Apparently, Albany had to push back their deadline for applications, due to lack of applicants. I'm not sure if that is definitely the case, but i am currently a UAlbany student, and had heard one of my professors mention that. Meaning, their decisions probably won't be out until april.

Received my financial aid info today, i received 13k. It is still going to be a long shot that i can afford it though. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on possibly emailing financial aid, and asking if they would consider offering more? what do people think about this idea?

update! i was accepted into columbia today, but still haven't heard from NYU. i'm thinking i will call tomorrow!

just wondering if anyone else has applied/heard from/ got an interview with columbia or nyu for the MSW program. I haven't heard of anything, and am starting to wonder when i will!

i had the same experience. my interviewer told me she was recommending me, and also that the faculty does sometimes surprise her, but i got in!! so maybe it will be the same for you! i also heard two days after my interview, so you may hear sooner than you think.

I haven't received my financial aid info yet, i should be getting within the week! i will let you know when i find out.

just giving an update, i was accepted into the program! beyond excited. good luck with your interview!

My interview went so much better than i expected! i have high hopes!! two weeks for me to hear as well!! Good luck!

I have my interview with Penn tomorrow via skype. I am so nervous. This is the first interview i have ever done. I'm finishing up my last semester of undergrad, but am graduating a full year early, so i feel very unprepared going into the interview. I don't have much social work experience at all, so i'm worried i will be penalized for that. Who did you interview with?
