Good luck with admissions everyone!

 

I didn't see anyone post about Humboldt State University. Does anyone know if their MSW program is as reputable as the other california state schools mentioned in this thread?

@rmeza Congratulations on your acceptance to CSUDH!  Do you mind sharing your stats (GPA/ Major)?  Which concentration have you decided on? Are you going full-time or part-time?  

Please keep us updated on other acceptances. Good luck to you in the future.

Hey guys, I've applied to CSUN, CSULB, CSULA and USC. My GPA is not the greatest, being a BIO Major in my early years really screwed me over. 

Major: Liberal Studies

Minor: Biology

GPA: 2.8

Letters of Rec: 4, from advisors, supervisors of a civil rights organization I worked for and my superiors from a medical office I work at now.

I'm a really strong writer so hopefully my personal statement redeems me in some ways. Plus I made the deans list my final year of my undergrad. Hopefully the admissions committee sees all of this before making a decision. I'm nervous but honestly I'm taking it in stride and everything happens for a reason I guess. Good luck to everyone!

Hi Everyone--applied to CSUN for 3 of their 4 cohorts.  Applied last year, but didn't make it.  Only applied to one school because location/distance is an issue for me. The app deadline was 1-10, I think.  I turned walked my app in on the 6th.  It's no longer first-come first-serve basis, and all info can now be uploaded online.  I walked mine in because being a prior applicant, I was allowed to use my letters of rec from the previous app year.  

Stats:  

BA in Human Development/ECD concentration

4.0 gpa in final 60

3.8 cumulative

Some volunteer experience in a hospice care fac

30 + years work experience as a Large Family D/C provider

Career changer with 5 grown children, 3 grandchildren

fluent in Spanish

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!  I'll post my progress here in hopes that It'll benefit someone!

Hi everyone.

I applied to CSU San Marcos January 3rd (Closing was January 6th)

BA in Social Work

I have a 3.5 Cumulative GPA

Major GPA 3.70

I got a letter of recommendation from: a professor who taught some of the Social Work Classes I took, a Special Education Teacher I worked for for 6 months and a Case Manager I worked with at my internship for my senior year.

Because of my Major I've had volunteer work every year that I was in school.

I've volunteered at an Elementary school, Boys and Girls Club, an Elementary school in their Special Education Classroom (I was also a Yard Duty there), and at a Homeless Shelter/Transitional Program for at-risk youth.

Since graduating I've worked with Adults with developmental disabilities, as a Special Education Aide in a K-3 Mod-Severe classroom, an On call Residential Counselor for youth coming out of Juvenile Hall/in Foster Care and can't find placements, and now I currently work full time as a Residential Assistant for a 30 Day rehab/detox for adults struggling with drug addiction/alcohol addiction.

I got my BSW at Humboldt State and have many friends who are getting their MSW there or have already gotten it there. What kind of questions do you have?

I'm fairly certain most csu's ask for official transcripts. I applied to CSUSM and they required it.
