MSW03 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Hey everyone! This thread is for those who have submitted application to the CSU's and are waiting for decisions. It's only December and I'm already so nervous with anticipation about my admission decisions. Hopefully this thread can help alleviate some stress for everyone. Applied: CSUDH (Nov 1), CSULA (Nov 15), CSUN (Dec 2), and CSULB (about to submit) Currrently I have only received confirmation emails from CSUDH and CSUN that they have received my application and will be forwarded for review. I know CSULA will notify us by end of Feb, CSUN starting Jan - March, but I am wondering has anyone been admitted yet to CSUDH who turned in their application already? Thanks guys
Adri0507 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Hello! I applied to CSULA (Nov 15), and CSUF (Nov 28). I am also about to submit my app for CSULB. I wasn't aware that CSULA won't notify until February. When I went to their info session they said that the sooner you turn in your app, the earlier you would hear back, which is why I turned it in early. Perhaps I misunderstood?? Good luck!
MSW03 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Hello adri0507! About the CSULA apps, when I turned my in they told me I'll be notified no later than February so we may know earlier but no later than Feb. Those who turned it in after Nov 15 won't be notified of their admission decisions until late May and June!

friedgreentom Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 May or June?!! That is LATE. Oh dear...
MSW03 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 Has anyone who applied to CSUN received an email being invited for an interview? Also has anyone heard back from any CSU's?
theeeeena Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 I feel like this is a stupid question...but CSU grad school applicants get interviews?
MSW03 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 I applied to four CSU's and only one of them conducts interviews, CSUN
speechgirl811 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Did you apply to the distance learning program?
onenametim Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I applied to CSULA on jan 15th, the day of the deadline. I am also going to apply to CSUF, CSULB, CSUDH, hopefully all by jan 31st. Hoping i Get into csuf or csulb.
MSW03 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 @speechgirl811 - I applied only to the on-campus full time programs, although now I'm regretting not broadening my options :/ @onenationtim - great! That's so awesome, hope you get your first choices do keep us updated on your admission decisions or any info I applied to CSULB last year & was put on pending admission, didn't hear anything till July & finally offered a spot in Older Adults & Families but declined due to my passion for children & youth, hopefully it goes better this time for me.
onenametim Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Describe your experiences with diverse populations and groups, and how those experiences have contributed to your interest in social work. Which population (defined by culture, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, psychological and/or physical functioning) would you like to serve and why? i'm having a little bit of a problem answering this question. There is a population (kids and families) that i would like to work with, but does that make me too narrow minded? Should i say more groups? Should i say i want to work with everyone? thanks
tiennnthai Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Applied to: USC- 10/08- accepted 11/07 CSUF - 10/2 CSULB- 11/14 Make sure you submit those CSULB apps quick since they are on a rolling admission system!

It comes off more honest and it will show in your work experience Oh! and it will also determine which category you will be placed in.
onenametim Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 @tiennnthai Thanks for the feedback. Wow, it looks like you were way ahead of the game. Did you hear back from CSUF or CSULB yet? Also, does that mean you have picked USC?
speechgirl811 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 oh ok! i applied to the distance learning program for csun. We should be hearing back soon. I don't know anyone who has done this program, have you heard any bad/good reviews?
MSW03 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 @onenametim - i would mold your answer based on the program you are applying to.. For example, the program may have you choose an emphasis (such as children, youth & families) or the program may take an advanced generalist approach where they want you to be competent in a variety of settings. Hope this helps!
MSW03 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 @Speechgirl - sorry I haven't talked to anyone that's done the distance program but I'm sure it's just as spectacular! Do you know if CSUN also does interviews for the long distance program?
tiennnthai Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 @onenametime I have only gotten confirmation emails from CSULB and CSUF but still no reply as to whether I got in or not I am still working out financial issues with USC so for now, my decision to attend is on hold. I would love to go there though! Have you finished with all of your apps?
MSW03 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 I received an email from CSUN today advancing me to the next round for interviews!! whew.. I'm happy just to hear some good news
BJimenez Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Has anyone applied to the Online MSW program at CSUN?
bellebruin Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Did anyone apply to SDSU? The wait is soo long. I think I heard that letters won't come out until April or May.... That's still another 2-3 months!
mpainter Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I applied to SDSU. I know that the wait is probably long, but I've heard there are number of other CSU's (LB for one I hear) that take until June. I think it's just something that happens. Just look at the bright side. You can relax, and then make any plans come when the time comes.
TLC Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I applied to SDSU last cycle as soon as they started accepting applications. I submitted EVERYTHING that very first day (OCT I think?) and heard back in March. I will check and give you specific dates if you want. I was overzealous and applied at all of my schools as soon as they accepted applications
