MCSW23

Wow! What! That's awesome! I'm shocked. I applied then, too! Was financial aid info involved?

my hands were SWEATY but she complimented me a lot. it seemed good.

That's what I think I may do. I'm nervous!!

Definitely. I guess I just want to make sure that I won't have to put in an unreasonable amount of work for what I want to do. Like NYU and Denver offer a study abroad in Mexico which is where my focus is for research, but UPenn doesn't. They do offer an individualized plan but like.. if that's going to take up so much of my time to even plan then is that worth it? Idk. I'm just nervous I'll sound so uninformed.

I have my interview with Penn in about 3 hours. What questions should I be asking them? I understand what they tend to ask me, but I want to make sure I interview them to get a good feel of whether I'd fit in.

I haven't been accepted to Columbia (yet? hopefully), but the process that CU has put us through really left a bad taste in my mouth for the two years that would follow. Alternatively, NYU clearly said not everyone would know until Feb 22, and wouldn't tell you even a guess at the timeline of when you'd know back. They also didn't accidentally tell us that we were accepted when we were lmao.

Definitely does NOT mean you're stupid or unworthy or anything! My stepdad was the dean of a grad school for a while and said sometimes people have great apps but they just don't have the right staff for them. My professor said the same thing earlier this year. She told me that if I'd applied at KU that they would've rejected me purely because they felt like they didn't have adequate advisors or anything for what I wanted to do. This whole process is really not indicative of you as a student, as much as it is the school's reading and analysis ability on students.

I applied Jan 11th so almost an exact month. This adds a whole layer of complication as I thought I was going to decide on Denver but now I have more options.

Thank you! This morning I woke up and had the unshakeable feeling I’d know something today and apparently this was it

Just got accepted to NYU!

I am STILL waiting on CU. At this point I’ve written them off and have all but committed to Denver. That’s even with an interview with Penn on Thursday. Waiting has been such a blow to my self esteem that I found myself questioning grad school in general.

I finally gave up on that last week LOL. I decided that if somethings going to happen, it’ll come in an email and I can have a panic attack then but there’s no point in driving me anymore insane than I’ve already been

Anyone going to the admitted day on April 3?

I emailed a while ago and they said by Feb 22nd for everyone, I guess.

You submit with the 2018 tax info. I filled out my fafsa when it opened in october. It’s largely the same as undergrad but you only account for your income. It’s independent filing.

yeah. my feelings are hurt though in a weird way. like... idk. not cool on their part.

“Thank you for your email and your application. To be transparent, our team has been working behind the scenes to prepare our various sites for admitted students. The appearance of the link was not reflective of your admissions decision, as it was accidently added to all pages. We apologize for the confusion.As always, students will receive an email alerting them to their decisions on their applicant status page. Our team is working hard to review applications and we hope to continue releasing decisions throughout the upcoming weeks.I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.” the email response

I wanted to go “you’d better rush order my decision now” My portal also has those changes though.

You have every right to be angry and pissed. Your situation is unique in a way most of us can’t understand. It’s downright shitty how these processes work, especially with people who have struggled at different points for any reasons. Missteps are counted, and at the cost of many, regardless of whether or not it’s their fault. You deserve to be in any of these places as much as anyone else, if not more for pushing through. I’m sorry it’s playing out like this, and I think you know that this is not on you. Your feelings are absolutely valid. I’m frustrated and don’t even have a disability.

So I called CU about the issue last night and they said honestly they have no clue why that happened and are looking into it and will call or email me back later today once they figure out what went wrong. I asked if I’d been waitlisted or rejected and they said “Nope, you’re still under review and no decisions have been made whatsoever.” so.. take that as you will everyone else. She did not sound too excited about the situation and even said she’d seen my email wanted final confirmation before saying anything back. edit: i’m taking it as informal waitlisting lowkey.

Just emailed CU about the issue last night. We’ll see what they say.

I would but I’m at work. Maybe when I get out in 30 ?

Should we call and leave a message?

Because if we weren’t admitted it’s gonna suck big time that they accidentally told us so

I feel like I have a big bad feeling about this ?
