Hi I notice no one talks about staying in school grad housing Baity hill grad/family housing. Most of you are looking at private ones out of school. Are there any reasons why? I am coming with my spouse and two young children in August 2017 - flying in from South East Asia.
-
Hi, I am heading to chapel hill this fall 17 too! looking forward. what housing will you be staying in? when do you plan to arrive in CH? I will be staying in Baity hill and hope to arrive first week of Aug

For those who applied to Chicago, I noticed a new clickable icon "decision documents' on the top part of the application website. However my status still state "There is no update to your application status to report."

Hi I have just been "denied" admission to Wisoncin-Madison. There is no email sent and i found out about it when i checked the system. (i feel that they should use a better word than "denied" haha)
-
Thanks @Lois1955

Not me as well

Wow good for u that u had an interview with Chicago. A v good sch. I applied too but I think I don't have a chance since I didn't get an interview. I remember you have Two more choice - Chi and ucla - after Berkeley rejected. Hope u get one of these two!! U are one step closer!
-
Any updates? Nothing for me. Still waiting for an interview date with WashU.
-
Sorry to hear that too. Hope you will have good news from your other applications!
-
Congrats to your acceptance to UNC - I was also accepted. I am also waiting for an interview date to be given by WUSTL! Your interview is a face to face interview at WashU? Nope, nothing from Michigan! Hang on everyone!
-
You have to travel there? It seems that travel expenses will be provided? yeah i think it is too late to know in April. eeks...
-
If i don't get in, I will try again next year! But that will be probably be my last attempt. life goes on even while waiting, so I am still having fun with my kids, finishing up my research here and hope to get some pubs done, working etc.... Distract myself from the waiting haha
-
Yeah we shld be hearing some news soon. Keep us informed. I didn't apply to any of these 3 schools.
-
Oh I just got an email inviting me for an interview from Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL)!

Ggsk replied to darthsarah42's topic in Social Workers Forum
I think come Feb we will have news. haha -
Did you apply before 13th Dec or 10th Jan?
-
haha maybe it was that one same quantitative test that was extremely tough that screwed everyone up. For my verbal, I was quite fortunate to have one passage from my first attempt reappeared in my second attempt, though I think I still got it it wrong the second time. yeah I think all the actions will come in feb... well it is only two weeks more = 14 days = 336hrs. haha

I wanted to apply for UW but when i saw they needed four referrence letters, I decided not to haha. Moreover , they didnt have any faculty members with close research interests. I think their application essay was quite tough too. Good for you that you have good qualifications for the application. You should stand a good chance of getting in then! Chicago is a good school "Define problems and shape solution" (i still remember the quote) - i also applied for it. There are no HDFS studies in my country and I definitely cannot be a SW prof with a HDFS phd.

Found another one in 2016 applicants Hi guys, Here are some data that I collected from the past (applicants' self report. Date source: thegradcafe) or was told by the schools. For UPenn, they usually send out the letters between late February to mid March. For UChicago, they usually send out the letters in February (acceptance or rejection), but if applicants do not receive the rejection letter or admission letter from the school, it could be that the applicants are on the waitlist, and the decision will be made in April. For UKansas, applicants will be notified in the late February. For UMN-Twin Cities, applicants who met the first deadline will be notified in the late January and early February (I was notified by the school several days ago, but still no sure what the financial package will be) For UNC at Chapel Hill, some applicants have already received the admission for the Fall 2016 in the late January. However, I have not heard anything from the school yet. According to the past, the school sent out the letters in march. For Boston University, applicants will be notified by the school no later than March 24. Usually, the school sends out the letters in the late February. Anyway, finger crossed.

Processes vary from what i have researched. Some of the programs do not require applicants to contact the professors - so for all my applications i did not. Some applicants get accepted without interviews. Yes, the waiting for an answer pretty much holds up everything in our lives... sigh totally can understand how you feel
-
Unless u intend to finish in three years, u prob have to find sources for the remaining years. Anyway, I am excited that u are excited. UNC's program is really interesting. I have looked at the details of the modules and I really love the focus on social interventions. And u thought u had no chance for unc haha
-
sorry @academicbirb i didnt apply to BC. I dont know anything about it. Essentially for Phd applications, we dont have many people sharing in this forum. Hope other applicants who see this thread will share their applications. what they apply for? their profile? any status updates? etc
-
When will they make the offer? Was the financial package good? haha if you willing to let us know
-
Hi @Ms.SocialWorker we have a 2017 thread for Phd applicants. Why dont you take your conversation there? Assuming you are applying for Phd too.
