MSWSTRESS

My school is still continuing with everything as normal it seems.. my field placement advisor reached out to me and we will start the proces next week. They haven't hinted or stated they won't be starting in the Fall but my friends and family keep asking if I will be starting in the Fall because of COVID and I am hoping it doesn't last that long and we will all be allowed to start in the Fall. I'm nervous about not being able to start but I am remaining hopeful that everything will go back to "normal " by the summer time.

If you don't mind sharing, how much additional funds did you request from Boston College . I'm definitely going to BC in the Fall and I submitted a scholarship Reconsideration and am waiting to hear back if they will give me any additional, I submitted it about two weeks ago, so I'm hoping they say something this week?

I completely agree !!! If everything is going the way it is until August/ September, (which I think is completely unlikely) I would rather just be deferred for a year than do online. I'm currently having to work remotely from home, as I'm sure most are, and I don't like it as much as I thought I would. So let's all hope that this virus slows down by then not only for everyone to get the experience we all worked for but for the health and safety of us all ! I'm very optimistic that things should return to "normal" by at least the end of April but let's all wait and see. Congrats to everyone and their acceptances! Stay safe !

I most definitely will ! I'm coming from out of state as well so I need all the help I can get !!

Omg thank you sooo much !! This is beyond helpful !!! I will definitely change it up some and hope for the best !! Best of luck to you !!!

Thank you sooo much!! If you don't mind me asking, how did you phrase asking for an appeal. I want to make sure I don't come off too harsh or anything like that lol I hope someone gets back to me because they closed down the school so I will definitely do it tomorrow and just hope for the best. I should have done it earlier?‍♀️ but thank you soo much !

Was there a certain person you submitted it to or did you just contact student services? I already mailed off my supplemental information form and I don't know if I should wait and see what my financial aid package looks like before asking for more money or just do it from now ?

Not a problem! I'm going to try and mail it off this week, I already did my field education application too lol

Congratulations!!!!! You're going to do amazing !!!!

Yup here is the link, for the student services website and it will say 'Complete Supplemental Information Form' and there will be a link for the PDF form , print it out, complete it and mail it to the address on the form https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/offices/student-services/financial-aid/graduate/applying-for-aid.html

Oh sorry I was referring to BC, I should have been more clear about that?‍♀️ when you had mentioned financial aid coming out next month I was thinking about BC, sorry !

Sorry I didn't get back earlier but yes its for BC, when I went to admitted students day and I spoke to the financial advisor they said to submit it in order to see how much more aid you would require. It asks you to list other scholarships and outside aid, including any scholarships you received from the School of Social Work

Do you happen to know the deadline the Supplemental Form for financial aid is due ? I'm going to do it sometime within this week, I just hope I didn't miss the deadline.

I don't think so.... I'll check my spam folder.

Same !! On Wednesday, they said we should be getting the invitation to do the field placement application or just go on the field education portion of BC website and complete it that way as well.

Congratulations!! Which track are you on ?

That's great !! You're clinical as well ? I started looking through the field placement options last night and I'm nervous but excited to actually get started ! I love how structured they are, it eases alot of stress !!

Did you do the tour too ??! What did you think about the program? Sorry about the questions lol I love the program even more after hearing everything yesterday lol

I went ! Of course I am seeing this the day after lol

I declined my offer to BU yesterday, so I hope that just brings you even further up the waitlist ! Good luck, you got this !!

Thank you soo much !! Best of luck to you as well !

Most definitely will do that now, thanks !!!

I am officially offically going to BC this Fall!!! I just submitted my deposit and my response form!! And I am so looking forward to meeting everyone who will be attending BC in the Fall too ! I am the first in my family to have went to college let alone get a master's and then the only one in my friend group currently pursuing a master's. This forum has helped me sooo much with my anxiety about this whole process lol it felt good to know other people were going through the same things as me when no one near me was and you are all sooo amazing !! I wish I found this forum earlier when I first started going through the application process, but I am glad I found it when I did ,everyone here is going to do such amazing things in this world and congratulations to everyone who has heard back from their schools and made their decisions and the absolute best of luck to everyone that is still waiting to hear back, you got this !!!

I was just going to ask the same question lol I'm submitting my deposit for BC like right now and would love to know if I can get some more money !

Exactly ! I don't want to do all of that and nothing changes, my hopes of a full ride scholarship have completely vanished now? my decision just got even easier lol
