flatterfeet Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hi everyone! How many of you applied to UNC's MSW program? I just sent in my application for Advanced Standing. NOW WE WAIT! Jessamine G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessamine G Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I've applied to the 2-year program (Well, actually the dual program with Divinity). I just got accepted to Duke today, and I'm wondering if I'll hear from UNC by this time in January? flatterfeet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedacruz Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I applied as well. I'm still waiting to hear back. flatterfeet and Jessamine G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackToSchool17 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Has anyone gotten a decision yet? It sounds like the decisions are done on a rolling basis, or have you all heard otherwise? I didn't apply til close to the January deadline, so I am afraid I might be one of the last to hear, ugh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackToSchool17 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Also, how many of you also asked to be considered for the 3-year program if you didn't get into the 2-year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackToSchool17 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Wow! That's fantastic! Do you mind me asking when you applied? Are you going to attend, or are you waiting for other schools, too? Again, CONGRATS!!! Also, did you receive an email, or did it show up in your portal, or did they call you? I've heard that sometimes they call. Edited February 7, 2018 by BackToSchool17 added question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still waiting to hear back from 4 other schools and my decision will depend a lot on financial aid so I wont know where I am attending for a little while.

When I emailed about a month ago, I was told advanced standing applicants got priority since their program starts in May. Here’s hoping that more 2-year decisions start rolling out soon!

I applied in mid December and haven’t heard, but I feel like I’ve read about people having a much faster turnaround time, so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncmsw2019 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hey y'all! I'm a full time first-year UNC MSW student who was in your shoes this time last year anxiously awaiting admissions! I've been in the area for about a decade (went to undergrad at UNC too) so let me know if you have questions about the area, the program, classes, etc while you're waiting. Wishing you all the best during this stressful time! BackToSchool17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackToSchool17 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Would love to know when you heard last year? Also, I am what schools would consider a “non-traditional” student, since I am much older....this will be a second career for me, if I am fortunate enough to be accepted. I was wondering how many “older” students are in the cohort, and how well does the class blend among different age groups? I am hoping to be in a school where people all blend and bond together despite age differences. Thanks! grad1514 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping to be in a school where people all blend and bond together despite age differences. Thanks! Hey @BackToSchool17! So last year a handful of folks were notified in late Jan/early Feb, but I'd say most people heard in late February through the first 2-3 weeks of March. In terms of cohort age, I'd say the full time 2 year program skews to the younger side, with a number of folks straight out of undergrad or in their mid twenties, and a smaller group of folks in their 30s/40s. Maybe they said the average age of our cohort was 27 or 28? I can't quite remember. I imagine this varies from year to year, but that's how it has looked in general. From what I can tell, there's a wider range of ages in the 3 year part time/distance Ed program, which makes sense because it's usually the preferred/necessary option for people who are already out in the working world, have families, etc. I've seen folks generally bonding regardless of age differences, and there are some great faculty to connect with as well! I think the cohort cohesion piece really comes down to whether or not folks can respect and value that, regardless of age, everyone is coming in with varying levels of experience (in social work, non-social work experience, the world, etc) and that we all have things to learn from each other.

flatterfeet Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 So, I emailed the admissions coordinator and he said that those who have applied for advanced standing should find out this week or next!

BackToSchool17 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) I wonder if those of us applying to the 2-year program might start hearing soon....this is sort of the end of February, right? ?
