MSW Fall 2019 Decisions!!!

[Capturedvitality]

I was around 4,000. I am really leaning towards NYU but I want to know! I didnt get into UChicago but so far got into other good schools never know what they are looking for. 

[strawberrycows]

I applied to the Day program on Dec. 30th and nothing yet. I should be hearing back soon...

[WRJ]

I just got accepted by UNC Chapel Hill! I applied 12/11 and heard back 02/21.

Still waiting on a couple of others but really excited to finally hear back from somewhere! 

[Thisisadisplayname]

Hi everyone! Been lurking the forums since I submitted apps back in December. Anyone else hear back from Berkeley? I know they told us to expect a decision notification in March but I received an email this morning notifying me that I was placed on the waitlist. I applied for the strengthening organizations and communities concentration (formerly management and planning) which I understand is small to begin with. Just checking in to see if anyone got an admissions offer or if I was placed on the waitlist prematurely. 

So far I’ve been accepted to Columbia’s online program at the beginning of this month and got an extension for my deposit until March 30 while I wait for USC (online), SJSU, and SFSU. (It’s excruitatingly painful to wait on California decisions.)

It is!!! I shared this in the UNC thread but I majored in sociology and gender studies in undergrad. I have some research under my belt and a published thesis. I went to a non-traditional college, so I do't have a GPA. I didn't submit GRE scores either. I've been working at a repro health + immigrants rights non profit for the last 2.5 years and volunteering as an abortion doula on the side. 

I also just heard back from UC Berkeley and I was accepted! I applied by the deadline and heard back today 2/22. I'm so excited!!

Hi, I was accepted into Berkeley’s  Strengthening Organizations and Communities specialization this morning. Wish you the best of luck!!

[verosanchez]

I was accepted for the Strengthening Organizations and Communities specialization too! Any idea how big that program is? I think I originally applied to A-Well but was recommended for admissions for SOC.

Hey congrats to everyone!! It's so awesome seeing all of these acceptances! I've been lurking for awhile but just made an account. So far I got into Simmons and BU, I'm still waiting on BC. Has anyone who applied after 12/1 heard anything yet, or know when we can expect to find out? 

[mswlbg]

Yesterday, BC emailed the admitted class apologizing for the early deadlines they had incorrectly set with its acceptance (Feb 18 for me and then only extending the deadline to March 4). Citing the CGS Resolution, they said the earliest they can actually impose a deadline on their decision is April 15!

I want to go ahead and just share with y'all the link to this resolution because I know there are quite a few colleges violating this resolution and not giving us enough time to thoughtfully make a decision with all of our offers at hand.

Congratulations! I hear only 10% of applicants go into SOC and that the cohorts are pretty small. I’m waiting for someone to start the UC Berkeley MSW class of 2021 page so we can get a better sense.

I was rejected from Berkeley last night too. I don't want you to feel alone because there's got to be many of us! But we don't know until we try. Congrats on your acceptance to CSUEB!

Hey! Congrats on the acceptances! I applied to the same 3 programs and waiting on BC. I applied after 12/1 and the email I got said I would hear by March 15th. Hopefully we will hear before that seeing BU wants a deposit by the 8th!

I emailed them about when we’ll receive that info, so I’ll keep you posted if they respond (though I submitted my fafsa in December, so I should hear back sooner) !
