    Verloren got a reaction from Danger_Zone in First-generation student (or not)?   
    I'm the first in my family to pursue higher education (undergrad and grad). My parents were immigrants and were raised in poverty (HS and grade school education), but I was lucky enough to experience a pretty middle classed childhood. They've always pushed me to go as far as I could academically, so I'm lucky that they've been as supportive as they can be. 
    And though I know even with my education I will not make as much as they do (because of their long hours and such), I appreciate the opportunity they have given me to experience life through this lens.

    @SW2016 You make it sound like Hunter is discriminating people based on who they are their origins, (things people cannot control) rather than qualifications. It's true that not many social work programs require interviews, but it is certainly not unacceptable. After all, I work with a HS student who just went on several interviews just to get into college. Many SUNY schools (including the one I go to) has graduate programs which require interviews and additional information from applicants, it's more for the school to make sure that you are a good fit than to discriminate. 
    Anyway, the goal of me replying to you was not to start a argument or anything. We obviously have different views on the matter. If you believe that you have been discriminated against or that something is going on, please, by all means report it. If something pans out, changes will happen. But I will say that both the therapist in charge of my local clinic and the coordinator of crisis services went through the same interview process when they applied over two decades ago. If you submit complaints, I wish you the best of luck and I hope you make the changes you want.
    I just want to point out that the point of this thread, and of this forum in general, is to support and help students who are applying and who have questions. If you applied, I hope it goes well and that you get in, if not, I hope that you got into whatever you applied for. But please don't make this thread which is meant to help one another into a argument about why this process shouldn't be here since everyone on this thread obviously just wants to get some advice and support on how to get into Hunter in particular. 
    Sorry if that was too lengthy, I ended up just typing my thoughts and not really going over it too much, hopefully it all made sense. 
    Best of luck to everyone on here!

    After your interview ( like even one or two days later) you need to check your application because they inform you there about your response.
    You scroll all the way down and it will  say  DECISION STATUS: AVAILABLE BEGINNING: {DATE}
    And they interview in shifts - so don't be beyond concerned if you have not yet been notified of an interview date. 
    Good luck! Feel free to ask any questions!
