    For winter gear, I HIGHLY recommend LL Bean! They are the best company and you cannot beat their products. Their boots, jackets, etc. are a little expensive, but they will actually last you a lifetime. I've been using the same LL bean backpack for 11 years. Not kidding. And I know this sounds like an ad, I'm just really passionate about this company haha! And I've lived in Boston for a lot of my life

    I am officially attending Case Western in the fall I am so excited to finally be at the end of this crazy process!

    I think Ivy league schools carry a lot more weight in undergrad and certain specific grad degrees (maybe med school) but not for social work. I think people in the social work field get that, for the most part, and aren't going to penalize you for not having a Columbia degree. Especially since so many of the Ivy MSW programs have huge acceptance rates. I got in to the #1 ranked MSW programs, and decided to go to Case Western (which yes, is still highly ranked) because I got a full ride. Loans are just not worth it!

    I've heard great things about Ann Arbor...college towns aren't bad! It's only 2 years, which goes by so fast, and if it's the right program for you, with money, even better! That's actually a great question about the field stipend. That would be even more amazing for sure! I'll have to ask. Fingers crossed everything goes well with my visit and I really like the university and city.

    The cost of living is for sure on point! And I'm sure I'll like the city enough, at least for 2 years! It's pretty close to Ann Arbor, right? You sticking with your decision?

    Thank you so much! I really am still so surprised! Hoping to visit Cleveland soon!

    I was notified that I received the Leadership Fellows scholarship! That is a full ride so it looks like I'm heading to Case Western! I am just in shock.

    I contacted the admissions person and just sent an email. She said that they typically don't review applications for more money, but decided to for mine! So I think I really lucked out.

    I've declined Chicago, Michigan, and Boston College. I should hear back from the Case fellowship this week or next at the latest. I am not holding my breath. Unless I get that, I should be headed to WashU! They actually gave me a little bit more money which will help out.

    Congratulations on deciding!!! That's so awesome! I've only heard good things about the program and I'm sure it will be awesome for you!!

    I just turned down my place at Univeristy of Michigan. I hope that means one of you gets my spot (and my money!). Good luck to everyone <3

    Finally got my scholarship offer today! Pretty on-par with the rest of my offers. Not enough to make me go there.
  17. Joy418
    I still haven't gotten my scholarship offer yet. Anyone else waiting? Does this mean I'm not getting an offer?
  18. Joy418
    I don't know where but I did found the employment for WUSTL. It's good...mental health concentration had an average $38k starting salary. But I'm guessing it's comprable to Case

    That's about what I received from them in scholarship, too. I was accepted 12/29 and got my scholarship info 1/21. But it sounded like they were interviewing everyone for the fellowship last week and this coming week...so idk if they've already notified everyone they're considering I could be totally wrong. I am quite sure I won't get it. But I won't find out for a couple weeks.
