I chose Columbia for two reasons: 1) They offered me much more in scholarship money. As an advanced standing student, USC only offered me a max of $9,000. They didn't have anything else I could apply for through the school. Their office explicitly stated that there was no way to get more than $9k in scholarship (through the school) as an advanced standing student. 2) Columbia would always respond to my questions in a timely and professional manner. Working with the USC admissions office was a bit of a run-around game.

That is odd...well, congratulations! hopefully they offer you some good money.

I would stay far, FAR away from this school. Their admissions office is incredibly disorganized, rude, and inconsiderate. They are next to impossible to get in contact with, be it via email or via telephone. If their admissions office is any indicator of their social work program, then it is definitely NOT a good investment. I've been working with this school during the application process for months now and absolutely nothing has changed with them. This is just my opinion which is only based on my personal experiences.

I am! But I may try to transfer over to the in person program if they let me and if I am accepted.

Has anyone heard back from the U of Michigan? I submitted my application materials on March 1st and was told I would receive information about a Wolverine account once their office processes my application but I still haven't received anything about it. Should I be worried? How long does it take for them to review applications?

Does anyone know how large the class sizes are at Columbia?
