1) After a really difficult decision I chose to commit to Teachers College Columbia. It was not my initial first choice (MGH was) but after being offered a significant scholarship it became a great option! It ultimately came down to staying in state (University of Minnesota) or taking the best financial choice out of state which surprisingly came down to be Columbia! Don't get me wrong cost of living will be crazy, but I wanted at adventure and NYC will give me that! Columbia also has a lot of opportunities that many universities down, such as a study abroad! I will never know if I made the right decision, but at least I can know I took a chance and the risk of moving out of state! 2) I applied to 7 schools. Rush, University of Minnesota, MGH, ASU, University of Kansas, NYU, and TC Columbia. Some how I was accepted to all of them! Which made it a tough choice!

48 credits at 1,538/credit. They said at the open house that the average CSD background student completes the program in 5-7 semesters. So keep in mind if you're living in NYC for up to 7 semesters the cost of living may be more expensive, even though the tuition itself isn't.

I declined my admission offer to KU today, hope that opens up a spot for someone hoping to go there!

I'm sure the negative stuff was a couple of years ago, they seem like they have tried to revamp the program. Just things I read! Not trying to sway anyone's opinion, I also am trying to sort it all out!

If you guys are having trouble joining the group because of this let me know! I can send the link to join the group privately if needed.

I also received my scholarship/aid package.

Got it!

I submitted my FAFSA before March 1st, I'm not sure about the exact date but it was before the priority deadline. I also am planning to attend the admitted students day!

I have just read various reviews, and past threads on gradcafe that commented on the disorganization of the program. Also that the program as a whole takes a lot longer than most programs and ends up costing a lot more, on top of the fact that it is already an incredibly expensive program.

Hi @slp2be1345 just curious what fantastic things you've heard about the program? I am considering this school but actually have heard not the best things and would love to hear positive things people have to share!

Anybody else trying to attend both the NYU and Teachers College open houses? They are scheduled on the same day, and over lap on timing in the morning. I am traveling all the way from Minnesota, so it seems silly for me to not try to make it both. Just curious if anyone else is trying to figure out the scheduling for both of these as well! I don't want to be rude by arriving late or leaving early from one or another, but also want to make sure I am able to get a glimpse of both!

Creating a facebook group seems to be the thing to do! So I figured I'd make one! https://www.facebook.com/groups/207758276258255/

Figured I would create one for Teachers College! https://www.facebook.com/groups/207758276258255/

Let me know if that doesn't work, I don't really know what I'm doing to be honest
