BunnyMeadows Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 OK, I am officially stir crazy. This is just a vent. I have heard nothing, nada, zilch from 3 programs I applied to in January (one is CSU Chico, which I believe notifies on March 30th). Another school keeps sending me letters (for weeks) about how they can't review my app because I applied with a slightly different name than what's listed on FAFSA. A name change form, and various emails later, it is STILL not updated on the portal. Does anyone else think that this is indicative of a poorly run school or program? Or is it normal? My therapist has told me to consider things like this before saying "yes," to avoid potential frustrations as a future MSW student at a university. The same university is also showing a missing transcript when I know it arrived 2 weeks ago. And it is being listed as an unmet "student requirement" that's holding up the review of my application. AAAAAaaaaaaarrrggghhhhhh. Oh, did I mention that I'm impatient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gram Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Arizona State (but only submitted 2 weeks ago), U of KY, Case Western, U of SC, and four others that will remain unnamed. One of the schools I applied to had "missing transcripts" in my online to-do list. It was a simple matter of contacting the Graduate IT to get it fixed. Give that a try and see if it doesn't clear that up for you. Provide them with the tracking ID you used when you mailed the transcript if they give you a hard time. Hope this helps!

MermaidturnedMSW Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I would definitely call and continue to check on the "missing" documents so that your apps can move forward in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyMeadows Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm a little concerned, because someone in the grad sch office told me they would accept an unofficial transcript if it was emailed directly from the college I attended. If it becomes an issue at least have the person's name from the grad school office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sluetgenau Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hey Bunny - I'm going nuts over here so you're not alone. I just wanted to chime in and say that I wouldn't judge a university's MSW program based on your experience with their admissions staff. Best of luck to you - I'm sure you'll start hearing from folks soon. hyronomus4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
