I have no idea how long the waitlist is. Crossing my fingers for us both!!! ❤️

Hi to all my fellow SFSU applicants!! I'm sending big hugs to all who are processing rejections. I got rejected from Berkeley earlier and it sucked crossing my fingers that you get into other programs! CAMSW21, I also got waitlisted at SFSU! The email said I was "top of the waitlist"...wondering if that's what they tell everyone ? lol. Did they tell you a ranking? I wonder what the chances are that we get off the waitlist. I'm crossing my fingers for us both!! <3<3<3 More waiting, oh joy!! Honestly though, I am deeply humbled to have been waitlisted, the applicant pool this year seems REMARKABLE and I'm feeling imposter syndrome wrt my waitlist status. But whatever, I'll take it! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE and sending loving vibes to everyone here!!

exactly - he said 13 spots of the 358 were reserved for the title IV applicants - an extremely selective acceptance rate, yowza! Here's hoping ❤️❤️

Hi beautiful people! Cross-posting this from the Bay Area MSW thread. I just wanted to send out a plea lol. If you have decided on a school that you're set on committing to, but still have your applications being considered at other schools, pleeeease consider rescinding your application from those programs you're definitely not going to (or if you've already been admitted, letting them know ASAP to offer your spot to someone else). I know it might feel good to get a few more acceptances and I know the curiosity factor is real (like, you want to know if you'd get in even though you're not going to commit), but in reality it also might be delaying the good news and decisions that others are waiting for. It seems the application pool was extremely competitive this year. This of course is in no way meant to be pressure anyone to commit to a school/program you're not sure about if financial offers are still being considered, you're undecided, location is an issue, etc. I just mean for people who are like "YES I got into the school that I am definitely going to commit to," please consider letting other schools know that you're going somewhere else. I say this because I got this response from the director of SFSU re: decision time line for NON-title IV applicants... "So, this year we considered 345 direct practice applicants for only 27 spots. We have sent out our first few admits and will send out more next week. As we hear back from people, we will begin to draw from the waiting list." Good luck to everyone still waiting and huge congratulations to those who have received acceptances! ❤️

Cross posting this from the larger MSW 2021 Applications thread, forgive me for my laziness ? Hi everyone! This is my first time posting It's been so helpful to tap into this community (even shyly as a lurker from the sidelines lol). I really appreciate all the camaraderie, support, celebration, and compassion on this forum. To all those who've been accepted to programs, sending y'all the hugest congratulations! To all those facing rejections, my heart goes out to you!! And I feel your pain - I was just rejected from my top choice (Berkeley) but trying to stay positive as I await to hear back from SFSU. The feeling really sucks, there's no denying it... BUT trying to remind myself that no university can determine my worthiness or my aptitude for greatness - something I hope we can all hold true in our hearts. We will all be amazing social workers some day, if we choose to continue on this path! I believe with every fiber of my being that this year was a BANANAS year to apply to MSW programs, I believe the applicant pools were more competitive than ever before given the pandemic and everyone being flipped on their bottoms, making big life moves, and entering into school and going deeper into helping professions as a response to the crisis. I'm wondering if anyone who's applied to SFSU has heard back yet? And if so, were you title IV? My understanding is that Title IV applicants probably hear back sooner, as they also have an interview involved (I did not apply for Title IV). I've found less info floating around from SFSU applicants. Thanks in advance for any insight! Crossing my fingers for everyone still waiting on decisions, and sending y'all lots of love! ❤️
