12sliders Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Hi all, I am about to finish up my personal statement and apply to Hunter College for their MSW program. Has anyone else applied there? Have you heard a decision yet? Good luck to all who apply!

MSW2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 My app was completed 1/25. I am also very curious as to when we will hear back. Most other NYC schools have begun to send out responses, and are requesting a down payment 4 weeks from the day of acceptance. Feel like I will need to save a seat somewhere before hearing back from Hunter.
lovetodogood Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I heard that people start hearing back mid feb but you have to have an interview and then may not hear back for another month!
MSW2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 My online profile changed to "pending interview." Anyone else see this change? No emails or updates from the school as of yet... MSWnyc94 1
lovetodogood Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Anyone else hear about an interview yet?? Anxious to hear from Hunter because I heard back from other schools a while ago!
Racket Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Did you guys have issues uploading your transcripts? It says they are uploaded, but then when I look at my application after submitting it, it says they are not received. I emailed them, but haven't heard back yet. I got it all in by the 5th, but now I'm not sure if it all went through.
Empress Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Finished up my application on Saturday. Hoping to hear back soon, good luck to all!

taracot Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I applied last month. It seems like in past years we won't hear about group interviews until March or April.
dibenedetto101 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 I was wondering if anyone knew anything about graduate assistantships. Are we able to find and apply to them before we are accepted?
lovetodogood Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 ugh any updates on acceptances/interviews!?

I think I will have to ask Fordham for an extension on the decision deadline so I can wait to see if Hunter wants me to interview. I just wanna know!! Edited February 23, 2017 by Racket
styx Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 hey guys! so just for a general timeline - my application was officially completed and submitted on January 9th. They reached out to me via e-mail for an interview on January 27th - I registered for January 31st. Interview was fairly simple. there was 1 hypothetical question about what you would do in this situation - no right or wrong answer, just use your best judgement. you will have to give a writing sample at the end of the interview (for whatever reason, i'm not sure). common questions were also about why your specific concentration (clinical, community organization, etc.) and background information. I received my acceptance on February 7th. So all in all, from submission to acceptance, it took about 4 weeks. i'm stuck between columbia versus silberman but i'm probably going to silberman because it's cheaper tuition lol.
MSWnyc94 Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Did anybody that apply for the two year program receive an interview invitation yet? I'm going crazy waiting

If you can see the docs on your end, you should be fine. Today my application finally showed up as complete so you may want to check again. Good luck!
