rad1993 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Hi all! I submitted my application on February 4th - uploaded my unofficial transcript via the "upload" button on the site. My application status still reads as "submitted" but "incomplete" for my transcript. Is this a bad sign...? Haha. The wait is killing me!
AstoriaGal Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Thank you @ssk14. @rad1993, it takes them forever to change the online portal system... so they probably have everything they need, they just haven't put it online yet.
espressomonster Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 The status of my application still says Pending Interview. I'm trying to wait patiently until I receive an e-mail regarding an interview date. AstoriaGal, was your interview scheduled on a date soon after they e-mailed you?
AstoriaGal Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 @espressomonster, yes, I got the email on Thursday 2/19, and I had the option to have my interview on Monday, Feb 23-March 9. So shortly after you receive the email you'll have the chance to interview.
espressomonster Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Thank you for the information @AstoriaGal.
AstoriaGal Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Has anyone that interviewed heard back yet?
rrrrolo Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I applied to Hunter and completed my app on Feb 5, and still haven't heard anything! the wait is killing me
AstoriaGal Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 @rrrrolo, I feel your pain, I completed by app on 10/21, and they JUST called me for an interview last week. They take forever!

EMK1006 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Congratulations Ssk14! I submitted my app on February 5 and got an email regarding an interview on March 3. Hang in there everybody! Anyone have any tips on the interview?
AstoriaGal Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Congrats SSK! Just be yourself and be relaxed. I think they just want to see how you react with others.
ssk14 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Congratulations Ssk14! I submitted my app on February 5 and got an email regarding an interview on March 3. Hang in there everybody! Anyone have any tips on the interview? Congrats SSK! Just be yourself and be relaxed. I think they just want to see how you react with others. Thank you guys!! For the interview, make sure you're able answer the following questions: Why Social Work? Why Hunter? Be ready to speak about volunteer/professional clinical experiences you've had. There's also a short writing response. You should do fine if you're relaxed and speak honestly.
espressomonster Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Hey everyone. Congrats to those who have been accepted or have received interviews. I'm posting to get your opinion on if I should reach out to the school regarding an interview date. My application was completed on December 12th and my application status says Pending Interview. I am seeing that some people have received interview dates. I am starting to feel worried that I have been forgotten! Do you think I should try contacting the school or just wait it out? Thank you!
rrrrolo Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Mine was completed on 2/5 and I still haven't heard anything, interview or not! natsne24 1

I'd definitely call and ask about your status. Double check your inbox to see if you may have missed an email, too.
espressomonster Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Thank you for your input rrrrolo and ssk14. I am going to try and get in touch with them early next week. I check my email and spam folder frequently, and thought I would have heard by now. I've heard that they are difficult to get in touch with and I'm sure they'll be extra busy since the application deadline just passed! Best of luck everyone.
yankeefan027 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I still haven't heard from hunter for the interview. I knew that the process was going to be long but this long? It's very nerve-racking to not receive anything from them if it's going to be an interview or not. Hopefully for everyone everything goes well. natsne24 1
AstoriaGal Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 @espressomonster, you should definitely call or email, I emailed them about the exact same thing and that same day I got an interview invite.
AstoriaGal Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Should I not check the portal until I get that final review email? I've never heard of anyone getting that before but maybe it's new this year. Ugh I just want a final decision already, this wait is brutal.
rrrrolo Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I just called and asked about when we should expect to hear back - they were pretty unhelpful. I told them I submitted it completely on 2/5 and they said it could take until as long as May to hear back.
toddworld Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 im also in the same boat. have been accepted into every other msw program i applied to and am still randomly "pending interview" for hunter. They told me to keep checking the portal and to watch my email but this is getting really late in the game.... and i am interested in the dual degree with bank street so its really important that they start letting us know what is going on does hunter ever accept applicants without an interview??
