Same. At least they made my decision easy. I'm going to pay my deposit for Pitt when I get home!

No problem! Congrats to you too!

It might be because I requested information before I started an application. I got an email inviting me to my personal page. My application portal doesn't have any new information. And I still haven't received an email or anything. I will try to take a screenshot when I get home.

It was on the homepage where it usually thanked you for your interest.

If you applied to BU, go check your personal webpage from when you started your application. Mine says I was accepted!

I've been refreshing my e-mail and my portal, and I haven't had anything yet.

Pitt has slowly changed from my last choice to my first. I've been debating on going ahead and accepting my offer instead of waiting to hear from BU. More than likely I will probably wait though. I attended my 2nd information session this weekend, and it has reinforced my belief that the program is a good fit from me. I've had the same issues trying find much discussion about Pitt's MSW program here or on Reddit.

Good to know. I am joining the information session online this weekend just so I can refresh on the fellowship applications.

December 6th for me. Thanks!

Congrats to you too! I feel like the wait for BU has been brutal! At least they said they may be sending out decisions earlier than the end of the month.

I think that's a good place to start! BC is my 3rd choice with BU and Pitt tied for 1st right now. Hopefully you can get more! Plus it looks like they might have other aid opportunities since the letter also mentioned filling out the Graduate School supplemental form.

I did enjoy the confetti! I got a $10000 per year scholarship. I've never done the asking for more thing, so I wouldn't know where to start. If I get the nerve up, I might see if I can use this as a bargaining chip for a bigger scholarship at Pitt.

I just checked my portal after seeing this and I got in as well!!! I haven't received the e-mail yet, so if anyone applied for the January deadline, check your portal!

I've been accepted, but I didn't get the e-mail about the admitted students lunch. Do you mind sharing when it is?

My scholarship information was in my letter in the mail. They said FAFSA-based financial aid would be sent out later.

Waiting is the worst! I already feel like the mid-to-late February admissions decisions are too far away. I'm a Administrative Assistant in a high school right now, and our social worker is a life-saver! I have a BS in Education, so if I ever did decide to go the clinical route, school social work would definitely be what I would lean towards. Educational policy is definitely one of the areas I am interested in.

I applied for macro programs. After my 1st semester, I might also apply to do a dual MPA program. I want to work with policy or community planning and organizing. You?

I applied to Boston U and Boston College too! My e-mail from Boston College (applied on 12/6) stated that I would hear back by 2/15. The e-mail I got when I submitted my Boston University application (applied 10/24) stated end of February.

I got an 8,000 scholarship from University of Pittsburgh without a lot of background in social work. They have several fellowships that pertain to the health field that have money attached to them.

Did anyone else get into Pitt? I got my letter in the mail yesterday and it says something about viewing/accepting your admissions online, but I don't have any info on logging into my my.Pitt account for the first time. I'm not ready to accept, but I want to look around the site a bit.

The email I got when I submitted my application said late February.
