wildflower17 Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 I was notified by email around noon Fri to check the admissions portal. I was not accepted into the Advanced Standing MSW Program. I am so sad. UNC is my dream school. I am going to call to see how my application could have been improved. But, I do have my acceptance from ECU. Good luck everyone!

uncapplicant2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Has anyone applying to the two year program heard anything? Edited February 28, 2017 by uncapplicant2017
moonpine Posted February 28, 2017 Author Posted February 28, 2017 No not yet!! It seemed like we were suppose to hear by the end of this month but that's today so...
Hummingbird7 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Heard back this morning and am so excited to announce that I got into the 2 year full-time MSW program! Hopefully everyone will hear back soon but this thread was so helpful for me so I thought I'd let y'all know. I really appreciate how UNC takes all the parts of the application when making their decision. I definitely had weaker quantitative scores and overall GPA but thankfully they did not hold that against me and focused on my experience and success in other areas. Good luck to everyone and let me know if you have any questions. Alina38 and uncapplicant2017 2

Kim_MSW Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Hey guys! I'd really lost hope once February ended, but I got an email to check my portal around 11 am today and was accepted to the 2-year program! Anyone still waiting, absolutely don't give up yet!! It seems like they're still sending out a lot of acceptances through early March. This thread has been so incredibly comforting and helpful to me, and I can't wait to meet a lot of you next year! uncapplicant2017 1
moonpine Posted March 3, 2017 Author Posted March 3, 2017 Have most people found out now, or are most still waiting to hear? It's odd the way they seem to send out decisions piecemeal when it's not rolling decision/in order by application date. I really want to know if I'm moving in a few short months. Alina38 1

nondogoctet Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Whoa! I'm surprised people have started hearing back. I haven't heard a thing from UNC in a couple of months.
Alina38 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I just found out this morning that I got into the 2-year program!! I am so happy y'all. I applied on 12/13, the early action deadline. Heard back this morning via an email to check the portal. My biggest weakness was definitely my quantitative GRE score, but everything else was pretty good Feel free to ask any questions.
moonpine Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Congrats @Alina38!!! So exciting. Do you mind sharing your stats/areas of study interest? Edited March 8, 2017 by moonpine Alina38 1

Stats: GPA 3.96/4, Q153, V165, and AW5.5. I'm interested in play therapy, trauma focused systems, home visiting, and integrated health care. My letter said that the scholarship application is going live at the end of the week, so I'm not sure if that means everyone will hear back by Friday? I sure hope so.

Will you let us know when you receive the scholarship link? I was admitted into the 2 year and wait listed for the advanced standing and still haven't recieved the scholarship application. Thanks!

The application deadline is Friday, March 31, 2017. Award notifications will be communicated with all admitted students by April 11th"
