Texasgrad5911 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 SDSU is currently my top choice! Just curious if anyone who got in could give me some advice or pointers. I am also curious of how long their application review process takes? Is it rolling admissions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Good Morning, I have not been accepted but I went to their info session back in August. They don’t have rolling admissions per se. Admission responses won’t be sent out until after the 30th (because of the budget restrictions and the Prop 30 and 33 responses). They make admission decisions based on a tiered rating system. They have three tiers and they place applicants in the tiers as they review them. I'm not exactly sure when they begin to notify people of acceptance or rejection. They also said that you only need a 3.0 to apply, but anything above a 3.5 is very competitive and as long as you have a 4 on the AW section of the GRE your safe. GPA is 40% of the admissions process and they look favorably at experience with diverse populations. I know you asked for information from somebody who got in, but SDSU was my number one school until a few months ago and I did a lot of research and went to alot of information sessions to make myself familiar with the process.

Texasgrad5911 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks for the info! Did they say anything about how heavily they weigh the GRE writing score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Your very welcome. They want applicants to have the minimum of 4. 5 or 6 is nice but you won't be frowned upon for having a 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassafrass333 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I didn't get in last year because of my GPA and I was told I didn't have enough "international experience" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdsuanxiousapplicant13 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 It seems as if a batch of people heard from SDSU MSW in the end of Feburary... other than that I don't know of anyone else that has heard... hopefully it will be soon :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasgrad5911 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Congrats! Did you apply for 2/3/4 year? DP or ADM? I applied to the 2 yr Direct Practice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassafrass333 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I applied to the 2 yr Direct Practice Did you also apply for the Title IV-E Stipend? I think SDSU (like other schools) won't schedule interviews until you're admitted into the program... still waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adri.H Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Oct 15th 2012 Did USC give you back your application after you withdrew your application??? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Give it back? I hadnt officially hit 'submit' yet, and called them and told them I was no longer interested in applying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassafrass333 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Give it back? I hadnt officially hit 'submit' yet, and called them and told them I was no longer interested in applying. When do you have to submit to SDSU by? I'm wondering if there will be a waitlist in case people decide not to accept the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Their deadline to apply was January 15th. People who are admitted have ten says to accept or decline. Is that what you wanted to know? I declined a month ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdsuanxiousapplicant13 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I was told at an information session that if you applied by February 1st, you would hear by March 1st... Getting impatient, I called yesterday and they said that we are supposed to hear by April 1st. I hope that's the case... only one more week of anxiously waiting....
