futurespeechie Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Has anyone applied here and heard back from them? Just wondering since it seems that last year they sent out invitations to interview around this time.
coffeeandtea Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Hi! I applied and was just notified that I made it to Stage II.... They want to interview me in a couple of weeks and I'm so nervous right now. What about you?
futurespeechie Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Just received an email invitation to interview in a few weeks as well! I haven't done many group interviews before so I'm also nervous!
coffeeandtea Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Congratulations! I'm really nervous too. Are you doing it in person or online?
futurespeechie Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 I'm doing it in person. What about you?
coffeeandtea Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Nope unfortunately I have to do it via webcam since I have a midterm a few hours afterward and I live in LA
ellaayayay Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I called yesterday and they said they will have all decisions for interviewees by the end of next week.

ellaayayay Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Yeah I am in between them and PSU right now. I really loved the staff at SFSU and their autism program is perfect for me - but I already got accepted to PSU can get in-state tuition next year through them. Plus I already live in Portland, just moved hear last September from Connecticut so I am prettttttty sure that it will be hard to say yes to SFSU if I get in. Cost of living in the Bay is just too crazy. Guess depends on what they offer me if they offer anything at all. We will see.....

I am in the same boat where I am very interested in the autism program at SFSU, but the cost of living is soo high. I'm also not a city girl so condensed, busy cities like SF stress me out.. and I think grad school itself will be stressful enough as it is. So I'm also pretty sure that I most likely won't choose SFSU if accepted.. such a bummer because I really want to be involved in the autism program, but realistically I don't trust that I will cope well with being in the city. :/

There are certainly parts of SF that do not feel like Downtown. The SFSU campus is way closer to the quiet suburb areas....definitely not as condensed as the rest of the city. But yeah, cost of living is astronomical. I was just scouring craigslist for apts in the area for fun a minute ago. Just a fucking ROOM in one of these places is close to 85% of the cost of my entire apartment in Portland right now. It really doesn't make any sense at all to leave here if that's the case.

It really doesn't make any sense at all to leave here if that's the case. I'm from a very suburban town in norcal away from the bay area so I've been spoiled by having lots of space, so for the most part SF feels pretty condensed, or just really cramped, to me haha. But yeah it's mostly how crazy the cost of living is!! I'm lucky enough to also have been accepted elsewhere where it's a lot cheaper to live so if it came down to a decision, it'd be hard for me to justify choosing SF. I'd rather have the spot go to someone who really wants to be there in every aspect anyway. We'll see! Good luck everyone!! Edited March 21, 2015 by futurespeechie

Please_try_again Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Does anyone know if they'll send the letter via email or regular mail? I know rejections were sent through regular mail prior to the interview.
ellaayayay Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I would imagine if you were interviewed you will get a phone call - if not accepted probably an email.
speechpath Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 has anyone not received an e-mail? I saw that some people were accepted via e-mail but I haven't received anything and am getting worried.
Please_try_again Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I haven't received anything either, so I'm checking my email every 5 minutes. Hah. I think I need to force myself to stay away from my email and this website for the rest of the day. It's driving me crazy!! Does anyone know if SFSU accepts their internal candidates before external like other colleges do?
ellaayayay Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I saw one person received notice but I haven't heard either. Was interviewed a few weeks ago.
Positive Thoughts Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I received an email that said I was "recommended for admission" if I fulfilled certain terms such as fingerprints. Seemed like an odd way to send out a letter of acceptance, but I think I'm in. Anyone else get this email?

Seemed like an odd way to send out a letter of acceptance, but I think I'm in. Anyone else get this email? I also received that email and it said the fingerprints etc. needed to be submitted by April 3. Do you know if submitting those items mean that were choosing to accept or is it just a requirement to be officially admitted and then we have until April 15 to decide?
Please_try_again Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Hm. I'm assuming that since I didn't receive an email, I've been rejected. I think I saw on the results that rejections are sent out via postal mail. So, I guess I'll have to wait until I get home today to see! congrats to you guys who received the email. It's interesting that they didn't say upfront that you were accepted. I'd email or call them asking if sending in the fingerprints and everything means you're accepting.
coffeeandtea Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 oh no... I'm really nervous that I got rejected because I haven't heard anything still
futurespeechie Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 So I emailed about the requirements deadline and here's their response: "The COC is a requirement to be officially recommended for admission. Once you submit that requirement, we will finalize your recommendation for the University’s final admission. You have until April 15 to let us know if you want to come to SF State."
ellaayayay Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 i didnt hear either. assuming rejection as well
