ohoh207 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I am also accepted to USC! However, I am pretty concerned about their high tuition. I only applied for USC for this year! If I am not going to USC, I will have to apply for CSU and UCLA next year. How are you guys preparing for USC tuition? Edited March 10, 2016 by ohoh207
MSWinmyfuture Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 CHECK YOUR EMAILS. I got my official acceptance ? aramirez 1
MrsKozee Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I got my acceptance as well!! It's a wonderful feeling!! I will be attending my beautiful UCLA!! I was fortunate to get an amazing scholarship; but I would have chosen UCLA regardless.... Jessa 1
Msw_22 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Did you guys get a scholarship email? theyre offering me 30,000 for both years but ucla is still cheaper than that sooooo
MrsKozee Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Yes, they offered me $40k.... Not as awesome as UCLA's scholarship offer, not even close!! I loved UCLA while I was there for undergrad, I'm in love with the program, I'm I love with UCLA !! Double Bruin for life!!
MSWinmyfuture Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I haven't gotten any scholarship information, but they're giving me 2 weeks to submit my intent to enroll. I'll make a decision based on that I suppose.

TherapistyChristy Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I got accepted to USC last week... But I am sticking with ASU because USC told me I have to pay my $280 reserve fee before I find out about my scholarship application result.
aramirez Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 What have people been getting on scholarships for USC's MSW programs? I got offered $20,000 (for both years) from USC and from NYU I received $15,000 (per year). I am still debating which one to attend this Fall.

I only applied to USC and the tuition cost is finally slapping me in the face, which is affecting my decision to accept the offer. Wondering if anyone has heard from other scholarship opportunities and how much they received? I just want to know if it has ever been that an individual got most of their tuition covered by scholarships and grants alone... Also, has anyone attempted to ask for more money?

BackNSchool83 Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 I just finished my AA in psychology, am also a drug and alcohol counseling student, and finished after maintaining a 4.0 at my CC with full IGETC. I'm an older student, 33, back in school pursuing a new future. I am going to UC Irvine and just transfered. I know I have to prove myself here, but I understand I should apply for grad school in about a year, so I want to get this thought through early, to be prepared ahead of time. I'm currently very interested in USC's MSW program, especially if I could do it at the Irvine campus. What does USC really require for a competitive candidate ? What advice do you guys have ? Thank you !!!

Thank you !!! For me...I am an older student as well...AA in general studies, BA in psychology...my early years of school were NOT good at all, but I pulled it together in the later years. I have seen some of the experience some people have in here and honestly, I could not compete, but I would say get some experience, keep your grades up and you should be fine for their program. Also, as an older student you likely have more life experience. I definitely called upon that when it came time to write my statement of purpose as I don't have any direct social work experience. I definitely had to research the values and I realized a lot of that could apply to life in general so I just went with it and it worked out for me.

After I applied I started getting second thoughts because of the cost, but then when it came time to apply for scholarships I applied for everything! I got $50k scholarship which definitely helps plus I have money coming from my gi bill so I am practically going for free. Obviously I couldn't say no to USC after that. I almost didn't apply for any of the scholarships because it was a bit overwhelming for me, but I am so happy that I did because it paid off
