MSW hopeful Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Has anyone heard anything from SDSU's MSW program? I was rejected last year, so I am trying again this year with another years experience of volunteer work. I was on the wait list until the very start of the semester last year. I applied to the 3 year direct practice program. I haven't heard anything and it has been over a month.
gradhopeful777 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I applied early January and have not heard anything official from SDSU. My application appears to have been in review since 02/09 from what I can see on the SDSU Web Portal page. I applied to the 2 year CYF concentration. Best of luck!
MSW hopeful Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Have you heard anything else yet? Congrats on the NYU acceptance! I e-mailed someone from SDSU and was told I should get an update on Thursday, 3/17... I applied early January and have not heard anything official from SDSU. My application appears to have been in review since 02/09 from what I can see on the SDSU Web Portal page. I applied to the 2 year CYF concentration. Best of luck!
MSW hopeful Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 I am in complete shock......I actually got into the MSW program this year! I am so happy I actually cried.... Last years waitlist and then rejection was horrible. This really is my dream come true!
MSW hopeful Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Judging from your signature, we both got into SDSU!! I applied early January and have not heard anything official from SDSU. My application appears to have been in review since 02/09 from what I can see on the SDSU Web Portal page. I applied to the 2 year CYF concentration. Best of luck!
gradhopeful777 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 @MSW Hopeful Sorry for the late reply! I can never remember my password for this forum and have been lazy to reset and do all that haha. Congrats on your acceptance! I know I went through the same feelings when I got that first acceptance letter. Cherish it! A few days ago I received my financial aid award statement from SDSU via email. It appears that I was not awarded any work study or scholarships - but I was awarded some options for loans with good interest rates . From the looks of it, I will personally be declining - but I wish you all the best!
SLH122 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I was accepted, too. I am worried about the job outlook though. I already have a masters (in criminology), though you know to work in social work, you need an MSW. My original career goals aren't working out due to the federal government not hiring, so I need to switch gears, and was thinking an MSW is the way to go. However, I am really worried that I will graduate with an MSW and still not be able to find a job. Does anyone have any information on the job outlook or job finding rates of MSW grads?
bounce Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 If anyone who was accepted could give me their stats that would be fantastic!!!! I am applying to SDSU's Fall 2012 MSW. It is my first choice and I'm nervous I won't get in. Major GPA: 3.9 Last 60 Units: 3.75 Overall: 3.36 (I screwed up at community college) Worked at Psych hospital for 6 months. Volunteer at Vet Center every week GRE: Haven't taken it I want to get into the Direct Practice Concentration. I want to get my MSW and take the exam to get my LCSW. I want to work in San Diego at the VA medical center with vets.
