I applied back in November to CSUF, CSUN, SDSU and CSUSM and I am trying to see if anyone has heard from these programs as far as admissions!? I’m going nuts checking my email and logins ! 

Only applied to CSUN out of this list, was interviewed last week, but it seems like their interview process may be over months!

I'm not too sure about the MSW at SDSU, but for the MA in psych, I know they just started reviewing applications! For the School counseling program, interviews were already conducted.

I sent in my application on January 10th and got an email of Feb. 14th. My interview is next Monday 2/25 and I am extremely nervous. Wishing you luck girl!

Congrats @mswguy! If you don't mind sharing the following, what cohort did you apply to? Is this program your top choice? If pertinent, did you apply to other schools? 

Thanks @MSWDUDE19! I applied to the 2-year on campus program. It’s definitely one of my tops! I’m also seriously considering Columbia & NYU but cost is super high. I know social work faculty at CSUN and I could probably do research with them which is a great opportunity.

Gotcha @mswguy. Wow, you got into some other great programs! Looks like you have some tough decisions to make but eventually it'll pay off, literally and figuratively, whatever program you choose. And that is great that you have some networking already going with the faculty at CSUN. 

How long does CSUN give you to accept/decline their offer?

Was just admitted to CSUN today!

Congrats @mswguy !!! That's awesome. If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take after having the interview to receive an admissions decision? I had my interview last Thursday (2/28), and I'm anxious--I check my CSUN email about 10 times a day!

Hi,

I have a question. I've been reading the forums for a while and have read wonderful news about fellow potential social workers hearing of acceptance. I noticed many are receiving acceptances but are still waiting for more. Because of deadlines, I imagine that some are agreeing to the acceptance and paying the deposits such as intent to enroll but are still waiting for the other schools' decisions before making a true decision on where to attend. So my question is, are you allowed to agree to one acceptance and then change your mind if you find that another is best suited for you? Are there any ramifications other than losing out the deposit?

 

I graduated from CSUF in Spring of 2018. I hope to return to school Fall of 2019.

 

I applied to CSUSM, CSULB, and CSUF for their 2 year MSW programs. I would prefer CSULB and CSUF as the distance would be far better for me financially. I can only attend CSUSM if I am accepted by CALSWEC otherwise I would have no other way to pay for it. I can attend the other two schools on a Veteran Dependent program but not CSUSM so that's why I would need CALSWEC. 

 

I was offered conditional admission (they need official transcripts regarding Stat course) and have ONLY 2 weeks to confirm and pay the intent to enroll fee in order to reserve my seat in the program. I know they use the wording "reserve" as the universities understand that life happens and changes are made. I will be accepting the program but feel slightly frustrated as I know that CALSWEC will not reply until the end of March as stated in their emails. The CALSWEC program replies at the end of March and the interviews are the 3rd and 4th of April so everything (meaning my financial ability to pay and attend for the next two years) would be contingent on the interview going well and being accepted into the CALSWEC program. I am still waiting to hear from CSULB and CSUF and I understand that their invitation to interview does not mean automatic acceptance.

 

Mainly, I am feeling anxious due to confirming my seat at CSUSM while not having a way to pay for it and I won't know until, best case scenario, Mid-April in hearing from CALSWEC. All while, waiting for an invitation to interview at CSULB or CSUF and then waiting 1 to 3 weeks after completing the interview to hear good or bad news. Logically, I understand that reserving seats are common and the students and schools are both accustomed to people changing their mind, yet I can help but feel guilty of not being able to make a firm decision yet for fellow applicants and potential social workers and worried that the schools won't allow you to accept their offer if you already reserved your spot for another.

 

Has anyone ever accepted one university offer only to change your mind for a better-suited program and NOT receive negative ramifications other than losing out on a bit of money from the deposit? Did you lose out on a better-suited school because you reserved your spot and the CSU schools found out and removed their offers because of this?

 

Sorry for the long message. Any information would be VERY helpful. ?

How was the interview process ?! 

Hey, so sorry I'm just getting back to this. It was good, a bit unique. It's a group interview with 6-8 people. There's a group task/problem-solving question, and a single individual question that you're randomly assigned. There's also a little writing assignment, but it doesn't seem to hold much weight in the interview.

I was accepted to the 2 year SDSU program, but I did not have 500 hours of experience when I applied and I told them that at the time. Now that I have been admitted do you think I will need to complete these hours that were required? Or should I assume it's all good since I was admitted? They didn't say anything in my acceptance letter that stipulated that I needed to complete hours.

Got my acceptance e-mail to CSUN earlier today! :D Best of luck to all of those still waiting it out. I totally feel your stress as I did not receive any word until about a month after my interview...so don't lose hope! 

Congrats! Which track did you apply for 2 or 3 year? Are you going to attend?

I remember reading somewhere on there website that you can complete it during the program, so I think you'd still need to do the hours. Congrats though!
