  1. I am applying for it. I think they mean 2 pages double spaced. But you should call the department just to be sure.
  2. All I know is that it's April 10th.
  3. When I went to visit the department everyone was very warm and inviting. I met with faculty, staff and students and everyone made me feel like they wanted me in the program. With the department being so small, there are great opportunities to really get to know the faculty for research and mentorship. With only 100 students in each cohort, its easier to get to know everyone and develop a support system through the grad process. I am not sure what you are looking for in a program but I keep highlighting support because when I was researching schools that was a really big deal to me. I also like the internship placements but from what I hear they are very similar to USC and some of the Cal States. I have heard that UCLA's curriculum is going through some transitions. I do not know if this would be considered a negative or a positive but I think it is important to note. Ultimately, the biggest sellers for me was cost and location. I could not find a reason to justify paying for USC. I also live on the westside and I wanted to stay in my apartment and not have to relocate my family. In the end, both are great schools. So I think you will be okay with whichever one you choose.
  4. Is anyone planning on applying for the stipends?
  5. What is the merit scholarship? I guess I won't be getting that because I did not even know about it
  6. The awards letter was through the financial aid office so I am not sure if it was put together by the graduate division or the Social Welfare department.
  7. So I checked my provisional financial aid awards letter... all loans
  8. I finally got the email with the official offer of admission from the Graduate Division!
  9. I stopped by UCLA's Graduate Division office today and the person I spoke to said that usually people receive the official letter from them 2 weeks after they receive their letter from the department.
  10. I have not received anything from the Graduate Division either. I really need them to hurry up and send me something because I cannot view my financial aid awards letter until I complete the SIR. But I cannot complete the SIR until I receive the formal notification from the Graduate Division.
  11. I have not received an email from the the graduate division but I emailed Lance and let him know that I was accepting the offer and I plan to attend in the Fall.
  12. Thank you! I am sorry to hear about Berkeley. I can completely understand having to work out the logistics. That was one of the major reasons why UCLA was my top choice. I am from Southern California and I did not want to have to move my family to another city or state. If you get into SF State will you go there instead?
  13. MSWGirl, is UCLA your first choice?
  14. Thank you Inspired 10! Congrats to you too!!! We both took a risk by only applying to one school but it was so worth it because we got in!
  15. I heard yesterday. The email said: Dear XXXXX, Congratulations on your admission to the MSW Program at UCLA! Please find the attached admission letter from Professor Fernando Torres-Gil, Chair of the Social Welfare Department. Save the Date! April 10, 2012 Welcome Day for newly admitted MSW students Go Bruins! Lance Fooks
  16. The wait is finally over! I GOT IN!!!!
  17. I really hope this is the week that they decide to relieve us of our misery and let us know if we got in or not!
  18. UCLA is the only school I applied to and the anxiety from waiting is going to burn a hole into my stomach!
