Anyone heard back from CSULB?
-
Still haven't heard from CSULB... even getting someone from Admissions on the phone has been challenging. Ugh!
-
Sooo.... haven't heard anything yet. Already thinking about a concelation prize!
-
I'm waiting for a response too. Let's hope they send them out soon! Do you think we'd really have to wait til May to hear back from schools? That's a LONG time. =(
I will consider myself lucky if I hear back from them by May. I summitted my app on the deadline date. A couple of years ago my friend applied and was waitlisted. She didn't get an official admission until ONE week before Fall semester started. I'm really hoping I hear back from them by May though. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

still no response from CSULB!
This sucks!

Hey,
I'm go glad i found this forum! I was going nuts trying to see if anyone else had heard anything.
Congratulations to everyone thats been accepted.
I've applied to CSULB and SDSU for their 2 year msw programs.
I literally turned them in on the deadline.
Has anyone heard back from either of these schools?
Hey!
I only applied to CSULB and literally turned in the app on the deadline. I haven't heard anything except that they have received my app and that it is currently under review. Best of luck! Both SDSU and CSULB have great MSW programs!

Thanks MSW BOUND!
I've got experience under my belt...lets just hope it will suffice for an acceptance letter! Ha ha Staying positive, staying positive! The power of positive thinking compels you!

50k + in student loans is not worth it for an MSW. An MSW is not a very high-paying profession. I would stick to in-state tuition. And def do your homework to the programs that are available in NY. I've heard great things about NYU's program but like I said, not worth a ridiculous amount of student loans. Maybe some stipends? scholarships? Might want to look into that.
Best of luck.

Also, what concentration did you apply for? And was it the advance? 2-yr, 3yr prgram? Any stipends? Sorry for all the q's//
I just received my CSULA acceptance package in the mail today! Yay!!!! I'm a little worried because they need me to let them know of holding a spot for me by March 5th - that's like in 2/3 weeks! I Haven't even heard from other schools!
Hey! Congrats on your acceptance! Looks like you've been doing very well! Do you mind me asking for your stats? I'm only applying to CSULB and I've read that some ppl have received a rejection letters and others have been accepted. Just want to get a better idea on what CSULB is basing their admissions on...
Thanks!

Received an e-mail from CSULB MSW Dept. They have finally confirmed that they have received my app and that they will be reviewing it shortly. Don't know what my chances of being admitted are but I'm only hoping for the best. I'm already thinking of a consolation prize.

This is my first time applying to grad school and only applied to CSULB. I just received an email today notifying me that the MSW dept. has now received my app and that they will be reviewing it shortly. I'm starting to get a little worried because the people who have already received an admissions letter from CSULB have impressive stats. I didn't know how competitive CSULB was going into the process. If I would have known, I would have applied to a couple more CSU's. Yup, the wait sucks!
Best of luck to you guys!!

I applied to CSUDH, CSULA, and CSULB.
I turned in my applications for all three programs mid-October. CSUDH offered admission in December and I accepted. Recently I received a rejection letter from CSULB. I haven't heard from CSULA yet.
I'm really excited for CSUDH's mental health concentration. I know MSW BOUND has also accepted admission there. We will be in the same cohort. Anyone else apply to CSUDH?
Cheers,
Eileen
You didn't get in to CSULB? What are your stats if you don't mind me asking? I'm a little worried, I turned in my app two days before the deadline and I still haven't heard from them except that I've been cleared from Enrollment Services. I only applied to CSULB so its either all or wait till next year's application process :/
-
So I called CSULB yesterday and they said I should get an admissions decision within the next 5 to 15 weeks...... 5 TO 15 WEEKS??? ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME?!?!?
UGHHHHHH.......
I know, I know, CSU's are much harder to get into than private schools, (Columbia has something like a 50/50 acceptance rate) because state schools are far more competitive than private institutions. (Lets face it, getting an MSW for a near $100,000 is so ridiculous, who wants to take on that kind of debt for one of the lowest paying career paths? Stupid.)
I just want to know. I don't want to wait around until June or possibly July to receive a rejection. And no one has heard a peep from my top choice.
The waiting game is making me bitter.
Yup! Same here! What makes it worse is that I only applied to LB!! Blaaaaaah!!
-
I turned in my app on Jan. 30 and I still haven't heard from the MSW Dept saying they have reviewed my app and that its complete. I just checked my status online and it only says that it has been cleared from Enrollment services and that it is now being reviewed by the dept. Now I'm really getting worried...
This is no bueno! -
Geez! Impressive!
SDSU grad c/o 2010
Major: Criminal Justice
Minor: Sociology
GPA: 2.95
(Current Experience:
Full-time Mental Health Worker/Case Manager for non-profit counseling agency in San Diego County for over a year...
Part-time Residential Supervisor for non-profit transitional home in San Diego serving former foster youth...
Bi-lingual, bi-cultural...
I started working right after graduating... trying to build my experience. Working an average of 60-65hours a week= no social life or time to volunteer. I have participated in the past couple of AIDS walks in L.A. but didn't put it down as volunteer experience. I was a student-athlete during undergrad so I hardly had time to do any volunteer work. I'm planning on applying for the CAL-SWEC stipend but need to get admitted into the program before I can apply for it.
I applied for the 2 yr CYF program...like you, but knowing your stats...and comparing them to mine... now I'm more anxious that before! Not feeling so lucky anymore. Wish me luck!! :/
-
I'm curious about your top choice.
I just got accepted into LB but hoping to get accepted at UCLA and CSULA as well.
Hey! When did you hear back from CSULB? What concentration did you choose? Did you apply for any stipends? What are your stats? Sorry for all the q's... I just want to get a better feel about what my changes for admission for CSULB will be? I turned in my app 2 days before deadline... :/
Thanks for your time!

