Has anyone appealed & heard back at Columbia? Any tips?

No I applied feb 15th!

Got into Columbia yesterday!!! Been praying for this moment. ?

So proud of you ??

YALL. UGA just offered me a full ride assistantship and 12k stipend for living expenses. I literally could get my whole masters degree for $50. ?? but my dream school is Columbia. I really don’t know what to do.

I am! I applied for NYU feb 15th and heard back on the 27th. However, I’m still waiting on columbia, which is my top choice ? sent in my application on the 15th as well and was told I would get my notification last week of March/ first week of April. (Pre-virus). Still waiting and so nervous seeing everyone get their decisions! Also their phone # isn’t working so just super long waiting game here.

Congrats!!!

Hey! I’m from Atlanta and live here now so if you need any advice let me know

I applied on 2/15! Haven’t heard yet. My friend applied earlier and already heard back.

I’m UGA!! My friend who applied before me heard back already and I think someone in this thread who submitted their app feb 12th(?) heard back already? But I’m still waiting. I applied on Feb 15th.

Congratulations!!

Originally! I called to appeal because I didn’t know what their max was and he was basically like “you got the max we give out” and refused to give me instructions for appealing. I got my financial aid breakdown today (around 3 weeks later) and it was just tons of loans & a 3k work study!

I got into NYU on a 17k scholarship. The max they technically give out is 15k and that’s strictly based on application. He said they make a couple exceptions and will give out 17k and 20k ones rarely. It’s such an expensive school so I completely understand your dilemma!

When did you apply? I didn’t even realize it was spring break for them.

I just called Columbia to check on my application and their admissions line went straight to voicemail ? it’s 2PM on a Thursday. This wait is killing me! Especially now that I won’t be able to see any of the schools in person.

All I can say is.. I’m not paying this insane tuition for some of these universities without getting the full experience! For an online degree I might as well stay in state and get it at my local university lol. That’s atleast my opinion on it. No way I can pay 24k a semester to sit on a computer!

This helps so much- thank you! How is the financial aid offer vs tuition looking? They’re much more affordable than other universities and in-state but ?

Has anyone heard from Columbia recently? They’ve been quiet.

Omg I applied to UGA too! When did you submit your app? I submitted on the deadline and still haven’t even gotten my login for the results portal.

Update?? I saw on the other thread you chose Columbia!

God bless you!

How did you schedule your tour? Like through the social work school?

I did! They told me end of March/ early April. Praying that’s true because I’m making a trip up there first week of April, which is my spring break.

I’m so sorry. I know it must be mad frustrating to wait that long. I’ve only been waiting a month or less & I’m going stir-crazy. As far as what you mentioned in your essay- that is your truth!! Stand in it. You want a program who knows your strengths & can play on them to develop you as a social worker. If not them, I’m sure you’ll get accepted to another amazing school and be grateful it happened that way. ? sending you love!

General question!! Did everyone whose been accepted so far do an interview? Or are those on an as-needed basis?
