Bummer... I wonder if there's a way to fix this. You would obviously save the school some money if you didn't go through the MSW courses again, right? ?
Sorry, I didn't proof read or clarify
my fault! What I meant was... he emailed back apologizing for writing "joint msw/phd". That was a typo. I was accepted to just* the PhD program- no msw. Then he attached the formal acceptance letter where everything is accurate. No msw classes... and if I'm lucky, I will be able to petition out of a few PhD courses because of my DSW course work. Boom.

Sounds like a good idea. Hope you won't have to do your MSW all over again...
It was an error in his email initial email, but the formal acceptance letter has the correct program listed. My stomach was in knots. I obviously didn't apply to a joint msw program... but then I was looking at my application proof last night and looking through my emails wondering if I made a mistake. Rough night... now I'm going to try and enjoy this.

I'm sure it's not just a title; you actually will get both your MSW and PhD in a joint program. So, if you already have a MSW, you wouldn't be applying to such a program.
They have both the joint MSW/PhD and the PhD. Hmm. I'll have to email back to clarify. The irony is I was ABD for a DSW back in 2017. Switched my path... so not only do I have a MSW, but I was told I could petition to have some of my doctoral credits transfer. Which is why I am EXTRA confused by the acceptance letter.

I know this question has been answered (I just can't seem to find it right now), when you are accepted into a joint msw/phd program, is that just the program title? Meaning... I have my MSW but was accepted into the "joint msw/phd program". I am assuming I will not be repeating my MSW again but I wanted clarification.

Loyola and Ohio State said they would have decisions made by the end of February and Michigan State said mid March.
Does anyone else have a countdown on their phone? No? That's cool, me neither.

I have some programs that have already had their interview weekends (and I was not invited) but haven't told me I've been rejected yet and it makes me so anxious. Like, we both know that I didn't get in, but if you tell me specifically that I didn't get in, then I can stop thinking about you.
I was in a relationship like this once.

That sucks. I saw that they sent out some notifications in January, hopefully more are coming. Good luck!
Good luck to you! Did you apply anywhere else?

Yeah, I saw the early Jan. one, but figured it must have been someone who was just a superb candidate! I just looked through their past years and mid-Feb to mid-March seems like when most people who've posted on here got their acceptance or rejection? But it is a decent size school so they might do rounds of admissions? I almost applied to Mizzou!
I've been hyper googling and I think most schools do waves of admissions. I agree, I think this person was just a great candidate and they wanted them! *congrats if that person reads this!!* I had an interview with Mizzou last month. I applied to 2 programs that didn't require the GRE; they were one of them. My scores weren't the greatest so I figured I should create a safety net for myself. They just got approval for four years of full funding. I guess in pervious years they were only able to offer 2. So, was super happy about that!

Great to see a thread for this year! I've applied to University of Denver (DU), Michigan State University (MSU), and University of Maryland-Baltimore (UMB), but haven't really seen many others who've applied to those schools or with updated information.
At this point, I've had a zoom interview with the PhD Committee (well, half of them; they recorded the interview and plan to play it for the rest of the committee) at DU. When I spoke to the program coordinator at UMB, she told me I would probably hear back around the end of February and to reach out around that time if I have not. I've been in frequent contact with professors, deans for doctoral education, and current PhD students at both DU and UMB over the past 6ish months. Haven't heard anything from MSU yet, but seems like it might be around mid-Feb. before I really hear any decisions.
Anyone else heard back from any of these schools by chance? Also, GOOD LUCK OUT THERE!
I applied to MSU. I saw someone was accepted in January. I applied to OSU, MSU, Wisconsin, Loyola, U of I- champagne/urbana, and Mizzou.
