roxyshoe Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 U Michigan, NYU, Columbia U, University of Chicago, University of Maryland (Baltimore), University of minnesota, Boston U and Boston College. Too many places, really.
AliceFang1106 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 U Michigan, NYU, Columbia U, USC, Case Western, Boston College, WUSTL, Most are the same with upstairs! Shake hands and fighting!
Rivka Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I went a little crazy with the applications: UC Berkeley, Columbia, UT Austin, University of Washington, University of Pennsylvania, Catholic University, Virginia Commonwealth, NYU, Boston University and University of Maryland Baltimore. Phew!
akaplan Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 I applied to UPENN, NYU, UPITT, and Columbia so far! anyone heard back yet?
Rivka Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I got my acceptance letter to the University of Maryland on Saturday!
kldfweldsc Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I got my acceptance letter to the University of Maryland on Saturday! When did you apply?? I had it in by the deadline, and now I'm just waiting.
Rivka Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 When did you apply?? I had it in by the deadline, and now I'm just waiting. I submitted my application on December 13th. They sent me an e-mail saying that it was complete and in review on December 17th. This decision definitely arrived faster than I thought it would. They only give 3 weeks for you to make your decision and give them a deposit and there's no way the other schools I applied to will get back to me in that amount of time. Ugh! Any way, good luck!

Oh no, I submitted my application in November, and I never recieved any email...This is not good.
akaplan Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 You'll be fine! Don't worry! I heard back from Upitt already
michelle15 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I've applied to UT-Austin, UGA, Boston College, UCONN and Texas State. I'm really hoping for UT-Austin, though. Rivka- when did you apply to UT? I feel like it's going to take them a while to get back to us since it's such a large school!
Rivka Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Michelle, I applied to UT on December 13th. I just got a letter from them and freaked out thinking they'd already made a decision. Of course it was just a letter confirming that my application was complete. It's now been about 6 weeks and their letter said that I should get a decision 6 to 8 weeks from now. But yeah they are big so I can't blame them for taking a while!
MissH Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Smith (early decision), Simmons, BU, Springfield, Salem State
burgundykitten Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Ohio State I only applied to one school. I originally intended to apply to Case Western, U Michigan, and Simmons also, but generally realized during my applications that even if I did get in the other schools but didn't get in to OSU, I wouldn't end up going there (except maybe Case, but the cost is outside my ideal budget).
az1 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 My application to NYU, Fordham, Hunter, and SUNY Albany were complete on Dec. 2. Received an acceptance letter from Fordham Jan. 25! While Fordham is not where I would prefer to attend, it isn't a bad option....
briefinterviews Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I'm applying to Michigan, PENN, Boston University, WUSTL, UCLA, USC, and Berkeley.. I oscillate between ridiculous optimism and crippling despair at my prospects. All right, so I'm being a little hyperbolic, but the waiting is starting to gnaw at me. Good luck to everyone!
akaplan Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 I have my interview with penn tomorrow, so nervous!
annibanani Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I applied to Columbia, Penn, UNC, and Berkeley. Still waiting on the last two. I have my interview with penn tomorrow, so nervous! The penn interview is very laid back. Make sure you read over your resume and personal statement and are familiar enough to answer any questions. This may be helpful if you haven't seen it yet: http://sp2admissionsblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/admission-interview-what-applicants.html
Emellen980 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Has anyone heard from Hunter? I'm waiting to hear back from Hunter, too. My application has been complete as of 1/5, but I've received no word from them about an interview...Not sure if that's a bad sign or not...
akaplan Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 same here, no word from Hunter. How long after your interview with Penn did you get your acceptance?
katiemk1230 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Smith, U.Denver, WashU, U.South Florida, and Westfield State (where I went for undergrad, I know no one's ever heard of it for MSW programs...they just started one two years ago). MissH, I see you're from Mass too - did you want to stay in state specifically, or did it just happen to end up that the schools you wanted to go to were all in the area? When did you apply for Smith? I'm wondering what the average rate of response is...
akaplan Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 I actually go to Umass Amherst for undergrad which is considered one of the five colleges along with Smith. A few of my sociology professors went to Smith for their MSW and they loved it!

I am only applying to programs in MA because I want to practice/get licenced/build a network in MA. I applied for Smith'searly decision in early December, got everything in by the deadline.

Congratulations!
