MSWSOON Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yep ! I'm super excited about it too, but nervous about the wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiclub2 Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Oh you already applied?which schools did you apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagranhermana Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yes! Applied to NYU for the 16-month accelerated. Really wanted to apply to Hunter but they pretty much told me that unless I had a lot of experience, I shouldn't bother with their accelerated program. Bummed about that. Where are you guys applying to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiclub2 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 USC, NYU, and Columbia. you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagranhermana Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I only applied to NYU for Spring 2014. There aren't too many options for a spring start. If I don't get it, I'm looking to apply to Hunter and USC for Fall 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagranhermana Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 has anyone heard back from any spring MSW programs yet?! on the edge of my seat here :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmoose Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've called Hunter a couple times... they originally said I'd hear within a week of my interview. But I had my interview just over 2 weeks ago now. Bummer. Was the only place I applied. Guess it'll be fall 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagranhermana Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 hopefully you'll hear back soon! i've read on this blog that people have waited way longer than expected and still got in. do you have a lot of direct experience? i really wanted to apply to hunter but they were so clear about not bothering for the accelerated spring program unless you had ample experience in the field. i didn't have much so i figured i wouldn't bother. i'm curious about others who did apply though!

melmoose Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 yeah there is probably a small chance i'll still hear something positive. i have a year full time as a behavioral health specialist / eating disorder clinician and a year of psych research. everyone i interviewed with seemed to have a similar amount if not more no news on your apps yet? when are you supposed to hear? such a hard wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagranhermana Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I only applied to NYU and I'm supposed to hear within a week or two. I'm nervous because this is a career change for me. Aside from volunteer work with an indigenous community in the amazon for a little over year, my background lies primarily in advertising/people management/HR. Was Hunter the only school you applied to? I'm holding my fingers crossed for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmoose Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 and my are crossed for you! hunter was the only school i applied to for the spring semester because it's the only school i was entirely certain i wanted to attend. nyu and columbia are so expensive that i wouldn't want to commit to them unless i knew it was my only option. wow- your volunteer work sounds incredible. i'm sure that's a very unique experience to have under your belt. hope it serves you well.

zizek!85 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Could anyone tell me when you submitted your applications? I applied to Hunter, NYU, and Columbia for the accelerated program. I see that some people have already had their admissions interview at Hunter whereas my status has not changed. Does this mean anything? Thanks.

lagranhermana Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 i submitted my application to nyu on the 1st of october and according to the site, it was complete and sent for review on the 4th. i haven't heard from them yet. memoose - i hear you on the $$. i have no idea how i'm going to pay for it yet! zizek!85 - have you heard from nyu/or columbia? when did you submit yours? thanks!

zizek!85 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I submitted all of my apps the day before they were due. My NYU status was updated to "sent for review" soon after submitting but have heard nothing since. I received an email from Columbia a few days ago that my application was complete and ready for review. My Hunter application still says submitted (although I have nothing outstanding).

melmoose Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 my hunter one still says submitted as well - even though i've been in for an interview. frustrating. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizek!85 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Application status for Hunter changed to "pending program decision." With no interview, I guess this means I'm out of the running. Can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmoose Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 unfortunately - thats almost certainly true. i know they interview all accepted candidates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmoose Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 relieved - just found out i got in. really glad i won't have to wait until the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
