    Hi!

    I've just been accepted to NYU for Journalism, magazine and digital storytelling concentration, for fall 2020. Anyone else accepted and/or planning on attending?

    Still waiting to hear back from Columbia but NYU has actually always been my first choice!

    What about it makes it your first choice, out of curiosity?

    No funding as well. Did anyone else decide to enroll with no funding? I enrolled to potentially increase my chances of aid, but I am still hesitating on committing to my decision...

    How would this increase your chances of aid?

    What made you choose Columbia? I got a partial scholarship to Columbia and Northwestern and northing at CUNY. But CUNY open house was worlds better than Columbia so it's making me want to choose them. Still trying to decide.

    What makes you say it was worlds better than the Columbia open house? 

  4. My appeal was rejected but I also didn’t receive any funding in the first place and received a generic email back about no more first year funding being available, which is a bit frustrating since they hardly even read my email. 

    I know it was generic because I’m doing a dual degree and thus won’t be eligible for the second year funding (part of my appeal) but in their response they mentioned the second year funding opportunities. 

  5. Yes this makes sense. I didn't receive any funding so they're probably less in need of hearing back from me since I don't effect their accounting numbers as much. I'm looking to be a dual-degree student with another school at Columbia (who offered me a generous scholarship) so I will only be at SIPA for the first year, and I am hoping to use my ineligibility for any second year funding (which they love to tout) and my current scholarship offer from the other school at Columbia (which is only eligible if I enroll this fall at that program) as the 'leverage.' So we'll see what happens. 

    Hopefully they'll have some more cash free'd up by next week and will be feeling generous. And thanks for your responses!

    Yes, the deadline for funding appeals was 5 p.m. Friday :(

    It wasn't really publicized; you had to take initiative in emailing them, and then they replied with a form to fill out. I'm kicking myself for not asking for more money because they gave me close to what I requested. Honestly didn't expect anything because I didn't even have a competing offer to leverage.

    I guess you can still try emailing them. With the April 15 deadline approaching, they'll probably have some extra money freed up.

    Yeah, as long as they read it by Monday maybe they'll have some leeway. 

    What is the April 15 Deadline you're referring to? I've heard someone else mention that as their deadline whereas on my admission letter they merely said I have to respond and deposit to secure my place by May 1st. I'm an MIA admit FWIW> 

  7. I don't know much about those since I only applied to Columbia and it's dual-degree offering. But as far as I know it's a shorter program (1 year vs. 2 years) and far and away has the most cache/prestige. So if you got a full ride to what would seem like the already best choice then I would think it's a clear decision! So I'm curious what makes you feel better at CUNY and what you prefer about NYU's program? Not trying to say you should do Columbia over those by any means just wonder what you like about them since clearly they have you interested.

    I'm also in!!!! Congrats!! I have no idea where I'm going, CUNY and NYU also said yes...

    Any reason besides money you'd choose CUNY or NYU? Those other programs are 2 years aren't they?

  9. Got my decision, I'm in! Thrilled to be accepted into this and SIPA so looks like I'll be doing the dual-degree program (if anyone who has done the dual-degree is reading this I'd love to ask If you some questions). 

  10. Surely they have to be coming out today? I’m surprised they weren’t out on Friday (Years past seem to be on the Friday of the week it’s ‘mid march’ Which would’ve been last week).
