Any news for any of you today?

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Does anyone know offhand the total cost of Columbia? By my estimation it’s like 90k for tuition alone, which seems insane, but what do I know...

It’s the same as Tulane’s as well. I think a lot of schools use it.

I would call them, but I feel like it’s too early for me... any other brave volunteers? ?

Yeah, that would be a messed-up thing to do.

I know this is not the topic of this thread and I apologize, but would anyone who got into Simmons be willing to let me PM you about financial aid? I haven’t heard anything from them despite having gotten in almost a month ago and I am truly desperate. ?

CONGRATS!!!!!!

Bumping this thread one last time because I am that desperate. Can anyone tell me how you received your financial aid award from Simmons? And if you're comfortable, how much it was and your stats? I have yet to hear anything from them despite calling multiple times.

That's insane. I mean, they promised to get back to you this week, right? Idk how you keep from calling them every day...

Your wait has been truly absurd - almost four months, right?! Regardless, I'm so sorry.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but did anyone hear anything today?

I very well might.

Gotcha. Well, maybe it just wasn't for me. I was also really depressed when I tried to volunteer with them so I'm sure that didn't help matters.

Two year clinical.

Wow, okay. And you were worried you wouldn’t get in? ? Sidebar: I volunteered with Crisis Text Line for a few months and really didn’t like it. I felt really restricted in the way that you have to respond to texters, it just felt very inorganic - I am curious to know if you had a similar experience at all?

Could I implore you to post some stats, if you're comfortable with that? Despite my best efforts I am panicking hardcore, lol.

No idea. You could call them and ask? I've been wanting to call but I only applied 2 1/2 weeks ago so I don't want to bother them yet. Are you advanced standing, btw?

Thank you! And congrats, if I haven't said it already!

Wow, very impressive! Thank you for responding.

I would like to confirm this as well.

Would anyone that was recently accepted mind sharing some stats?

Haha, so true. You’d definitely win that contest. ?

So happy for you @lanabeni, @patientlywaiting2!!! That must feel amazing! And thanks, @Chebrutta. I will definitely try some of those suggestions.

That's a really good point. It's out of my hands now, there's no point worrying about it nonstop. Does anyone have any tips to stop obsessing? (For real. I'm pitiful. Lol.)
