almedina Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Got into Fordham today! I got a phone call and then an e-mail of acceptance! 6 for 6. No idea how to make this decision, eek. Though it was between UIC and Ohio State but Fordham is looking pretty good now... callyw22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antigonabaires Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I just got an email that I got into UW!! That was my first and only choice since I wouldn't be able to relocate due to my family situation. I applied at the regular deadline so those of you who also did, be in the lookout! Good luck to all future MSWs out there!! callyw22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to all future MSWs out there!! Congrats!! I got another email as well...though it appears to be the exact same email I received on Friday except this time they posted a link for me to decline or accept my offer. Sounds like they are sending out another round of notifications--good luck to those who are waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callyw22 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Congrats in Fordham! Still waiting... Ugh! So they send an email at all or u just have to keep checking your VIP page? Got into Fordham today! I got a phone call and then an e-mail of acceptance! 6 for 6. No idea how to make this decision, eek. Though it was between UIC and Ohio State but Fordham is looking pretty good now... Thanks!! I think it's different for everyone. I know when you fill out the online app they ask if you want to be notified by email or postal mail and I chose email. But as you can see almedina got a call and email which is cool! Hopefully I will be getting a follow up email soon, but I checked the VIP page everyday Almedina, what information was included in your email, if you dont mind me asking? And, does the cost of attendance link work on your VIP page? -I was having difficulties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCR1 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 congrats! when did you apply? I'm still anxiously waiting, turned mine in Jan 6th I applied by the December 15th date. Although my GRE scores did not arrive until a few days after the 15th so I'm not certain if they treated my application as early decision or regular. I received a letter by regular mail. GOOD LUCK! It seems decisions trickle in over a two-month period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I submitted my application on December 17th. I wasn't expecting to hear back from them until late March. Rbow12, you may get your email anytime! I applied to the 2 year day program, and the Extended Degree Program was my second choice. I got into the Day Program. I hope you guys have news soon - the wait is exhausting!

Texasgrad5911 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Congrats, everyone!! So far I have been accepted to UT Austin and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I've lived in Chicago my whole life so I think I'm ready to try something new - anyone accepted to/strongly considering Austin's program? I am about 90% sure im going to UT's program. I did my undergrad in Austin at a private university there, and it is an amazing city. If you have any questions about Austin, feel free to PM me!

monkey87 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've been on "Final Review" since Thursday for the U of MN. Getting really nervous, because I know they sent their rejections for the PhD program out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obesemuffins Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Also, wouldn't it put you more at ease to know they send out rejections first? Maybe this whole dragging-it-out-process is for acceptances! I don't know -- crossing my fingers. Edited March 5, 2013 by obesemuffins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebr1127 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi guys, i got accepted by Upenn, BC & NYU but I just couldn't decide which program is the best. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or similar experience? Thanks and GOOD LUCK everyone! Hi, I got accepted to Upenn and NYU as well (in addition to Columbia and BU). I think all programs are strong, but you need to think about factors including the specific program/focus and location. Where could you see yourself living most after you graduate? It often helps to attend a school where you may want to live afterwards. Also, NYU is strongly clinical so if you want to do clinical that could be a good option. However, if you are unsure you may want to consider Upenn or BC. BC has a focus on global issues I remember from when I visited. The campus itself is in the suburb though. I thought UPenn has a beautiful campus and the faculty seemed very nice but I have heard some issues concerning the field placement office and such. Ultimately my first choice was Columbia as I decided I really want to be in a city, specifically NYC more than the other locations; and I feel Columbia has a more flexible, rich curriculum in terms of course offerings and activities on campus. Best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristopher Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone know the time frame for hearing anything back from Ohio State? My application has said "Your application has been sent to the graduate program for academic review." since last Thursday? I'm getting anxious! Congrats to everyone who has good news so far!

Texasgrad5911 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone else having a hard time deciding? I got into UT, BC, and SDSU.. Still waiting on UCLA... I love Austin as a city and I love their program, but part of me wants to pick up and move somewhere completely new. However, I would be leaving a longterm boyfriend and many friends behind in Texas. Having a very hard time with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Upenn when I visited, the campus was beautiful and the faculty was really nice! Can you say more about the issue with the field placement office? I can send you a message or something, that would be really helpful!! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetHarbor Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Have you heard anything? I've called and emailed but I haven't heard back. Still no word, the admissions person who was looking into what happened to early decision applicants that weren't notified is out for the rest of the week! No one in the office is able to follow-up. I guess worse case scenerio, some early decision got pushed into the regular decision pool for whatever reason. The waiting continues. Makes me with they just stuck with one deadline!
