How did you hear about the fellowship--via email? I'm not sure how to tell if I got offered anything or not.
Yes, via email.

I received my fellowship offer for UC Berkeley. $12,000 total to be split up into 2 years. I'm very disappointed although not surprised. Definitely doing to decline.

I got an acceptance from Berkeley! The email to check my application portal came at 6PM.
Same! Can you keep me updated on what financial aid they offer you?

Also got accepted to Berkeley. Waiting for financial aid letter.

Does anybody know anyone who attended or is attending UT Austin for their MSW? I would love to talk to them if so.

Does anyone know if Berkeley will be releasing decisions right now? I’m on the admission’s page and it said it will be released the week of the 15th. Does it mean that they will start sending out decisions the week or by that date?
This is what they replied when I emailed, "Thank you for your interest in Berkeley Social Welfare. Admissions decisions always go out in early March and offers need to be accepted or declined by April 15. Please see our website for more details."

Debt... can we talk about it? Haha. I wanted to post in here and ask the forum since we're all attending programs in social work and will have somewhat similar experiences with tuition, cost of living, etc. while we do our fieldwork.
So my question is, how much debt are you planning to go into for a 2 year program and how are you coping with it because I am scared lol and worried it'll be too much to handle! Any kind discussion or advice is helpful.
I am going to Smith and they gave me a good amount of scholarship to go towards tuition, but it's the cost of living in NYC for my field internship that will be the real issue because I will be using loans to cover the cost of living and NYC is expensive. It's becoming overwhelming and I just wanted to talk with other MSW folks about your plans and your relationship with debt.Check out loan forgiveness programs .

I applied to the Bay Area schools ( Berkeley, SJSU, and SFSU). I got into SFSU with a title IV-e scholarship! My interview for Berkeley is next week, but I’m leaning towards SFSU financially.
I applied to Berkeley but haven't heard anything. How did you find out? Is it the 2-year full time normal standing program? Can I ask if they offered any scholarships?

Has anyone heard back from the advanced standing program at UT-Austin yet? I know the deadline was only a little bit ago, but just curious.
I applied for normal standing and haven't heard back yet.

PSA that you can and should negotiate aid. I have no personal experience on this though. I will wait for all acceptance decisions and then email them something similar to the templates below.

Hi there!
I got into Columbia a few weeks ago and received my financial aid award last week. They gave me $16,000 scholarship, which doesn't feel great since the tuition alone is $55,000.Is that per semester? I just got offered $19,000 at Pittsburgh and wasn't sure what the average amount of aid offered was for grad students in general.
-
Do you guys just wait for an email for decisions or do you also check the app website?
Also, should you start applying for fellowships if you haven't decided where to go yet?

Pitt is proud of being a research institution and all of my professors were deeply involved and proud of their research (I was a psych major.) They also have a very prestigious medical school so you get to benefit from some of those resources as well. Also the city of Pittsburgh and the Oakland neighborhood that houses the campus is a great place to live. Lots of cultural events and interesting students from all over.
Wow awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback!!

Yay, thank you for this info! What did you like about it, if you don't mind me asking.

Hey guys. I've finished applying for UT Austin, Berkeley, and U of Pitt. I also plan to apply to San Diego State and Boston U. Got accepted via email to U of Pitt today but no financial aid info yet.

Hi guys,
I know this thread is old, but I'm currently applying to UT Austin for the 2 year MSW for Fall 22 and was wondering if someone would be willing to help me with my statements? Or, if you decided to go to UT, how the program is?

I have a high undergrad GPA but it's not related to the Masters programs that I'm interested in. Can I still use my GPA as a way to tell if schools are a Longshot, Reach, Match, or Safety? My major was English Lit and I had a 3.8 GPA. I'm interested in applying to MSW programs.
