Hi all-
I have been following this forum for a long time so very excited to post! I am 25, originally from NYC/NJ, currently living in San Diego, CA working in biopharmaceutical advertising. I did AmeriCorps right after I graduated from college and served as a high school English teacher in the South Bronx. I also worked all throughout high school and college as a camp counselor. I am so excited to be (hopefully) returning to the field of social justice. I hope to concentrate in Children and Families with a Clinical pathway (based on what the programs I apply to are offering).
I applied to Columbia on November 29th and received an email today encouraging me to apply to a fellowship. I am wondering if anybody else who applied has received something like this? Just curious if it means anything...it involved education, which I clearly expressed interest in in my application, but is more global whereas I am hoping to serve within NYC.
Just for kicks, here are the schools I am applying to:
Columbia- Applied November 29th for ED
Boston U- Applying by Jan 10 for ED
NYU- Applying by Jan 10 for ED
Hunter- Applying by Feb 1 for ED
UT Austin- Applying by Jan 15th (regular deadline)
Michigan - Applying by March 1 for ED
I am also considering Rutgers ?
Thanks and good luck to all!
