  1. Congrats on your acceptance to Columbia!!!! I know you’re pretty set on NYU but if you change your mind, let me know!
  2. Wow!! Congrats to you both ? I’ll be in New York too @breannmarie if youre ever in the Harlem area!
  3. 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!!
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. Are you going to attend? We are going to be classmates! I’m in the AGPP concentration too! ☺️
  7. 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? ?
  8. Thanks for reply! I did add them but I haven’t gotten anything? I just got the scholarship. Not a breakdown of everything else?
  9. 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!
  10. 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!!!
  11. Will you be attending? Were you okay with your financial aid?
  12. 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!!!
  13. 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.
  14. Quick question to admitted Columbia students.! For those who have received their financial packages, do you mind sharing what you received? Specifically for advanced standing applicants. If you don’t mind sharing of course! If you would rather PM me, you are more than welcome to. Just trying to see what they are willing to give.

  16. Hey! I never replied to your first comment because I really needed time to think. But I did and I am going to submit my deposit to Columbia this weekend. I think that you are 100% doing the right thing going to NYU (even though my opinion means zero). The clinical track can be done in many different ways but top schools like NYU will do it best. But I am going into program development and administration, so I need that from my graduate program. I am also going into a PhD in education and I think that Columbia will help my chances of obtaining that tuition free (I will not be getting a PhD otherwise lol. I think we are similar! And I think that it’d be cool to link up when we get there! If it’s okay, I’ll PM you and we can exchange info!!
  17. CAN WE PLEASE! ? I’ll be in New York forsure. No worries! I know it’s hard to keep up. I am a BSW and my focus is pretty clear. I am into school social work & interning as a school social worker right now. I am very involved on campus and president of a multicultural club. My GPA overall is 3.6 but my social work GPA is 3.8. I have worked several jobs on my campus, so I am pretty involved with school administration as it is. I’ve worked in dependency courts, summer camp, and several nonprofits. I’ve been abroad to study my second language, Spanish. I got a Public Policy fellowship last summer at the University of Minnesota. I’m also coming from Los Angeles, so my program focused on diverse, urban communities! I hope that helps! My focus is advanced generalist practice and programming!!
  18. Hey there! I’m suprised you didn’t hear back? We are both Advanced standing aren’t we? But anywho, my application was submitted 12/2, 1 year program. Thanks tho! You should be hearing back soon!!
  19. Columbia is my first choice! Thanks! I’d like to hear from both Columbia and NYU applicants/admitted/alumni students to make my final choice. So anyone feel free to add more feedback. I have a week to decide before I lose NYU’s offer!
  20. Thank you thank you!! Sending good vibes your way! Hold on tight!
  21. I SPOKE TOO SOON!!! I GOT IN I FINALLY GOT IN!!!!!
  22. I’m with you because I have to wait until you hear back before I can expect to hear back ?
