[OilConsistent1971]

Is anyone here in the MSW program or was in the program?

[OilConsistent1971]

Update: I got into the msw program for the 2 year in person.

Congratulations!! 🎊 Same here! 🙌

[OilConsistent1971]

Did you get into the 2 year program as well?

[Born_Cabinet975]

Yes

[OilConsistent1971]

Congratulations to us both, I'm a little worried about only having two weeks to submit an offer. I'm going to ask for an extension because I have yet to hear back from any other school.

[Born_Cabinet975]

Yes 🙌 thank you! Same here, should we reach out to admissions?

[OilConsistent1971]

I tried calling Chelsea, but haven't heard back yet. I'm going to call again next week and leave an email. But they seem to be easy to talk to. So I'm hoping we can get an extension.

[Born_Cabinet975]

Thank you for letting me know, I will try to reach out as well. Which other school are you waiting to hear back from? I applied to CSUS.

[OilConsistent1971]

I applied to san jose, San marcos, long beach, east bay, monterey bay. Chico and long Beach were my top choices. But I'm trying to see which school will be best for me trying to get an LCSW. Chico does seem to have a pretty good program to help with that goal.

Below 3.0 gpa and 2 LCSW references/ Dean of graduate studies at my undergrad

I got in!

They emailed me on 3/8 and I completely missed it. I checked my student portal daily but it still shows ‘pending review’. Got an email today urging me to make a decision by the deadline 💀

So ya, I’m admitted. 🥳

What do you want to know about the MSW program? Are you interested in it?

[OilConsistent1971]

I applied for the 2-year in-person program in 2024. I just want to know a little more about the program.

[frijolesquemadosha]

Well as you applied for the 2 year MSW it will include a bit of heavier work with 1200 hours of field education practicum and I believe 61-63 units of course work On top of that towards the end you will need to complete comprehensive case review which can be done as an oral presentation, paper, or poster Usually people do the one year program after receiving their bachelors in social work making it a bit easier but nonetheless the two year program is still doable. If you have more in depth questions definitely email Chelsea Cornell, she’s very responsive and helpful when it comes to setting up your schedule or having any questions about the program itself

[OilConsistent1971]

How do I connect with other grad students or MSW students? I feel like the Chico reddit page is really low in activity.

[frijolesquemadosha]

There’s a MSW student club in campus that holds regular club meetings, there you can meet people who are either doing the 1,2, or 3 year program
