I never received an email saying my status has been changed so id recommend checking the portal! Good luck yall What does your portal look like? I want to make sure I am actually looking at the correct thing. Is it it where it basically shows your application status and a green check next to everything that is in?

Despite my best efforts I am panicking hardcore, lol. I earned an A.S. in 2013. I graduated with two bachelors in fall 2017. One was a B.A. in psych and the other was a B.S. in an unrelated field. My cumulative GPA was probably 3.8ish, but when I transferred for my bachelor degrees I graduated with a 4.0 for those. At the time of my application I volunteered on a crisis text line for 6 months, at-risk youth for 1.5 years, and worked full-time in a residential treatment facility for 6 months. I felt my "stand out" in my application was my heavy research experience though. I've been involved for 2 years and had a publication and presented posters at a few conferences. Lastly, I'm also a veteran and incorporated those experiences in my statements.

Sidebar: I volunteered with Crisis Text Line for a few months and really didn’t like it. I felt really restricted in the way that you have to respond to texters, it just felt very inorganic - I am curious to know if you had a similar experience at all? lanabeni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are new experiences for me, so I honestly didn't know what to expect. I didn't do well in high school and dropped out of college to join the military, so I applied slightly older at 28. Honestly, I love crisis text line. I can understand the restricted way to talk to texters, but there is some room to give it a personal touch. They have specific ways to talk to high risk people and I just utilize those. I always hit up the supervisor for advice when I'm stumped with a texter and they are always super helpful. doctormelody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset95 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Reading the stats from everyone who got in definitely has me in panic mode. I see why I've been waiting so long? doctormelody and Kat_MSW2018 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also really depressed when I tried to volunteer with them so I'm sure that didn't help matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty cool with you taking a break or needing to do other stuff. doctormelody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
