bkcase Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I, too, got this email and somehow did get an interview date for tomorrow morning -- but now I wonder if it was just a glitch in the system?
Stephdiva08 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Hey , has anyone spoke to admissions as of yet?. I know ppl who were accepted in the program that also got the same email . So I’m assuming it was an error .

I got an email late last night telling me to disregard the interview email as I had already been accepted. I'm not sure if this applies to those who haven't interviewed yet or whose apps are still pending. I'd recommend reaching out to admissions office to clarify your own case just to be sure!

AstoriaMSW Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Same boat for me - New applicant, I got invited for the interview, and all the slots were sold out. I replied to that email asking if I could schedule it directly, and haven't heard back. It being a glitch makes a lot more sense to me, because I was shocked at the turnaround time. I only submitted my application this weekend. Just from the process perspective, it didn't make sense to me that they'd have reviewed my application and flagged me for an interview so quickly. So I guess we'll see what happens. I feel bad for the admissions staff - this is a brutal glitch to happen and have to deal with. I REALLY hope no one who was denied (if they sent any of those yet) got it... I'm guessing they'll respond as they actually get through the applications. They might want to avoid telling people they were invited in error, if possible, if they might need to actually schedule one with them? Edit: Oh, and application status just says "submitted" Edited March 17, 2021 by AstoriaMSW extra context
kittygirl Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Hi all - I messaged the Silberman admissions ambassador chat box and this is what I got: "There was an error in the system last night and many people who had not yet been moved to pending interview status were sent invitations. We are currently reviewing all recipients to see who was erroneously sent this invitation and will be following up with those who are indeed pending interview soon with more dates as soon as the system is back online after having been overloaded." I hope this is helpful! They are online at https://sssw.hunter.cuny.edu/admissions/ if anyone wants to reach out themselves. AstoriaMSW, lil_lil, Stephdiva08 and 2 others 3 2

I feel for all the staff working on the back end of this today. Thank you for sharing! kittygirl 1
AstoriaMSW Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Same, appreciated @kitty. I'm sure the staff feels terrible, too. Tbh the only worse thing I could imagine happening is accidentally sending acceptances that you need to rescind. And that's just the emotional piece. The actual, huge bulk of work on an ASAP timeline that this created has to be exhausting. Edited March 17, 2021 by AstoriaMSW accidentally "sending" acceptances kittygirl 1
vincentmsw Posted March 17, 2021 Author Posted March 17, 2021 Hey everyone! I got an email clarifying the message regarding interviews. If you have been accepted or interviewed then you can ignore the message as it was sent in error. Ishita Islam 1
Stephdiva08 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Hey Guys check your application . I just seen I was accepted . So the email for interviews we’re definitely a system error . There were no in-between status it went from completed to final decision which just updated about 30 min ago because U checked around 7:30 -8 MSWNYC and Ishita Islam 2
MSWNYC Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I'm still at completed/submitted. Got the email, sold out, no reply email. Sigh... Maybe Friday?

MSWNYC Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Anyone else here applying for the Community Organizing, COP&D program?
Gradguy11218 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 How many ppl on the page are applying to the OYR. Just want to see how many ppl from that track are still waiting for a response.
AstoriaMSW Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Looks like my portal has been updated to "Pending Interview," but no news as of yet on how to schedule it. Looks like they actually took down all the meetings from the original eventbrite event?
bkcase Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I had my interview today (a little odd since my status says "pending program decision" and has never said "pending interview"), and it was fantastic. The zoom "group" format is a little clunky, but the group itself was super smart and full of people I would love to have as classmates. They said we'll get a final answer by next week. Crossing my fingers! Gradguy11218, veroverovero, MSWNYC and 1 other 4

I'm super confused, my portal still says "pending program decision" and I haven't been able to get through to anyone on the chat or via email.

I remembered that i had number for an admissions person that helped me with my application before. He said the email regarding interviews were sent erroneously to everyone (people who already accepted/ people who were already denied/ etc) He said my application was still being reviewed(as stated on my application status).
