When I spoke to the admissions people, they said to just answer the questions that they are asking you to answer. When I was in contact with UMich, the first thing that I was told that the admissions people look for can you follow directions, are you clear in your intentions, and can you answer the questions being posed. This is the advice I was given and I followed. Other schools basically gave the same advice. Expand This is true during my msw interview the adjunct kept redirecting ppl to answer the question she asked. It was a bad look.

Expand I actually emailed admissions last week on Thursday and they said I’ll hear my decision within 1-2 more weeks. I think somebody else also got that same answer too. I applied 12/1! I really hope they do release some decisions today though Mswsam 1

Expand Hi! I did for some! Some schools asked "Why are you interested in this program and particularly why this school" and that is when I would mention a specific professor in whose research and interests aligned with mine. However, if some schools didn't ask why then I would just stick to the prompt. Edited March 1, 2021 by njenni Gradguy11218 1
mswmc Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Hey everyone, this is my first time posting here. I have been waitlisted at UChicago, was accepted to Catholic, and Temple, and am still waiting to hear back from UMD and Howard. When I emailed them to ask about an expected timeline I usually get a generic answer that they are currently going through applications and will release decisions soon. Has anyone heard back from UMD or Howard? If so, how long did it take from when you submitted your application? j.peg 1

weRnotreallystrangers Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Hello fellow stressed-out peers! ? This is my first time posting, but I have been lurking through this thread since the beginning and it has been a journey... Congrats to everyone that has received acceptances! Just wanted to put it out there that so far, I have been accepted to NYU and SUNY Binghamton (!!!), and I am still waiting to hear back from SUNY Buffalo, Stony Brook, and Hunter College. Does anyone else feel like offer deadlines are so quickly approaching while I'm just sitting here waiting to actually hear back from other schools? It's a lot of pressure. I just emailed the last three schools today asking if they had a general timeline/date in mind for admissions decisions. I'll post again if I get a response! Y0gi, bkcase and S.SW 1 2

Expand I heard back from University of Maryland a couple of months after I applied (I applied in September, and was accepted right at the end of January). Since they start reviewing for scholarship awards in late spring, I'd guess that you'll hear by the end of March?

It’s a difference in having court mandated and people who are just having a hard time and want to talk.
