Has anyone heard from Columbia?

It'll definitely be slow. Has anyone visited UPitt?

I know we typically will not hear back about funding until mid-Feb.

Just starting a thread for those who have been admitted to the Pittsburgh MSW program. Also, to any Alumni, how is the program? What about typical funding?

I applied for advanced standing as well!

Just got accepted to Rutger's University for advanced standing!

That's really odd! I submitted my application before they switch everything over, so they just gave me the new log-in but they have all of my documents. I am sorry that happened to you!

I received an email stated if your application was completed and LOR were submitted, then you don't have to do anything. So you shouldn't worry, but if it helps, call them tomorrow. Congrats on your admission to CSULB!

Just email them! They told me I have an extension until Feb 1st and to email them again if I need another one. Congrats on getting in as well!

I have until March to accept the offer. I am going to wait until I see what they give me for funding. Plus I applied to other schools, so I want to see if I get in and what they will offer as well.

I want to say I got an email the same day or the next day saying my application is complete. I would email them to double check! I had a few issues with my portal, so I was in communication with them about that.

Congrats!!! NYU is super fast! And yes, I won't know about funding for Pitt until Feb or Mar., but NYU is definitely in my top 3. How do you all plan to make your move across the states? I am thinking of plans now, so I am not struggling later. lol

I kept getting emails about my letters needing to be done, that's why you are probably getting emails. Once you application is complete(with letters) you will receive an email I believe stating all your materials are submitted and you'll get a decision in 4-6 weeks (probably quicker than that).

Thank you! And yes, I logged in and saw it at the top of the application that there was a status update and it gives you a link to click. I received the email telling me there was a status update a few minutes after I check the portal (great timing lol).

I just got accepted to my top choice at Pitt!

Just got into my top choice at Pitt! Super excited.

I am sorry your professor is being like that. I am not a PhD student, but does your school have an Ethics board? The professor is borderline breaking Code of Ethics (at least he would be at my university). And men never truly understand but that is their loss if they cannot understand pregnancy. Ultimately, make the best decision for you! Good luck!

They usually allow you to extend the decision! Especially if you tell them you have not heard back from other schools yet. That is what I will have to do with NYU since that is my first acceptance.

You sound like a strong applicant! I figured if I finished my applications early enough I could get a response early. lol My top choice is Pitt, they said I should be hearing within the next week. However, I am keeping my options open to whoever may give me the most money. Some of them go by GPA, which mine isn't the highest but I have a lot of experience. And as far as applications, most of them I just swapped out the school name and tweaked a few things. However, I started working on those in the summer time because I figured I would have a super busy semester. What is your school of choice?

Once you finish your Columbia app, NYU will be a breeze. They ask pretty much the same questions. The longest part for me was writing my case example. I gave everyone a deadline to have my letters in. Worked perfectly. Also, do not be afraid to ask for a fee waiver, you may have to provide a reason why. I have not had to submit a application fee yet for any of my apps (I am very resourceful). GPA: I transferred twice so my cumulative is around 3.20 for all three schools but at my current schools it is a 3.4, my major GPA is a 3.85. GRE: Did not take SOP: Pretty Strong LOR: the two standard of advanced standing (From advisor and field instructor), then my professor who has a PHd and my community service coordinator. . Experience: Internships at a Residential facility, over 2000 hours of community service. I am not sure what else to put. lol

Hi all! I am currently in my senior year of my BSW program. I am still finishing a few applications but I did complete four apps from NYU, UofWash, UCLA, & Pitts. I received my acceptance letter today from NYU! Super exciting! Good luck you all!

I just got my acceptance letter to NYU Advanced Standing! With a $15,000 scholarship!

My application to UW, Pitts, UCLA and NYU are officially completed. I am waiting on recommendation letters for the others. This is already nerve-wracking.

I figured I would go ahead and start a thread for those that are currently in the application process for Fall 2018! I applied to University of Pitts, University of Wash, UCLA, NYU, Columbia, Rutgers, and my safety school Indiana University (where I currently attend for my BSW). Feel free to join in the discussion!
