I applied Jan 9th but my application wasn't complete until end of January because they made a mistake

I got accepted to Columbia and NYU! Still considering the amount of loans I will have to take out but at the same time I went to an instate school undergrad so I saved money there, don't know if the "investment" is worth it for grad school! Waiting on hunter still

@jordanna you need to have clinical social work classes to qualify for the LCSW to do therapy in NYS

@Jillchristine do you mind me asking how they did financial scholarship information? was it through loans or scholarships? Also how did you decide upon Columbia? Did you finish the stats requirement before u were accepted? Sorry I am so curious

They said financial aid will come in a few weeks! praying I get scholarship!

I still havent gotten an email but my status update was changed so check the status

Just got into Columbia!!!!

I just received my acceptance!

Ahhh emmypie, so glad to hear I am not the only one graduating early. I will also have just turned 21 when I start as well

Is everyone else coming straight from undergrad? I am actually graduating in 3 years so I am really young and was wondering if anyone else is around my age.

Tell us about your stats since you think you're above us all

Thanks Shannon! That made me feel better

I have a 3.5 in psych, worked in 2 research labs, volunteered for 3 non-profits, interned for a summer in a social work community clinic and have solid recs from professors in human development and psych and a rec from my non-profit supervisor... so hopefully it will all work out. I won't listen to anyone's negativity!

Plus it doesn't sound like you belong in social work anyway if you talk to people like that!

the awkward moment when you say "deuces" and "jokes" and then you tell us we have poor english....

Makes no sense... I am honestly appalled that is how someone talks to other people regardless of if he or she knows the person or not. Def not how a prospective social worker should act.

wow that was uncalled for, I am pretty sure that person didn't even get in yet but you're supposed to be going into social work and that is how you talk to people.......?

I know it has a great program it is just really expensive and I live in the NY metro area so it would be cheaper to not have to move to Boston! Thanks though

why haven't the rest of us heard? this is torture!! Now I have to send my $300 deposit to BU to hold my spot while I wait

Is the status on the actual application portal?

I applied 11/21 and still havent heard back

ahh congrats! I am dying hopefully it comes soon

I feel like I am def not going to get in!! this is so anxiety producing!!!!!!

Yeah mine starts with an S so I think I will be hearing back later tonight... hopefully lol maybe they send them out alphabetically!! what time did everyone get their decisions?

Are your last names at the beginning of the alphabet??? I haven't received my decision yet
