SocialResearcher replied to SocialResearcher's topic in Social Workers Forum
Just spoke with admissions rep at Penn, said decisions are still pending and should be made within the next 2 weeks. So far behind previous years! -

Was accepted to USciences Health Policy PhD program today, with a focus on substance use. No word on funding, but it was nice to hear something back! Still waiting on Penn; a poster on the results said decisions are supposed to come out next week sometime. Wishing everyone continued good luck! -

Sorry to hear that! I’m sure you’ll get a favorable result before the season is over. -

I applied to Penn, but have not gotten an interview. Seems to be uncommon to get an interview request from Penn looking at the results, but who knows how accurate that is. -

Fingers crossed notifications start coming out tomorrow (or next week)! Keep us posted if you get the phone call or email (especially if you hear from UPenn @gandma) -

Looks like Berkeley is starting to send out acceptances too. Hopefully we all start hearing back from schools in the next two weeks. Good luck all! quick update on UPenn: had an email convo with the program director who asked me to send a list of my publications with impact factors listed. Took it as a good sign. -

Congratulations! More than likely, it will be a focused around two primary questions - tell me about yourself, and tell me about your research interests. After that, the remaining time will be for you to ask them questions. Be sure to brush up on the POIs research if you know who the interview is with, as well as why you want to do your program at UoW. Also, don’t forget to breathe, talk slowly, and just be yourself. You’re going to do great! -

Not necessarily. Looks like blanket rejections come out in early February, with formal acceptances in late February. Congrats on the interview @gandma!
