AReelExpert Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Someone posted in another forum that NYU is inviting applicants for interviews this week. anyone have more info? Is it POIs or admissions director?
Jazzyjazz Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Y’all had some great answers as to when you applied for your PhD program, how much experience you have, etc – thanks so much! One follow up: I heard from my BSW advisor that the school in which you received your MSW doesn’t matter too much for getting into a PhD program. Can anyone speak to this? KryzFerr 1

I think getting your MSW at a university you might intend to get your PhD in is a huge help- you'll know faculty, you'll have an "in", you'll be able to speak to a lot in your SOPs. That said- i've also seen a lot of posters say they did NOT get into their uni/school's PHD program despite having gotten their master's there so its not 100% guaranteed. In general what i like about SW is that they're not too elitist in terms of colleges/university's and i think it more has to do with research/experience/fit with faculty, etc. I've thought about applying to a PhD at my MSW institution but my interests over time have really drifted away from what a lot of their faculty do so i'll definitely not be a great fit there.

One follow up: I heard from my BSW advisor that the school in which you received your MSW doesn’t matter too much for getting into a PhD program. Can anyone speak to this? Hi Jazzyjazz, I agree with the response Kryz gave- sometimes earning your MSW at the university where you plan to apply for your PhD is helpful- faculty know you and you are well connected. However there are quite a few universities that openly say they will not admit anyone that applies from the MSW/MA program. That can be for various reasons, like bringing in more diverse perspectives and applicants. In terms of it not mattering where you get your MSW, I think that’s true. I think sometimes people get caught up on going to the most competitive programs and while that can look appealing to some profs and universities, the name or status won’t be all they’re looking at. Perhaps you had more involvement in your department, relevant experience, and your interests align better. That’s really what’s most important. So maybe someone attends a top university for their MSW... it’s great but it won’t necessarily get you in if you’re not a strong match. At the end of the day, everyone that applies with a MSW haaaas a MSW. So what else is there? And how will you be a strong match? Hope that helps! and, you got this!
SOCW_Noel Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I just received an acceptance email from The University of Texas at Arlington! I don’t think anyone in this thread applied to UTA, but it was my top school and the only one I applied to (so I was nervous)! Best of luck to everyone! hopefulPHDtobe, selamat123, sunluck21 and 1 other 4

Columbia is my #1 pick, however I am waiting to hear from NYU, and UT Austin to make a decision! wondering if anyone can tell me how to afford living in New York without more student loans haha
sadurma_z Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Congratulations on your admissions. So far I got rejected by WashU St. Louis, Virginia Commonwealth and BC. I will have an interview with Wayne State this week. I didn't apply to any west coast universities because of the cost of living. My MSW is from the University of Michigan. Glad to find this forum ... I've been freaking out... Edited February 15, 2021 by sadurma_z
KryzFerr Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Still nothing from Columbia on my side....which doesn't feel like its a good thing....
sadurma_z Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 By the time I submit my first entry here I got another rejection from UCONN ? 4 REJECTIONS 1 INTERVIEW 16 MORE TO GO...

Glad to find this forum ... I've been freaking out... I feel you. It's a hard time, waiting for results and getting rejection letters. Prior to today, I got rejected by 4 other social work programs. I also got rejected by one developmental psychology program. I almost lost hope before. It's definitely been a hard, stressful and anxious month. But it's still early and some schools can wait until the end of February or early march to send out decisions. Hang in there! I believe you will hear good news! Sending my best wishes to you! sadurma_z 1
smile12 Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I got into the Columbia University. But just like @sunluck21 I was waiting for UChicago's decision, and I found that someone just has posted the admission result.. UChicago was my priority and I put all my efforts and hope into the application. Disappointed..
