simonsays Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 @madisonc7 Ugh I got that too and got nervous for a moment! @Zayah NYU and Columbia are definitely my top two. I'm a little torn (if I get in, of course!) because Columbia is so highly ranked but NYU is better suited towards clinical work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avizenoi96 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Just FYI - I have friends who are currently going to CU (they started Fall 2019) and they both got their acceptances Feb 11 and Feb 18 2019 respectively(they applied for the priority deadline) and said that people they knew got acceptances all over the place between Jan, Feb & even later... so I don't think we need to panic right now at all MCSW23, simonsays, Mswstudent101 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, remember the context! This is a super skewed sample, generally people post good news, not no news, so it looks like everyone is getting accepted and you aren't, but this sample ain't reliable and doesn't reflect the general population. Hi All. I've been following along for a while now, but thought that I'd post now in reply. I applied to U Chicago on 12/1 and NYU (Shanghai) on 1/10 for full-time SW programs (also applied to the full-time MBA program at UW-Madison, but that's outside this particular forum). I got confirmations that my applications were complete, but otherwise haven't heard anything back yet. Here's to hoping! JuliaFrances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liza123 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 So I called University of Denver today and was told that my application is under review. The woman I talked to also said that they release decisions as they go, rather than a handful on a particular weekday. Thought I would let those who applied to Denver know!

I’m definitely over stressing but I still haven’t heard even though I applied in November! Hi there! I received my acceptance notification this morning. I applied on November 25, ten days after the priority deadline. I was stressing during the wait, too, but you should be hearing soon! When I emailed the director of admissions on Monday, I was told that applicants will be notified within the next 10-12 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard back this morning. Good luck!

I was also offered a $24,000 Dean's Distinguished Leadership Award - I don't have a compass for if that is a lot or a little with UChicago. This is for the 4 quarters Advanced Standing program. I have had a sort of stunned reaction so far.

IvySWCu Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I got information from admissions that decisions for two year track are coming out this Friday and the next and advanced standing cane out last Friday 1/17. So we should all hear back soon for the two year track! I’m feeling confident about hearing from UC. Hoping UChicago is generous with scholarships!

Liza123 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 So ready to hear back from Denver...hopefully this week! Although I hate that after Denver, it'll likely be 1.5 months before hearing back from Washington. MCSW23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAdvice Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi everyone! I have my first interview next week and am freaking out a little! I'm in the Philly area and am originally from NJ, so anyone with questions just let me know. I fully agree with the post a while back detailing the culture/awful housing/and Rutger's not being in a great area, for those interested. I wanted to stay in the area and applied to Widener and West Chester. I decided against Penn at the last minute because of friends who have graduated from the program and felt it was not worth the extremely high price tag. They also were really pretentious on the phone when I was asking questions and kept saying things like "IF you're offered admission.." and ..meh. Widener is my first choice for the trauma clinical focus, and knowing several people who loved it there. West Chester is a backup if they offer a better financial package with assistantship. I applied to assistantships for both as well. I finished applications a few weeks ago, and last week heard back from Widener to choose an interview date (Scheduled for 1/28, eeeep) Stats are 4.0 in sociology with a concentration in deviance, 2 + years experience in research and crisis line intervention Good luck to everyone!
