jaypea09 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 LOL! I did too!!!!! I woke up and checked my email for a weird reason it felt kinda nice to not be waiting! Ugh! I just want an answer. Same here. The feeling of things being out of my control is what stresses me out. Lets keep our fingers crossed and keep a positive mindset.

omar760 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) USC gave me a two week extension to let them know whether I was attending or not. I submitted my intent to enroll at USC today (deadline) after waiting all week to hear from UCLA! It feels weird committing without knowing all my options, but that's life! Good luck to all of those waiting to hear! #FightOn Edited March 15, 2014 by omar760 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswforlife Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 You did the right thing Omar. But it seems to me that UCLA is still considering you, or they would not give you that extension. To others they are saying that decisions has been made. You may be accepted by UCLA, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMSW Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) @omar760 It sucks that Ucla is taking so long!! They had initially said we would hear back at the end of the week :/ You can always accept and then withdraw your application, that's what I did last year when I got into csun and USC. I ended up not going there and chose to apply to Ucla this year instead. This is the ONLY school i applied to this year. USC is an amazing program and it is actually ranked higher for social work, I would have definitely gone there if tuition weren't over $80,000. I couldn't fathom taking out so much in loans when I will not be making a lot as a social worker in the first place. I know that USC asks for a deposit when you accept, but the way I see it, that deposit is nothing compared to the $$$ you will be paying for tuition. If UCLA accepts you, it's a win-win because you'll have gotten into the school you really wanted to go and you will definitely save a lot in tuition, even though you paid your deposit to USC. If ucla doesnt accept you, then you can be at peace knowing you did the right thing by accepting USC's offer. Good luck!

hiclub2 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Ranking doesn't matter in social work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessMSW Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 @hiclub2 It matters to some people... An msw is an msw regardless, but for a lot of us it's not just about the title after your name, it's about the experience you will get at that specific program.

esimanon Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So, according to the results page, people are getting emails now to check the UCLA website - and it has showed that they've been accepted?

esimanon Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I just searched "UCLA" under the "Results Search" tab and found that some people were admitted via an email that prompted them to check the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14'msw Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) I did notice that someone was advised to check the website! I am positive by this week we will get some answers. But this wait is killing! Edited March 17, 2014 by 14'msw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar760 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Omar760: do you mind me asking how much it was? it was $280, not as bad as other USC programs. My buddy got into their PT program and his was $1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar760 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah, my friend who earlier enrolled at USC, said she received the kiss of death email earlier this week. I'm going to guess we're either in or at the very least not for sure "no"s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee222 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I had an interview with CSUN the week you did mswforlife, it is my top choice. Do you know how long it will take to hear back? I have some other schools that want an answer by the end of this month Also, have you heard anything regarding that if you get an interview you are basically in?Or is there still a large possibility of rejection?

sociakworkit Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) If you havent looked at creativesocialworker.tumblr.com yet, it was realllyyy helpful to me. The women who runs it was a UCLA MSW and has answered soo many questions for me and will send you a ton of ebooks if you email her (even ones for class like the DSM). Her email is uclasocialworker@gmail.com. For those of you trying again next year she will read your personal statement and give you a lot of great feedback. Also, I hear that the deadline USC states doesnt really mean anything. They apparently continue contacting people to enroll for months after and even send them info about financial packages.

How do you feel about that? What day was your interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
