Has anyone received any scholarship award?

@Gee_ thank you !! U too! Any recommendation between nyu or Hunter for clinical? yes I am in clinical track @NYCMSW

Interview yesterday and accepted today! Now NYU or Hunter GAH!

Had my Hunter interview yesterday. I think it was very relaxed and informal. It was a lot more conversational and even a nice brainstorming/lesson rather than a strict, formal interview. The questions involved: Why Social Work, How would you react if you were placed in an undesirable field placement, what does self awareness mean to you and then 2 scenarios with no right/wrong answer and lastly a writing section which was probably the trickiest part but still straight forward. If anything, it was hard to go from such a conversational tone to reading and analyzing a scholarly article. I am still leaning towards NYU as I really appreciate their clinical edge. And I am enrolled in the working professional program with a decent scholarship so NYU would ultimately be the cheaper option (if I can maintain working FT). Hope this helps anyone still waiting for an interview date. Love to hear opinions on Hunter v. NYU for clinical/psychotherapy. Happy Thursday All

@NYCMSWyes last tuesday, have you?

MY STATUS JUST CHANGED TO PENDING INTERVIEWW!!!!

yes, you can contact:'pangulo@hunter.cuny.edu' Mine just says submitted - at least yours is headed in the right direction haha!

Hey guys, I am getting hopeless waiting for a response I have been accepted to all 4/5 schools so far with scholarship and not even a response from Hunter.. Anyone in similar boats?

@DivaSW YAY, cool! I see you also got into Hunter? Why are you considering NYU over Hunter if you don't mind me asking? TX!~

Hey All, Anyone going to NYU?

@12sliders CONGRATS!! Good for you, that's awesome! Can I ask - when did you submit your app?

Has anyone who applied to the 2 year program heard back yet or is it still just advanced standing folks? TY!

@NYCMSW CONGRATS!! Did you apply to the advanced standing program or the regular 2 year?

Hi Navers, So I applied to 3 online programs: Boston University, Fordham & Buffalo. Having already a masters, I am extremely cognizant of cost and that was my reasoning for applying to these 3 programs b/c for me the opposite was true. Because of the fact that they are online, I knew I would be able to continue my job (in finance). At the very last second, I applied to 1 non online program (in addition to 1 other non-online program that is only ~25k so I will not even include it in this scenario), and I am leaning towards that program ironically. I was accepted into all online programs and some with scholarship but something about the thought of 'in -person' and developing those contacts and nurturing relationships with professors, alumni and other students really mattered to me when push came to shove. Not sure if this helped at all, but figured I'd share my experience. Best of luck!

I haven't heard from Hunter yet, should I just consider it a no or are they known for getting back to people late in the game? thanks!!!
