For me it comes down to cost. I am still waiting on fin aid info from another school so I have yet to decide about Fordham. I'm advanced standing but I plan to obtain another grad degree after my MSW. I am trying to be extremely conservative when it comes to borrowing. Is Columbia very expensive compared to Fordham? Can Columbia give you funding that makes it comparable to Fordham?
I'm an advanced standing/online applicant so I'm not sure what might be available for 2 year students. I've applied for various private scholarships including community foundations in my area. Anyone else apply for advanced standing?
I also received the initial email with offer of $2000 and that I would hear back about merit based $$$. Fordham emailed me yesterday and they have bumped my scholarship up to $10,000 total. Anyone else hear back regarding merit based funding?
