No not yet. I didn't quit yet but now re-thinking my plan over here. Not sure how they can do placements during covid. Anyone else thinking about deferring for a year? ha

"Congratulations once again on your acceptance to the Silberman School of Social Work! As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has created an entirely unprecedented situation, including having an impact on our field placement process. Because of this, for any of you working in social services, we would like to explore the possibility of creating an employment-based field placement, to ensure both continuity and learning in your first year at SSSW. It is very important that you first submit your field practicum planning form provided by the Admissions Office. Once we receive the form, we will assign you to an Assistant Director who will assist you with your placement process. If you are in such a position providing social services, please reach out to your assigned Assistant Director so we can explore this possibility as a field placement further. Thank you in advance and, once again, welcome to Silberman! Sincerely, Kanako Okuda" Not sure why you can't open it but here is the letter.

Thanks! I got it with my acceptance letter actually. I attached it below. Anyone else receive this too? hunter.pdf

Hey all, I applied back in February and finally heard back for an interview in early May and finally got accepted to the 2 FT program at the end of May. Was actually planning on quitting my current job (SW dept of a hospital) and doing FT program. But due to COVID and the letter from Director Okuda about arranging employment based field placements, I have been re-considering. Anyone else in the same boat? I have been trying to call/email Hunter for more information and see what that would look like but they never respond. Anyone have any info? Thanks and congrats to everyone!
