socialworkgirl Posted May 14, 2015 Share 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! Remember MSWcaligal to notify CSULB to take you off the pending status list.... Congrats on getting into CSUF!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happiness_System Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hello! Can someone tell me how to check for 'pending' status? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esp.msw Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Hello! Can someone tell me how to check for 'pending' status? Thank you! You can't really check for a pending status. They'll basically get back to you at the end of the application cycle when all decisions have been made. Sorry, but it sounds like we're all in limbo right now. Basically waiting for people to reject their admittance, remove themselves from the pending list and finishing up all the bulk of the applications. what I've read from multiple sources is that they are shooting for all decisions to be made by the end of this month. So hang in there, just a couple more weeks.. Edited May 15, 2015 by saidypooMSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deez Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 May 15, 2015 Dear _________: The School of Social Work admissions office is about to conclude this application evaluation cycle. We appreciate your patience during this period. As you know, your application was placed on a pending list to be considered for acceptance later in the cycle. Final admission decisions are determined according to available program seats and the application assessment. Unfortunately, based on your ranking among other applicants, we cannot offer you acceptance into the Master of Social Work (MSW) program for Fall 2015. Each application is important to us; therefore, the assessment process is conducted in a thorough and systematic manner. The decisions are based on academic preparation, references, work/volunteer experience, and personal statement. We receive a large volume of applications each year for a limited number of seats. The process is highly competitive with many qualified candidates turned away. For your information, you are eligible to apply to the program more than once. The requirements and application for Fall 2016 will be posted on our website in October 2015. If you intend to reapply, please send us written notification before December 15, 2015. For guidance on how to strengthen your application, please email a written request to CHHS-SW@csulb.edu after August 15, 2015. Please note that receiving guidance does not guarantee you admission in a future cycle. We wish you the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Lisa Fascia, MBA Director of Admissions School of Social Work Admissions Office California State University, Long Beach 1250 Bellflower Boulevard Long Beach, CA 90840-4602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deez Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Yes I got in to CSUDH 2yr program and accepted in January. I had been in communication with the MSW program these past couple of weeks that I alomst forgot I was pending with CSULB. It wasn't my first choice but convienent to be closer to my home. Good luck to those on the pending list, I pray everyone gets in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esp.msw Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I hope I hear soon. My current employer is offering me a supervisory position and if I don't get in anywhere, this would be a great opportunity. There's a lot lying with these type of things. I wish they could understand that a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax_Nise Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I attended the CSULB orientation on May 9th and asked specific questions. I found out that they received around 1,100 applications. The person told me they still needed to read through 300 more applications. The person went on to say that there are three (3) people reading through each application. Moreover, there are three (3) categories applications will fall in: 1. accepted, 2. pending status, and 3. rejected. When placed on pending status the applicant is given a number for example 74-50. The higher the number, such as 70, the more likely the applicant will be accepted. In other words, it's a point system based on the strength of the entire application from grades to personal statement and references. It is important to note that the person told me they will be making final decisions in July because they expect to know for sure who declined their offer (those accepted but declined and those on pending status who were accepted else where). I hope this information is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtor2007 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes there is still hope... Stay positive. The next orientation is scheduled for July 9, 2015 and that's probably because they are still reviewing applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esp.msw Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Still, I'm pretty bummed. I've been put on pending in the past and it never worked out in my favor. I'm really trying to stay positive, but darnit it's so frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialwork2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Just got an email and was put on pending status. Try emailing them to ask what your number/score is. Maybe throw in some stuff to show how interested you are in their program? I still haven't heard anything.
