  1. Hi everyone -- for those of you attending NYU, has anyone heard anything regarding field placement? Just wondering because I have not heard anything as of yet... Thank you!
  2. Zee21 -- thank you SO MUCH for this clear and thoughtful post! It really helps to know so many specifics about the program. There are definitely a lot of things that you brought up that I wasn't even aware of! Thanks again!!!
  3. I am still waiting to hear back from Fordham -- my application was complete 12/19 and my letters of recommendation were complete 1/28.
  4. I definitely believe that Hunter is an awesome program -- I know many graduates that are very happy with the education they received. I guess my concern is more due to the possibility of leaving the country; I know NYU is more recognized globally. Also, to those who attended Hunter -- how did you feel about your placements? Did you feel supported and do you feel that they were high-quality? Thank you!
  5. Hey everyone, I originally posted this over on the SW boards, but I thought I might bet some good input over here as well! I have been accepted to my top two programs: NYU and Hunter. I am having a really difficult time deciding on which to attend. Without using cost as a total determining factor, what are people's thoughts on the schools and the programs? I am a NY native, but my husband is Canadian, and I am not sure where we are going to settle down, so I am having concerns on choosing Hunter. However, I am also unsure about attending a rather non-diverse school as many have told me NYU is. I'm not sure my exact path as of yet, but right now I am leaning more towards clinical than a community/social justice type program... but then again, until I actually gain experience in a placement, who knows?! Are there any current students who can comment on their programs? Anyone who made a similar decision lately? Thanks so much for all of your help This is such a tough decision and I need all the advice I can get!
  6. No, that was super helpful -- thank you! I guess my problem is that I have lots of contacts who have gone to Hunter, and none that have gone to NYU, so I am missing that perspective... but maybe that is telling in and of itself!
  7. HI Rebekah, Thanks for your input! I may have been unclear in my original post, but I was trying to say that I'm not really certain which aspect of social work I am leaning towards. I currently work at a middle school, so school social work is something I am interested in, but I'm afraid that may be because it's my only experience thus far. The diversity aspect is definitely important Thanks!
  8. Hey everyone, First off, congratulations to everyone who has heard back from their schools so far! I know this topic has been brought up before, but I would love some fresh input.
