Glad this helped!! Yea, it definitely wasn’t clear to me why the 3 digit course codes I was originally entering wasn’t yielding results... wish they made it more clear!
And I’ve heard good things about Katz, Henry, and Lawrence! I’m taking a class with Katz as well (on Tuesdays at 2pm I think), so maybe we’re in the same one!

Thank you so much, honestly didn't get this info and not sure I would have been informed of that. I really appreciate your response!

I'm also 2 year! Thanks for your help. I clearly should have attended orientation haha

I sent my form in early May and I just heard from my advisor on 5/17. During the 5/13 pre-orientation meeting, we were told we should be hearing from our advisors in the next 2 weeks, so you should hear back sometime soon! FYI I’m a 2 year full time student. Advanced standing students should’ve heard from their field advisors already (though if you were just recently accepted, that may delay things).

Hi everyone! So very excited to meet you all. I was wondering if anyone has begun their field placement process yet and might have insight. I am waiting on a school year address but have at least narrowed down where I’m going to try to live, and was advised to submit with my intended borough/neighborhood. Has anyone found a data base or list on what placements are out there, or considered tailoring parts of  their resume and document to reflect what setting you’d like to be in? I’ve been working in a related field in California the past couple years and am coming back home to New York but must admit I’m pretty unfamiliar. It seems that they place you based on previous experience but I wasn’t able to attend the pre orientation.  
PS does anyone live in BK? Is the commute hellish for 9AM’s? (I know it’s a huge area and this is a hard question to answer) but where’s  everyone commuting from!?

Congrats to everyone that got accepted. I got accepted for advanced Standing. Hope to see yall soon

I think the only way to figure out professors/times is by navigating the student center on cuny first and look under “search for classes”. I think there are pdf tutorials available, but your best bet would probably to just play around in the system. Look for Fall 2019 semester -> Hunter College -> School of Social Work and then input the following course numbers:
70150 Policy and Services I
71150 Human Behavior I
71700 Social work practice lab
72150 Clinical Practice I
76100 First Year Instruction
And yes, everyone does the M, W, F field placements from 9-5, though if you have other commitments/depending on agency needs, your times may vary. Classes are only Tuesdays and Thursdays.
 

FYI Accepted students day: you really didn’t need to go. The professors briefly talked about field of practices and then we were dismissed to mingle with each other (which was cool, but not crucial!)
Pre-orientation (I had mine 5/13): mainly discussed how to register for courses, field placements, and fin aid. Pretty useful, especially if you’ve never worked in the cuny first system before! See notes below: 
Hunter Important Dates:
    ◦    May 16- class registration begins
    ◦    Aug 30- mandatory field placement overview session
    ◦    Sept 9- field practicum starts
Let field placement form know when you’re gone during the summer because that’s when background checks happen
Within 2 weeks from today, we should hear from field placement advisor to set up in person or skype interview
3.0 gpa min to maintain federal loans (gpa and completion rate of completing courses on time)
For fin aid purposes: Professional judgment—you have a meeting to discuss changes in employment status. Not an easy process. Lots of forms to fill out.
Fwsjobs@hunter.cuny.edu (you fill out mock form and it’s a first come first serve basis)
Nextgen (where all jobs are available + where scholarships are)
Bursar (sends bill) vs Fin Aid (distributes loan)

Hey! So you were were correct. Here’s the response from Juliana Lopez below in case anyone else is wondering the same!
“Accepted Students Day is more of a social event to meet other students and faculty. Pre-Orientation is designed to guide you in registering for classes and provide you information on what to expect for your field placement.
We encourage you to attend both. If you can’t attend Pre-Orientation please let me know and I will send you an electronic guide.”

I had asked someone in the office and it didn’t sound like either were strictly mandatory, but she highly encouraged me to attend both, or at least pre-orientation. I think pre-orientation is more important, since they’ll review class registration stuff. Accepted students day seems more for networking/connecting purposes (from my understanding!) 

I'm down too!

Me! I’m super excited to meet others too  everyone on this forum has been so helpful and supportive!
If anyone is interested in grabbing drinks or something after the event, hit me up!!

I used to live in East Harlem last year, actually right around the corner from Silberman, and I used to love this BBQ spot called Harley's Smokeshack, its on 116th between 1st and 2nd, great food and a really chill vibe, so that's an option. But, i'm down for whatever others are in the mood for/other suggestions too! I'm sure we'll figure something out in person.

Yay, ok! Hopefully others will chime in too! We can get some sort of group text set up, if that’s the case  I don’t know the area too well, but can look into nearby restaurants/bars (though open to any suggestions people have!)

Thank you, that's very kind of you. I reached out to the school and they confirmed my admission.

Ah, yes! I am also going in as a full time student.  I also just recently submitted my form so was super curious about how everything works. Good luck to everyone on getting good placement!  

Yes, I am. I hope you guys hear something back soon ?

I think @Yve_ is an advanced standing student. I’m entering as full time and I haven’t heard anything from my field advisor yet—I did also just submit the form last week. Hope that helps!

That’s awesome to hear!!! Glad you’re having such a positive experience!

Absolutely!! My field education officer offered me three opportunities that were EXACTLY what I wanted. I hope to continue to have a positive experience, but you never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What a rollercoaster of emotions—sorry you had to go through that!! I haven’t heard of this happening before, but if you wanted to put your mind at ease, you could try calling the office and confirming your acceptance letter. I hope it all works out in your favor!
