Hi everyone,

I just received the offer from UCLA yesterday. The program directer sent an email following with a phone call. 

Also, I had my interview with the UW in Seattle on 01/28, and still waiting for their decision. 

BTW, Anyone knows/receives anything from Columbia University? 

These are the 3 programs that I applied this season. 

Wodislah142, I am interested in what your stats are. I will be applying to schools this fall (for the Fall 2021 cohort) and UCLA is my top school! I feel like it's a pipe dream so I'm curious if I have a chance.

[Pursuing a PhD with kids]

Hi all, I'm new here! I have been researching and preparing to apply to PhD in Social Work programs this fall (to hopefully be admitted Fall 2021). I just found out my husband and I are expecting! So, my question for PhD students out there: is it possible to start and finish a PhD program with little ones? What's it like? Are there family-friendly PhD programs out there? Do you wish you waited until your kids were older to pursue a PhD or is it easier when they are babies? Just looking for experiences and opinions on this.
