Thank you so much! And yeah, sadly it does. After reading through everyone's comments on this thread it seems that a lot are dealing with the same stuff.
Congrats on Rutgers! Do you mind reminding me what program you were applying for? Possible stats or experience?
Also, @doctormelody yes I have called twice! Been waiting since 11/30! Wild! Starting to be a big turn off...
-
...... still nothing.......
-
@Sunset95 I’m so sorry you didn’t get the results you had hoped for. I still haven’t heard anything (applied 11/30 priority advanced standing clinical) UPenn is an unbeleiveably prestigious school, equal to Columbia in my opinion. Very impressive, and you should be very proud. As everyone else said, not a rejection!!!
-
@OliviaRoseI applied advanced standing residential for clinical and have not heard back yet
-
@doctormelody aw it’ll be ok!!! I can imagine that being even more nerve wracking!! I’m also extremely worried. The drawn out waiting process is making me question myself. Praying for good answers this week! Maybe tomorrow will be the day.

@rosieposie I applied for the same program! Are you advanced standing or 2 year residential for clinical? I applied 11/30 for 1 yr and still haven’t heard!

Hi Guys!
I been a long long long time lurker and I just decided to make an account. So I can give any inputs if needed. I was accepted to Columbia University on 2/16 to the reduced residency program with a concentration in Clinical and Mental health. I sumbitted my application on 1/20 and I received a confirmed email on 1/27 stating application was completed. Im CURRENTLY waiting for an email regarding financial. I have to submit my decision by 3/16, since I was only given 30 days to decide. I will probably be calling the school by next Monday and ask for an extension, until I receive any scholarship information.
Congrats on your acceptance!!

Hi guys! I've been following this thread since early Feb., but only decided to make an account now - because I'm dying over here! I submitted my application on Jan. 17 for the for 2-year traditional program with a concentration in clinical practice. As I'm currently doing a psych postbacc at Columbia now, I'm considering walking over to CUSSW's admissions office and asking about application statuses in person - is this inappropriate? I have no gauge. Appreciate anyone's input... hope everyone's staying warm!
maybe in person would get more info? probably unlikely since they have to give the same generic answer to everyone to cover all their bases... but still worth a try! take one for the team! lol thank you!
-
OK i called again....lol..... she said they cant give any details other than they are working through priority applicants and to be safe she said we will hear within 2 weeks. No use in calling anymore... we must practice patience! (easier said than done!)

There was someone who posted here that they were online clinical two-year. She applied 2/14 and already heard back that they were wait-listed. I don't know if the system is automatic in that regards or they are at that point that they are running out of room for certain programs. I'm freaking out and want to call on my behalf because I don't see any other online two year clinical folks. I applied 12/1.
I was told online and 2 yr programs have heard the most... i would call
-
You never know!!! @doctormelody Im rooting for you and everyone as well!!
-
I had called I believe two weeks ago (maybe 3) at this point and she had said within 2-3 weeks all priority applicants would hear. She assured me no responses have gone out based on application stength. Only based on date of submission and concentration. So don’t lose hope!

I just called again. They said by the end of next week....“hopefully”. Not giving up on them but it’s important for me since I’m an advanced standing student and would have to make my summer available for the program. I applied 12/2 and was considered “priority”.
Has anyone been rejected yet??? Someone please disclose (if you’re comfortable). We know that you will be valuable in any MSW program. We just want to know if they’ve sent rejections yet! ??
Lastly, am I crazy or am I the only Advanced General Practice & Programming applicant here? I don’t think they go by concentration but I’m curious to know if anyone in my concentration received a decision. My reach school UC Berkeley already waitlisted me so I’d be shocked to get denied by Columbia at this point.
Yikes, I’m venting again. I think I’m going to take a break from this starting this weekend ? thanks for being a great online support group!
If what they told me was true when i called... she said rejections have been sent out and they are going based on concentration and date of submission. I also applied priority on 11/30 for advanced standing but for clinical practice and still have not heard.... im really hoping by today or tomorrow.
-
I called already last week but didnt specifically ask where i was in the queue... thats a good idea! I can't imagine how many calls they must be getting every day.

You could try to call them before they close? They might be slightly annoyed about it though since they're in the middle of a blizzard up there. You were a priority applicant, right? It's so hard to keep track of everyone's status.
Yes priority applicant for 1 year program. I applied 3 days after @JonoDuncan but for the clinical concentration, so i was hoping that would mean i would hear back this week!
-
NOOOO I cant take it anymore!!!!

@JonoDuncan so happy for you!!!!!!! When did you apply?

Rejected today. Applied for advanced standing clinical residential. 4.0 Gpa, NASW award winner and scholarship winner for my writing skills, have amazing experience and am an active campus member, President of social work club and member of 7 national honor societies... so much volunteer experience and overcame many hardships in life. Can’t believe it. Although I must admit, I am relieved deep down. Good luck to everyone else!
