  1. After an excruciating past few weeks I think I have finally decided to decline my first choice, Columbia University. I am so happy and proud to have been accepted into this program but the sychronous online courses coupled with the high tuition and not so high scholarship mean I would not be able to work even part-time and would be forced to take out more loans than I am comfortable. I think I will be much happier at Fordham given the program allows for flexibility and the opportunity to work and earn an income while studying. It's a top clinical program so it is definitely not a consolatory school. I hope by now everyone is already set and ready for the their fall MSW schedules! Best of luck to all!
  2. I just got accepted to my dream MSW program and while I received a nice scholarship (I will definitely apply for additional aid & /scholarships) I will still have to take out a sizable loan for both years. I know graduate school is expensive but I'm worried I'll turn down my 1st choice due to me being scared to take out more loans. Any advice?
  3. Sakanie: Yeah, I felt the same way. The video would not work for our interview so it ended up being this awkward Skype phone call. I felt like my answers were OK as well. I thought the question I asked was OK...not too bad. But the last question really got me (why online?) I live not so far away from campus but felt online was easier to be able to balance school, internship and part-time work. but I felt like they wanted more of an answer and asked again why I didn't consider living on campus. I don't know. I am trying to be hopeful. I am in the same situation as you with regards to Fordham. I submitted my app late march and just got an email a week or 2 ago saying they'd have a decision within 4-6 weeks. ugh...I just want to know already.
  4. Thanks for the resource Sakanie! Don't think my interview went too well. But we'll see! Best of luck!
  5. Hi Sakanie! I am scheduled for Thursday as well! Best of luck to you!! Please keep me updated on how it goes! Hiclub2: Yes, I applied to the online campus.
  6. Hi all, I just got an email from Columbia inviting me to have an interview. I am super nervous since I have no idea what they will be asking me. Has anyone interviewed with them before? advice? Thanks!!!
  7. I was just accepted yesterday!!! anyone on here planning on attending?
  8. I have applied for the masters program but have not heard back yet (I applied end of March)
  9. Hey I graduated from Adelphi (Garden City campus) undergrad. Great school, although pricey. It is a lot smaller than other universities so you get personalized attention.
  10. I applied to the program as well. I did one of the online info sessions and liked the layout of the program. Of course the price tag is ridiculous! I have not hear back yet but I applied at the end of March so that may be why.
