Adri0507 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I started filling out my CSU apps yesterday, but stopped at some parts because I needed clarification as far as the academic reference portion goes and what the schools I'm applying to prefer... I'm planning on applying to So Cal schools (CSULA, CSULB, CSUDH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieDot Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Not yet, filling out the initial app on CSU Mentor as soon as I get confirmation on LOR writers this week, but already started PS for a couple of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoone Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I chose CSUs to be cost effective as one of my reasons. I'm sure they'll be just as great as UCs and any other private schools. I'm also applying to programs in SoCal but not sure which... I kind of jumped the gun applying to the ones I mentioned above... Shouldn't have applied so fast... Applying cost a lot of money and I'm not even done yet. Not enough confidence of getting in so I also applied to "back up" schools just in case lol.

hiclub2 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 yes I've noticed CSU's and UC's are the hardest too get in! Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creativesocialworker Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hii guys. I recently got my MSW from UCLA and am open to answering any questions you may have about MSW programs/the application process (uclasocialworker@gmail.com). I also have a blog that provides resources to new social workers (creativesocialworker.tumblr.com). Good luck! Unfortunately you cant get cal/pell grants for grad school :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friedgreentom Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 The mentor application asks you to list 3 faculty members who will be writing your LOR. How are you guys handling this? I was thinking I would either a) just list my 3 references even though some are from work/ professional (not faculty) or better yet just write, LORs to be sent separately. Thank you for your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adri0507 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 friedgreentom, I was confused about this as well. I went to an information session for a CSU I'm applying to and they said it was fine to list the references that you will get letters from, even if they're not academic. However, I'm unsure if this just applies to this particular school, so I plan to ask this question at the info sessions I will attend, or just by contacting them and asking. friedgreentom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
