Waitlist people!! Will you keep me/us posted if you hear anything? Thanks!

Question: do we think that when we/applicants merely call to check on the status of our application, it's 'annoying,' for lack of a better word/negatively impacts the odds of our acceptance? I was waitlisted but can't stop fixating on this. I called a few times to ask about my application's status, though I never gave them a deadline. Anyone have any insight on this one?

No worries! I received the email at 5:22pm today. I hadn't checked the portal since a couple of hours ago, so I can't speak to the amount of time between the portal change and the email.

I received an e-mail informing me that my application status was updated. After you click "Submitted" on the portal, the next page indicates you have a decision to click-on. Hope this helped!

Hi friends! I was waitlisted. Does anyone have any insight as to how the waitlist process works? Is there a particular 'order' by which applicants are admitted? Thank you to anyone who can provide insight. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear.

Jan. 17th. I called admissions, and they informed me that my application is with faculty and in the final stages of review. Keep you posted.

No, haven't heard yet. I'm anticipating this week or next. Truly on the precipice of having an aneurysm.

I wouldn't worry at all! You have a great GPA and valuable volunteer experience - Crossing fingers for you!!

What are your stats! I'm sure they're great.

Hi there! Any career switchers on this thread (i.e. transitioning from an unrelated field to SW)? Hope everyone's staying warm!

Im literally having a heart attack. Lol

Hi guys, so I'm clear: residential, 2 year priority applicants (those who applied November-December 1) are still waiting for decisions? Jeez!!

Hi guys! I've been following this thread since early Feb., but only decided to make an account now - because I'm dying over here! I submitted my application on Jan. 17 for the for 2-year traditional program with a concentration in clinical practice. I'm considering walking over to CUSSW's admissions office and asking about application statuses in person - is this inappropriate? I have no gauge. Appreciate anyone's input... hope everyone's staying warm!
