I disagree with this thought process because there are at least two variables that are not being addressed. We are in a global pandemic, those previous years were not dealing with the logistical changes that this may have or may not have causes relating to admissions. Second, out of 600+ estimated applicants to this MSW program, how many use gradcafe forums? Are they a majority of all applicants? There may be other people that dont use this forum that may have been accepted beyond the dates that you stated. I really do appreciate you letting us know your findings and taking the time to search and analyze old threads to help us, I am confident that it comes from a good place
