Anyone here who applied to CSUEB? Is it true that they mail out their decisions and that's why it takes so long? I stalked some of the forums las year and saw that people started getting letters in the mail around Feb 23rd 

 

I applied to CSUEB. I hadn’t heard about snail mail response but I’m not surprised given that they were the only place I applied to that wanted the application materials in hard copy. C’mon decisions!!!!

Ugh dying on the wait for University of Chicago, UC Berkeley and UW Madison. Has anyone heard back from those schools that applied mid Jan (and end of Nov for Berkeley)? I know the results will be out theoretically for Berkeley next week... maybe........AHHHHh

 

 

Still waiting for UC Berkeley. Eek! Let’s hope whoever posted here about February 22nd was right. My fingers might fall off from being crossed this long!!!!

Y'all Columbia barely gave me any scholarship money. These schools are all SO expensive, how the hell are we supposed to fund this?? Do we just take out loans?

Just curious how much you got in scholarships. I’m waiting for mine.

I got into Columbia’s online MSW program!!!! (Submitted 11/30. Application complete email from them 12/16. Notified today via email link to portal at 2:49pm Pacific)

Waiting to hear from UC Berkeley, Cal State East Bay, and San Francisco State, before I make a decision but woot woot!

When I look at the application online it just says submitted. I check it about 5 times a day wondering will it ever be updated. Did anyone apply for the online MSW AT CU? I’ve also called and have had no response. 

I applied for the Online MSW at CU by the priority deadline. I still haven’t heard anything. *fingers crossed*

 

(I’m also waiting to hear from UC Berkeley, Cal State East Bay, and San Francisco State University.)

I am applying to 4 MSW programs:

- Columbia Online MSW - submitted 11/30

- UC Berkeley - submitted 12/1 - I was rejected by UC Berkeley in 2018 but I've done a ton of volunteer work since then to be a more appealing candidate.

- California State University East Bay - due 12/16 - waiting for my last letter of recommendation - eek. They don't have online application submission. You have to actually send the materials in hard copy. So strange.

- San Francisco State University - due 12/31 - waiting for my last letter of recommendation - c'mon recommender!

I'm so relieved to be done with all the essay writing and resume work...

Let's see what happens!

Hi!

I am applying to UC Berkeley which I am extremely interested in and USC which I am less interested in.

Does anyone know how long UC Berkeley usually takes to respond to apps?

Also I've done a ton of research (or tried to) and what I can see is that Berkeleys acceptance rate is around 20% and Columbias is around 60%.   Given that they are similarly ranked, this seems crazy to me...am I missing something?   =

Thanks!

When I applied to UC Berkeley School of Social Welfare MSW program in 2017, I was notified of my admission status on March 7, 2018. (Spoiler alert: I was rejected.)
