I know a few people who graduated from their program and loved it (one of them works at UT Austin with me), so I hope you get in! I got great vibes from talking with the associate dean for doctoral education and the program coordinator there. I see an admission result for UMB. Strange. They said by the end of the month. Perhaps they are admitting AS they complete the applications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are admitting AS they complete the applications? Possibly (hope so!). I haven't received anything yet, nor does my portal show any changes. Although, I don't know if it makes much sense to admit people as they complete applications, especially if they only have a certain number of spots (they tend to have more available spots than many other schools). Fingers crossed we both hear some good news soon--I know I could use it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bso415 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I know this question has been answered (I just can't seem to find it right now), when you are accepted into a joint msw/phd program, is that just the program title? Meaning... I have my MSW but was accepted into the "joint msw/phd program". I am assuming I will not be repeating my MSW again but I wanted clarification.

I'm sure it's not just a title; you actually will get both your MSW and PhD in a joint program. So, if you already have a MSW, you wouldn't be applying to such a program.

The irony is I was ABD for a DSW back in 2017. Switched my path... so not only do I have a MSW, but I was told I could petition to have some of my doctoral credits transfer. Which is why I am EXTRA confused by the acceptance letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have worked with the new UChicago SSA dean and she is absolutely wonderful as a collaborator. I have no idea about her skills as a dean, but I do know there was some controversy because she does not have her PhD in Social Work. Also @wonderingcosmo glad to hear you got into a good school (Columbia) and are turning down UChicago because I am still waiting to hear about my application!!

The University of Pittsburgh had a new dean came last August, who does not have her PhD in social work and alumni and fellow faculty also have controversy, however, it turns out that she is an awesome dean and the school is getting better and better now.

It was an error in his email initial email, but the formal acceptance letter has the correct program listed. My stomach was in knots. I obviously didn't apply to a joint msw program... but then I was looking at my application proof last night and looking through my emails wondering if I made a mistake. Rough night... now I'm going to try and enjoy this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was... he emailed back apologizing for writing "joint msw/phd". That was a typo. I was accepted to just* the PhD program- no msw. Then he attached the formal acceptance letter where everything is accurate. No msw classes... and if I'm lucky, I will be able to petition out of a few PhD courses because of my DSW course work.
