mswhopeful2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 OMG! Thanks so much for sharing this! Wow, so either today or tomorrow! Good luck everyone!!! If you were to get into Berkeley, which one of you guys would actually attend? In other words, is Berkeley anyone's top choice? Berkeley is my first choice. I'm going if I get accepted!
missdanielle Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Welcome lologogo and lccsf! So.. I emailed admissions and asked if we were going to hear back closer to early March or closer to mid-March. I did have a reason for asking; it wasn't like, "I JUST NEED TO KNOW!" I'm sure they would have loved that. Anyway, this was their response: Dear xxx, Application decisions will be going out this week, through email. Best, Admissions Office School of Social Welfare So it looks like today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Also, others who are reading and not posting - feel free to introduce yourselves! The more the merrier. well, my anxiety levels just went back up! haha thank you for the information!

lccsf Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks for posting Mapletree!! This makes today and tomorrow even more nerve-wracking. Good luck to all of us!
Rivka Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I still somehow have a feeling that some of us will still be waiting after the end of this week. Maybe I'm just being horribly pessimistic after NYU told me they'd notify me 9 days ago and then never did. Anyway, Berkeley is my top choice, like it is so many of yours. Good luck everyone!
rjose Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I still somehow have a feeling that some of us will still be waiting after the end of this week. Maybe I'm just being horribly pessimistic after NYU told me they'd notify me 9 days ago and then never did. Anyway, Berkeley is my top choice, like it is so many of yours. Good luck everyone! I agree Rivka. I applied to the MSW/PhD Program, so I have a feeling I might be notified of a rejection/acceptance after the end of this week. The wait is killing me because I need/want to make a decision about where the rest of my life is going sooner rather than later. Life to do list post-deciding which school I'm going to: I have to take a look at finances, visit campuses, let my work know what I'll be doing, train the person who may replace me at work, let my recommenders know where I'm going and give them thank you gifts, sell my bed, desk and futon on Craigslist, find a new place where I might be possibly going to school, cancel my gym pass, figure out what I'm going to do with my car (if I go to the East Coast)....
MommyMSW Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Hello MSW hopefuls! I've also been following this thread. I applied to the CMH concentration and haven't heard anything as of yet. Like most of you I am filled with anticipation, but not too worried either way. I also applied to CSU-EB and SFSU (I do not want to leave the Bay Area as you can see), and really hope one of these works out. After speaking with many practicing MSW graduates, most programs are very similar and employers rarely ask where you went to school. It will all work out! Best of luck to all of the applicants out there!!
tschuss Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I just got this response to my email asking when we would hear: Application decisions will be going out this week and next. We normally send them out by concentration. Please feel free to contact us again if you have any other questions! So maybe we won't be hearing from them tomorrow....
mapletree Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Welcome MommyMSW! I just got this response to my email asking when we would hear: Application decisions will be going out this week and next. We normally send them out by concentration. Please feel free to contact us again if you have any other questions! So maybe we won't be hearing from them tomorrow.... Thanks for the update! I sent my email late Friday afternoon and got the response on Tuesday morning. I didn't want to create more anxiety earlier in the week so I didn't post until today. I mentioned in my email that I applied to the CMH concentration, so based on the response you got, I can think of two things: 1) CMH is going to hear by the end of this week, or 2) between Tuesday and today, they realized they are not making decisions as quickly as they thought, and will let us know next week. Either way, maybe some people will hear back by tomorrow?
tschuss Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Those sound like logical reasons. I mentioned in my email (sent Tuesday) that I was applying to CFS, so it could be that you will still hear this week!
mswhopeful2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 So how's everyone doing?! Anyone have fun weekend plans that don't involve obsessing over admissions decisions?!
briefinterviews Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I keep going over the finances for Michigan, and it's making me want to jump all over Cal if I'm accepted.* Which, of course, is making the wait all the more excruciating. Ohhh my gah... <roll> * even if they offer puny aid
mswhopeful2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Lol....I honestly wasn't expecting grad school applications to be so traumatic! My plan is to kick back and relax this weekend!!! I think the what ifs would drive me crazy if I sat and thought about it too long...better to watch a movie or something!
briefinterviews Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I'm in! Just got the e-mail from Melanie Green, informing me that the SSW has recommended me for admission and that I'll be receiving an official e-mail notification from the Graduate Division. Holy crow! By the way: I was a MAP applicant
mswhopeful2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Had you emailed her before or did she just let you know out of the blue?!
raychelaych Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I got in! CFS concentration. I just got an email from Melanie. I have been checking the board every once in a while, but hadn't ever posted. Berkeley is the only school I applied to, so I will definitely be accepting!
raychelaych Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Had you emailed her before or did she just let you know out of the blue?! To respond to this, it was entirely out of the blue. I actually thought I wouldn't hear until next week because the Grad Admissions office had a hiccup with my application fee (I was supposed to get it waived but made a mistake), so it was a huge surprise. She said the official notice would come "shortly", and financial aid stuff in the next few weeks.
mswhopeful2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Eek...now I'm getting anxious :/ seems kinda late to email too!
mapletree Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Congrats raychelaych and briefinterviews!! Wow, Melanie Green is dedicated. It's past 9pm in California!
raychelaych Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Congrats raychelaych and briefinterviews!! Wow, Melanie Green is dedicated. It's past 9pm in California! It came in at 8 pm on the dot . I imagine this is a couple weeks of late nights at the office...
mapletree Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) It came in at 8 pm on the dot . I imagine this is a couple weeks of late nights at the office... Yeah, must be the busiest time of year for sure! I think that at least one person from every concentration except Community Mental Health has gotten an answer now (and please correct me if I'm wrong). There also seem to be more CMH people posting here than the other concentrations. What does it all mean?! I'm not sure if I should feel relieved that CMH people on this forum haven't heard back yet.. or that so many people applied to this concentration they are still going over all the applications and it is ridiculously competitive.
