sending out decisions on a rolling basis and so there is still a chance that we have been admitted.

still waiting... I was going to call and see what's taking so long, but I figured I'll only torture myself even more.

@hiclub2 It matters to some people... An msw is an msw regardless, but for a lot of us it's not just about the title after your name, it's about the experience you will get at that specific program.

@omar760 It sucks that Ucla is taking so long!! They had initially said we would hear back at the end of the week :/ You can always accept and then withdraw your application, that's what I did last year when I got into csun and USC. I ended up not going there and chose to apply to Ucla this year instead. This is the ONLY school i applied to this year. USC is an amazing program and it is actually ranked higher for social work, I would have definitely gone there if tuition weren't over $80,000. I couldn't fathom taking out so much in loans when I will not be making a lot as a social worker in the first place. I know that USC asks for a deposit when you accept, but the way I see it, that deposit is nothing compared to the $$$ you will be paying for tuition. If UCLA accepts you, it's a win-win because you'll have gotten into the school you really wanted to go and you will definitely save a lot in tuition, even though you paid your deposit to USC. If ucla doesnt accept you, then you can be at peace knowing you did the right thing by accepting USC's offer. Good luck!

I was relieved to not see the kiss of death e-mail this morning as well! lol Hang in there, hope is the last thing to be lost.

Thank you everyone, I'm glad I joined. At least I can vent and share my anxiety with those who are/were on the same boat Fingers crossed so that we hear from them soon

@14'msw, when did you submit your application? I wonder what's taking so long, first they said by the end of this week, now they extended it to next week :/ I agree with @swrker14 that if the state schools are getting to it, UCLA shouldn't be taking so long. I specifically asked if the ppl who submitted their applications by the priority deadline would hear back sooner, and at the diversity fair they said yes. This didn't happen to be the case. It would suck to wait so long only to get the kiss of death e-mail
