@MrsKozee I got the same emails too! However, I applied after the december deadline. I got super excited as well and decided to call and check the status of my application. The super sweet lady let me know that they can't even review my application until the March deadline, given they have to look through priority first. 

 

That said, I think the scholarship information was generic to all applicants 

[MrsKozee]

@MSWinmyfuture, thanks for replying!! Yay!!! Well then.... That just means that we need to rock the hell out of those scholarship apps too!!!

[MrsKozee]

Well then..... I applied early Deember and since my community college transcripts didn't show up until a week ago, I will now be waiting until the March deadline to get a decision.... I am so bummed and tired..... ? 

[Jessa]

Congrats to everyone who got in! I've been so busy these last few weeks, but I just wanted to share that I got my acceptance as well!!! Hopefully I will see some of you there.

[MrsKozee]

I think in the documents it says that we will not be getting paper acceptances everything is going to be online.

Hi Everyone, I applied to USC's MSW/PhD program and was just invited as a finalist to visit the school. I am so excited about it, but I was wondering if you guys knew of any forums on housing, and USC financial packages? Thanks for your help. Maybe we'll be schoolmates this fall!

Thank You!! I applied Dec. 7. About 20 of my friends heard back before me. I was freaking out but honestly I am positive you will be hearing back soon even tomorrow! Good Luck, I also saw you got into UCLA CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im still waiting to hear back from UCLA. I got accepted to Columbia also and now do not know what to do. 

 

[MSWinmyfuture]

congrats @van2312 !! How long ago did you receive the email that your app is complete & that it'll take 2-4 months?

 

As for me, they BARELY fixed my transcript issue on Monday, claiming it was a technical glitch on their end (the whole process ended up taking around 3-4 weeks). I got the email that my app was complete on Tuesday. Judging from last year's thread, it should take about 4 - 6 days after receiving that email to get a decision. I'm just hoping it's the same this year. The anticipation is killing me!!

Same thing happened to me @MSWinmyfuture, I have called several times and they say that I will be waiting until the March deadline to have my application reviewed.... My transcripts surfaced  Jan 28th even though they all ready had them before then. I asked to speak to a supervisor since it's not fair, but they said March...

Hey MrsKozee I summbited my application on Dec. 7 and received my conformation on  1/19/16. I heard back on 2/25/16. Check your spam/junk/clutter mail as for mine was in my clutter mail and did not notice. The time you hear back can vary, but I am sure you'll hear back really soon :). 

[van2312]

Has anyone asked for an extension for their deposit? 

[SWstudent]

Hi @van2312, I did initially because I am awaiting decision from their joint program. I've just requested another extension because I am a finalist for their PhD of social work, but their visit dates aren't until the end of March. It should be fine. I think the contact person's name is Stacy. 

[aramirez]

I submitted my MSW application for USC yesterday March 2. Does anyone know when March 2nd applicants find out?

[MSWinmyfuture]

I called a few days ago. They told me we should hear back no later than the end of April 

[Jessa]

If anyone applied for any scholarships, start keeping an eye out on your email! I got the most amazing news today. I wasn't expecting to hear back this soon

[Msw_22]

has anyone heard any news from usc????

still haven't heard anything=/

[SWstudent]

@msw_22 I would reach out to their offices if you haven't heard yet. I know a lot of what happens is they continue to make decisions as some people decline the offer, etc.

I haven't heard back yet either. I've spoken to them a few times and they told me we should hear by end of April, but it also depends on when you applied.
