ealk22 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Did anyone here apply to SFSU and hear back yet? The wait is killing me. I applied early (ish) so that certainly doesn’t help my impatience.

Glad I’m not alone!! I ended up emailing the social work department to find out when they send out acceptance letters and they told me it’ll happen at the end of March/early April.

I keep refreshing Gateway/ my email! My friend is in the program and heard back around this timeline. I also heard notifications are sent out 10 weeks from the admission date. Stay strong!
mindy123 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 does anyone have any insight into nyu vs. fordham vs. columbia? traditional 2 year msw track
tjs12220 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Accepted into BC. Will be attending. I am really excited!
FeministDreams Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Thank you for creating this space! I just got accepted into the University of Chicago and Columbia University for a Masters of Social Work program. Is negotiating your funding package as a Canadian student 1) appropriate 2) possible? Thank you! verosanchez 1
PurpleHippo321 Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Hey all- I visited Fordham and NYU this weekend. After the visits, I think I will be headed to NYU in the fall! Wishing the best of luck to you all! Stace718 1

Location, resources, and the helpfulness of the administration all seem superior to Fordham! Also for anyone attending NYU in the fall, did any of you get some kind of welcome/ next steps email after submitting your deposit? Haven't gotten one yet but just submitted the deposit about an hour and a half ago!

Haven't gotten one yet but just submitted the deposit about an hour and a half ago! I submitted my deposit. Got like 10 emails within the first week so they should be coming. Nothing about applying for classes yet. I called admissions today but the field placement forms are online.

norvos90004 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I was waitlisted at one MSW program that will start accepting people from the waitlist starting April 16 and ending June 1. I was admitted to my next choice MSW program. It requires me to submit a SIR (statement of intent to register) on April 15. Is it "OK" to sign an SIR for one school and then (if I'm lucky enough to get into the other school) go to the other school? I don't mind losing the $150 deposit. Should I tell the school where I've been accepted that I've been waitlisted at the other? Should I tell the school where I've been waitlisted that I've been accepted at the other?

I think some schools can give you an extended date before you accept or make any deposits, all you have to do is ask for it. Do you mind sharing what schools you're thinking about?
Kaytea11 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Hi guys! I applied to the SFSU MSW program and was rejected I am still waiting for Sacramento state and San Jose (both full time two year program). I'm dying waiting it's actual torture. I got some financial aid info from Sac state which has me hopeful but I don't want to get excited until I know I'm admitted.. You guys hear anything about sac state? My number one pick was sjsu for a while but I've recently changed my mind to Sacramento and I cant really find anyone else who applied there!

katface Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Hi everyone! I'm going to be a clinical track student and am deciding between Boston University and University of Washington. Can people provide input/resources to help me make the determination? Anyone willing to share why they chose either program? I'm moving from the Midwest, and will be taking out a lot in loans to pursue my MSW. Cost of living is also going to be a huge financial shock, so I really want to be sure that I'm making the right choice. Any input is greatly appreciated!!
Neep Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 I got my acceptance letter for West Virginia University's online MSW program! Anyone else? I am debating on starting this fall or next fall. I can defer for one year. I have four children. My youngest will start school right after I graduate, if i put it off another year. But if I dont put it off and start this Fall (2019), then he will have a year of full time daycare while I work and Im just not sure what decision to make. Anyone with insight>?
miler95 Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 I HAVE A $$$ QUESTION! I am trying to decide between a couple of schools. I received an email from both of them with "Financial Aid Decisions". For both schools I am only being offered loans. I noticed a number of you have posted about awards from different schools -- did those awards come separately from such an announcement or am I just screwed? Will I hear about some sort of help from the schools in the next couple of weeks??
v.oye Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Decided on Rutgers NB! I started a thread for any other people who decided they'd be going there so we could ask questions/get to know each other https://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/117857-rutgers-new-brunswick-msw-2019-2021/?tab=comments#comment-1058691423
bayareamelaninsw Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Hello, I am a MSW candidate for two schools for MSW programs starting Fall 2019. Applied to: SFSU(San Francisco State) & (California State University, East Bay). I have been waitlisted at SFSU as of last week! I heard about the news via email, which was quite exciting because SFSU MSW program is quite competitive. They only have 30 availabile slots versus other schools who admitted 70-110 applicants. I have not heard from CSUEB MSW program. However I know I will receive notification from them via mail, just not sure when. Good luck everyone! All money In! The Marathon definitely is continuing. Edited April 4, 2019 by bayareamelaninsw
pickle1102 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Congratulations!! I was waitlisted for the MFT program, which I had mixed feelings about but have also heard it is quite competitive. Any idea on when you'll hear back? Congratulations!
