morningjunky Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Received an email from Columbia earlier today regarding financial aid, but also pointed out when admissions decisions will be released for Fall 2016: The Office of Admissions expects to release Fall 2016 admissions decisions in mid-to late-February. In order to be considered for financial aid from the School, admitted students must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). We recommend that you submit the FAFSA prior to receiving your decision letter so that, if you are admitted, your financial aid award letter can be promptly processed and sent to you. So just a few more weeks! Edited February 9, 2016 by morningjunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opt4theBest Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, I received the same. I would aim for Feb 15 or 16 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soft_skeleton Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi everyone! I just called the admissions office and was told that acceptances will be sent out next week. It's a bit annoying because I submitted my applications to both Columbia and University of Chicago by the 12/1 priority deadline and heard back from UChicago in mid-January. I have to respond to UChicago's offer by 3/4, and I'd like at least SOME time to consider my options (especially financially!) if I do get in to Columbia...but hopefully we'll all know by the end of next week!

Congrats on being accepted to UChicago! That's awesome. By the way, when Columbia mentioned to you on the phone that the decisions will go out next week, did they say that this is specifically for those applications submitted during the priority deadline or this applies to everyone submitted their applications within Jan 4th deadline? Also soft_skeleton I think (if you have not done so) you should ask UChicago to kindly extend the deadline for you to say 'yes' to them CrimsonEyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KmmAlaska Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Hello, I applied to the Advanced Standing MSSW for this fall.  I applied by the 12/1 deadline as well but haven't received a decision yet, it's helpful to hear from others who are in the same spot.  I am also curious as to what financial aid options students are receiving if/when they are accepted, as the cost is a concern of mine,especially since I would have to relocated from Alaska. Take care!

jillchristine Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 On February 4, 2016 at 9:39 PM, Opt4theBest said: Â Sorry, it's taken me a while to respond! They send out waves of acceptances (what AMcCoy is saying) so hopefully the first was Feb 15th, and then the next week and so on. From what I understand they start from the pool of those that applied during the normal application period and then they move on to later apps (extended deadline), but I'm not positive about that! Good luck!! AMcCoy and Opt4theBest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeangie Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi! Sorry about the late update. I received an email about updated app status, and I was able to check my decision status in the portal. And yes, I am an intl student. I expect to have no financial aid/grant from columbia..
