I haven't heard back from lehman college at all! I applied to nyu too i called and the lady said my application is under review. I will most likely attend Hunter. Please let me know how the interview goes for Lehman. 

I definitely will! Lehman was the last school I heard back from. They’re really slow. When did you apply to both schools? Also pay attention to your because Lehman calls instead of emailing to schedule the interview and they call on a blocked. Lehman did tell me that they review their application on a rolling basis. So if you submitted it later that might have been why. I also think they started doing interviews really late compared to hunter. What track did you apply to for hunter?

Hey guys! I have my interview soon and I am pretty nervous. Can anyone provide some insight and shed some light as to how the day went? What questions do they ask? Thanks!  

I just submitted my application today and should have my LORs submitted in the next couple days and hopefully will have an interview soon. I decided on applying to Hunter a little late in the season, but I'm still really hopeful. I'm in UG in Chicago and all the other grad schools I've applied to are in Chicago. Hunter was my on New York school.

I have a 3.8 GPA, 1.5 year of peer mentor experience for a counseling program at my school, and 1.5 year experience of being a college coach for a non profit. I also started a full time job as a service coordinator for early intervention but started it after submitting my application so i didn't get to write about it in my essay but i spoke about this experience at the interview. I'm not too worried about my stats since I got into NYU and Columbia and have an interview for Lehman. But, I don't think believe i did that great on the interview which seems like they weigh more heavily than anything else.

Has any one received their financial aid package from Hunter yet? I'm curious how much they offer in scholarships (if anything) and what the loan options look like. I'm 95% sure I'm going to Hunter but I want to be sure of exactly what I am getting myself into before I put down my deposit.

Congrats on getting accepted! What questions do they ask? Is it really hard?

They ask 3 questions and have you read an article and react to it. The questions are: tell me about yourself, what's your social identity and what do you do when you meet someone that doesn't have the same social identity as you, and to say what would you do in a what if situation. The interview isn't hard. I just felt like with the questions they asked they didn't get to know me.

Hey i wanted to let you know how my interview for Lehman went! i felt a lot better with this interview and its less intimidating. they asked 3 questions: what are you doing right now (like with school or work), what is a policy or procedure at your school/work/volunteer site that you would like to change, and a what if situation. They also made us write.  But, it wasn't reaction to an article like hunter instead they asked us to write about why we're pursing an MSW. They also give you alot of time to ask questions. And you're interviewed by the admission director and the director of the program. They did say they are a really small program so they have a cap on how many students they can admit and that they review applications on a rolling basis. So if you really want to go to Lehman i would give the admission director a call. She's really nice. I can give you the phone number if you want

I am happy to hear that it went well for you. I do not think I will be attending Lehman college though. I have my eyes set on Hunter. It was my number one choice

Did anyone that already attend an interview just get another email inviting them to a group interview?

Thats weird. If u already did a group interview why did they email for another group interview? Must be something wrong at their end.

I was just accepted, and my interview was on 4/2, for reference. Shortly before I was accepted I too received that email asking me to come in for another interview and then another saying to disregard if I have already come in for an interview.

Hey I had my interview two weeks ago and still haven’t heard back! I keep checking online everyday a couple of times and it just says pending interview 

It does usually take a week or two. If you check up with them and tell them you need a response asap, chances are they will at least change it to "review" or if you're fortunate, to a decision.
