  1. I don't blame you! I sort of felt the same way when i went but wondered if it was just my out of town-ness. Good luck in your courses!!
  2. I got my rejection letter today just 2 days after my interview. Wishing the best of luck to you all!
  3. Sorry! I must have missed that. I understand now! The facilitator in my interview at Hunter seemed to point out that NYU is going to prepare you a lot for working in private practices, so working almost strictly with couples or individuals. I'm SURE they also teach more than that, if they're accredited they must, but this might be their end goal for the social workers they are graduating. Hunter is going to focus a lot on social services aspects, while still teaching you the clinical information you need to know to be an LCSW and to eventually have your own/work in a private setting. So, I guess that choice is really up to you and what you feel works best for you! Maybe research the curriculums of each school, check out some of the faculty's research interests. That's what I did and that's how I became settled on Hunter. The school aligned with everything I wanted to do, and what I want for my future career. Hope this is helpful and not just blowing steam lol
  4. I say if you're more interested in the social justice community thing, Hunter is a better choice. They really focus on that and it's super diverse which means the education you'll receive is second to none. The diversity is only going to help you as a social worker in the future as you work with multiple clients from different cultures. And it's cheap.
  5. @Astoriagal I would give them a call for sure. Being annoying is the least of the problems when you need a decision. They could have missed it by accident. @chilly8 I had my interview yesterday. Be prepared to answer questions on why you want to go to Hunter. It was more of a discussion between the group members and the facilitator (she was awesome!) They may ask ethical questions as well. I recommend getting to know your group before the interview.. It helped me be WAY more relaxed and they were really fun and nice people.
  6. there were a lot available for this week and next week. The last one available I saw was Tuesday the 24. It was at like 5-7 pm. They varied on times. Some were 11-1 or later in the day.
  7. I received mine late in the day, around 4:30 mtn time.
  8. I have an interview in a week and a half and the waiting and suspense for that and pending acceptance/rejection is killing meeeee! I'm having a hard time sleeping and I feel general anxiety when I'm not super busy. I'll know by the beginning of April... that's all I keep telling myself. Then I can figure things out... This is so lame. Waiting is not my forte.
  9. Congrats! What an awesome feeling! Is it your first choice?
  10. I'm waiting for my interview at Hunter in two weeks, and it's honestly keeping me up at night! I only applied to one school and I'm hoping things come through. The idea of moving literally cross-county to NYC is exciting and terrifying but I want it so badly! I've got 4+ years as a full time psych tech in a mental health treatment facility, a 3.0 GPA and LOTS of psych/social work classes/clubs. My LOR are really strong and I can't be more grateful for them. I'm worried about it all and hopefully I get some sleep soon!

    New York, NY

    I'm applying to Hunter College, and if accepted, I'll be moving from Utah to NYC. I have a brother there, but his apartment is full and I'm worried about making monthly payments of rent without a job (my program would involve coursework 2 days a week, and field placement -mostly unpaid- the other 3 days). I'm wondering how the dorm situations are, or if there's some crazy way to make a monthly rent payment happen. I know I'll be taking out loans, but my experience with education loans have been just enough to cover tuition. Do they give you more as a graduate student? I'm really excited about this possibility of moving to my favorite city, but I'm trying to prepare myself for whatever may come and understand exactly how everything works.
  12. If I get accepted, I'm treating myself to a NICE dinner, a good drink, and finally a night of good sleep instead of anxiously thinking about what if's. Might go buy a nice new outfit too.
  13. That's really weird! I would maybe give them a call tomorrow, check every so often tonight (because it might be just a tech. difficulty), check in the morning and then call. Hopefully it all works out for you!
  14. It should be very soon! Keep an eye out for your email! They emailed me pretty late in the day (almost 5 mountain time, meaning almost 7 in NYC). Good luck! Hope to see you there!
  15. Oh good luck! I had to mail a check and it seemed to take FOREVER! They were pretty slow at processing. I was worried about missing the deadline. I didn't apply to any other schools so this is definitely my top choice. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you hear back from them soon!
