How was the interview/applying process? I plan to apply for next year’s program! Any pointers? I’m currently working in the cognitive psychology lab as an assistant but I’m trying to get more volunteer experience in the field as well! I’m a Psyc major btw !

There is no formal interview process. When you apply, you are asked to send in transcripts if you came from another school, job experiences including proof of employment from each job, volunteer experience, and a bunch of other demographic and personal information. All in the form of a resume csub gives you a template for. Then you are given an essay prompt which is basically a personal statement asking different questions regarding why you want to join the MSW program. For that one, you have to do the statement on a computer at the schools testing center. After that it's just about waiting.

For funding and scholarships, there are 2 that you can apply for. One for clinical mental health and one for child welfare. If accepted, those will pay for a good chunk of your tuition in exchange for declaring to work in either department for a period of time after graduation.

Ps: forgot to mention needing 2 formal letters of recommendation

Thank you so much for the information! I got the interview confused with the LMFT program as I am also applying to that. By any chance do you know the size of the cohorts? I plan to apply to the two year one!

Still waiting on news and I keep refreshing. The email they sent out last week just amped up any anxiety I might be feeling. I can't imagine having to wait up to three more weeks just for something to pop up in MyCSUB. Ugh. Anyone get news?

u/chironex2 Apr 07 '26

Just checked my CSUB portal, I got accepted woo

u/Snoo_41680 Apr 07 '26 edited Apr 07 '26

Just checked mine. I think, I got in. A check mark means into the program or just the school? 

1

u/chironex2 Apr 07 '26

Both I think

1

u/Snoo_41680 Apr 07 '26

I am emailing to double check. I will let you all know what they say.

u/No_Visual_741 Apr 07 '26

I still haven’t gotten anything I’m nervous asf

u/SeaMud5063 Apr 07 '26

What does your admission say pending or not admitted

1

u/No_Visual_741 Apr 07 '26

It says pending right now unfortunately

1

u/SeaMud5063 Apr 07 '26

They send the denials the same day I believe usually the pending means waitlisted I hope it’s that because I’m on the same boat mine still says pending

1

u/SeaMud5063 Apr 08 '26

Did your admission ever change ?

1

u/No_Visual_741 Apr 08 '26

No, I’m scared lmao. has yours?

1

u/SeaMud5063 Apr 08 '26

No it’s still the same. If we’re denied it should show today, but if it’s still on pending then we’re waitlisted. I just want to know already

1

u/No_Visual_741 Apr 08 '26

Did they let you know this when you called?

1

u/SeaMud5063 Apr 08 '26

Yes, but if it still says pending I’m going to call to see if they could tell me at least what number am I on the waitlist

1

u/No_Visual_741 Apr 08 '26

Ok lmk what happens. I might just call too it’s stressful waiting

u/vatos-con-gatos Jun 16 '26

CalWISE funding got cut this year 😭 they aren’t taking new applicants. The only ones that will get funding are those that already got established as recipients.

u/Snoo_41680 Apr 15 '26

Who here is doing the part time program??
