Hello,
I have my interview on 5/20 and kinda nervous. Any tips for someone who doesn't have any experience in social work? ?
If you read through the thread there are a few people who have interviewed and described their experience with it.
I didn't have to interview, but I haven't been part of the social work field for as long as others so I understand your nerves. My advise is to concentrate on why you decided to pursue your Masters in Social. Read over your essay if you need a reminder of the answers to the questions you were asked.
Good luck!

Hello Everyone,
I applied to the OYR program and my application is still on "pending interview". No status change and the last time I spoke to Philip Angulo (enrollment manager) he just provided me vague information. Something along the lines of "you should hear back middle of May or the end of May. I am highly concerned as I know that many of you fine people have already been interviewed and so forth. Is it safe to assume that I did not get in? Anxious as my extension for my decision for SBU ends Monday and well NYU is June 15th I believe.
-Random individual who applied as well
Not everyone is interviewed. I wasn't. If I've learned anything from this whole application process is that you have to be your own advocate. And try to get everything in writing. While a bit unorthodox, I've learned that you'll hear from the school sooner if you CC a few people in your email along with your intended party. That way if one person doesn't respond, somebody else will and if you have to send a follow up email those other people will be aware of it.
The intention is not to get anybody in trouble or to be annoying, but to let the person you're contacting, and the school in general, know that you're serious about wanting to attend. If you don't advocate for yourself, nobody else will.
Good luck.

Hi guys!
does anyone have the method community organizing and planning ? I would love to connectHi everyone. I'm new to this thread. I will be joining you guys this Fall at Silberman. I wish I had known about this thread earlier. I could have really used the support back in March when I "just knew" I had ruined any chances I had of being accepted to Silberman.
Long story short, I freaked out when I got an interview invitation and then couldn't even interview because all the spots were "full." I didn't realize that that was a glitch in the system at the time and panicked. I managed to get somebody on the phone and I guess he was tired of speaking to people because right after he explained it was a glitch and my application was still being "processed," he hung up on me. I thought I had annoyed him so much that I was going to receive a letter of denial at any moment.
It's a little bit funny now, but not so much back then.
Anywho, I'm a two year student and my method is also Community Organization Planning and Development for anyone who would like to connect.
Despite being accepted last month, I just got an email yesterday about the pre-orientation. Apparently there is one May 18th and another May 19th and then the New Student Orientation is on the 25th.
For those of you who have already attended the Pre-Orientation is there anything truly important you think I should be aware of?

Hi. I received a financial aid award on my regular email address and then a “revised” one in my hunter email with instructions. The “revised” one was the same amount. I hope this helps.
