MSWFall2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Realized no one has started the 2020 thread yet and that it would be good to share our experiences here to alleviate one another's anxieties. I applied on 12/18 and my application was complete on 12/23. Haven't heard yet, but read in last year's thread that it would take around 8 weeks for the application to be processed. I was hoping an early application meant an early response and decision. Oh well! Anyone hear anything yet?
NTN244 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) My submission date was 9/26 and my application was completed on 10/11. I checked the portal right before the winter break started and my status was changed to 'Pending Interview' around then. I received an e-mail inviting me for an interview last week, and the available slots were for this week but I couldn't attend the in-person interview. They said they'd get back to me about dates for a remote interview soon. Edited January 23, 2020 by NTN244
daninemi Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I submitted my application on 12/20, and it was completed on 1/14, still waiting!
queenshopeful Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Glad this thread is here! I submitted my application December 13 and it was confirmed on Dec 20 - still haven't heard anything back, but I'm beginning to hear back from other schools as of this week. Side note - has anyone here considered the possibility of putting a deposit down at another school, while waiting hear back from Hunter? I've heard mixed feedback on what the repercussions of this might be, but given how late Hunter may give their decision (I've heard as late as April or May), it feels risky to decline other offers while waiting for them to send their decision. Hunter is my most affordable option, and it's definitely at the top of my list, but I don't want to lose out on the opportunity to go to grad school altogether. Would love to hear what others have been thinking about this.

I've heard back from NYU and it seems likely that I will not receive a decision from Hunter before I have to decide in March. My understanding is that you'll lose your full deposit if you then decide not to attend but I'm not sure there are repercussions beyond that. As decision deadlines approach, I imagine it would be helpful to reach out ot the admissions office to request an extension for responding. You can always frame the issue financially, i.e., "While I remain strongly interested in attending X University in the fall, I would feel more comfortable making a final decision after considering all of my admission offers and financial aid packages." It's worth asking--the worst case scenario is they say no and you have to put down a deposit to secure a spot at a school. Edited February 10, 2020 by eec229 queenshopeful 1

daddydevito Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I am so glad I found this thread! I applied to NYU (1/10), Hunter (1/20) and Columbia (1/20). Hunter is my top choice and I've had the same fears of having a group interview and whether I'd hear back in time with other deadlines. I got accepted into NYU already and went to an info session. I'm already working at a Social Services agency as well and hoping to make that my field placement. Wishing the best of luck for everyone on their social work journey, keep me updated!

Did they invite you to do a group interview as the next part of the application process? I'm worried cause I submitted 2/3. Congrats!
queenshopeful Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 I received an invitation for an interview for the 2 year full time program on 2/25! They sent an invitation to choose between 3 different interview times, so I'll be doing mine next week. Good luck to everyone!

I have three + years of experience in the social work field, maybe that's why? Hunter is known to take their time with sending out interview invites/acceptances. Good Luck
HG2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) I submitted my application on 1/23 and it was completed on 1/29. Still no word. Nothing in my portal either. So far, I've been accepted to three of the five programs I applied to. No rejections yet. Hunter is my top choice and I'm waiting to hear back from them, but I've already had to put down a deposit at one school because they would not extend the deadline. I'm really frustrated, and debating reaching out to them, but I don't want to seem unprofessional and hurt my chances!! Has anyone had any luck reaching out to admissions? Congrats to everyone who's been accepted!! Edited March 9, 2020 by HG2020 adding a question

Congrats to everyone who's been accepted!! We're in pretty similar boats. I reached out to admissions but never got a response. I'm guessing they might not respond to emails requesting updates. I might reach out again on Friday if I still haven't heard anything.
NTN244 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 I have my group interview (in person) scheduled for tomorrow!
