vmpancucci Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just talked with someone from the admissions office over the phone and she indicated that MSW admissions decisions will be sent out the first two weeks of March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswhopeful2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dd they say if they will be sending emails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpancucci Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Dd they say if they will be sending emails? I wish I would've asked! Based on the Grad Cafe admissions results from last year, people who were accepted were notified by phone and those that were not accepted were notified by email. Hope that helps and good luck!

candyca2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Did you guys who applied to Berkeley's MSW program mail official transcripts to them or just upload unofficial transcripts in the application system? Thanks! Edited February 28, 2012 by candyca2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpancucci Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Did you guys who applied to Berkeley's MSW program mail official transcripts to them or just upload unofficial transcripts in the application system? Thanks! Just unofficial transcripts. You only mail official transcripts if you're admitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyca2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just unofficial transcripts. You only mail official transcripts if you're admitted. Thanks! In addition, who is the admissions coordinator that you guys contacted? Ms Green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpancucci Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks! In addition, who is the admissions coordinator that you guys contacted? Ms Green? Just the admissions front desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED007 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I wish I would've asked! Based on the Grad Cafe admissions results from last year, people who were accepted were notified by phone and those that were not accepted were notified by email. Hope that helps and good luck! When I was accepted last year I was sent a generic e-mail to check the website, I was very surprised to find an acceptance waiting for me. Also, in taking with others in the program about how they were accepted we realized that some of us were personally notified with an e-mail in the beginning of March, and others (like me) were notified towards the end of the month. I don't think there was a reason for that other than disorganization on their part. Good luck to you all! I vividly remember waiting and how much it sucked!

mswhopeful2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I completely concur with your last sentence!! Boo waiting!! I'm the meantime, waiting mead I'm much more efficient at household chores, freelance design work, and pretty much anything else I can use as a distraction!

mapletree Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 You know what would be really nice? If we heard this week. Last year I got an email at around 3.30pm on March 4th, which was the first Friday of the month. The first Friday of this month is March 2nd - in 2 days! Also, Ms. Green is a really nice person. I went to ask her a bunch of questions last year (and once this year) and she's always been really sweet and informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswhopeful2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 So how is the waiting going on this lovely extra day of the year?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmpancucci Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So incredibly annoying! Waiting to hear back not just from Berkeley, but from USC and UCLA, as well! In the meantime, decision deadlines for Columbia and Penn are coming up! Grrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapletree Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 i completely agree. i almost dislike the fact that this year is a leapyear.. make us wait one more day. look how inpatient we're all growing. hah I know, it's kind of funny. I think not knowing is one of the hardest parts. We weren't much better last year! This is last year's Berkeley thread if you haven't already seen it: I am "lemondrop". I had to use another username this year because I couldn't log into the other account (my .edu email expired). Here's something else to burn some time: Type in "Columbia MSW" in the results survey. Then "NYU MSW". Then some other schools. Then Berkeley. Then weep when you see how many people got into Berkeley. And finally - An interesting article about MSW admission rates from 2009: http://sweduc.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/msw-and-phd-admission-rates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjose Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 This morning and early this afternoon I tried logging into my account and there were server issues so I thought maybe decisions were made, but I was wrong I want to find out already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annibanani Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I found out I received admission to the Berkeley School of Social Welfare this morning in an email! They also asked which concentration I would be most interested in pursuing. Has anyone else heard back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
