I'm on the wait list ... which really sucks. I actually don't know how to feel; I'm not accepted but not denied either. Basically--still in limbo

Hey, I was wondering if anyone is considering or has applied to the USC MSW Advanced Standing for Fall 2012. It's brand new, so I'm not sure if there's any feedback to the program. I spoke with the admission person who's in the San Diego campus; he tried selling to me about applying to that campus. In all honesty, I can't afford relocating. But anyways, I did the math, but I'm not sure if it's correct: FULL-TIME Sem1: 6 units | 2,000 x 6 = 12,000 Sem2: 16 units | = 21,081 Sem3: 13 units | 2,000 x 13 = 26,000 ________ $59,081 PART-TIME Sem1: 6 units | 2,000 x 6 = 12,000 Sem2: 10 units | 2,000 x 10 = 20, 000 Sem3: 13 units | 2,000 x 7 = 14,000 Sem4: 6 units | 2,000 x 6 = 12,000 Sem5: 6 units | 2,000 x 6 = 12,000 ________ $70,000 I rounded it to $2,000 because it's better to overestimate than under. So if someone got a different number to the cost of the advanced standing, please tell me. I'm wondering if I'm the only person who's debating about going with that tuition cost and if the education is still high-quality, especially since the field internship is only a couple of months. Would we really be benefitting or learning much? Since it's a brand new program, what should or can we expect as guinea pigs? Any feedback is appreciated.

CSULB is notorious for not getting back to people as late as June just FYI, so you guys who are waiting might want to plan ahead just incase anything happens. One of my friends didn't hear back till late May. Best of luck to you all!

I got a hold of admissions today and it seemed that there is 3 separate system that doesn't update each other, so Lance updated his system and told me I'd be hearing back from them tomorrow. Best of luck to you!

I checked my status and they still haven't made a decision yet. Is anyone else in limbo as well?
