Congrats on your acceptance to Columbia!!!! I know you’re pretty set on NYU but if you change your mind, let me know!

Wow!! Congrats to you both ? I’ll be in New York too @breannmarie if youre ever in the Harlem area!

Hello all!!! I hope you’re doing swell! It’s April and it’s been a looooong journey! Though it is not over for all of us, I’d love to hear where everyone has decided to committ to. It’s been great hearing everyone’s stats and results. I have high hopes for everyone in this field and I look forward to calling you my colleagues. Make change whenever you go!!

Hey!! So did I!! I already committed to Columbia University but I asked to be notified if a space opened up. Good luck to you! Crossing my fingers

I think I saw that when I was looking up jobs!! I just got hired as a resident advisor for a summer camp for high schools at Columbia!! Super convienent seeing as I have officially committed to attending! ? coming from LA.

IM SO FREAKING HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!

Are you going to attend? We are going to be classmates! I’m in the AGPP concentration too! ☺️

Thank you so much!! Same to you! I can’t wait! We should be meeting in class in July then? I’m an Adavnced Generalist Practice and Programming student! Moving from Los Angeles. I think I saw you in our CSSW new student FB group! I think everyone on all these grad threads deserve a little party when all is settled lol. When it gets closer to the summer, I can create a New York MSWs GradCafe forum or FB group? What does everyone think? ?

Thanks for reply! I did add them but I haven’t gotten anything? I just got the scholarship. Not a breakdown of everything else?

I am happy to say that I have accepted Columbia’s offer and will be attending as a an advanced standing student! I have been going back-and-forth for a while, but I know this is the right choice for me. I am steadily rooting for you all that are waiting for your decision. I know that this is anxiety provoking experience, and I was in your shoes not too long ago. There are no right words to say for everyone but just know that your decision is coming. The theory about them marking you down for calling multiple times, could be possible. Anything could be possible! But I would hope that there is a high regard for professionalism at Columbia, and that it would not be the case. I also say this because I called many times before receiving my acceptance Lol. If anyone is going back and forth, I am not qualified to tell you about the program 100% of course. But I could give you some insight on my decision! Also, any one who is moving to New York City, I am actively looking to connect with my fellow social workers as I will be coming from across the country! Networking is key! Feel free to PM me. Stay positive friends! I promise things will work out either way!

Do you have to accept NYU’s offer to receive the full financial aid package? I’ve officially committed to Columbia as of today but I haven’t declined NYU’s offer. I want to see what my package would’ve been lol So excited to be in the same city as you all! Let’s definitley connect!!!

Still rooting for all you that are waiting!! ??

Will you be attending? Were you okay with your financial aid?

I am no financial aid rep but I’m pretty sure it has to do with those aspects :/ it doesn’t make sense. I’m glad you got 1k more but you deserve better. Nonetheless, I love your dedication!! I will see you in seminar this summer if you’d like to connect!!!

Thank you for this!!! Oh GOODNESS. If I only get 11k I will be highly upset. Have you been working full time or something? Im hoping for the 18k as well. NYU offered the same.
