2023mswcsunapplicant Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Hi! I also have an interview scheduled for the Fall '23 CSUN MSW program. I've been looking up things that might help and stumbled across this. Hope it helps! http://www.csun.edu/plunk/documents/gradschool.pdf Figured it was from CSUN so can't hurt 🤷♀️ Can you provide an update after your interview on your experience and questions asked? I will do the same after mine! I also found this from last year: Edited February 23, 2023 by 2023mswcsunapplicant Added MSW 2022 forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSUN MSW 2023 APPLiCANT Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Hello, I interviewed March 6 and still haven't heard anything. Edited March 14, 2023 by CSUN MSW 2023 APPLiCANT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023mswcsunapplicant Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hi everyone! I interviewed on March 3 and haven't heard anything yet. I interviewed with 7 other applicants with 2 faculty. They introduced themselves and the program and we went into individual introductions. Then we were all asked a unique question. My question was something about an issue your community is facing. Other questions were like, how do you ask for help and is it hard for you to accept it. Sorry I can't remember many of the individual questions. But those are only one per person so you don't answer the same thing. The group activity was just 5 minutes. We were given a prompt and we discussed how to best use a grant provided to a program which promotes diversity, equity, etc. At the end, we were given a written exercise (How do you plan on managing life, school and internship if accepted into the program?) and we were to email it within 20 minutes. That was my experience during the interview. The faculty stated that we would hear back no later than May 15. Hopefully I'll hear something sooner. Has anyone else heard back yet?

The people they take right away they know they want them for sure. I assume the ones that take long, we are filtered with other applicants and they really evaluate our applications.
