I just got in the Columbia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy! 

One group: “Boston Apartment/Roommate search for college students”

If I end up going to BC, I’m commuting from home. But from my experience there at undergrad- a good area to look for apartment is Brighton/Allston, it’ll be on the T (b line). Cleveland circle or around the C line is a good place. Not sure how much these apartments go for, but I see a lot of Facebook posts about subletting if that’s an option for you. 

Hi friends! 

This thread has been very helpful to me in my application process to Columbia's SW program! I thought I'd try and be of any type of help to this thread as well. I submitted my application on 11/30/17, and I just found out about an hour ago that I was accepted into their 2-year traditional program and I applied to their SEA concentration. They've given me 30 days from today to respond with a decision. I will admit I was nervous for a while considering I submitted my application a long time ago. Hopefully you all hear a response soon.

Well everyone, after a good night's rest I have decided not to accept the waitlist offer and I just sent in my deposit to Penn! I just felt my application process was not positive enough to accept an "eh, you'll fit you in if we can" offer and I feel really good about my decision. Plus Penn was just about tied with Columbia in my book if I'm being honest. I'm still going to check in with this forum to see your updates because I'm really invested in everyone's outcomes. We've sort of become a family on here through this torture?

It's probably for the best. Columbia was my dream but if I'm being honest, I got very good vibes from UPenn. My gut is telling me that's the place to be and I think I'm going to follow it.

I got in ? traditional two year, SEA concentration 

yep, that was for the entire year, and I received an email.

thanks for sharing, did you get an email with the info or was it on the application website?
edit: also is it $18k per year? 

thank you! yes the portal is where the application status and application checklist is. all that is different is a link that says "status update". they use the same application software as UC Berkeley 

I checked the portal on a whim! 

Thank you! I didn’t even get the email yet! I’m shook!

I earned an A.S. in 2013.  I graduated with two bachelors in fall 2017. One was a B.A. in psych and the other was a B.S. in an unrelated field. My cumulative GPA was probably 3.8ish, but when I transferred for my bachelor degrees I graduated with a 4.0 for those. At the time of my application I volunteered on a crisis text line for 6 months, at-risk youth for 1.5 years, and worked full-time in a residential treatment facility for 6 months. I felt my "stand out" in my application was my heavy research experience though. I've been involved for 2 years and had a publication and presented posters at a few conferences. Lastly, I'm also a veteran and incorporated those experiences in my statements.

What?? That’s amazing. Does it say when it was updated? 

Congrats!!! It must be nice for the wait to be over, even if you were being patient

I LOVE the campus. It's a very beautiful campus. It's right on the B line & there is shuttles to the D line (quicker way into the city). For undergrad, a big thing for me was that I didn't want to be directly in the city and Chestnut Hill is a good distance from downtown, and it was less than a hour drive from home. But as a POC, there were a lot of issues BC could've handled better. 

LOL if we all get in, we have to all meet up in person. I feel like ive gone through a war with yall and we bonded over a traumatic experience. We will be the closest MSW class ever

I applied 2/2!
