I was rejected via email today (6/05). Don't know why the rejection took so long but I wasn't incredibly surprised.
-
I am waiting to hear from SJSU still. No update on the website, no email, and no phone call. My only hope is that I am not rejected since I have no news at the moment. Anyone else in the same situation?

Still no news : / I don't know how to feel right now.
I haven't gotten any news yet as well. I chose to believe it is good though, and that we may be on an acceptance call list. I would think that we would have received a rejection or wait list decision by now if it was the alternative.
At least that is what I am hoping!

Hello!
I've received a message saying I've been waitlisted...anyone else in the same situation? I thought today was a day of definitions but looks like for me is more waiting and waiting.
I haven't gotten any information so far today. At least its not a total rejection!

Hi!
I've been quietly following this thread for a while. I got my acceptance call today! They weren't kidding when they said they still let people know at the end of May! For those already accepted, did you get into your desired program? I applied for full time families and children but I can't find any info on whether or not I actually got that...
And for those curious my stats are:
2.8 GPA from Northern Arizona University, BS in Sociology Spring 2014 - but all my social work classes were A's
3 years of working in after school care plus casual weekend volunteering and a few college internships
3 rec letters, 2 from volunteering and 1 from a close family friend I nannied for (she's also a lawyer)
and I made my friend proofread my essay a million times. Not the greatest stats but hey, obviously they were good enough!
Congratulations! My statistics are pretty similar with the exception on having my BA in Psychology with a 3.2 GPA. I'm still waiting however. The biggest problem with my App is not having the last letter of recommendation in until April.
I think concentrations just make up the classes you take more than anything. If you applied for the Stipend program though, that is a whole seperate story, I believe.
Once again, congratulations.

@Ashleyep95 what results page?
Gradcafe has a results page. The person who posted that they were accepted wrote it under california state university san jose. If you can find the results page you can look it up.
-
No news from me, but the results page says someone was accepted today.
-
I looked at the results from last year and it seemed the end of may (like the 26th) was the last results from the MSW program. There was at least one acceptance and at least one rejection. From what I have heard I believe a lot of the rejections come from mail.
-
I just noticed I received the financial aid deferment as well, on April 27th. However that probably just happens after the fafsa is done and the financial aid department gets the information.

"I tried to enter my stats, but my number keys were flooded by a torrent of tears"
on a rejection, "today's my birthday"
What is sad is next weekend is my birthday and I am still waiting on a decision from 2 schools. If I get a decision on my birthday it will suck if it is a rejection.

Another week passed. Anyone else find anything out?

I've had a good share of rejections so here are my two cents:
- Rejections, like coursework, are part of grad school and your academic career. You are going to be rejected so many times in the future that I can't even find a nice sugarcoat for it. You will submit articles that will get bluntly sent back. You will apply for grants that take months to prepare and one day you'll get the horrible letter. Every one of those rejections is going to hurt so, if you want to succeed, you will need to eventually develop some type of coping mechanism. I give myself chocolate.
- Rejections hurt right now because they are too personal. Academia is too personal. You will see that you will be trained to behave like a professional but at the end of the day, you are leaving things aside to pursue this. Everybody knows this. I don't have kids, but friends of mine do and I can see how much at stake they have in their hands. So, of course it hurts! It's natural, it bothers us, but wondering about it, unfortunately, does not make us any good.
- Take rejections as an opportunity. I was rejected from a program that I thought was the program. Great fit, great funding, and extended conversations over Skype with POI. I mean, I just knew it was my place in the world. I was rejected with that cold letter that gives no explanation. That pushed me to the program I am now and I couldn't be happier. I seriously doubt I would have come to this program if I hadn't been rejected in the other one. Also, a rejection is a chance to re-evaluate how you deal with life itself. In my case, I used to cry for a day or two. Then I figured that was a total waste of time so instead I would give myself a nice meal -any of my choosing- and tell my advisors once I had dealt with it. I am surprised of myself!
- Rejections are not shameful. I don't know about you right now, but I am always ashamed of telling my advisor that I didn't get a grant, again. I feel like the ugly duckling who never gets anything. She never made me feel that way and is always encouraging me to move on, but still, I am the only one of her students who didn't get even a tiny grant. This is the hardest part for me, but as I said, I learned to deal with it.
- Being hurt is an emotional response. We cannot control what makes us angry or happy or sad. But we can control how to react and what to do with it. Yes, take your time to be blue, but don't make it your sole response.
Thank you. I got rejected from the masters program for the school I am finishing up my bachelors at yesterday (different departments though,so they don't know me) and it still really hurts. But I am waiting on another decision and thinking of applying to the school my sister went to (UNLV) because applications are still open, although I hate the desert. Some people I was talking to are trying ro comfort by getting me to move on, but I know I need a few days to feel this too. I'm trying to remember that there is always a path we are meant to go on and that I may not be meant to go back to the same University for my masters.
It just feels really bad too because I was told I had a very high chance of getting in and I really thought I was going to get in. I got my hopes up and other people helped me do that. I am glad they believed in me, it's just dissapointing.

Hey there!
I'm still waiting as well, but I think getting accepted is unlikely for me because I am missing the last recommender. I had someone who said they would write it but they ended up not doing so. So at the last minute I tried to have someone else do it but they ended up not doing it either. So I got stuck in a way.
I only applied to SJSU and Sacramento State (where I currently attend for my BA in Psychology). I found out yesterday that I didn't get accepted to Sac State, which really upset me because I had heard that my chances were pretty good.
I have 3.2 GPA, have worked at an afterschool program for 3 1/2 years, have had an internship with a crisis residential program, an internship with the local food bank and family services, and have a bit of volunteer work involving many different things.
SJSU probably would have been my top anyway, but if I don't get in I don't know what I will do.
How do you deal with rejection and this waiting?

Hello!
I am working to finish my grad school applications. I am reapplying to CSUS but for the weekend cohort program this time and I am applying to CSU Stanislaus for the hybrid program. I am currently working at a drug treatment facility so I do believe that will improve my chances when compared to last year.
I was accepted into UNLV last year and asked to defer the decision until 2018 so I already have a school I can go to but I would prefer to stay at my current job which I can't do then.
