burgundykitten Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 To my chagrin, I have been entirely unable to find any single other person on a forum or otherwise who is applying to OSU, is currently enrolled in the MSW program, etc. It's not in the "top 10", but it's decently high on the U.S. News rankings and is one of the oldest social work programs in the country. So: Did anyone happen to apply to their MSW or know anything about the College of Social Work there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicflute Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I applied OSU(Ohio, not Oregon).My status is "in review" for 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundykitten Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 That's disheartening. Mine's only been in for three weeks & I'm going stir-crazy because all of my friends know where they got in already/where they're going. I've called the MSW office a couple times, she said they had a MASSIVE applicant pool this year & they're really behind in reviewing... but they also extended the deadline to turn in materials an extra month.

magicflute Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 really? I never contacted the admission office after sending all the materials. Did you apply to any other schools? I've got acceptance to WUSTL, so I'm not very anxious now. But don't too worry, good news is around the corner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundykitten Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I didn't apply to other schools, only because I knew if I was accepted to the other programs I planned on applying to, I wouldn't realistically move to those places at this point in my life regardless, so it was a waste of application costs & efforts & stress. I have an idea of places I'd like to apply next year if OSU doesn't pan out (moving OOS becomes more feasible then). The MSW office at OSU said they admit ~60% of applicants. I'm hoping for good news, this is my second year applying to grad school (I got in last year but turned down the programs after poor funding, & then changed career-focus).

burgundykitten Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 congrats! My status hasn't changed yet. Did they notice you by email? No, I just checked my online app status & it was changed by noon today. I don't think the CSW at OSU sends out emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
