I got into NYU today! Only given 4 weeks to commit so looks like I'm going to have to take a quick trip to NYC here soon!

Anyone applied to UCBerkeley? I can't find the date in which they will notify the admissions...

 Hi there, I’m happy to found your post. From my understanding if you applied to the MSW title IV-E then you can be finding out as early as this week if you applied to another concentration I could not help you. 

 

 Best of luck to you I see that you applied to the MSW program, I hope we both get in! What concentration did you apply for? 

[abswk]

Columbia Advanced Standing MSW early decision applicant! Can't take the suspense much longer!! Good luck to you all!

I really hate the waiting game lol! I'm waiting on UCLA, last year there was a big group of applicants on here and this year I've found like 2 others total, so no one to get any insight from on if anyone is hearing back yet or anything. I'm hopeful but good lord I'm struggling to think of much else these days.

It says we won’t hear back until March

 Hi, I just wanted to share that from my understanding if you applied for the MSW title lV–E program you could be finding out as early as this week. 

 

Last year they completed interviews on March 1 and admissions emails went out March 15 for this specific concentration. That being said this year final interviews were on February 1 so I’m hoping to find out by February 15.

I can totally relate, I found this forum when I was applying for the 2018 Fall, but I can see the 2017 Fall had so much more involvement and participation.

I applied to the family and children concentration (not the title IV-E because I do not qualify as an international student). 

It's good news that we will hear back soon:) ! I have also applied in the UK to a few ones and they want to know if I will accept their offer as soon as possible... that's why I am a bit struggling:(

Anybody here apply to University of Washington's MSW Extended program? The wait on decision is killing me. Even if I don't get in I just want to know :/

Just came across this and yes me too! I’m extremely anxious and nervous. I applied January 15th so I doubt I’ll hear anytime soon.

Has anyone received letters from any CA schools yet? I saw some people who have gotten their acceptance letter from CSULB already. The wait is seriously so agonizing!

Hi! I reviewed acceptance to CSULB in early January. I am still waiting on CSULA and CSUN.

Hello did you get to interview at CSULB before being notified of admissions, or did they offer you admission without an interview? 

[Elliemsw]

I applied pretty close to the January deadline and just received an email stating my application has been received by the School of Social Work for CSULB.

Hey! Thank you so much!!! I will most likely not be accepting. /: I applied 1/12 and I received an email regarding my status. But I am also an advanced standing student if that makes a difference? 

 

You should be hearing back soon! Is it your first choice?!

Hi! There was no interview process (for me at least) at CSULB.

[BackNSchool83]

@TheAnxiousGuy Hey what's up man, I'm anxious as well lol. I applied to CSUF, CSULB, and UCLA. So far I've heard back from LB. I made a facebook group called UC and CSU MSW applicant resource and support group where others waiting on the California schools are chatting, small group, more are welcome! Not sure when CSUF will start to send out notifications but I'm expecting them later on like around mid March ish. Let us know if you hear anything sooner!

Hi, I am struggling deciding which school I should accept.

I got admission from Uof Michigan and U Penn, and Upenn gave me more scholarship than UMichigan. I am planning to study macro social work.

If this was your case, which school would you guys prefer?
