moonstruck Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 hi everyone! I've been following this thread for a bit and decided to jump in - has anyone heard from Pitt or know when we might expect to hear? I emailed a few weeks ago and was told by the end of March, but that seems very late, and I was wondering if anyone had any more concrete information. Congrats to everyone on their acceptances so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to everyone on their acceptances so far! Hi! I haven't heard from Pitt either. Looking at past years' forums, I saw that they typically interview. I haven't heard anything about interviews this year, so I'm wondering if they won't be bc of covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The director informed me of an interview on 23rd January. The interview went well. Although I have been accepted at UMB, Indiana and Mizzou. I will be accepting UMB I guess. For people asking for Minnesota, the director had said they would send out decisions mid feb. I am guessing they have sent out their accepts. As for UNC I am sure they have sent all the accepts as the director said you should hear something from us early Feb. hopefulPHDtobe and Dr.EJM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I got rejected from all 3 programs. I asked them for feedback, worked on publication and applied this time. So everything will work out while you wait anxiously.

EssTee Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hi, I am thinking of applying this year for Fall 22. I have worked on migration and trafficking with focus on human rights. I have worked with the United Nations Offices (both UNODC and IOM) and now thinking of applying for PhD. Should I be looking into PhD in Social Work or Public Policy? I want to get back into the industry after finishing. Please advice. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would definitely look into the curricula of each program and see which one appeals most to the type of RESEARCH you are trying to conduct. I particularly love social work research because we have a unique person in environment lens along with a systems perspective model. This means a lot of research is application/intervention research. I am not as familiar with public policy but I urge you to look into the professors there too and their research because that will give you more of an idea of what track to pick. also you can apply to both programs!

AReelExpert Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hey everyone, I’d love to hear where everyone has decided to attend! Congratulations to all wether you got in or not for making it this far. I am still deciding, Columbia University was my top choice but faculty fit and funding seem huge issues right now, so I’m still considering. good luck to everyone SOCW_Noel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeetalk Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Finally heard back from Minnesota.... rejected. Major bummer and a big ol' blow to the ego.

Now.... to figure out how to become a more competitive applicant for next year. Any suggestions are much appreciated! Can you ask someone in the program to read the reviewer's remarks regarding your application? That can give you an idea of what they are desiring for admissions. Last year, I wasn't accepted, and the reviewer did not like the format of my resume and thought the author of one of my recommendations sounded as if he wanted to date me. Those were my two criticisms, but I wouldn't have known that they were issues without being told. The professor who wrote the letter has a PhD from Dartmouth.
