CSULB_MSW_18 Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Hi fellow MSW applicants, I heard from CSULB and was accepted to the MSW 3-year program!! I've included my timeline below in case anyone is wondering. Hope it helps! Feb 16 – I submitted my application to department via walk-in Mar 17 – Received an e-mail from the School of Social Work confirming they received my application Apr 10 – Received an MSW 3-year program Admission Offer via e-mail I was given 10 days to make a decision. CSULB MSW is the only program I applied to, so I eagerly accepted the offer of admission the same day. I attend New Student Orientation on May 9, and register for classes on May 11. Congrats to everyone who has been accepted and good luck to those waiting to hear!

I was just told my application is under review now and I'm about to shi* my pants. Lb is my first choice.

Lb is my first choice. Lol. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Who told u it was under review? Did u call the department or check status online?
esp.msw Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Lol. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Who told u it was under review? Did u call the department or check status online? I made the mistake of looking over my statement of purpose and caught singer awful mistakes,so I emailed Lisa to see if I could send a revised version, and she said I couldn't because it's under review and ive had horrid anxiety since.
socialwork2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Maybe the mistakes weren't that bad. At this point we are all tense and overly critical of ourselves. Hope u get some good news soon!

Lb is my first choice. Yes, 3-year is my first choice. I currently work in the field and the 3-year program will allow me to keep working throughout. At least in the beginning. Yay for having your application go through to the reviewal process! Good luck!! Hope you get your answer soon.
lilyana90 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Congrats!! Did you apply to the 3 year or were you offered the 3 year? I'm reapplying too, hopefully i hear good news too! I applied for 3 year as my first choice as i want to continue working. Don't lose hope. I really thought my personal statement was horrible but it got me in. Keep your head up!
lcornell1992 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I applied to the 2-yr program. It says I'm under pending status. Not sure what that means. Anyone know the likelihood of getting rejected/accepted? And congrats!

And congrats! That basically means that they won't make a decision until the end of the application cycle. Usually because your application had merit, just not enough to fall under the "admitted right away". Its kinda like a wait list.
socialwork2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I called the department to check the status of my application and they said they dont give status updates She did say that they hope to finish reviewing all the apps in May. Key word HOPE. I can't take this anymore I'm wondering if I should just go back to USC

Anyone know the likelihood of getting rejected/accepted? And congrats! Well that's progress. I'm still under department review. How did u find out you were pending?

There are additional things you can do to help you if you decide to reapply.
CSULB_MSW_18 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 At the new student orientation today they confirmed that not everyone has been admitted to the program yet. They're still sifting through applications.

socialwork2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Does anyone know if they can see how many times we have requested our application status report? I check my every few days and I don't want to seem like a pyscho Lol!
esp.msw Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Lmao!! That's a legitimate concern! I'm pretty sure someone somewhere knows the count. Some tech-guy laughing at our misery. Lol
socialwork2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Got this email today- Your MSW application is currently under review by our faculty. You should receive an email from the CHHS-SW@csulb.edu email account once the evaluation is complete. We are hoping to have the bulk of the decisions by the end of this month; however, given the volume of applications we received, it may take a bit longer. Thank you for your patience during this process. Regards,
Mswfuture Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 received an email today that my status is pending and I will have to wait until July to have a final response. Not sure how to feel about this. Just staying positive and praying

Just staying positive and praying Thats rough. I guess they don't care about the other arrangements we have to make(jobs, apply for scholarships, relocation, etc) in order to go to grad school
MSWcaligal Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Hello all, I applied to CSULB Jan 11. I received the pending status email on March 30th and have been ever since. So that 5 months in total. I know calling is pointless but I'm getting pretty irritated with just waiting. I was accepted to CSUF; however, CSULB is my first choice. But because I have to submit my acceptance to CSUF by May 27th, I don't want to risk not having any school, so I am choosing to play it safe than sorry, and go with CSUF. I did my undergrad there and had an amazing educational experience. So i am excited good luck to all!
