I read that for some schools, deferment is only accepted if we provide documents that can verify 'legitimate' reasons such as a major change in financial/family status and etc. Would they accept needing to earn more money as a valid reason? I'm scared to ask.. Yikes

Yes, I may have to defer my enrollment but I wonder if that'd be possible to request just for financial reasons.

I was just notified that the scholarship amount they had given me was a mistake. I can't believe that they would make such a mistake..! I was so excited...

I think I'll have to attend upitt too! I wonder if I could ask for an opportunity to visit before deciding though. I've never been to Pittsburgh so I want to see what it'll be like living there..

I got 8k per semester, which is a pretty generous amount to be receiving. I think it'd be the most realistic option for me, although it'd be kind of difficult to let go of NYU and Columbia. Does anyone know if we'll be able to change our concentration once we get there?

Hi! Sorry about the late update. I received an email about updated app status, and I was able to check my decision status in the portal. And yes, I am an intl student. I expect to have no financial aid/grant from columbia..

Thanks! I submitted my app on the first of December, but it was completed on the 11th.

Just got my decision letter..! Got accepted to the two year program but there was no notice about scholarship or anything

I haven't received such email.. Are you guys all getting them? Do they offer paid visit to all accepted students?

Thank you @tudor3x8, @morlvera and @sugarandspice for your answers about UPitt and NYU concerns. I was able to extend my deadline for NYU by 4 weeks and earned some more time to wait for other school decisions and plan out financial stuff. I hope UPitt will mail out the scholarships soon.. I am eager to find out about scholarship because I am in dire need for aid. @morningjunky, I am visiting Hunter College today because my app has been 'incomplete' for a while.. I'll ask about group interview schedules while I'm at it.

Hi, @tlove11, I've been accepted to UPitt MSW program this year, and I'm in dire need of large amount of scholarship. I noticed that you received $8000 per semester, and I wonder if it depends a lot on gpa. Do you mind sharing the gpa you applied with? I just want to reference it and see how much I can expect to receive. Thanks!

Hi guys! Glad to join you guys here. For all the students accepted to UPitt, did your decision notice on the application portal include any info about scholarship? My admission offer didnt even mention anything about scholarship, so I'm wondering if that means I won't be considered for scholarship.. Also, I have less than a week to make a decision for NYU 2 year program. I wish I could extend the deadline for the decision answer- has anyone heard of NYU letting ppl do this?
