survivorgirl Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 This is my first post here. I applied for an MSW program at a local university. I am unable to move due to work, my son, etc, and this is the only school in the area that offers the MSW. I had an interview a little over 3 weeks ago (2 days after they received my last reference), and I thought i would hear something by now. I thought everything went well in the interview. How long is customary to wait? Does this mean a rejection for me? It's driving me crazy! Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green8715 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I interviewed at Univ of Maryland 3 weeks ago and even though was told it should take the admission committee 2 weeks to get decisions out have yet to hear anything. I'm trying to remain optimistic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlie Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I interviewed at Arizona a month ago, and still no word. I'm debating whether or not to call, but then that gets into the question of "do I actually want that answer?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once it rolls over into April if I still haven't heard I'll just wait for the rejection letter in the mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch of posts on here about ways to make an inquiry without sounding impatient or needy. I made a call yesterday, "I'm just calling to check in."

survivorgirl Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 I just received my acceptance via snail mail today!!!!! Nothing is mentioned about scholarship, however, though the prof said I would be eligible during my interview. They want a $100 deposit & THEN they will send more info.

Neuronista Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I have a question for you guys: during my second interview with one of the programs I applied to, I asked the interviewer how long should it take for decisions to be made. The thing is I asked it in such a spontaneous and "natural" way. I told him straight in the face that I was worried about the results and I would like to know when should I expect anything. Stupid right? Do you think I hurt my chances this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green8715 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I dont think it's a stupid thing to ask - schools should understand applicants may be juggling multiple offers. Although I've found even when schools have said I should receive a funding offer or admission decision in x weeks, it usually takes longer....

And I think you're right, it does seem to take much longer time than they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
