rockroad29 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Hi - I was wondering if anyone here has applied to the MSW program at Berkeley. If so, which program did you apply to? Has anyone heard anything back? I only applied to Berkeley and applied to their new Flex-Advance Standing program. It is my top - but also one and only choice!
Holygiant Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 I also applied to Berkeley! I applied to their normal 2 year program. I have heard exactly nothing back. Apparently they start releasing decisions in march
Gelibutter Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Same! I applied to Berkeley MSW 2 year program, but I thought that we would be hearing back in Feb? MARCH IS TOO LONG OF A WAIT. Can someone confirm? March or Feb?

Seems pretty late to me, since some schools are already asking for decisions before March
lattes&equality Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Hi there my fellow future SW's. I applied to UC Berkeley for the two year MSW program with a specialization in Strengthening Children, Youth and Families. I submitted my application on 12/2/19. Like the rest of you, I am anxiously waiting to hear back.
rockroad29 Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 My application portal has changed! I think they have started working on it!
Gelibutter Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I read on the other thread that decisions might be coming out on Feb 22nd! Someone had called and asked so we might hear sooner. But that person also suggested calling in b/c they had applied late November.
lattes&equality Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 My application portal changed as well! It says "Grad 20" Is that what yours says? It still says "submitted" though under status.
Gelibutter Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I checked and yes! It also says that for mine. I just want to know already!!!!
rockroad29 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 Did anyone went to their interview back in January? Did you hear back?
rockroad29 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Posted February 6, 2020 I just had a conversation with admission today and they said the latest release of decision is mid-March and the soonest is February 22nd.
Gelibutter Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Did anyone portal change again? I noticed mine did
NourE Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 My portal said 'Grad20' last week, but this week it no longer says that! Has anyone else had that happen?
lattes&equality Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 The “grad 20” went away on mine too. I hope we find out in the next couple weeks!!
rockroad29 Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 I just heard back from them and I got in! This is like a dream comes true. Applying to only school really gave me a lot of pressure, but it's all gone now. I wish you guys all the best!

ayshaface Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I got my notification last night and was unfortunately denied. So decisions are being released!

Seems like quite a few people have gotten responses in the last couple days, hopefully my email comes soon.

Holygiant Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Decisions are coming out tonight. I got denied about an hour ago
