Sh!zaam Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 As I feared, my last reference never bothered to send out the reference form for SDSU, probably because it was a paper form, not an online one like most of the other schools I applied to.....thankfully SDSU said my reference could email it to them now and it would be accepted.... Wow. I'm sorry that happened! But, you're very lucky they gave you that option!! I'm glad it worked out . I agree that it was probably because of the whole online and mail-in confusing application procedure; it definitely pushed me back from turning in my application earlier.

Sh!zaam Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 have you heard anything back from sdsu? NO I haven't! I'm assuming you haven't either. I think they will start sending out acceptances end of this month or early March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisydukes Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I hope so. But another person on this forum already received an acceptance letter from them on 1/29 and she applied on 12/1. I didn't apply too much longer after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't apply too much longer after that. No way?! Which post/thread is that on? Please provide a link if you can thanks daisydukes!! I am hoping we hear back soon then, I applied right before the deadline on Dec.11th - and they updated my webportal 1.5 weeks later confirming they had received everything. I wonder how long ours will take?! :/ I am so nervous!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisydukes Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It was in this post where I asked her Cali_Coasst I also emailed the grad assistant for SdSU and she said we'd hear back by the end of late march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the info. Late March is too long to wait impatiently lol. I'm hoping we hear back by the end of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisydukes Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Do you know if SDSU requires advanced standing students to take the qualifying exam? If so when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh!zaam Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Do you know if SDSU requires advanced standing students to take the qualifying exam? If so when? Since ASP is a 1 year program, I would say no, not a qualifying exam because you don't need to go on to the next year. However, in order to graduate from the ASP, you must either write a thesis or take a comprehensive exam (found it on SDSU ASP overview page--pasted below). I would assume that this would be around your last semester in the program. Hope that helps "In addition to the above courses, students must complete either a Thesis ( Plan A ) or a comprehensive written examination ( Plan B ) in order to graduate" http://socialwork.sdsu.edu/degrees-programs/graduate-programs/master-of-social-work/msw-advanced-standing-program/msw-asp-overview/ Edited February 25, 2015 by Sh!zaam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh!zaam Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 I CANNOT STOP REFRESHING MY WEBPORTAL. Gah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soontobemsw Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Sh!zaam, I believe SDSU only updates your webportal page after they send you the acceptance email. So if you're waiting to hear from them, expect to receive an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisydukes Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I received a call from Liz, I didn't get into my program of choice due to then reducing the number of slots (the 1 year) so she offered me a few options, none of which I was interested in. So I will be accepting LB's offer of admission. So my spot will open up for someone else! Good luck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you're waiting to hear from them, expect to receive an e-mail. I'm pretty sure the WebPortal updates before the email-- without the update or change on the WebPortal the email wont automatically send. So that's why I keep checking both simultaneously! Thanks for the heads-up though Edited February 26, 2015 by Sh!zaam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, and good luck with your future academic and professional endeavors! Also, thanks for the update, we all appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soontobemsw Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I was accepted about 3 weeks ago, and my webportal was only updated after I sent my acceptance letter to the school, so you should save yourself the trouble. Sh!zaam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To you, and anyone else who has been accepted--did they give you an interview date with your acceptance notice? In case anyone is wondering or would like to know, there was another acceptance last night according to the results page...

letvasq92 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Which results page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh!zaam Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Which results page? Go to result search at the top panel and search 'SDSU Social Work', the first entry should have today's date, but judging from the comment they left, seems they received an acceptance email last night at around 8:45pm. Le sigh. Edited February 28, 2015 by Sh!zaam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soontobemsw Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hello Sh!zaam, I did not have an interview. I just received an e-mail from them. I'm sure it's torturing to wait this long, but I know a lot of people who are waiting to hear from SDSU. I hope you get in! Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I also ask when you turned in your application? I'm wondering if there is a correlation with that and the admission decision date. I turned mine in very close to the Dec. 15th deadline. Thank you, and congrats on your acceptance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
