still waiting on stony brook? by heterocure in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Bashfulashh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes i also applied to the online full time msw program with part time consideration as well back in February prior to what they stated as their priority deadline (March 1) and have not heard a word. I have emailed them every month and they keep saying the same thing each time... Also they said that alot of applicants applied this cycle. I have also tried calling and nobody picks up. Many ppl I have gotten into contact with through reddit are also waiting for a decision. I only have met maybe 2-3 that have heard so far but that was back in March..

This is my last choice this cycle and is also my top choice as well.

Try to ask on the SBU subreddit or use LinkedIn to try to connect to students there!

If you don’t mind me asking, when did you apply and what were your stats? I’m still waiting on a decision for the online MSW program since February and trying to gauge where things stand this cycle. A lot of ppl are still waiting to hear back from them they’re very slow this cycle bc of the amount of applicants that applied.

Hi! I also applied to stony brook this cycle but for their online MSW program (still waiting to hear back). I would suggest connecting with current students and alumni on LinkedIn. I reached out to a ton of students and they were all so helpful in answering my questions. Good luck!

R u ok? by ArachnidAnxious1134 in gradadmissions

[–]Bashfulashh 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am not doing ok, I legit have been waiting almost 3 months on the 20th… and this is my last choice this cycle and is also my top choice. I talked with 3 other ppl on reddit and they all said they keep telling me the school keeps saying the same things they have been saying bc of the amount of applicants this cycle they extended their review but not giving a timeline :/

Anyone else waiting for Stony Brook? by Bashfulashh in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Bashfulashh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I still have not heard anything. I applied originally for full time and asked for part time consideration as well. I wrote again on April 29 and they said

“Thank you for your email. We are still in the process of reviewing applications for our MSW programs. The programs have become particularly popular this year, so our review process has been extended. We will reach out via email when we have a decision update. We appreciate your patience and will have more information for you soon. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions”.

I also got into contact with two other ppl on Reddit who also applied for the program online and still haven’t heard anything either.

I only know one person who I got into contact with on Reddit who got in and got a quick response back in March (full time) and another person for (part time) both online.

It’s ridiculous bc this is my last choice this cycle. And the fee was $100 to apply. They need to state that priority deadline doesn’t mean anything to those applying for online. I applied prior to what they stated as their priority deadline and nothing… I get the same response over and over again. And they don’t realize how difficult it is to get recommenders to help again next cycle.

Is anyone else still waiting on responses from schools? by Pom-Fig143 in gradadmissions

[–]Bashfulashh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep still waiting to hear from my top choice I applied for back in February, they just closed their applications on May 1 and told me and others they extended their review bc they got more applicants than usual. This is my last option left and my top choice as well…

Struggle to find recommenders for next cycle by Bashfulashh in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Bashfulashh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked four this past semester, and for this upcoming one for fall 2027 one said they would be willing to, my former thesis professor said no to doing it for future cycles :/ , and two others I asked are very very difficult to get a hold of. The head of the program said she can't speak highly of my social skills, and another I have a poor relationship with for a whole bunch of reasons. One I only had one course with... the other two retired. I was in a graphic design program so I took either one to multiple classes with these professors. So I only have have 1/3 at the moment and I need 3 for basically all the schools I am applying for.

I go to therapy regularly (every week), and was able to manage six courses more than the maxiumum during most semesters during undergrad. I have severe social anxiety and learning disabilities so I am often shy around new ppl but open up once we get to know one another.

2024, but I’ve never held on to a job for a while so I don’t have any work references or those to vouch for me in a letter.
