coolbeans93 Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Welcome to the MSW FALL 2023 page. I wish everyone the best of luck!!!
MSWHopeful2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Thank you for making this forum! It’s nice to see space to support each other during the application process. I applied to eight schools and just heard back from the first yesterday! Accepted to Penn SP2 with a $22K scholarship. Waiting to hear from other schools and get financial aid info from Penn before deciding. Anyone have any ideas when financial aid packages will come out?
Mswcandidate23 Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 I don't have any info on financial aid but just came here to congratulate you! I also got into Penn and am deciding between Penn and Bryn Mawr. I want to go the clinical track (LCSW) and stay in the Philly area so still not sure which is the right choice yet for me. I got a grant at Bryn Mawr. Best of luck to you!

Wondering how long I'll be waiting to hear about acceptances...

coolbeans93 Posted January 30, 2023 Author Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Congratulations on your acceptances thus far! $22k scholarship is awesome! I wish I had more information to give you. Also, I am new to using Grad Cafe, I'm not seeing any options to reply to a specific comment...is that normal? I would love to know the other schools everyone applied to. I submitted my applications earlier this month for: UNC-Chapel Hill (priority deadline), University of Central Florida (online), University of North Florida (priority deadline), and University of South Florida. I really would love to leave Florida, but that in-state tuition is hard to beat! I am considering Florida State University, but living in Tallahassee isn't appealing to me and their online program doesn't have a fixed rate if I were to move out of state. I'm considering applying to another online MSW program so if you have any respectable, affordable recommendations, I'd love to know! Edited January 30, 2023 by coolbeans93

What was the gpa requirements for Penn SP2?

I’m not sure if I saw a GPA minimum anywhere, most schools evaluate applications holistically! I think the average is above 3.5 though.

Other programs I applied to are Penn SP2, WashU (just got in!), and then I’m waiting to hear back from Boston College, Boston University, Columbia, UMich, University of Washington, UChicago, and Georgia State (my state school). I applied to most schools by their priority deadlines! I’m also looking to leave my home state but agree in state tuition is hard to argue with! Currently am stressing about how spread out decision notifications are, but trying to be patient! Best of luck to everyone on their applications.

Im interested in applying in those schools. If you dont mind sharing your stats and experiences.

futurelcsw23 Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 Thanks for making this thread!! I applied to UCLA, CSULB, and CSULA - still waiting for replies! So far I've only heard that my app for CSULB has been forwarded to the SW department for their review. I'm really nervous yall!
abigailme Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Hi all! Thanks for making this thread! I applied to UMich, UChicago, IUPUI (my state school), and Loyola University in Chicago, all by the 12/1 deadline. Got into UMich, Loyola, and IUPUI, still waiting to hear from UChicago-- my top choice! No word on financial aid yet...

Can I ask when you heard back from Michigan? I also applied by the 12/1 deadline and am still waiting to hear from them - hoping it comes soon!

I heard back from Michigan on Dec 22, I was very surprised to hear that early! They called me and updated my portal on Wolverine. Still nothing on funding. I'm sure you'll hear back soon, though!

rose51609 Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Has anyone heard back from Columbia, NYU, or Boston University? I applied priority for Columbia 12/1, Boston 1/5, and NYU 1/4. Good luck to everyone!
awmsw3338 Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Just got news from UT Austin that my app has been sent for review! Anyone hear back yet that didn't apply early?

I also applied to Columbia by 12/1 and just reached out to them bc it’s been more than the eight weeks they say for hearing back. Not sure if this is true of everyone’s applications but they said mine was still under review and they’d get back to me within the next three weeks, so I’m guessing it’ll be towards the end of the month.

NYU website says we'll hear by 2/17 if applications were in by Jan 6 Otherwise waiting on Columbia, BU, BC, and Hunter
MSW_Journey Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Only applied to Boston University this fall, the wait is killing me!

caseworker12 Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 I applied to Boston College, Michigan, Penn, and Columbia. So far I've heard from everyone but Columbia. When I reached out to them a couple weeks ago they told me a would receive an answer within a week, but I still haven't heard anything. Waiting to hear from them before making a decision.
rose51609 Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Heard back from NYU today - got in! Good luck everyone. Still waiting on Columbia, U Mich cleo23 1
JSinCA2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Hey everyone! Just a heads up that UCLA-Luskin posted on their Instagram a few hours ago that they've made their decisions for the MSW class of 2025 and acceptance/rejection emails should be rolling out over the next few days. Sending good luck to all!
msw778 Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Has anyone heard from Columbia School of Social Work for Fall 2023? Submitted my application on 12/19, got an email on 2/7 (automated) confirming that everything has been received. When can we expect to hear? Would love to know if anyone has insight Thanks
