Hi @Martinez20! I don't have any info about CSULA, unfortunately, but I applied to CSUDH around mid-November and received the email that the social work department was reviewing my application on 1/22. On 2/26 at 8:45pm (had no idea they sent out emails that late on a Friday haha) I got an email saying that I’d been accepted! I’m really hoping that you will hear back soon too, if you haven’t already! Also, not sure if you've seen the California Schools of Social Work MSW Applicant Support Group page on Facebook, it's not specific to the CSUs, but a lot of people on there have been sharing about their experience applying and hearing back from multiple CSUs (CSUDH and CSULA included)! That's where I've been getting a lot of my updates ? Wishing you the best of luck!!

Hi @lil_lil I received an acceptance email from USC on 1/29 and was also very surprised at how quickly they wanted a decision! ? I was going back and forth wondering if I should ask for an extension (I didn't get much financial aid, and I'm still waiting to hear from two other programs), since they wanted my deposit by 2/12. However, my USC admissions counselor sent me an email on 2/8 checking in and asking if I needed more time. I replied yes, that a week would be great, and he ended up extending my deposit deadline all the way until March 5th, which I really appreciated! I'm hoping to have heard back from the other programs by then, but regardless, it seems like USC is willing to work with us on that deadline. I hope your hear back soon and that you'll have all the time you need to make a decision. Congrats on your acceptance ☺️
