surfinman Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Has anyone heard anything from UNC's School of Social Work??? They're taking way too long to decide. Is anyone else applying to UNC?
aav Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I applied, too, but haven't heard back yet ... a friend wrote the admissions office to get a better idea of a timeline and this was the response: Every effort is made to notify Advanced Standing applicants by March 15th. All decisions for full and part-time programs are made progressively from February 15th to May 15th. After going through a review process, the School of Social Work makes a recommendation to the Graduate School, they make the final decision and mail the letters. I saw that someone in the results section had been rejected via email yesterday, but I didn't hear anything and don't even know whether I should be expecting an email or a letter in the mailbox. Good luck waiting!
surfinman Posted March 13, 2009 Author Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah, that was my post. I didn't apply as advanced standing, so am not sure if there is a different time line as far as acceptances are concerned. I know that they have sent recommendations to the grad school already, and the grad school is sending out the letters now. I got the decision early by emailing them and asking for it. REJECTED. Really disappointed, because I had great marks, great recs., and a good deal of experience, but not even waitlisted. Also, before you get your hopes up, I know that due to the economy the school is cutting back on its acceptances this year. According to the article I read, by doing this the people who are accepted receive enough funding. This is a little ridiculous, in my opinion, because a lot of deserving applicants are left with nothing, but oh well. Hope this helps. Good luck.
scarfseeker Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 i applied here also, and haven't heard back. this is the last school i am waiting for, but now i'm thinking i should just give up and accept the offer somewhere else...
scarfseeker Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Just got the mail today and got my acceptance! Hooray! Looks like they sent my letter out on the 17th. Hopefully others will receive theirs soon!
