AutumnSweater Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Hi there!! Im waiting for decisions for fall 2017 for SJSU. anyone else here in the same situation?? cheers, autumn
GreenEyedTrombonist Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 Not in the same situation, but I'm finishing up my MA at SJSU right now.
AutumnSweater Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 Congratulations!!! do you mind sharing when they contacted you when you got accepted?
GreenEyedTrombonist Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 I turned in my MA application to the anthro department pretty close to the final deadline, but I was given notice of acceptance within a week. I know others who received acceptance within a day or two, but all of us actually did our undergrad with the department so they knew our work ethic and previous academic history (I did take a 3 year break between undergrad and grad though). The social work side might be completely different since it's a different department. When was/is the application due date?
AutumnSweater Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! how lucky you didn't have to endlessly wait for a decision! I also did my undergrad studies there. Deadline was February 1st. And supposedly the department would start making decisions the second week of February. When I check online, my sjsu states that my app has been referred to graduate department.
GreenEyedTrombonist Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 So it sounds like you might be hearing pretty soon!
AutumnSweater Posted February 13, 2017 Author Posted February 13, 2017 I hope so, I need an answer. Good or bad (I wish it'd be good!) but this waiting is killing me because I cannot make any plans. looks like there's no one else here applying to SJSU... I wonder if there's another forum out there with more people commenting...
Namaste Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Hi AutumnSweater! I am also awaiting a response from the program! Have you received any updates?
AutumnSweater Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Hi Namaste! No news yet. I think they will start to communicate their decisions this week.
SmileyPita Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Hello Autum!!! Same here :S waiting and waiting for the decision.... i read you studied there, i think you have very good chances to get accepted!!!! i send you the best vibes, did you apply to any other school?
AutumnSweater Posted March 4, 2017 Author Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Hello SmileyPita!! yes, I did my BA in psychology there. Where did you study? i haven't applied for any other school. That was a mistake of mine, because I was overconfident. i don't know the rate of admissions but I read some threads from previous years and said something like 500 applied for 100 vacancies at campus and 50 online. Now, this is a pretty scary number, but I cross my fingers. itsnice to hear from you!! Edited March 4, 2017 by AutumnSweater Mispelling
AutumnSweater Posted March 7, 2017 Author Posted March 7, 2017 I'm still waiting and was wondering if any of you have any news yet...
SmileyPita Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Hahaha we are all the same, in fact I'm from Mexico I studied here. So... Waiting Also the bad thing is that they let know everyone at the same time if rejected or accepted. Lets keep being positive!!!

I think they have rolling acceptance, that means they have a short list and depending who accepts to get into the program and who doesnt, they call the next on the list. I was reading a thread of 2014 and they keep calling until mid April. That means one more month. Agreed, let's keep being positive
AutumnSweater Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 hi Namaste and SmileyPita, This waiting is really nerve racking. I'm wondering if they release decisions to those who weren't admitted or we have to figure it out by ourselves if no one contacted us for admission. this is something that worries me, as I've read in this forum some people were still waiting for a decision on May and no one communicated they were not admitted. I mean, until when it is safe to wait with hope?
SmileyPita Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Autumn and namaste hello!!! Another week.... the good thing i think is that people report here if accepted or not. So, i think they havent communicate yet what they decided. I cant take it anymore. have a grreat weekened!!
meltoid Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks for starting this thread! I'm in agony waiting too! I applied right on the deadline. I applied for the in-person part-time program. How about you all? I also applied to CSU Monterey Bay and UC Berkeley. Berkeley gave a specific date... Tomorrow 3/15. And like you said, Autumn Summer, not being able to plan is hard. I really wanna know all of them already!!!! Good luck to all of us!

And like you said, Autumn Summer, not being able to plan is hard. I really wanna know all of them already!!!! Good luck to all of us! Hello Meltoid and all!! I applied mid January for the online part time program. I only applied to SJSU because it was just the right fit, since I'm not able to move to other cities and the other choices available for me were private institutions that cost more than double than SJSU. I'm crossing fingers and waiting for the best but at this point I'm also thinking on a plan B. I'm glad Berkeley gave you a date. That's today!! Please let us know how they went It makes a lot of sense and I think other universities should also give a due date for decision making. i think the fact that San Jose has rolling admissions make things a little more complicated. Autumn
Namaste Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Hi all! I just applied to SJSU and still waiting it out. Good luck Meltoid I hope you hear good news from Berkeley. This waiting game is sure indeed stressful! meltoid 1
TBMSW2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Hey all! I am still waiting for SJSU as well! I finally caved in and made an account for this. Does anyone know when the Decision to commit is for SJSU? It seems like they take a rather long time to let folks know. Anyone else apply to Portland State? I was accepted into the University of Washington, rejected from Berkeley, and waiting on these last two. Good luck everyone!
AutumnSweater Posted March 20, 2017 Author Posted March 20, 2017 Hello TBMSW2017, welcome to this thread! And congratulations on your admission to U. Of Washington. I'm still waiting as well. I've read on a thread from 2016 that people were still waiting for decisions on May of that year. Since SJSU have Rolling acceptance, we can hear from them anytime from now until June.
TBMSW2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 @AutumnSweater wow such a long time! Im going to call every so often. I am more than sure they are aware that applicants are applying to other schools with more fixed deadlines so there has to be a way around this extended decision time frame.

Yes, it's almost ridiculous. Almost all other cal state universities had already communicated their decisions. Not knowing just makes me unable to plan anything at this point. You said you're going to call them on the phone? If yes, please let us know what they say Edited March 22, 2017 by AutumnSweater
AutumnSweater Posted March 27, 2017 Author Posted March 27, 2017 Hello everyone! Any news from SJSU? bumping up the thread!
