anony2888 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Nope. Cal was a major reach for me on all fronts and I had to try even though I knew my numbers weren't up to par.
broham Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 That blows. I thought they were more holistic, and tbh kinda hoping numbers aren't the end all of the admission process.
Ketki Jadhav Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Got accepted to The Tisch College of Arts, ITP program today morning. I haven't received any news about scholarship although they did mention in the mail that they will be sending in details for financial aid shortly. I don't know if that meant sending a list of general scholarship options or if they will announce the scholarships then. Has anyone got accepted in with a scholarship? If so, Congratulations! But please do let me know too! Best of Luck to everyone else who is still waiting for results.
broham Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Congrats!! Is today the day for cal??? Gonna be a looooong weekend....
pickfights Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 For Cal they said 'around March 15' so I'm assuming next week is when they're gonna roll in. Can't imagine admission decisions going out on a weekend but who knows.
broham Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Yea I know. Based on my insane search through previous threads/results it appears in prior years people were notified the friday before the date they gave, but yea, I meant it will be a long weekend if nothing comes through. Going out of the country next week and was really hoping to know beforehand.

Rosie7 Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Has anyone who applied to University of Chicago SSA by the January 15 deadline heard back?

RCtheSS Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I applied by the Jan. 15 deadline and heard back within two weeks, so I don't know how their process really works!

They told me I would be hearing in the next week, but it's difficult with finals being this week and spring break is next for them.
pickfights Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 I have a question about Berekeley. I got an email from the Social Welfare department about my acceptance (yay) and in the letter it said that 'official notification of admission to the University will follow shortly from the graduate division.' I was admitted Friday morning, and now it's Wednesday morning. I'm wondering how long 'shortly' is? When should I expect word from the university at large? Thanks

I'm still waiting and I applied Jan 15. Very frustrating. It's going to suck waiting this long to just get rejected. We should hear back by the end of this week... hopefully.

I poked around in some earlier (2011) forums that had students waiting until early April, all of which got accepted. So hopefully history repeats itself with acceptances! Good luck!

That is miserable! I might have to commit to another school before hearing back. the song lyric "say something I'm giving up on you" relates to this waiting so much... ugh. their website said March 15 it should be March 15!

Agreed. Have you tried calling the office? Let them know that you have a deadline to another school, but are hoping to hear from them beforehand. Maybe they can speed up the process for you. Or call the other school and ask for an extension?
BamaBound Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I applied to the University of Alabama at the end of December of 2015. I heard back early March that I was accepted into the Advance Standing MSW program since I have my BSW from an accredited college. The application process was tiresome. SOP along with an additional paper for the School of Social Work, but nothing impossible.
TaylorKS Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Has anyone heard from SFSU or CSUEB? I know SFSU said end of spring (hoping for earlier rather than later)! But I haven't heard a thing from CSUEB!
pickfights Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 @TaylorKS I've heard that SF State can take until May D: they are the worst!
KatieJaiYen Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Hi All, I have a broad question so I thought to post here. Is it common to deposit/confirm enrollment at multiple schools if the timing of financial assistance doesn't match decision dates? Basically, I have received scholarship information from Michigan that makes it feasible to attend, but my top choice is still UW-Seattle. I will not know any news on fellowships or assistantships at UW until well after the final decision date for Michigan. I have talked to a few in the forum community about this, but wanted to ask more broadly...is anyone else committing to multiple in the hopes of receiving more financial assistance? I think there is a small part of me that is irked by it, but perhaps it's normal practice I am not doing a great job of advocating for myself. Would love any advice or thoughts!
ljo377 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I would ask for an extension for your decision deadline for Michigan rather than put down several hundred dollars if you're not sure you will attend. It is worth a shot!
KatieJaiYen Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 @ljo377 The reality is that I can't get an extension long enough on the scholarship/special program. Just wondering if anyone else had gone this route.
