Hi!
Anyone on here attending CSULA for their MSW program? If so, are you doing the 2 or 3 year program?
Also, have you heard from Lightburn regarding anything? I am a little confuse what we do next.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to get your opinion on my chances of getting in. I submitted the application on the last day and did my interview on 3/12/2018. In the past forums and even on this year's forum, it seems that those who had an interview usually hear back on their acceptance a week or two after their interview. Since I haven't been contacted in over a month, should I assume I'll eventually be denied entry? I know that they're still considering potential students till mid May, but I'm not confident. My plan was to apply to this program, and if I got denied, I'd start looking for a long term job that I'm passionate about. I want to start applying to jobs now, but I'm weary in case I by chance get into the program. What are your thoughts? I hate waiting till May to officially hear back and possibly start applying and interviewing for jobs.
Much appreciated,
AndreaHi Andrea,
You shouldn’t assume you’ll be denied because you never know! Maybe they’re still debating between people or maybe people who were accepted will deny it so there will be open slots. Next week is the beginning of May and Segovia should be close to done notifying people of their Acceptance so yeah I would start applying to places because employers take a while to get back to applicants anyways. And if you get an interview and/or get a job offer then awesome but that doesn’t mean you have to take the job. And if you don’t get into the program then work and apply again to this program and other programs next year. I wish you the best and don’t worry because things will work out! (:

I was just rejected from UCLA today
I have been accepted to USC, CSUDH, and CSULA at this time. Still waiting on LB and Fullerton. My top pick was UCLA but now I am unsure as that will not be happening... I am discouraged about Fullerton and LB as I have not heard anything from then...
What is your top pick?
Hi @Elliemsw!
Did you interview with CSUF already and waiting to hear back from that?
My bf's sister graduated from USC and she really enjoyed her time there but when I hear her talk about the $100,000 + plus that she's now owes it hurts my heart because that's so much money. She's a social workers for LA County and getting the same pay as anyone else who graduated from a csu. My piece of advice is to save your wallet.

I applied for Child Welfare as well.. haven't heard anything yet
I think they are notifying people until the end of the month. I was looking at old topics from last year and some people were getting invites for interviews like on March 30th so there's still time. Did you apply to other schools?

What concentration did you apply for
I put child welfare but I am contemplating between that one and community health. Segovia said there was time in the beginning to figure out which one to choose before we have to start taking the elective classes pertaining to that concentration. What did you choose?

Hi,
Don't be nervous! They're very nice and they don't create an intimidating atmosphere. Just be prepared to tell them about yourself, which is where you have the most time to sell yourself. They'll also want to know why you chose your specific concentration, what population you'd have issues working with and why. Also - come prepared with an example of a stressful situation and how you dealt with it. The rest of the time is for asking them questions.
Good luck!
Thank you so much! I am very appreciative of these tips and I hope you get your acceptance soon (:

Hi!
I applied on the last day January 16th for the three year program. I received an email yesterday to come in for an interview. My interview is on April 10th. There were slots available all the way until April 20th so for those who have not heard back yet don't lose hope!
Anyone who had their interviews already mind sharing any tips and/or questions?
Thanks and good luck to everyone! (:

I applied to cal states because I live in ca but if you live on the east coast I am not sure how it is. However, the csu's really look at the last 60 semester units. So if other schools follow that then I would try going back to school at like a community college and take classes relating to social work and try to raise your gpa so you can apply to msw programs for the following year. But as the other gal said, you wont know until you try. Hope this helps!

Hi! My name is Savannah Coker. I was accepted to CSULA and CSULB. I have not heard from CSUN yet, but I interviewed with them mid-February. What is your first choice program?
I’m sure you’ll hear from them shortly! I’m debating between csuf and csula. Csuf because it’s a good program and convenient because it’s closest to me. But I feel I’ll get good field work experience from csula. So I’ll be happy at either programs. What’s yours?

I received an email from CSUF yesterday afternoon inviting me to interview for the MSW program. Apparently it is with two people, but they did not give names. Was told interviews last about 30 minutes total (makes sense; the time slots you can pick from are in 30 minute intervals). Nervous but excited. What are your stats?
That’s awesome! Good luck! I was reading another post and they said kelly Segovia was in their interview but idk who the second person could be. I graduated from csulb with a major in sociology. My last 60 sem units is 3.48

Hi Guys!
So it’s about that time! Schools are sending out their acceptance/decline letters. Let this be a place where you can share which CSUs you applied, which ones you’ve heard from and have yet to hear from. If you got invited for an interview please share some tips for those who haven’t had theirs yet. Let’s support each other and possibly meet people who will be in your program in the fall!
My name is Selene and I applied to the extended programs for CSUF CSULA and CSUDH. I got accepted to CSULA and CSUDH but have yet to hear anything from CSUF.

I applied on the deadline for the extended program. I did my undergrad there, not that it means anything. Haven't heard a single update from them yet.

I applied to the extended program too! Hopefully we hear from them soon.

I applied to Fullerton the Friday before applications were due, so.... Friday, January 12th. I also applied to Long Beach the same day. Dominguez hills I sent in the mail, I wanna say the 23rd of January. How did Dominguez Hills contact you? When did you turn in your applications? What are your "stats"?
I applied to Fullerton the day of the deadline so January 16th. I applied to Dominguez Hills about a week before the deadline on January 26th. They first sent me an email and then I received 2 letters in the mail (one for the acceptance letter, two for the statement of commitment). BA in soc from csulb with 3.48 last 60 sem units. I read in other threads that Csuf has been contacting by email so I’ve been checking my email like nonstop.

Hi!
I didn’t apply to csulb’s program but I did graduate from there with my undergrad. Most people will choose csulb because of the reputation but honestly i feel its all the same. You get out what you put in. But definitely go with your gut decision.
Good luck!

Hi! I got an email earlier this week inviting me in for an interview, which will be on Thursday.
If anybody has any suggestions on what I should bring (resume, etc.) or has had experience with this interview, any help would be appreciated!
Hi!
Congratulations and good luck!! When did you submit your Fullerton application?
I would bring a resume just in case (better safe than sorry) and dress for success! I looked through last years forums about CSUF and some people described the interview process so it may be helpful to look at those. Try looking up "CSUF MSW Fall 2017" forum.

Hello! That's great!
I had a 3.313 from UCI in Psychology and Social Behavior, and a 3.28 at my community college. My last 60 units were all at UCI, so 3.313 is my last 60 units. I want to work with child protective services, then move onto found my own wraparound program, my passion is with the kiddos.
I have just under a year of experience with special needs with respite care, 8 or so years of experience with children, 7 months of experience with at-risk youth, and 4 years of experience at a home for abused women and children. I was also part of an honor fraternity if that matters at all.
I have yet to hear from CSULB, CSUF or CSUDH
You are definitely getting into schools! You have a great GPA and experience! (: And that's awesome that you want have a wraparound program!
When did you submit your application to CSUF?
I received my acceptance to CSUDH yesterday so you should be hearing back soon! I heard back from CSULA today as well so hopefully Fullerton is not too far behind.

Hi!
I'm also impatiently waiting for a response from CSUF!
BA: Sociology from CSULB
Last 60 sem. units: 3.48
Experience: 5 years working with low income families and youth
