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 At this point it's the only school I'm waiting to hear back from. I've reached out to them and checked on Twitter and forums and it doesn't seem like anyone has received an answer and there is no information about when they are sending out their decisions. msw778 and Melisaa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moody95 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 did anyone else not hear from NYU yet or was it just me? I applied on January 6. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting on Hunter and Columbia still. Cannot stop refreshing my inbox hoping something will come in. Hunter responded to an email I sent on Monday and said it typically takes 6 weeks for them to notify after your app is completed, and since mine was complete on 1/1 I should hear "very soon"... Has anyone heard from Hunter? foodie.v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieking Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Got into University of Chicago and would love to connect with others who are considering going. I am so excited! Didn’t get into Berkeley, but eagerly awaiting results from UCLA…I’ve been checking my email often since their Instagram post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurelcsw23 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Has anyone heard from UCLA?? They posted on Thursday that they'd be sending decisions over the next couple of days, but I haven't seen anyone hear anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awmsw3338 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I just got a notification that I got into Rutgers Fall 2023! It is a shockingly quick response since the deadline was last week. I don't have much social work experience so I am so excited and honored! prairieking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got in to UChicago and am waiting to hear back from UCLA - also been anxiously checking my email lol! Those are my top choices. Are you leaning towards one or the other? prairieking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my top choices. Are you leaning towards one or the other? Congratulations! It’s tough to say. They’re my top choices as well, in large part because of the strength of both programs but also because I have family local to both. Since I’m in NYC currently, the comparative cost of living in Chicago is looking pretty good. Just have to get past the weather. I think ultimately it’ll come down to aid packages—I definitely have some more thinking to do, and still haven’t heard back from UCLA! What about you? Which one are you most excited about?

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! Still haven’t heard anything—did you end up hearing back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valar_Morghulis Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Got into UMich MSW Program with a competitive funding offer and WVU's MSW Program! Make sure you advocate for yourself in UMich SSW funding. You can ask for funding reconsiderations. That might apply to more schools than Michigan.. No word from Columbia, though! Good luck everyone!

Hi there! Congrats on your acceptances and scholarships! I got into University of Michigan as well, but not much funding... if you don't mind sharing, who did you reach out to to reconsider your funding, and how did you phrase it?

Pretty exciting to be accepted to Michigan. So, the re-consideration process at UMich SSW requires obtaining the official re-consideration form. You have to complete that, along with a five page essay. If you reach out to someone at the SSW financial aid office, they should be able to email you the form. The way I worded it was just in a tone of gratitude for the aid they offered, but that I still had some financial concerns about my ability to attend (the tuition is pretty expensive as an out-of-state student). Once I submitted my form and essay, they got back to me pretty quickly with a new offer. UMich SSW Financial Aid Phone: (734) 936-0961 Email: ssw.finaid@umich.edu https://ssw.umich.edu/programs/msw/financial-aid It was also highly recommended to me that I apply for one of the special programs. I'd ask about signing up for those special programs before submitting the reconsideration form. The form will ask several questions about avenues you've already explored for more funding, including special programs. Just looks better if you've checked some of those boxes already. More info at: https://ssw.umich.edu/admissions/msw/financial-aid/special-programs It appears that a majority of the funding goes to students involved in these programs. Good luck!!
