sunnyskies13 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I called the social work office. They did confirm that the admissions was from the university and that I should be hearing from the department in a couple days with further information. They said the order of things is a little different this year because this is the first year they have required a deposit for graduates. Also my application status has changed from referred to grad department to admitted and accepted offer of admission. Hope this clarified a little bit.
MSW2015SR Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Well that does make sense, just odd since we would have to pay the $250 and if the department doesn't accept us we would have to be reimbursed? Edited March 25, 2015 by MSW2015SR
dreamcatcher725 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 so sunnyskies, does it mean we're in and their timing is just off?
sunnyskies13 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I think the timing coordination is just off. Just because I like to be on the safe side I will not withdraw my other applications yet. But the office said not to worry and we should be fine.
Caz Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Congratulations everyone who is in so far!! Did you guys get admitted to full time or part time?? Â Good Luck to everyone else, I am also hoping for us!
dreamcatcher725 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Caz- I was accepted to the full time program
socialwork2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hi everyone! I applied to csuf and csulb. I applied on the last day so I still have a long wait before I hear back
socialwork2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! Did u guys receive the email at your personal email address or your csuf email address? Any idea of when the next set of emails will go out?
MSW2015SR Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 socialwork2015- I received it on my personal email. Make sure you are also checking your spam folder, several peers that applied last year received their acceptances via email on their spam folder.
socialwork2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks Msw2015sr. Can I ask what made you choose CSULB over CSUF? Those are the two schools I applied to and if I get into both I have no idea which one to choose!
MSW2015SR Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 socialwork2015- I'm CSULB alumni, that's why. It's really just a matter of convenience and familiarity for me. They're both good schools. I recommend going to each one, visit their SW department and explore the campus, then make your decision.
sunnyskies13 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I applied for the full time program. I just wanted to confirm that I received a letter from the department today through personal and CSUF email confirming admission. So how the process goes is you get an email from the university offering admission to your personal and CSUF email. Then about five days later, the department sends you more information. No mention of an interview. Just some additional forms to complete. Good luck to everyone!
sunnyskies13 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Oh you know what, now that I'm looking over the letter more there is a mention that "traditionally, we have applicants participate in an interview" however that will not be necessary for my application. So that theory about some people having to interview and some may not have to interview looks to be true.
dreamcatcher725 Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 yep, I'm the same as sunnyskies. I received my admission to the university email a couple days ago and then today, I received admission from the department. they stated that they don't need to interview me, but if I'd like to meet with the department chair, I can make an appointment. orientation isn't until August. good luck to those still waiting
MSW2015SR Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah I received the same letter Friday! No interview. Will be returning the form declining their offer.
esp.msw Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Nothing yet...gosh I can't believe it's almost April!
Flowerneck Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I haven't received anything either. I keep checking my email and when I dont see anything from CSUF I log onto my CSUF Google account to see if I have anything in there; there isn't haha. I'm getting very discouraged, but CSUF is a great school with a great program so I'll continue waiting
Tonk143 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Hang in there everyone! They are not done sending out interview invitations/acceptances!

Tonk143 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Eep, you will know this week for sure right? Do you plan on calling by the end of the week or sooner? I plan on calling the end of next week if I don't hear anything by then. From what my friends told me, they were invited to an interview in April/May last year. Woooosahhhhhh Edited March 31, 2015 by Tonk143
