  1. Hi everyone! If anyone on this thread has been accepted to Hunter College's Silberman School of Social Work, feel free to dm me to connect!! If you're in the 2-year clinical practice method, we've started a groupme to connect
  2. okay cool!! if people are interested/comfortable with creating a groupme for the 2 year clinical practice method cohort to connect, feel free to dm your number and i can create a groupchat for us
  3. would people in the 2 year clinical practice method want to create a groupme or something of the sort to connect? just a thought
  4. I received my welcome package email and in the email was a pre-orientation website link so I reached out to advisors listed under there but I was told to just wait for more information to come through. I'd love to connect btw since we'll be in the same cohort
  5. Hi everyone! I just received my welcome package via email last night. There was no mention of orientation at all in the email, but mention of pre-orientation. Am I supposed to register on the pre-orientation website? This all feels so messy and disorganized especially when I previously reached out, I was told to not worry and wait for instructions, but now they're saying I should have the immunization record form done and they should receive it by Thursday along with the fact that I can't register for classes until orientation and the forms. Registration is in less than a week......
  6. Ahh I never got a financial aid email from them
  7. Has anyone submitted the immunization record form to Hunter? If so, how are we supposed to receive or EMPLYID that identifies us?
  8. Does anyone know how long the wait is supposed to be for your financial aid package/welcome packet? I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be doing right now after sending in my enrollment/acknowledge form. Quite anxious about it since I know we're supposed to register for classes soon.
  9. Do you know if they only send out financial aid packages after you accept the offer?
  10. Hi everyone!! I interviewed on Thursday and I got accepted today!! Hope everyone else hears back this week. Would also appreciate some advice because my heart wants Boston University but for financial reasons, my brain said I should do hunter. I want to become a LCSW and provide trauma-informed care and advocate for survivors of sexual and relationship violence. Hunter has a mental health specialization with few options for electives while BU has a trauma and violence specialization, flexibility with courses, and faculty immersed in the work I want to do in the future.
  11. Literally me too! I've pushed all my other schools back for a month and those dates are coming up. Now when I reach out to Hunter's admissions, they get rude and say they're doing their best already. it's so frustrating
  12. I interviewed last week and I was told that they would let me know by April 1st the latest because I have to deposit for BU otherwise. But I have heard nothing and I emailed and tried the online chat but there was no one. It's just kind of frustrating that their application timeline is so long and slow compared to other schools.
  13. I was really committed to Hunter being my first choice because I'm from NYC and because of its cost and program. I did hear that Hunter is only respected within NY so I'm not really sure how true that is. My parents advocate for private programs because of funding issues with public schools which is also a concern of mine seeing how Hunter has a lot of issues with that. What I love about BU is that they have a trauma and violence specialization and a lot of faculty that are involved with SRV work which Hunter doesn't have. There's also more wiggle room in the courses you take. I am worried because BU is so expensive. Thank you for your input!
  14. Hi everyone! I've been checking this forum for the past 2 months but never posted. I submitted my application on 1/27 and it was completed on 2/1. I reached out on 2/24 for application timeline because I have offers from UAlbany, Syracuse University and Fordham University. They never responded. On 3/12, my application status turned from submitted to pending interview. I received an email on 3/16 to schedule a group interview, but all slots were sold out or didn't work for my academic schedule. I emailed them on 3/16 but did not receive a response. I emailed the general grad admission email who gave me an email of a direct person on 3/23. I received a phone call immediately after emailing said person and was offered an interview slot this morning (3/25). The interview was a facilitator, a professor, and a total of 5 applicants. We were asked to introduce ourselves and what work we're doing in the social welfare field, followed by 3 scenario questions, and the interview ended asking us what difficulty we see in the transition to pursuing a MSW and how we plan on mitigating it. The interview lasted about 50 minutes. There was a writing sample that is due tonight by 11:59 minutes and there is 90 minutes to complete it. I finished it with about 30 minutes left. Not too confident about my interview or writing sample. I hope they let me know soon as I have been accepted to Boston University as well and need to put in my deposit by April 2nd. I'm also having second thoughts on Hunter being my first choice in comparison to Boston University and Fordham University.
