@lalala0 I’m a nervous talker so when they called I got the full scoop. They said Tuesday or Wednesday we’ll get official emails. Do you have any idea where you’ll be accepting yet? Let me know if you decide on penn and we’ll connect. Congratulations!

That is good to know! Thanks for sharing! I am leaning towards to Upenn at this moment~ I will try to reach out to a few people to talk to them about their experiences before I decide.

Congratulations to you as well!

Hi everybody, been stalking this thread a bit, figured I'd check in. Penn acceptance letter arrived a little earlier! 

[lalala0]

I got my acceptance letter earlier as well! I think I will accept it.

So excited

Congratulations! Please let me know if you accept and you can join @KryzFerrand I on our WhatsApp group for our cohort! 🥳

Congrats again to all the folks accepted to UPenn. Super good news. 

I'm curious, has anyone heard from Alabama (UA)? My eagerness and anxiousness can't help but ask--I'm checking the portal daily! Any updates?

Hi All! So happy to see this as I had read previous DSW threads here from 2020-22! Received call from Penn on 4/5 at airport coming back from a Spring Break vacation with family!  Had applied to Penn, UB, and UTK. All great schools but my heart has always been with Penn as my first choice for many reasons! 
@thisisnotalyssa and @KryzFerr - so excited to see you’re part of same cohort! I would love to be added to WhatsApp chat for this cohort, @thisisnotalyssa, if that’s cool? I see there are a couple others who are thinking about saying yes too and happy to “meet” you all!! 
Sending positive vibes and/or congrats to the others on this thread!!

@Off2Penn just sent you a DM!

Hi all, I just received my acceptance to Alabama this morning (April 13, 2023). I'm guessing others will hear today too. The email said they had 147 applicants for 20 spots this year. Best of luck to everyone on this thread who applied to UA this year. Sending you good vibes!

I got an offer from USC back in March and also got a phone offer from Upenn yesterday as well. So excited. I wonder when will they release the official offer letter via email.

✌️

@GRMichigan congrats! I’m currently out of the country so I’ve been away from email. Didn’t get anything from Alabama, so I’m guessing it’s a no for me. That being said, I did get into NYU which was my number 1 choice, so I’m overall very happy. 
 

@Off2Penn @KryzFerr @thisisnotalyssa @lalala0 congrats on Penn! So exciting!

Did anyone in this group get accepted to Bama's DSW program last year? Curious of getting some insight for the application process and see what kind of applicants they are looking for/accepting.

@EJM HEY! Finally some action on this thread lol (j/k). Application went well; I only applied to NYU and BAMA. I work for NYC and therefore qualify for a scholarship that would cover half the tuition at NYU (and then if accepted, there's some field work/supervision DSW's can do for an additional 25% off tuition). I also went to NYU for my MSW (graduated 2016). First choice is NYU, as I have a preference for in-person learning, and I only applied to BAMA because it is affordable, I don't want to take out any loans. I hope to hear back from them soon, my guess is February. How has the DSW been on your end? How's USC treating you? While I know the degrees are different, how has your experience been at USC in comparison to NYU? 

Hi, I applied to NYU as well, was wondering whether you had the group interview? How was it?  Thank you!
