Has anyone heard back about receiving an appeal for scholarships? I just got an increase in funding to $9000. It's not much, but any little bit helps
-
I have decided to commit to NYU and have declined the other schools that accepted me.
-
I just got a status update on the NYU Albert page, with a scholarship of $8,000 and work study of $3,000. I haven't received any emails yet about looking over my appeal, or getting an email about my financial aid status, so I'm trusting that Brendon is right and that we'll hear back about appeals this week.

Yeah don't lose hope! I also applied mid December, so it took quite a bit of time to get the turn around as well! Good luck!

Two year clinical

Yup- it says submitted but pending interview just under it.
-
No problem! Happy to help
-
Just received a request for an interview! Clinical concentration.

Hi! Looking through my email, it looks like I sent the message to general admissions (gssadmission@fordham.edu)
-
Congrats Opt! I did ask for an extension from Fordham and they gave me an additional month. They're very nice about it, so I wouldn't hesitate if I were you. Worst thing they can do is say no, but given how helpful they've been, I'm sure they will.

Received my financial aid info... unfortunately isn't nearly enough to make me consider attending. I received a "general" scholarship, but no work-study. I've submitted my FAFSA, so I'm not sure if that is what affects the amount I would receive for work-study?
-
Thank you so much! I just sent them an email, so hopefully they'll respond soon!
-
I submitted mine on 12/18 and it still says "submitted."
-
Hey Brendon, Did you just send an email to the financial aid department, or is there an appeal form that I could fill out?

Fall 2016 Decisions - MSW (Masters in Social Work)
tudor3x8 replied to morningjunky's topic in Social Workers Forum
I've all but locked down NYU. I'm still waiting on Columbia's financial aid package, and whether Hunter might give me an interview, but since I'll be living with relatives and NYU's financial aid package compared to Fordham's and Yeshiva's, it's a better program fit for me and was my first choice. The tuition still is pretty hefty, but I'm hoping that I'll get some work study and apply to more scholarships to help the costs. -
Still only says submitted.

Volunteer work & experience needed for SW
tudor3x8 replied to kingslayer's topic in Social Workers Forum
I honestly didn't have the quintessential volunteer experience needed for social work. I did a lot of mentoring in college and after college I did a lot with eating disorder awareness. Looking back, I probably could (and probably should have) done more, but since my interest is with mental health, I think it's worked out. My GPA is also much lower than your friend's- I think his chances are quite good right now. Of course, the more experience he gets the better, but I think universities can tell when you're padding your resume rather than doing something because you care about it. -
Anyone know when we might hear back about interviews for Hunter?
-
I applied for the 2-year program after the priority deadline.
-
Got my acceptance a little before 5 PM today! Not going to lie, I was pretty surprised and very relieved. We'll see how financial aid turns out though...
-
I've actually been cooking and baking like crazy since the beginning of the year. I thought it was a good alternative, but then I realized all I'm baking are brownies and cakes and then cooking pastas... Yeah need to find something else to stress eat.
-
Not in the award email. I contacted the financial aid department directly, and they told me that it is renewable as long as I remain a full-time student in good standing. I would contact them to confirm though- I'd assume it's the same for us all, but I'm not positive.
-
They said mine is renewable each year.
-
Of course! We all got to share whatever useful information we have. Yeshiva's program is definitely underrated (or perhaps just not well known?), and I'd hope that future applicants would be able to take a look at this program in the future.

Thanks! It's a program where you complete your courses in the summer and do your fieldwork during the academic year. I was interested in it because then I could work in during the academic year, which she said was the reason that many students chose the program. You'd do three summers in class and two academic years of fieldwork.
