unctomsw Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 How many people have applied to UNC's full-time MSW program starting in Fall 2020? I applied by the priority deadline in December and haven't heard back yet, so just wondering what other people's timelines look like and if anyone has been accepted yet!

I also applied by the priority deadline and are waiting to hear back. Thanks!
sebailes Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I applied for Advanced Standing and was wondering if anyone has heard back yet? I heard it'd be within the next two weeks but I'm getting so anxious

I heard it'd be within the next two weeks but I'm getting so anxious I'm in the same boat. I applied for Advanced Standing and I'm still waiting to hear back. At the MSW info session in the fall, they originally said that we would find out on or by February 14th. The waiting has me on the edge of my seat!

I applied before 12/10 as well and haven't heard back. From what I understood, the priority deadline was only a deadline for if you wanted to be considered for the Graduate School's scholarships (i.e. Weiss), not an indicator that we would find out from the SSW about admission any earlier. When I spoke to admissions a couple weeks ago, they'd said anytime from end of January through March, but that the bulk would probably be by mid-Feb. So I'm hoping soon!!
HopefulMSW614 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Also applied to advance standing. I’m anxiously waiting. It’s killing me if it’s a no it’s okay but waiting is awful.

I met with the SW department last Monday and they told me they were starting to send out Advanced Standing acceptances last week and that they’ll all be out by Valentines Day. The wait is killing me!! I’m obsessively checking my email.
hellouncmsw Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I applied for regular full-time on January 10th and I am curious if the office said ALL decisions will come out by Valentines Day or just Advanced Standing? Thanks :)

Thanks From what they told me, I think just advanced standing!! They said this is because we start sooner (in May). I think full-time is supposed to hear by the end of March! I know the wait sucks so much hellouncmsw 1

I'm definitely checking my email obsessively and hoping for an earlier decision rather than a later one.

Ceridwen24 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Update for anyone who hasn't seen the email, the notification dates for decisions have been expanded due to a high number of applications. "We will begin issuing decision notices to Advanced Standing students starting next week and continuing through the week of February 17th. Applicants to the 2-year full-time program can expect to be notified of decisions beginning next week and continuing through mid-March. All applicants will receive an email from the UNC Graduate School or the UNC School of Social Work with their admission decision."

hellouncmsw Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I heard 75-100 students each year but I am not sure if that includes Advanced Standing?

hellouncmsw Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I heard last year the applicant pool nearly doubled after they took away the GRE requirement, and prior to it doubling they received around 300 applications per year.

I had also heard that it doubled without the GRE requirement but I wonder if the increase in applications is still factored into their 25% acceptance rate Edited February 10, 2020 by unctomsw
