For me, getting into Graduate school, especially Hunter Silberman School of Social Work, is thus far my greatest accomplishment. In 2014, I was told by a supervisor that he was not going to offer me a Director position because I did not have my MSW, yet I was qualified enough to train my supervisor (who had her MSW) to supervise me. #FML I'm happy to be starting the next chapter in my life and for finally having the balls to move towards adulthood.

Just an updated...I was accepted into the OYR program a few hours ago. I interviewed on Friday and found out on Monday. Super excited! Now I can finally breathe. Good luck to everyone!

I just completed my interview an hour and a half ago and now i'm back to freaking out. I definitely left the room feeling like I left an impression. Good luck to everyone who interviewed this week

Congratulations! I go in on Friday for my interview, so I am happy to read that the process speeds up after the interview. Good luck with everything, hopefully we'll be in the same class

My application said that also and I harassed them via phone and email. Finally someone got back to me from their office and asked me a few questions over the phone. I applied for the OYR Clinical track program, but they felt my current job description did not match what I wanted to pursue. Fortunately, I was able to explain the situation, she pushed my application through, and that night I received an invitation for any interview. It seems like the only way to get your stuff through is by harassing them lol

I finally heard back from Hunter and was invited to an interview. I scheduled it for next week Friday I am SUPER nervous. I want this so bad that I hope I don't f*ck it up.

I am super worried because I applied to their OYR program and have not heard back from them and no one seems to be around to answer my questions.

What number did you call because I feel like I cannot get through to anyone.

Has anyone who applied to the One Year Residency program hear back yet? I checked my status and received a Pending Program Decision update? Is this a good sign? Or a polite way of saying, "You have been rejected!"?

So I just checked my application and it says "Pending Program Decision." Does anyone even know what that means?

Okay. So you just gave me a sliver of hope. I applied to the OYR program and their deadline is April 1st. So I am hoping that they start looking at apps by late March early April for this program.

Did you apply for two year clinical or OYR?

Thanks! I wonder how long it takes for them to accept or reject your application. Right now, I feel a rejection coming on.

When you received your invitation, was it via email? Did anything change on your application?

I submitted my application on February 1st and have yet to hear anything. I am hoping that they will begin in March...like this week. Keep us posted if you hear back

I submitted my application for Silberman on 2/1, it was changed to submitted on 2/10. I haven't heard anything.

So then I guess it's just a waiting game that's designed to fill me with anxiety EVERY day until they start making moves.

Does your application status still say submitted? or under review? My app still says submitted.

Thank you for this update! The deadline for the OYR program is April 1st, but I submitted my application two months in advance. Anxious me thought that they might review my application now as opposed to closer to the April deadline. What program did you apply for @alyssak112?

I applied to Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work's One Year Residency Program. I submitted my application on February 1st and my application was officially filed as complete on February 10th. I am beyond anxious and obsessively checking my account for a status update. Has anyone else applied to Hunter?

Hi All, I applied to Hunter College's OYR MSW Program on February 3rd and my application was officially submitted to Admissions on February 10th. I am freaking out!! I had my whole team (my supervisor, colleagues, and Best Friends) help me with this application, in particular my personal statement and my recommendations. My anxiety is extremely high right now because although I have a few years of experience in their other two tracks, I applied for their clinical track. More so because I feel that with a clinical track degree, I can actually begin to help the hundreds of youth that come in to our offices with mental health issues, crises, and intervention. Any who, this is my first time applying to graduate school and this was the only school that I applied to. I'm unfamiliar with how this process works, so any feedback that you all can give me would be great. Good luck to everyone applying for graduate school for the Fall 2016 semester. Fingers crossed we all get accepted
