Officially they say 8 weeks from your app, but I emailed them last week asking for a timeline and they said that applicants who applied by the priority deadline will hear in February (which was strange because they said this in March ?) and everyone else will hear back end of March to April.

Has anyone heard from UIC? I applied for the MPH/MSW program and I just got accepted to the MPH program. I'm still waiting to hear back about the MSW program but I'm already pretty happy that I got in to MPH :)

Pretty sure some on the thread have, but definitely people have posted on the results page! I reached out to the admissions dept last week and they said they are trying to make final decisions by March 15, so fingers crossed we hear soon!

I also applied to SDSU and Portland State! I emailed SDSU yesterday because their website says decisions will be sent out between April 15-June 5, which is way past the confirmation deadline for the schools I've heard back from. Hopefully they respond to me and give me more information!

Hi! Did you ever hear a response from SDSU?

Does this mean mid March to early April? I submitted the day before the deadline so 8 weeks for me would be at the end of April which is so far away :(

I've been waiting 3 months now (submitted right after the priority deadline) - I emailed for an update and haven't heard back. Definitely also frustrated as I have extended commitment deadlines approaching.

Right. Columbia is my top choice, but I've been accepted to my 2nd and 3rd choice and need to ask for extensions. It just gives me a lot of anxiety, because even if I get extensions, there's still a chance I won't hear back in time.

I still haven't heard back about UChicago ☹️

Wondering if this means I was just plain rejected??? ugh. I guess there's still time today...

I didn’t get the email until 6:36pm yesterday! There’s still a bit of time left no worries. Also they could just be delayed. For some of my other schools, they notified me after their promised deadline but I still was accepted! Hang in there :)

Hi beautiful people! Cross-posting this from the Bay Area MSW thread. I just wanted to send out a plea lol. If you have decided on a school that you're set on committing to, but still have your applications being considered at other schools, pleeeease consider rescinding your application from those programs you're definitely not going to (or if you've already been admitted, letting them know ASAP to offer your spot to someone else). I know it might feel good to get a few more acceptances and I know the curiosity factor is real (like, you want to know if you'd get in even though you're not going to commit), but in reality it also might be delaying the good news and decisions that others are waiting for. It seems the application pool was extremely competitive this year. This of course is in no way meant to be pressure anyone to commit to a school/program you're not sure about if financial offers are still being considered, you're undecided, location is an issue, etc. I just mean for people who are like "YES I got into the school that I am definitely going to commit to," please consider letting other schools know that you're going somewhere else. I say this because I got this response from the director of SFSU re: decision time line for NON-title IV applicants...

"So, this year we considered 345 direct practice applicants for only 27 spots. We have sent out our first few admits and will send out more next week. As we hear back from people, we will begin to draw from the waiting list."
 
Good luck to everyone still waiting and huge congratulations to those who have received acceptances! ❤️ 

lol i got the same email from Jerry - I feel ya. San Jose State actually sent out an email asking people to rescind applications through a google form for this very reason. good luck (to us both)!

I got an email update back today - they said I should expect a decision within the next 2 weeks. I was also just granted a second extension from USC and a lengthy first extension from NYU, so it's definitely worth reaching out to your other options. Seems like they're generally willing to work with those of us in this position.

Yes - I did reach out to them but haven't gotten a response yet. Did you apply priority or regular? 2 weeks is soon! I applied in February

I applied just after the priority deadline, something like 12/10.
