evilpupil Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Need someone to read my Berkeley MSW essay. Only for people that have gotten into the program. Shoot me an email- jung.mihae@gmail.com Thanks guys!
MSW11 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 How did things wrap up? I applied also. I wonder when they will start sending out decisions...end of february/early march?
evilpupil Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 pretty good, I suppose. GRE really worries me, my score really was not great. just doing the waiting thing...and doing my three jobs! yours????
evilpupil Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 actually driving myself a bit crazy.. i just applied to uw and berkeley. I'm from the bay area and currently living in seattle... ya. end of feb or march... SIGHS did you see the cal stats? brutal.
MSW11 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 My application as a whole came along pretty well. I used a lot of what I had already put together for other schools, but my GRE scores, well, let me just say, I'm confident in saying that they are probably worse than yours. Maybe if we all have bad scores, we'll all get in! I applied to University of Washington too, but they don't offer any aid to their students, and since I'm out of state, I don't think I would want to pay full tuition. Lucky you.
evilpupil Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 yah. I felt as though UW and Berkeley are two ENTIRELY different programs. I felt like it reflected in their SOP prompt. UW- wanting a more self-reflective narrative, and Berkeley- wanting an academic paper. I definitely felt like I did two entirely different apps. Regarding aid- what do you mean? no Financial aid for UW? Loans then?
MSW11 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I'm sorry, I meant scholarships and grants, the free stuff, which I'm all about. I think they have three awards that people can apply for. Other than that, from what I found out, there is nothing else they offer other than loans. For an out of state student - that's no good. I was thinking of applying for one of the tuition/research fellowships. I think the deadline is April 1, so I'm not going to rush into that. I should hear back from most of the schools by then and have a better understanding of where I stand. Do you know something I don't know?
mswhopeful2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Hey! So I know we are only about a week away from finding out! How did your essays turn out? What did you write about?
