I haven’t heard anything and i’m getting really nervous now.... They are likely only sending out acceptances in place of those that decline an admissions offer at this time. As far as I know, they have not sent out any updates to applicants or a suggested timeline where they expect to be finished with the process except "March." In the past, they have sent out a generic rejection email to all candidates at the same time who did not hear back by mid march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like admissions decisions were going to be sent throughout the month of March, but is it typical that acceptances are sent late Feb and the rest are just denials?

Yes, in the previous threads from 2020-2017, it appears to be the case that acceptances are mostly sent out in February. If you go read those threads, you'll see a ton of people saying they received an acceptance in February. There are a couple of acceptances that come in early March, but they are very infrequent. This leads me to believe those come from February people declining their acceptance. Then there's sometimes a waitlist that comes for just a couple of people right after everyone else is rejected in mid-March that appears to have spots left from anyone else that declines that can go up until April, probably coming from people that were offered an acceptance in March that then declined or anyone from February changing their mind last minute.

I disagree with this thought process because there are at least two variables that are not being addressed. We are in a global pandemic, those previous years were not dealing with the logistical changes that this may have or may not have causes relating to admissions. Second, out of 600+ estimated applicants to this MSW program, how many use gradcafe forums? Are they a majority of all applicants? There may be other people that dont use this forum that may have been accepted beyond the dates that you stated. I really do appreciate you letting us know your findings and taking the time to search and analyze old threads to help us, I am confident that it comes from a good place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icedcaramelmacchiato Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I received an email this morning that I didn’t get into the 2-year program but they offered me an interview for their 3-year program! I have my interview soon so if anyone else has a similar situation, any advice will help! steste, aeriddic, jupiterfalling and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeriddic Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I applied for the 3 year program, and at my interview (which was early Feb.) they told me "if you have not heard from us by the beginning of the third week of March, email us." They also said that they only accept 25 students to the 3-year program every year, so my thought is that it's more competitive. However, I have no way of knowing how many applicants they had this year. icedcaramelmacchiato, Antsmarch and IMHO 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh I hate the thought of them being returned as they were submitted, cause I submitted mine on December 18th, which I feel like isn't too late.
