@boyers2 @SSocial Did either of you plan on attending Fordham in the fall?

I saw this! Thank you very much.

Hi everyone! I did not go on this forum due to not applying to Columbia for the fall, but did get accepted to Fordham University and see a bunch of you all have been talking about there! Has anyone decided to attend Fordham this Fall or thinking about it? I was accepted but unsure if I want to attend. I would like to know one person maybe!

Has anyone else been accepted to Fordham University in NYC and/or thinking of going? I got accepted and got a small merit scholarship and thinking I might decide to go there. Might be nice to recognize someone!

Just accepted to Fordham University late last night!! It was a couple hours after being rejected from NYU.

U of Mich is the top school for Social Work, but funding is the most important thing. Michigan's program is only 16 months though I think.

Just got a phone call from Syracuse University today saying I have been accepted! The graduate admission coordinator said that my recommendations were amazing and they would love to offer me a place there!!

To all of you who heard back from NYU and got the roughly 17,000 in scholarships, did you use parents income on FAFSA?

I am unsure. I would check your email. I received an email stating their decision and that was to waitlist me. I also saw on the Wolverine account that I had to formally accept the waitlist decision to be considered. You need to take the ID the emailed you and make a "friend account" on their Wolverine website. If you have the ability, try calling the admissions office today and they can answer your questions about how to make an account, as it was pretty difficult for me.

Hello! I applied the day before early applications were due. I suspect that’s why I was waitlisted. I heard that the only way to be considered was to apply early admissions.

Thank you so much. I've been thinking about it, and I think being waitlisted for the top Social Work program in the US is a pretty good start.

You guys will understand. I told my grandparents (they raised me like their own child) that I was waitlisted for my top choice, and they said congratulations and others also said similar. I felt like I got shot when I was waitlisted. I won't get scholarships due to being the last pick, and won't know possibly for months. Do you guys think I am overreacting? I feel defeated.

I didn't decide to apply to Columbia due to my GPA/grades and how much I heard they cost. My last recommender is slacking and has not sent in the NYU recommendation which is the last material I need. I am hoping they respond shortly after. I did not like NYU's Social Work building from what I have heard and seen online of it, but that's just a +/- factor. I had also heard they are pretty pricey, even though I got a fee waiver for the application, almost immediately. What was the financial aid package like that you got from NYU? I heard CUNY Hunter takes quite a while to respond, but some people said they didn't take long at all, so that's a factor.

I haven't! I have only officially applied to one other school, CUNY Hunter, but they have not sent anything. One of my recommenders is slacking quite a bit (two months for a couple recommendations??).

Well I officially got my waitlist notification from the University of Michigan :/

I hope I get to see you at UMich!

Thank you so much!

Hello!! I am in the process of applying to grad schools for an MSW. I am applying to: University at Michigan-Ann Arbor (Early Application) New York University Fordham University (Lincoln Center) CUNY Hunter University at Buffalo University at Albany Syracuse University. I have sent in Michigan and NYU already due to receiving fee waivers. I am still waiting on one reference to send in her references (the other two sent theirs on the same day I asked for them, over a month ago). I have a 3.0ish GPA but have two semesters left to increase that (hopefully). My major was not Social Work, due to my college not having it. I had received a full scholarship to RIT and decided not to switch major but to create a degree in an individualized program school. My degree is a Bachelor of Science, in Applied Arts and Sciences, with concentrations in Social Work and Medical Science. I have a minor in Psychology and one in Communication. I also have done a paid internship at a child care center. I am from New York state, but my top choice is University at Michigan.
