    TC Columbia Counseling vs BU

    in Psychology Forum

    Posted · Edited by laurjorg

    Hi all,

    I made a thread a few weeks back about the Counseling program at BU and got some good feedback. I am currently deciding between there and Columbia, and was wondering if anyone had any insight into comparing these two schools. In dire need since I gave in two deposits! Thanks :)

    @dancedementia Thanks for your input! I'm actually going for my Masters, not Doctorate so I don't have a POI. I am going towards the school counseling track. I also see your program is of Higher Education, and I am hoping to be able to go into Higher Education with my Masters in Counseling. I'm currently between Teachers College at Columbia and BU.

    @sackofcrap Thanks so much for your input! I'm deciding between Teachers College and BU still, just hoping that a job along with the program will make my decision for me.

    @nrvsandexcited94 is I believe :)

    I also think that the median age would be just a few years older (they said the average amount of work experience is 4.6 years).

    Thanks, Heather! Guess I'll get more of the vibe on Accepted Students Day :)

    Just out of curiosity-off topic from financial aid-is anyone on this thread fresh out of undergrad? I am and wondering where I'm going to be fitting into the community if I accept.

    BU Counseling Psych

    I've been accepted to a multitude of schools, and right now am between Boston University, Harvard and Columbia. BU gave a generous package, and I am likely going to obtain a GA. I have not heard about funding from Harvard.

    For any current BU Counseling students out there-what are the best/worst parts of your program? Coming from a non-psych background, I don't have much support with choosing schools. I'm doing my emphasis in school counseling, and I love the research professors are doing and the positive psych/strengths emphasis. I'm just not sure what the job outlook is, and a little worried about the lack of emphasis on multicultural perspectives.

    Advice/comments? Thanks!

    Just got my financial aid award.  $9K scholarship.  Nail in the coffin, pretty much.

    Received the same award. Although I can commute from home which may make a difference! I'm hoping for what everyone's saying in that maybe it means more need-based awards later.

    Anyone know if they award need-based scholarships? Or just merit-based? I know mine is merit-based.

    P.S. All this info has been super helpful! Thanks all!

    Questions to Ask During Masters Interview, help!

    What aspects of a Master's program are most important to you? What will be your deciding factor(s) when selecting a program?

    Whatever idea/thought/question popped into your head, should lead you to important questions to ask during your interview. I see that you already have two acceptances, meaning that you are going to have to choose between at least two different schools. What do you want to know about the program/faculty/facilities/financial support from the university that is going to help you make your decision in the end?

    It's so important to ask these questions during the interview because, like I said above, it will help tremendously with the decision-making process!

    Thanks so much! This helped a ton, especially because I'm having a lot of trouble picking a top school

    Counseling Psych/School Counseling Interview

    in Psychology Forum

    Posted

    Hi all!

    I am currently in the process of applying/interviewing for counseling psychology programs with concentrations in school counseling. I have one coming up for Teachers College and was wondering if anyone could share knowledge on these types of interviews! My last was more school/social justice based. I'm not currently studying psychology, and wanted to know if I need to worry about specific psychology questions or any common questions for these interviews!

    Hi all!

    I am a current senior about to graduate with a speech pathology degree. I am looking at school counseling programs. I was wondering what everyone's take on school counseling programs is-I'm a little worried they are too narrow, although I would like to work in an educational setting, non-clinical wise.

    I'm currently looking at GWU, Columbia, BU, UMD, and NYU.

    Thanks!

    GRE scores-retake?

    in Speech-Language Pathology Forum

    Posted

    Hey guys!

    I just took the GRE and received a score of 161 V and 162 Q (haven't gotten AWA yet). I know those are high scores, but I'm applying to schools like Columbia, NYU and BU. Is it worth a retake, even just for more chance of funding or GA positions? I also just like seeing if I can improve for myself.

    Thanks!

    Hey guys!

    I am currently a junior Undergrad at St. John's University and looking at a bunch of graduate programs. I am absolutely in love with Deaf culture and have taken 2 college classes and one summer class at a Deaf school for ASL. I would love to work with this population, but also would love to work in a school in general, and am open to hospitals as well.

     

    Does anybody know any specifics about the program at Gallaudet? The only things I can find are on their website, but I would love to get an insider's point of view!

     

    Thanks!
