Thanks! 3.5 was my undergrad GPA. I just graduated in December and my only "real" experience was my internship. I'm 22. I really didn't expect to get accepted.

Thanks! I had 3.64 overall GPA undergrad but that includes 18 hours from high school that were mostly B's, a semester abroad that was all B's (Spanish classes), and in Social Work classes I only had two B's (3.94 major GPA or something like that, I calculated it one time). I was also in the Honors Program. I like to tell myself that schools look at that info - I'm not sure if they actually do or not but that's my story as far as GPA goes. Also, if relevant, I applied to the advanced standing at all the programs I applied to, seeing as I have my BSW.

Got accepted Will get my official letter and scholarship offer in the mail soon (hopefully very soon since I live on Boston College's campus haha). But they want a decision within 3 weeks of getting the letter. That is probably not going to happen so hopefully they give me an extension. @Joy418 did you end up requesting an extension and did they grant it? If so, how long was your extension?

I didn't ask for an extension because I decided not to go. Actually I haven't officially notified them yet so I need to do that!
RCtheSS Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Ahh, University of Minnesota has moved my MSW app into FINAL REVIEW. It could go onto "Decision Made" in one day or one week's time, and then I'd still have to wait another business day to receive the actual admission decision. Suspeeeeense. Jessa and saraisabel118 2
Lookingtothefuture Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Is anyone still waiting to hear back from UChicago SSA program?
saraisabel118 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 @RCtheSS Same! My friend's application changed today to "Decision Made" but mine just changed to "Final Review"! I'm incredibly nervous.

AMcCoy Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Hey everyone. My deadline to accept NYU is approaching and I am still waiting to hear back from Columbia. Does anyone know how the deposit works. If I put the deposit down for NYU, can I still change my mind and decide to go to Columbia?

When I log onto my Albert I still have the option to accept/decline and I have been in contact with admissions about visiting a class before I decide but I never asked for an extension on my deposit sooo idk how strict they actually are with it AMcCoy 1

BrendonSW Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 So, guys.. I am in need of advice/tips. Have any of you done a graduate assistantship (GA/GSSA) interview yet? If so, can you give some advice? I have one tomorrow for the University of Michigan and have NO idea what to expect!
leah371 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 anyone know when we'll get financial awards yet? FAFSA results, I mean.

This will vary by university; most are working on different deadlines to receive and process information sent by FAFSA. I would contact financial aid departments at the unis you applied to, if you are curious.
anony2888 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Well, my fellow future social workers, I'm just waiting on UCLA and Berkeley now. I have been rejected from SDSU, which means my hope for those last two is quite dim. I'm not giving up but I am prepared for the worst.
RCtheSS Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Best of luck, @anony2888!! Really hope you get some great news from either program. anony2888 1
pickfights Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Waiting on Berkeley too @anony2888! Good luck. anony2888 1

Still waiting to hear back from the big three (Washington, Wash U, Michigan) and Texas! I applied by 11/20 and just received my acceptance via email from UW (11PM Eastern Time). However, funding (scholarships/fellowships/waivers) will not be made final until May. Yikes! They expect a response by 4/15 with a tuition deposit due in June. I believe financial aid packages will be awarded in March. LAT 1
LAT Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I got into UW! Will turn down PSU. In state tuition!!
RCtheSS Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I applied to UW on January 4 and got accepted last night! Whaaaaaaat? anony2888 1
