It's very unfortunate! I also received the same PAL. $43K......To whom would I direct my requests for more funding? Applied, Accepted, Rejected University of Washington MSW UCLA MSW University of Chicago Illinois MSW SDSU MSW UT Austin MSW/MPAff

Yes I received the call last week! I checked it randomly on the appstatus link and received an email this morning at 2 am. It's headed your way soon.

Finally received the official decision letter from the grad committee. Is the deadline to accept the same for everybody? I haven't received info from the department. Thanks

I received the same phone call and message from Tiffany ~4:30 pm! She said to expect a letter from the graduate committee (decision reflected on portal) in no more than 10 days and a letter from the department sooner than that. Hope that helps!

Finally received the much awaited news!!!! After sending Tiffany a frenzied email she told me I have been admitted! She said to expect a letter from graduate committee within 10 days and one from the department sooner than that :)!

Congrats to all those accepted! To all those still waiting - Don't be discouraged! I get the feeling we'll hear back soon Applied, Accepted, Rejected UCLA MSW University of Washington MSW University of Chicago Illinois MSW SDSU MSW UT Austin MSW/MPAff

For those of you who have been in the field for a while, how do you feel the MSW will help you become a stronger social worker and advance your career?

Wow thanks for sharing! Sounds like you have great experience ! Best of luck to everyone still waiting for news

Congrats!!! Thanks for letting us know. Did not get any news yet. Do you mind sharing your stats and when you applied? thanks

I was accepted a couple weeks ago to their 2 year program. I applied to the Title IV-E Child Welfare program - has anyone heard from them about this? Also, has anyone heard about funding? I am pretty set on UT but funding would change things!

Congrats!! Thanks for letting us know. Did not get any news yet. Do you mind sharing your stats and when you applied? thanks

@van2312 https://grad.ucla.edu/admissions/admission-application-for-graduate-admission/ You can check here, I also emailed the office for confirmation. Still no news yet!

thank you for sharing. Wow, extensive experience ! well deserved. i cannot wait to hear back - whether good or bad.

@MrsKozee Do you mind me asking when you submitted your app and what sort of experience/qualifications/gre scores you had! only if you are up to it thanks !

Ah, congratulations! very excited for you. I applied on december 16 so it may be a while..

Yes ! obsessive speculation calms my nerves! rcthess, it sounds like you have some pretty good odds! you must've been a strong applicant. mrskozee, ucla is also my number one...heres some of my experience below... 3.5 gpa double major in psychology and sociology two years at campus early childhood education center during undergrad two quarters of mentoring local low income students one year behavior therapy and parent education for kids with autism peace corps in west africa for a few months until mandatory health evacuation six months volunteer at outreach center for homeless youth 158 verbal 159 quant on gre I applied to ucla, sdsu, utaustin, univ of illinois chicago, and uni of washington. only heard back from ut so far... SO SO anxious and eager

I am also crossing my fingers hoping for UCLA. I applied by december 16. What about y'all? I recently got into UT Austin's program too but UCLA is my number one choice!

I received a double BA in Psychology and Sociology in 2013. I am applying for MFT and School Psychology grad school programs. I have at least 2 strong professional references from post-grad work experience. However, the LOR from an academic source keeps me up at night... I did not anticipate going to graduate school so I did not get close to any of my professors. I have reached out to multiple professors and have gotten rejected each time. One professor was willing to say "I was in the class and received an A", a weak LOR. I have taken a relevant UC Berkeley extension course and can receive a letter from my teacher who is a PhD/LMFT, respected in the field. Which academic letter will carry more weight? An extremely weak LOR from a professor from my undergrad institution that barely remembers me or a stellar LOR from someone in the field who can praise me in the academic context? Please help!
