I submitted mine on the due date ? I was going to wait until the next application cycle and then decided about two months before that I was going to apply this time around. From what I've heard, it doesn't quite matter when you submitted it! Sounds like you put a lot of time and effort into your application though so I'm sure it will be fine!

This whole process is definitely driving me crazy! I saw on a Facebook group that someone reached out to SDSU admissions and they said not to expect decisions until April-June, which to me seems like such a long time?? I'm hoping that they start coming out this month instead though! Did you guys apply to any other schools?
-
Nope:( I check my email like 40 times a day though lol. They're supposedly going to start sending out decisions this week and continue through mid-march. Some people who received an offer for Title IV heard back a few weeks ago and I think a few regular applicants heard back late last week as well. We should hopefully be hearing back really soon!

Sounds like you have some great experience under your belt!:) Congratulations again, that's so exciting!! And yes, I'm hoping to hear back within the next couple of weeks here! I think for Berkeley they'll start sending them out this week and then through the 15th! Going to be an exciting couple of weeks for sure!(:
-
Congrats on the SFSU acceptance and stipend, that's so exciting!! Would you feel comfortable sharing your stats and when you heard back from them?
-
Wow congratulations!! That's so exciting:) I haven't heard back but hopefully sometime next week. Would you feel comfortable sharing your stats? Like GPA and experience in the field?
-
I reached out to SFSU's admissions team, they said they were hoping to start sending out decisions in early March, so we're almost there! They also let me know they have 40 spots this year and received 358 applications
-
how exciting!! SFSU is my top choice for a couple reasons. I absolutely love the city of San Francisco and the campus as well. I also am looking to go into child welfare after I graduate and their program offers some good classes for that. Furthermore, the bay area has tons of opportunities for field work and job opportunities, so I feel like it's a great place to become involved with the community and have a great choice of potential social work experiences while in school, and after it as well. Their website doesn't have too much information unfortunately, and I'm not sure how research focused they are, but I'm looking to go into the clinical route so I feel as if it's a good match for me!
-
Hi! I actually just email them about 20 minutes ago and they just responded to me. They said they will be sending out decisions starting early in March, and then throughout the month. He also let me know that they received 358 applications and have room for 40. Looks like a pretty low acceptance rate this year but fingers crossed! It's my top choice

MSW Applications UCLA, CSUN, CSULB, and CSULA (Fall 2021)

I'm on a facebook group with other people and some people heard back today! The anxiety continues ? -
Hi everyone! I saw this information posted in another thread and thought maybe it could be beneficial to people who check this one. UCLA's Luskin department tweeted on 2/10 that they would start sending out admission responses in 2 weeks, so around 2/24, and that they would continue sending out admission decisions through mid-march! My anxiety has been crazy lately so it's reassuring getting some definitive answers!

Hello! I also applied to SFSU. I had found something that said they try to send out decisions 4-6 weeks after the application is forwarded to the department. My application was forwarded on 1/11, so that would mean it's getting close! The waiting game anxiety is real lol. Would you feel comfortable sharing your stats? I know sf state is really competitive and would like to compare myself to other applicants to see where I might stand! I also applied to UCLA, which is supposed to start notifying by the end of this month, and SDSU is supposed to in March I believe!
-
I also though it would be less people applying this year, definitely makes me more scared:( I did see that also! I noticed that one of my documents uploaded wrong a few weeks ago and I reached out to the admissions team about it, and mentioned the Feb 2nd deadline. Based on what the woman was saying, it didn't actually get extended and they still required all documents to be submitted by Dec 15th, so I'm not sure why it switched on Interfolio. I'm really worried too, it's one of my top choices! Fingers crossed for us both:)
-
Hi! Separate from CalState apply and interfolio, they have an admissions portal where it will state your acceptance. I type in to google "SDSU admission status" to google and it pops up under a page called "I have already applied". From there you login with your RedID and password and click on admission status! And I'm extremely worried as well. I just graduated from undergrad last year, I have a 3.9 GPA but only two years of experience so I'm not sure how that will compare to other applicants. I wouldn't worry though, GPA is definitely not the only thing they consider!!
-
It shouldn't lessen your chance but I'm under the impression that most schools review the applications in the order they were submitted!

I applied on the deadline date of all my schools too, I'm anxiously awaiting responses but realistically feel like it'll be another month before I hear ?
-
Thanks for responding! I was wondering like what GPA you had and what experience you had! It's my top school so I'm just looking to compare where I fall with other applicants
-
Thank you for the update with sf state! Would you mind sharing your stats of when you applied to sfsu last year and what the result was? I know it's a competitive program but I have no idea what's even considered a "good" application for grad school. Thank you!
-
Hi! I only applied to SFSU in the bay area, but it's my top choice! I haven't heard anything back but my application was sent to the department on 1/11 and I read that it usually takes 4-6 weeks after the department gets it.
-
I graduated last spring as well! I double majored in Psychology and Criminal Justice with a 3.9 GPA, Cum Laude and Honor's List. I am hoping to work in a more clinical setting, so my experience is a little different. I volunteered at a Domestic Violence shelter for a year in undergrad and for the past year have been working as a counselor at a non-profit in the bay area. I am a little worried that my experiences don't quite add up to other people's and that I may have to apply again next year, but it's so difficult to know what these schools are looking for! Good luck!:)

Oh boy! Thanks for your response. If you don't mind me asking, what are your personal stats? I'm a recent graduate and am worried about who/what I'm going against in the applications.
-
Hi! I hope that you are enjoying the program! I have applied for Fall 2021 admissions and am driving myself crazy with anxiety about it. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your GPA/experience that you applied with to see how I compare to admitted students? Thank you!:)

Hi everyone! I've applied to SFSU, UCLA, SDSU, Portland State and Chicago. I'm anxious about acceptance rates since I haven't really been able to find much information on them, if anyone has any info on that it would be greatly appreciated! I would love to share personal stats and talk to other people applying to the same schools so I kind of have an idea of who else is applying! Also, has anyone heard back from any of these schools? Thanks!:)
-
Hi! I also applied the the SDSU MSW program! Has anyone heard back yet? Also, does anyone know what their acceptance rates or what their typical class size is? Thank you!:)
