Hi! I just had my interview today for the OYR program. Is anyone else doing this track? If so can anyone share a class schedule? Or the cost of attendance including fees?

Anyone still waiting on financial aid decisions from Columbia? Particularly interested in hearing from anyone doing the reduced residency and getting the 50% fee discount ...

Eeep yes I sure hope so! I’ll let you know. Congrats on getting the 50% discount! Did you receive any further financial aid from the school? Want to connect? It would be good to have some RR buddies. We may end up in some classes together.

I agree. I got into the reduced residency which hopefully means (not yet confirmed) that I will get a 50% fee reduction. That’s the only way I could see myself able to attend Columbia. Also so still in shock that they accepted me!

Thank youuuuuu!

I got in I think, I mean I feel like it’s a hoax lol

I honestly think that they forgot about me. I was in touch with Dean Lovaglio until early this year and he was super helpful. Then I emailed him to let him know that I had submitted and he never responded, despite going out of his way to respond before. Also he never turned up to the info session I went to. Did he resign?

Any news?

Wahoo!!! Congrats! Good luck with everything!!!

Don't worry, that's good news ... I've still not heard anything

Any news?

Ugh it's sooooo crazy

I already work in the field of SW and I can easily say that I have done physical labor frequently, e.g. carrying crazy-heavy tables across the street because my agency is not very forward thinking (I'm 5ft tall and contain zero muscle) all in a days work!

I think they are waiting on responses too. Also, after I told Fordham that I was waiting on other schools/financial aid, they extended the deadline for me to April 20th so perhaps they know something that we don't? April 15th would be great ... it's so close!
