Sunset95 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 This is starting to feel like a sorority initiation. Our task is seeing who can wait the longest?

doctormelody Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Would anyone that was recently accepted mind sharing some stats?

I never received an email saying my status has been changed so id recommend checking the portal! Good luck yall Expand 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?

OliviaRose Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Has anyone who applied advanced standing heard back?

Despite my best efforts I am panicking hardcore, lol. Expand 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. Edited March 13, 2018 by lanabeni honeynut and doctormelody 2

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

Expand 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
Sunset95 Posted March 13, 2018 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

I was also really depressed when I tried to volunteer with them so I'm sure that didn't help matters.
