[CSULB Policy Concentration]

Hi Lisbeth,

I plan on turning my applications in tomorrow and Tuesday at the latest. I applied to the same programs last year but was waitlisted and never got off of it. Hopefully I'll get in this time around. I have more experience in the mental health field than when I turned in my applications last year (I now work at a mental health agency) so hopefully that will help. I revised my personal statement and got a stronger letter of recommendation too.

I really want to get in. Good luck to us!

Hey what made you pick CSDH over long beach I am having a hard time picking between those schools

[MSW to Sociology PhD]

I am going for a MSW and I plan on getting a PHD after I serve time in the field I think it is possible but if you have no interest in SW at all a MA is more your fit

[CSULB Applicants]

There is Hope I was on pending status and just got in keep the FAITH!!

[Cal State LA and Cal State Dominguez Hills]

I applied to both CSUDH and CSULA I got in and now im trying to figure out with one I would love to attend im sure you will hear back soon GOOD LUCK!!!

[CSUDH and CSULB]

CSUDH... the old saying says - one bird in the hand is better than two in a bushel. I prefer DH because they offer the community mental health component. LB only has CYA and gerontology... I am interested in neither.

I got in to CSUDH as well and I love the area and the fact that they offer the classes needed to obtain you License, But I also got into CSULA and they have a very well known program but dont offer classes need for you License. So I am having a hard time....

[How is CSUDH MSW program and CSULA Program (Compare)]

my goals is to become a children youth and Families social worker and later earn my PHD and become a professor or my earn my LCSW and go into private practice...I guess I am asking how does the academic opportunities offered at these school compare...ie networking job offer after graduation, and which school would be right if I want to transition it a PHD program or become LCSW in the future,

[CSULB Applicants]

Sheesh that sucks i am on pending status....

[Low cost state school MSW students]

Yes, I agree about being fiscally responsible, and I like the idea of taking a stand and sending them a message!

But, can anyone also let me know their thoughts about my last point - possibly going onto get my PhD and the role that an ivy league or private school plays in that?

I have similar goals and I really dont think so but then again im not sure, However I do know that paying a lot for your masters then paying more for your PHD can be a bummer I would whether get my PHD from a prestigious school down the road.

I am try to figure out which one would offer the most opportunities in the Social work profession

[Cal State MSW's - which are better? Is USC worth the $?]

Hey Charm, I am thinking about attending Cal State LA also, has anyone replied to your question above about the program? I would also like to know of someone who has experience with the program and how that's going for them.

Thanks!

No one has got back to me but my counselor said CSULA MSW program is one the oldest program in cal and it has a great rep. I got into USC but it is to expensive and CSULA program holds just as much weight but I am trying to decided between LA and CSUDH because you can get your Social work license from there because they are one in 3 of the campuses that offer the classes you need for your license in their MSW program. Have you decided what school you are going to? we might just be COHORTS =)

[Cal State MSW's - which are better? Is USC worth the $?]

Hey got in to Cal State Los Angeles MSW program and although I am waiting on other schools I am hecaa stoked!!!!....I hear this is a good program does anybody have personal eexperience with this program program or know how the community (food, shopping,entertainment) is around the area. Also I would like to know more about CSDH program if possible thanks
