  1. Anyone have advice on where to live for Columbia School of Social Work?
  2. I am 99.9% sure that I am attending Columbia MSW program this fall. Anyone else accepted and planning to attend? Wanted to start a thread and meet everyone! Congrats all!
  3. Just heard from Columbia!!!! I got in, also, no word on funding yet like @eMSW21 said. CONGRATS to all! I will most likely commit to CSSW!
  4. I'm getting frustrated about Columbia - I applied back in Dec. I know patience is key here, but I am assuming I'm going to get rejected. Womp womp.
  5. I emailed TC Columbia University about the timeline for decisions, they said that by the end of THIS WEEK (March 20), applicants will know if they were accepted or not.
  6. Anything from Columbia SSW? My LOR said she received her acceptance from them feb 10 a few years back. So dang nervous.
  7. I don't see it in my inbox, are you sure you sent it?
  8. Hey! 5.5 here. I practiced a LOT of writing. I would search prompts, and just write, write, write. Look at ETS writing prompts online, they provide them and it's extremely helpful to see the set up. You can't just read the GRE books, if that worked, everyone would get high score. Actively study is what's best. I have a strong background in writing, so I walked in with confidence - this is half of it. But I also utilized a method I found online when searching how to receive the best score. The idea for the writing is this formula ( note: I did not come up with it). RICE: restate the main argument, identify the assumptions, *correct* the assumptions, examples/counterexamples for each point made. Seriously, this helped a lot. I raised my score from a 5 -> 5.5 with this method. It's important that you find what works for YOU. I read countless posts online about what others did, but my brain couldn't hold onto them. Once finding this RICE method, I was set. DM me if you have any other questions!
  9. What are your stats for Wake? Asking as I applied this year Thanks!
  10. Hear, hear! Love that you've found what works for you. I know this will be a helpful post others can refer back to if they are having a tough time... Which, mind you, totally understandable when applying to graduate programs (plus our little friend, COVID-19). I think people downplay how even 30 minutes of movement per day benefits our mental health so much. As well as, reaching out for help! There's a lot of stigma attached to struggling with mental health, and *gasp*, not being perfect. Talking about what we go through, if comfortable, breaks that shame/guilt cycle that keeps people stuck for years. Thanks for sharing your experience!
  11. Is that how one usually finds roommates? Via Facebook? I'm worried I'm going to get a weird roommate or something, lol. I'm not one who usually cares, but I feel like New York comes with many eclectic people.
  12. Nope!! There was one result that someone had been accepted yet I'm not sure if I trust it. Also, if/once accepted, where do people plan on living?
  13. *if* I end up in New York for the 2021 Fall, would anyone be interested in renting with me, or even just help look together for safe/quality apartments in the city? I guess it depends if I end up at Columbia or NYU. Let me know! We can definitely chat first too, so we can check if itll be a good fit. FYI I have cats, they're so friendly and sweet.
