Got my acceptance the other day! Has anyone decided to go here? I've been accepted to Fordham, USC, and Columbia. USC is out at this point because I'd prefer not to do online. I am excited about getting into Columbia, but it is so expensive. I know Fordham University is certainly less known than Columbia, but is still a great school and cheaper. What are you guys thinking? Is Fordham anyone's top choice?
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?

Same here. Wondering if there are opportunities to apply for other scholarships when you are in your first year?
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 got the same $2,000 a year email, but it also said that based on the strength of my application, it is being considered for merit scholarships and I will hear back about that within 5 business days. So it seems like the $2,000 has nothing to do with merit, and all to do with financial aid (need).
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?

I just got the email. If I was local I'd definitely attend. I will be there in August for the online orientation.