My top choice is SDSU. I really want to get into their 2-year direct practice concentration. I have done a LOT of research, and for the price, SDSU is the best CSU. It is a generalist direct practice, which I want, because I want to work with the military/veterans. CSULB is an excellent program, I just have no interest in working with children or older adults.
I also applied to CSUN, which I would rather go to over CSULB too just because the concetrations are different from CSULB, even though Long Beach's program is better.
I completed my undergrad at SDSU and a couple of my friends will be graduating from SDSU w/ their MSW's. Great, great program! I didn't apply there simply because SDSU is very competative and what can I say, I was a bit intimdated. I'm really hoping to get into CSULB...it'll be nice to move back to my hometown for a while. When did you receive your acceptance letter from LB? What concentration did you apply for? Any stipends?
-
Yeah, I thought it was really weird that they were requiring a stats syllabus. Luckily, I still had mine from 2 yrs ago. The wait is seriously giving me some pretty bad sugar cravings! I think what makes it worse is that I only applied to CSULB... we'll see how it goes.
Anyway, good luck w/ your apps and hopefully something works out for ya!

Hey guys!
I'm applying to CSULB MSW- 2 yr CYF concentration for Fall 2012 Admissions...
I submitted my application 2 days before the deadline ( I know, poor planing!) And was wondering if anyone applying to CSULB has heard anything from the Department?
Wait list? Rejection? Admission?
-
Hello. CSULB received 1,200 applications last year. Its a very competitive program. Some of my friends who applied last year got a response by July or early Aug! YIKES! They have a wait list and a lot of students get in after they are wait listed. If I could remember correctly they admit approx 170 students? Not sure on this one. Sorry I don't have an exact number but its approx around this amount.
CSULB received my application Dec 15 but they went on winter break soon after. So I'm assuming they got to my application by Jan or Feb.
The waiting game is killing me but I am trying my best to be patient. I am waiting to hear from some other schools as well. Good luck!
Thanks for the info!! Yeah, the wait has been stressful! Let's see how it goes... I'm really keeping my fingers crossed. Early August?!? That sucks! Especially for those that will need to relocate like myself (if i get in!) Thanks again and good luck!
-
I've applied to SDSU and CSULB and still no response from neither. I'm hoping that's a good thing? Good luck!

Hey guys!
I decided to take my changes and only applied to one school- CSULB. I've only received an e-mail stating that I've been cleared w/ Enrollment services and now my application has gone to MSW Dept. for review. The wait is giving me some serious sugar cravings!
Anyway, I'm not really sure how competitive CSULB's MSW program. How many people do they normally admit to the 2-yr program?
I summited my application 2 days before the deadline, so not really sure if that's going to affect my changes. Is anyone in the same boat as me?

When did you summit your app? At least you know where you stand. I haven't heard anything since the dept. told me they have received my app. I need to know no later than June whether I got in or not so I can start applying for the CAL-SWEC stipend. The anticipation SUCKS!
