Hi! First off, congrats on your admission! I appealed the amount of aid I received and was given $1,000 more per year in my scholarship and $3,000 in work study funding. Not a lot, but enough to make the cost comparable to other programs where I was admitted. Here is the link I was given to appeal: https://apply.ssw.columbia.edu/register/aid_appeal_21_22 Feel free to message me if you have any other questions!

It took about a week I think for them to send me the scholarship amount I received!
-
I did get in! I received my email at 8:15 MST. I wasn't expecting to hear so late either so was really taken by surprise when I saw the email. Hopefully you both hear back soon with good news!

Just wanted to say that I heard back from UC Berkeley tonight for anyone else who applied there!

Has anyone accepted an offer yet?

I'm hoping it will be today at 5 since they said we'll hear back by the 15th at the latest. Fingers crossed!

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, when did you apply?
-
This is a great idea, thank you!
-
That's what I was thinking too! I need to tell Columbia my decision by the 16th and am waiting on UChicago to decide so I'm getting a bit stressed
-
Yay, thank you so much for letting us know!
-
Same, I'm anxiously waiting to hear from UChicago so I was wondering the same thing! They said that if you applied by December 1 they'll get back to you before Feb 15, so I'm hoping we should hear back soon.

This was so helpful, thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what made you decide to go to Columbia? The program looks amazing but I'm just so worried about the cost of living.

I chose the On Campus Advanced Clinical Social Work Concentration with the Family, Youth and Children's Services field of practice!

Congrats to both of you! I also received my letter of acceptance to Columbia last week! Is anyone else a bit stressed about the time frame they gave to respond? They asked me to respond by Feb 16, and I I feel like I won't have heard back from the other schools I'm waiting on by then. Also, on their website it says they only get info from FAFSA for financial aid packages on Feb 15, so am I misunderstanding something? Congrats again!

I know for me, I wrote it as a mix of both but leaning more towards a statement of purpose!

Is anyone else having a hard time with the SoP and Personal History Statements? I feel like I'm getting so bogged down in the details and it is so overwhelming! I am working on my final one for the Dec 1 deadline and feel more stressed than anything else.
