bella.usc Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Hello! I've been lurking this forum ever last year ? so, this past week I applied to USC online MSW program for the September cohort. The priority deadline is June 26th, while the final deadline iis later in mid-July . Class begins in later August, is there anyone else who has applied - and most importantly, is it difficulty to get into USC"s online MSW program vs the on-campus? The admissions counselor at USC used to call frequently to get me to apply sooner, and even offered a fee waiver for my application fee.. I'm guessing that they really wanted my application in, but now I'm wondering if anyone else is applying for this cohort.
merandamae Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Hi Bella, I just got into the USC MSW online program for the end of August.
bella.usc Posted June 18, 2018 Author Posted June 18, 2018 Congratulations! When did you submit your application? And is this for the September cohort (August 28th start date)?
Bean Mash Posted June 21, 2018 Posted June 21, 2018 I applied on June 4 for the September cohort. Haven't heard anything yet. Good luck to you!!
bella.usc Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) I submitted my application on June 6th~ my transcript has yet to mailed to them. I applied to the online 3-year part time program, what about you? Hoping to hear from them soon! I am definitely going to USC if I do get in ?, good luck to you as well~ ?

bella.usc Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 Received a call last Thursday from my admissions counselor that my decision will be emailed to me within 2-weeks time? The wait is killing me, I really hope I get in.
CDelvo Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Same boat, except I submitted last week and I was told I should hear something in the next two weeks
bella.usc Posted July 23, 2018 Author Posted July 23, 2018 Oh wow, that's quick! I hope we both hear good news this week!
CDelvo Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 My admissions counselor emailed on Tuesday, apparently they were reviewing my application and needed more documentation ASAP. I’m hoping I hear something tomorrow the wait is killing me!
bella.usc Posted July 27, 2018 Author Posted July 27, 2018 Tell me bout it, been checking my email everyday this week. What type of documentation did they need? ? I also received a call this past Tuesday again from my admissions counselor that I should be hearing by the end of this week. Just want this wait to be over with ?
CDelvo Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I was already enrolled in a graduate program at another university. I had to provide proof that I had withdrawn from the program/school or write a letter stating that if accepted I would withdraw. This is in addition to the concurrent enrollment agreement that I had already submitted last week. I don’t know if I should take this as good news or bad news. Did you attend the round table tonight??
bella.usc Posted July 27, 2018 Author Posted July 27, 2018 Oh wow, were you in another MSW program? I would take this as good news, not necessarily bad. I didn't attend the round table - actually didn't attend any of the seminars. I am so nervous today- let me know if you get in today!!
bella.usc Posted July 27, 2018 Author Posted July 27, 2018 Received my acceptance earlier & was awarded $20K in scholarship!
CDelvo Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Congrats!!! I haven't heard anything yet. My admissions counselor just emailed me again to ask if I was accepted was I still willing to fill pay the fee. This is killing me!
bella.usc Posted July 27, 2018 Author Posted July 27, 2018 Thank you! You will hear back soon~ I'm sure you will be accepted seeing that you were already in another grad program- it took nearly 2 months for them to get back to me. I'm just so relieved this wait is over. Looking forward to this new, exciting chapter in my life!
CDelvo Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Not going to lie, I did freak out a little bit because I hadn't heard anything yet. I emailed my admissions counselor and she let me know that they are behind on decisions because they had a lot come in at the last minute so I should hear something back by next week.
CDelvo Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 No, I haven't heard anything yet! Have you started to register for your classes?
bella.usc Posted July 31, 2018 Author Posted July 31, 2018 No, I haven't. I scheduled the welcome call from my academic advisor for next week- haven't received any information about registering for classes. Just submitted my field placement application, paid the $280 deposit along w/ intent to enroll.
