I am attending NYU in the fall.

I put down my deposit and am definitely attending. I didn't ask for financial aid and received some money. Now I'm trying to figure out where to live, if grad housing is worth it.

Just got my acceptance letter!

Got my acceptance letter!

Am I the only one who hasn't heard from NYU yet? I applied in Jan and I didn't ask for financial aid. I'm really freaking out.

I am applying to CSUB.

NYU Silver, USC, Portland State, Boston College, Boston University, CSU Bakersfield.

Schools that I'm considering include USC, NYU Silver, University of Southern Florida, Boston College, Boston University, Cal State Long Beach, Portland State and Tulane.

Hey guys, So I plan on applying to grad school (an MSW Program) for Fall 2017. I'm absolutely nervous. I currently have a cumulative GPA of 3.325. I've had a rough patch my first 2 years, I was hospitalized for depression and even after I came out I was depressed for another year, had a bunch of self harming issues, eating disorder, etc which basically means had a low GPA then. I decided to change my major from psychology to sociology, and then my GPA as well as happiness went up significantly. I become more mentally stable. I had to withdraw from some courses to go to therapy (one this semester after my friend committed suicide), but I compensated the credits for summer courses and did well all my other courses I did not drop. I currently have two internships under my belt, one being with the Red Cross and doing career counseling in my school. Also from a few years ago, I have a wide variety in volunteer experience working with children and seniors. Writing is one of my greatest strengths, so I will have no issue writing powerful application essays. In fact, I was going to send part of my senior research project. It should be noted I am applying to schools that do not require the GRE. With my adversities, is my chances of getting into a program tough? I have at least 7 schools I'd like to apply, talked to an admission's officer last year where they thought I could be a good fit. I'm just so nervous and having like major anxiety attacks about this haha.
