yeah it's such a hard decision! good luck with the rest of the weekend!!

@madisonc7 wait we weren't observing the same class were we???

hey y'all so I took a visit to both columbia and nyu recently. I went in with a fairly strong preference toward nyu (because clinical!) but the visit made me flip toward columbia. Feel free to pm me if you want details but generally I think visits during the week (if you can) is a great idea since they have very different vibes

I'm still waiting for my aid package from columbia so not sure yet. I want to do micro and not research so I think NYU is probably a better fit but we'll see!

good luck good luck!

thanks thanks! Not sure about the formal events yet but I'm going to at least go up for a couple of days to visit both

ya'll columbia just finally came through and we in! did anybody get money info in the initial letter or do they come separately?

Hey vent away and sorry you're going through all the medical stuff on top of school and applications, that's a hell of a lot to deal with. I feel pretty comfortable saying that you've got the support of everyone here and you are clearly working really hard, so keep on keeping, you've got this. Also CU is really messing with people right now (whether they meant to or not!) so I hope they issue an apology for how this process has gone.

I applied but haven't heard anything yet

oof thanks for checking with them

meee too! fingers crossed

Check the letter! Sometimes if the portal knows that we've seen an update we don't get the autoemail (and those emails usually just say there's an update so go check the portal lol). But since they're asking for final transcript I'd bet money it's going to be a happy letter

Ya I did! I went to check wolverine to see if there was any aid update but still nada ?‍♀️ I've heard about at least some aid from every other school so UM is sitting at the bottom of my list right now but hopefully they'll send out info soon

hey ya'll quick question. for those of you planning on attending schools outside of mass-transit-heavy cities, do you all have cars? plan on buying one? I ditched my car a couple of years ago since didn't need it in the city and now i'm thinking with field placements that could be an issue unless I end up in NYC...

nothing yet...the person who called me a couple weeks back said they'd probably send something by mid-march but would be super if they could send things out sooner! same same! fingers crossed ya'll

?

i'm hawkeyeing my email until 6 pm mountain time before i give up until tomorrow ?

Welp, good to know. Hope it's a good news saturday for y'all

me too ?

lols but for real though

ya i'm getting super antsy over here. fingers crossed for tomorrow! or sat? you think they'd release on the weekend?

aw snap i hate email sometimes...that was definitely the wrong email at 5 lol. hopefully all is well and false alarm! also if it makes you feel any better i'm also still waiting on columbia, seems so random at this point

I'm in dc, also in int development but on the econ/policy side and looking to switch away from that and into micro. understandable about living abroad with a spouse here, that sounds so tough! but welcome back stateside it's great you got to visit campus! that classroom sounds like an amazing setup for practicing and observing but also slightly nervewracking haha. i'm hoping i'll get to visit a school or two before i decide where to go but who knows with the timing of decisions and all. are you trying to stay in the denver area?

high five to the 30 somethings returning to school again From what i gather it seems like professional/life experience counts for a LOT while applying to msw programs (esp for those of us so far out of school) so keeping all the fingers crossed for you

gah hopefully we all hear friday ?
