IT JUST CHANGED OH MY GOD

I mean it literally in the last 10 minutes changed and I know say "Decision made" but it doesn't say what the decision is!

[taahir91]

Think you click on decision letter nd it will tell you..worked for me

[Sketchitar]

It doesn't give me anything to click on. I go into applications (nothing)-->summary(nothing) and my profile doesn't have anything either. 

[taahir91]

Where it says decision made click on it or call lol

[Sketchitar]

No link so I'll call and see if they can give me the information over the phone. Sometimes I look at myself and wonder why someone would let me into an MSW program when I can barely operate as a human.

[Sketchitar]

This isn't an age of technology or anything, so the office has to manually enter the decisions. In 1-2 business days I should have it. I am so tired of waiting on this school.

[Sketchitar]

I'm officially in!

@cvsorange have you heard anything?

[cvsorange]

Not yet. I just checked my profile and it still says "under review". I emailed about a week ago and never heard back. 

[taahir91]

@Sketchitar congrats!

[Sketchitar]

@cvsorange Call into the offices, you might get a better answer that way. Or at least an answer.

Thank you taahir! Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get everything finalized. I did my intention to enroll thing yesterday and have the limited access things, but I can't figure out how to get the full access username so I can get my e-mail set up and all that. It also hasn't told me how to submit my final transcripts yet, so I'm going to have to e-mail my adviser and see what I'm meant to be doing.

[cvsorange]

My application just changed from "under review' to "complete" did that happen for anyone else? 

[taahir91]

@Sketchitar ask IT they should be able to walk you through everything on how to set up your masonlive account and get your username

[cvsorange]

My status changed today from "Complete" to "Out for Decision". I'm hoping to hear soon!

Well I finally got my acceptance, but since it came so late I'm not 100% sure if I'll have time to visit before I have to make a decision about accepting their offer or not, which is very concerning. So I am hoping someone who has visited/been to the department could give me some more insight into the program and campus environment. I've already emailed the advisor asking about getting in touch with current students, however, I'm trying to gather as much info as possible, so I figured I'd ask here too.  

Has anyone met any of the faculty or students? If so, what was your impression? 

This whole process has felt like the school is really disorganized, so any opinions you have of the department itself would be helpful as well. And, of course, any other insight would also be greatly appreciated!

In the state of VA , GMU is very popular, proximity is close to D.C., ton's of activities to get involved in, very city like, however Fairfax county and the surrounding cities do have it's suburban qualities. The northern va area is very populated; people are friendly and diverse.

I know the admission office did tell me they were having IT issues with their system which explained the delayed responses.

As far as the program itself, all MSW program's have  the same criteria and guidlines to follow and abide to. Ranking according to USA News, is about in the middle of the pack, like 70?..however the program is fairly new , might of started in 04'  compared to other institution's that have had a MSW since the early 60's  70's and flourished since.

I have a friend in the program, he said the professor's really work with you. Hopefully, that helps

I got in and it took ages to get my acceptance! I enrolled but I'm probably going to switch to part time. I registered for three classes and am dying to get acclimated do to school again (BA 2008). Any tips? Hope everyone got an acceptance. Congrats to those who know already.

[taahir91]

Anyone going to orientation??

[mimithebellydancer]

updates anyone on the program?

[eduvall]

Would anyone be willing to give insight into the program? I recently got accepted and for the life of me I can't decide where to go. Any likes/dislikes?
