I applied to five programs for the Fall 2019 cycle. My residency is currently in Washington State, and I reside in Utah as I finish out my undergraduate. The programs were Utah, UW, USC, Michigan, and Ohio State. Out of those programs, I was only accepted into USC and Ohio State. I was also waitlisted at Michigan. Ultimately, I turned down USC because the tuition was just too much. It was not worth the price. However, I have been looking at Ohio State, out of state fees are still quite pricey but I could do that for a year and go instate for the next. The real question is, is it worth it? Would it be better to work for a year and reapply? My concerns is that if I do that, I may end up in a position where I don't get into my desired programs yet again and find myself in a rut I cannot get out of. However, instate is definitely cheap. Another problem is that there is only three programs in Utah, two of which are selective and one that only admits a cohort every other year. Another school is in the works for candidacy, but the risk of going to an unaccredited program is too risky for me. Washington has three programs, but one of them is a commuter only program and is too far to make feasible. The other program could work, but the housing situation is a mess and I don't want to buy furniture if I know I will not be there long term after graduation and have to move that stuff out. I am trying to figure out what would be my best move here. There is a lot to break down, it's difficult when your states have very few overall options.

Most decisions will roll out between Mid to Late March. So don’t worry! You’ll hear soon. Most of the people that have heard so far seemed to be rejection letters. So you might get in! How many hours do you have? I think I had too few hours and that is why I didn’t get accepted. Only a little over a 1000.

Hello, I just stumbled upon this thread. Congrats to everyone that has been accepted so far! As of right now, I have been accepted into two programs (Ohio State, USC), rejected( Washington University), and waitlisted(Michigan). I wish everyone the best. It is hard because Utah may not get back until May 1 and that is nerve wracking. Not only that, it isn't a program I hear mentioned on here at all.

I'mg glad to know that I am not the only one. I prefer to stay in the west which is where I am from. My apps are for Washington, Utah, USC, UCLA, Michigan, and Ohio State. I saw someone mention Ohio State earlier, if it helps I hear the acceptance rate is high there. About 70% get in each year. I hope to have all of my apps completed before the end of the semester.

Oops, I think I put my original post in the wrong place. I am placing it here since this seems to be where it belongs. Hi, I am applying to MSW programs for Fall 2019. I am super nervous and it seems that I am not the only one around here that is. I am applying to Washington, Utah, USC, UCLA, Ohio State, and Michigan. I will probably be submitting my first apps to Utah and USC within the next week. I am getting some things finalized with my letters. Anyway, I probably have nothing to fear. But it is nerve wracking, Utah is my top choice and it seems like that isn't a school people are talking about on here. Here are my credentials I am a research assistant for a lab at my university. I have presented a poster for the lab and was the first author on it. My cumulative is a 3.42 GPA I have been a TA in the past for an intro to Psychology Course. I have an internship right now that is within the field of social work. I have taken the GRE and while most programs do not care about it, my scores for Quant and Verbal were below the 50th Percentile, my writing was a 5 and at the 92nd. I have also volunteered at numerous places, some important ones to me were my time with the Boys and Girls Club and being a crisis counselor for the Crisis Text Line. Sorry, I guess I am just nervous and it is scary putting all of this out there for people to see. I wish everyone the best during this busy time.
