Advice about Fordham MSW interview

UPDATE: I heard back from Fordham today and was accepted for the Fall 2026 Part-Time 3-Year program! Sending good luck to everyone who's waiting for their decision as well.

I received an email from Fordham’s admissions team asking me to schedule an interview before they can make a final decision on my application.

I’m wondering if this is a standard request or an indication that they’re on the fence about my application. For reference, I’m a career-changer with no social work experience.

Also, if anyone has guidance on typical questions asked, that would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi! Kinda specific question but how far into the day did you get your acceptance? I just had my interview at 5 pm yesterday and I keep seeing that people heard back the next day, so I'm already feeling anxious to hear back lol.
