Hey all! I contacted UChicago SSA's admissions team to ask for a general timeline and they're currently going through first round of interviews. Second round will be towards the end of January and the hope is to send out offers mid February-late February. I hope that helps for all applying there!

Ah! Thanks for letting us know! I was wondering if they were going to interview this year.

Thanks for the update!

So they’ve sent all of the invites they’re going to send?

Hi sorry I didn't mean to say interviews, I meant first round of applications! They're not doing interviews. Again, apologies for the mistake!

I saw on the acceptances/interviews page that someone received an interview form NYU the other day

Yikes! Wondering if this was an informal interview or a request from the program.

Hi Everyone! I applied to various PHD programs. Has anyone heard back from Boston College, Columbia, or University of Texas Austin? 

I also applied to NYU and I have not heard back yet... wondering if anyone has more info besides that one person that received an interview?

A professor from Columbia told me that there would be no interviews and that they were expecting to release decisions no earlier then late February but most likely early March

I also applied to UT and NYU. No information from either school.

I checked this again 2 minutes ago and now there are two people with interviews on there or some sort of NYU PHD social work communication! Hopefully HOP and I will hear something soon and update yall!

The second one is mine, sorry. I followed up because I'm curious on whether this is a formal or informal interview (request from the applicant).

Hi- Columbia Phd SW applicant here- really ONLY applied to Columbia this year and will see about casting a wider net the following year- if bad news. To think i might have to wait another month and a half is EXCRUCIATING. 

[PatelXX]

Yes, I too applied. Looks like we need to wait longer than other programs from above message. I also didn't hear from anyone regarding other program results or interview such as Chicago, UW, WashU. so looks like all are taking time in reviewing applications

I received an interview from WashU (however, it was for the Phd in Psychology and not Social Work) and was invited to a final day long virtual interview in Feb. 

@KryzFerr I feel you 100%! The waiting is playing with my nerves haha.

Oh interesting you're also looking into psych programs! Awesome- do you have an MSW? 

[PatelXX]

Folks, one applicant posted in Gradcafe results about- UW PhD Social Welfare- Rejected. Looks like they released results or interviews.

Hi ArchieJones, will the interview be conducted by the target Prof you indicated in your application or by admission committee? Also, I saw one post in the Gradecafe results too, is that you? I applied too, but haven't heard anything yet

Hi! I was contacted by my POI and I haven't posted on the results page yet.

I'm sure you'll hear something soon - good luck!
