MSW_bound2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I know this is ridiculous because it totally depends on so many factors, but I'm in freak out mode... Can anyone who was accepted share brief stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahlah Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) @MSW_bound2018 Hi, I just got accepted this afternoon into the aging concentration. Honestly, I did not at all expect to get accepted into Berkeley! My GPA is only a 3.1, however, I believe I wrote a really strong personal statement and statement of purpose. I have 4+ years of work in nursing homes as a medication technician and lead care manager. I also have an internship right now with Kaiser Permanente in their hospice department. My references were from my sociology professor/advisor, LCSW I worked for, and the head nurse of the nursing home I worked for. I am completing my bachelor's degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology at CSULB. I also think it helped that I have done a lot of research. Because of my degree in sociology, we had to conduct our own researches in school, and I heard that because Berkeley is very research-based, they do like research experience. So yeah, totally excited to go to Berkeley!! This is seriously like a dream come true. I literally started crying when I got my acceptance.

I was so excited and had to leave my work space when I got the email. Needless to say I was in the stairwell crying! I don’t think you should count yourself out just yet, they accept 90 people and I doubt they sent out all notices today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the bath when I received the email which really fueled the drama of the rejection lol Edited March 8, 2018 by lostxoco ChicanaMSW2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw what do you think about the clinical practice of UCB? I could barely find much information and even the curriculum online doesn't show the elective...

Between what schools are you deciding? I am strongly leaning towards Cal. It makes the most sense financially and for a lot of other reasons for me. Plus it’s also an amazing program and school. I’m still not sure how I feel about the new curriculums though. I wish I knew more about them. If you’re looking for a school that specializes in clinical practice, I’m not sure Berkley is your bet. At least not from what I understand. It definitely depends on what your options are though. I also don’t think Cal is going to set you up for failure in a matter what you do.

Terra_R Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, I was received a waitlist offer on March 6th. I have been eagerly awaiting a notification the last few days for a potential spot in the newly admitted class for fall of 2018. UCB is my #1 choice and it would be a dream to be admitted to their MSW Program in their Health Concentration. Hoping a spot may open up for admission! Positive thoughts and wishes to anyone else who may be eagerly awaiting good news. Edited April 17, 2018 by Terra_R Kat_MSW2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
