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. 

If you call, can you let us know what they say about financial aid/an extension? because i'm 10000% in the same boat

Got my rejection too, congrats to those who got in though ❤️ Can’t wait to see all the amazing stuff you accomplish!!

[BERKELEY MSW FALL 18]

I know this is ridiculous because it totally depends on so many factors, but I'm in freak out mode...

 

Can anyone who was accepted share brief stats?

I got waitlisted from UC Berkeley today if anyone is waiting for a decision!

Gah, what time did you hear??

[Columbia MSW Applicants (Fall 2018)]

I got my email yesterday too around 5:30 NYC time! So surreal that it finally happened lol!

Thanks.  Did you make it in time to apply for the Dean's scholarship, or were yours need and merit based scholarships?

 

Mine was strictly merit based—they said it shows up as the Dean’s Account Award, if that’s the same thing, I’m not sure.

I cant help but be optimistic lol!  I am applied for the Children and families concentration as well as Title IV-e, which required interviews. We were  informed at the interview that they wanted to let us know earlier this eyear which is why they completed interviews earlier. I know it’s a long shot! I’m just thankful to have made it to March! 

Oh! I did the traditional 2 year program, so you’ll probably hear back sooner! Get pumped, you’re almost there!!! Hoping you’ll hear today!!!???

I just got my acceptance to University of Southern California,  but there’s no mention of scholarships in my acceptance letter.  It’s not my first choice and I for sure couldn’t afford it without scholarships.  Still good news though!

CONGRATS!!! When I got my acceptance, it didn't say anything about financial aid either, but later the same day I got an email with my scholarship package in it from my advisor! So give it a few hours and see what they say!

Is anyone else hopeful that today being 3/1 we might hear something? Call it optimism or naïveté. 

Seriously hoping, but trying not to get too excited since most people last year seemed to hear on March 15th exactly...UGHH

I'm feeling the exact same way. I already sent my deposit into Rutgers but I just want to hear if I got accepted into Columbia! The wait is ridiculous 

If you send in a deposit, are you able to withdraw easily or is it a whole process? (I know you won't get the deposit back, I just hate asking for additional extensions on top of the first ones while waiting on these schools to get their ish together)

I mean the staff did say the first few weeks of March. If we don't count this week, then that would be two weeks from now. Plus if we look at the 2017 thread, a surge of people got their admission notices in February. We haven't seen that surge yet so maybe that will happen soon? I don't know, just staying positive 

I keep trying to make sense of it too, but I think that this year they were hit with a lot more applications than they maybe expected, so I don't think they really have a method to the madness in terms of waiting/releasing other acceptances...just gotta be patient...as much as we possibly can at this point.

True, and i feel like most of the people who got in received the email around 5:00PM from Columbia. I am dying..

Every day at 5pm I hold my breath and refresh the email...but nothing comes. The website says on or around March 1st so I'm feeling especially nervous today...let's hope that today is our day!! 

[Columbia MSW Applicants (Fall 2018)]

I left my phone when I left my apartment earlier in the hopes that I'd return to an email at 5, but no such luck...the wait is K I L L I N G me

[Columbia MSW Applicants (Fall 2018)]

I hope not...I still haven't heard anything! It's like at least give me a rejection so I can move on with my life!

[BERKELEY MSW FALL 18]

Ughhh! I wish they would just tell us already one way or another! Honestly, I'd rather a rejection at this point than to have to keep waiting!

[Columbia Social Work Program Fall 2018]

Anyone hear anything?! I've been silently stalking this thread for a couple weeks now and am getting antsy with some people getting acceptances already...not really expecting good news, but any news at this point would be greatly appreciated!!! GAHH

[POST UPENN INTERVIEW]

Hi! I recently had the exact same situation happen to me!

NYU gave me a month, and I interviewed with UPenn! I got my decision exactly two weeks after my interview! Online says 2-3 weeks, but I had mine on the earlier end!

Good luck to you!
