flinn1mk Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I was wondering, did anyone apply to the advanced standing program at U of M? If you did, did it say in your decision on Wolverine Access anything about being accepted into the Advanced Standing program? Mine says I was accepted into the MSW program, and I'm wondering if this means Advanced Standing, being that that is what I applied for. Please reply if you know!!

jalapeno_bagel Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I received an email from UW Seattle about financial aid, but nothing yet about my admissions decision - weird? The email just says they have received my financial aid app, and what to do when admitted...Has anyone else heard from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdghasdghsjdgas Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I received an email from UW Seattle about financial aid, but nothing yet about my admissions decision - weird? The email just says they have received my financial aid app, and what to do when admitted...Has anyone else heard from them? I received the same email! It made my heart jump out of my chest There is a PDF on the MSW admissions page with updates saying that early decision applicants will hear back by the end of February while people who applied to the regular deadline will hear back by the end of March.

jalapeno_bagel Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Also, to the people who have heard back from Smith - did you really get a letter in the mail? How long ago did you apply? And did your admissions letter tell you where your field placement will be? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mingus1 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I received an email from UW Seattle about financial aid, but nothing yet about my admissions decision - weird? The email just says they have received my financial aid app, and what to do when admitted...Has anyone else heard from them? Hi jalapeno_bagel, Did the email begin with this: "We have received your financial aid application for the 2015-16 year. If you are a continuing student or are admitted to the UW, and are eligible for aid, your application will go through a review process. We may ask you to provide information before or after we offer you aid. Please respond promptly to every request. Once we have awarded you aid, we will send you an award notice via email."? If so, I received it, too! Puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SocialWaiter Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 My impression is the Financial Aid department is seprate and independent (theoretically) of the Social Work/Admissions department. FAFSA sends out info to all the schools entered in your FAFSA application. So my guess is some schools start estimating & preparing financial aid packages to all applicants early on, rather than wait until hearing from the admissions commitee respectively. Which sort of makes sense because students typically want to make decisions on what schools they will attend, and it would help if the financial aid info was available sooner rather than later. The email includes the conditional "If you...are admitted to the UW...your application will go through a review process." So the financial aid department may not know yet if you're admitted, but they may want to get a head start to ensure your financial aid application is complete and ready (e.g. they have all the info they need, such as tax returns, etc...).

SjsuMswstudent16 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi everyone! I am a current MSW first year student at SJSU. I was accepted Fall 2014. I was once in your position, anxiously waiting for acceptance to one of the 3 schools I applied. I told myself I would return to this thread once in the program to answer any questions but I'm more informed about my program at SJSU! FEEL free to email me: Kalidiana18@yahoo.com I have posted in the: "SJSU MSW FALL 2015" thread. Best of luck to every one of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSelfChicago Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just received this from the University of Chicago (Social Work, PhD) I've blanked out all names. Dear ______, I am writing to let you know that you have been placed on a very short waiting list for the SSA PhD program. You will be receiving an official letter soon from ______ _____ in the admissions office. The doctoral admissions committee saw many strengths in your application and is convinced that you are highly qualified to be a PhD student at SSA. ______ ____________, in particular, gave us an enthusiastic endorsement of your application. However, there was much competition this year from applicants with strong backgrounds in social work practice, policy, and research. About half the time we are able to make admissions offers from the waiting list. I won’t know how likely that is this year until late March or early April. I would be happy to set up a meeting to talk with you, if you would find that helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my Penn in person interview in LA last week and I think it went well. Has any heard from Penn or have any info on how generous they are with their grants? thanks! I was accepted to Upenn about a week and a half after my interview - they both emailed me to check my admissions decision letter online, and called me on the phone. They gave me $20,000 total, for the two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
