RCtheSS Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday break! As much as I should have, I didn't work on any applications while I was on vacation with family. Last night I managed to submit my MSW apps for Minnesota and Washington, leaving me with UT-Austin, Michigan and UChicago. I'm going to hunker down and get all social work and public policy apps submitted by this Friday so I can truly be done with this application cycle!

yogaandpearls06 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just finished submitting all my applications for 2-year MSW and I'm already obsessively checking my application sites for a response haha RCtheSS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky_stars Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Does anyone know when U Houston starts sending out acceptances? They opened the MSW applications in August and say they're on a rolling cycle (March is the cutoff date, I guess?) I can't find dates of acceptances from former cycles :| I'm also doing the MSW/MPH dual program, so timed both applications to be done for UT Houston's 12/1 priority deadline. Turning in the UH one early would have been pointless because they need my final transcript and I had classes in the fall. My GRE was pretty good (315/4.0), my GPA for upper levels was 3.8 range--I'm worried that my SOP is going to be a weak spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwde2009 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Checking in here. I've submitted my advanced standing applications at San Diego State University, Michigan, WUSTL, U Washington, University of Kentucky, and University of Texas - Austin. Still have Boston College and University of Denver left to send in but I just need to edit my essays so they should be submitted by the end of the week. I've submitted all of mine within the past couple of weeks. I think I'll be applying to University of Louisville too just to have two in state schools. I'll let y'all know how it goes. Good luck everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMcCoy Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 yogaandpearls06 That's amazing!!! Congratulations :-) I just submitted my application for NYU Advanced Standing MSW yesterday. I hope to hear back as quickly as you. How were you notified? By email, mail, phone, etc... Also did you have to complete an interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCtheSS Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Finished my remainining MSW applications this weekend, and now I can finally say I am done applying for programs this cycle! Honestly, I feel like I'll have no issue waiting out the results from admissions. I don't want to think about this stuff anymore unless I have to, lol.

fenetian Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 On 12/30/2015 at 10:16 AM, flip456 said: fenetian, I am applying there as well I will need to check that out. Mine has been marked verified correct for all but two items. I have had everything in for about 2 months yet they still aren't marked verified correct. It's a bit frustrating because they say that you will hear an answer about 8 weeks after everything is marked verified correct. Hey flip456! Wanted to let you know that I spoke with an admissions rep at UIC today to check on my one unverified application item and she went through to check everything for me and now my application is (finally) under review! Hope things are under way for you too. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lib1845 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I figured I'd join in on this since all of my applications are complete (finally!) I'm applying to dual degree programs. Columbia (MSW/MPA): I got deferred early action from the MPA UNC (MSW/MPA) Boston University (MSW/MPH) UPenn (MSW/MPA): I have my interview in two weeks Ohio State (MSW/MPA) University of Georgia (MSW/MPH) University of South Carolina (MSW/MPA) Pretty diverse group of schools, but I only chose schools I would LOVE to go to. I'm a pretty average applicant but I'm hoping that I'll get accepted into at least one of my reach schools. Good luck to everyone!

RCtheSS Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hey, we applied to similar programs @lib1845! Cool to see another person in DC going for the public affairs-social work route. I focused in on joint MPP programs, except for Washington and Texas-Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opt4theBest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Has anyone heard back from Columbia? I know that they had a priority deadline. For those of you who applied during the priority deadline period, did you hear anything back from the School? Any update on your application status? Thank you!

I hope the review process is speedy for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kargigogo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I got accepted to Maryland yesterday. I'm super excited, because it's my first choice and I wasn't expecting to hear anything until March at the earliest so I was totally shocked to get the email. Hopefully the Shriver Peaceworker fellowship will happen so that this dream can become a reality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tudor3x8 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I finished applying mid to late December (last one 12/21) and just got a request to interview at Yeshiva! Any one else applying there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opt4theBest Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I am also thinking about applying for Yeshiva but the fact that their application deadline is not anywhere around the corner, I will wait until I hear back from the other 3 schools in NYC before I start my application with Yeshiva.

Opt4theBest Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 All, I have a question. Has anyone filled FAFSA? Is it too late if I file it at the end of February? I'm waiting for my spouse income and tax information (self employed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for my spouse income and tax information (self employed). I have filed mine out already. If you can, I would try to do it ASAP because you have better scholarship opportunities. You don't want to wait if you don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
