    I emailed and informed them that my circumstances have changed and I have to rescind from the program. You can also state your reason. I made mine brief and they were understanding.

    Have you paid your deposit for either schools yet? I chose NYU because their program is clinically focused and it was a bit cheaper. Columbia actually gave me more scholarship but the cost would've still been more than NYU. I would go with NYU since they offered you 30k. Both schools have similar field placements and curriculum. The biggest difference is Columbia offers tracks. Try talking to some current students/alums from both schools!

    Hi! I've decided to attend UCLA and I messaged you with a few questions!
  4. MSW_2021
    I'm still going back and forth between NYU and UCLA but I think I'm leaning more towards UCLA since I'm from CA and it just makes more sense financially. Sorry for all the questions, so you received the field placement survey 2 weeks after you submitted your deposit? Do you know when class registration begins? Thank you!
  5. MSW_2021
    I have not gotten that survey yet because I just got off the waitlist and I haven't sent in my SIR yet. How long did it take for them to send you the field placement survey?

    Should I tell them I'll be attending another school and go into detail why or just say that my circumstances have changed?
  7. MSW_2021
    I think there's a big chance I'll be attending UCLA instead. Do you think NYU will be ok with that? I'm really worried about any possible repercussions.

    Should I go into details and tell them which school I'll be attending or keep it short and just mention that my circumstances have changed with finances being the main reason?

    I know I won't be getting my deposit back and I'm fine with that. I committed to NYU and filled out the field placement form as well but I'm thinking of switching to UCLA (I was originally waitlisted but now offered a spot). Do you think I'll be burning bridges by telling NYU that I won't be attending anymore? One of the main reasons is cost tbh since I'm from CA and UCLA would be significantly cheaper. I didn't expect to get off the waitlist at all. I doubt I'll apply to NYU in the future but I just feel kind of bad.

    Hey everyone! Has anyone paid their deposit and committed to a school and then changed their mind? How did you go about informing the other school that you're no longer attending?
  11. MSW_2021
    Hey! I was wondering if you knew anything about UCLA's field placement process? I attended one of their info sessions earlier on and also did some research. On their website, it says having a car is necessary for travel, do you know if that's mandatory? It seems like there's a interview process for 2nd year placements, do you know if we're guaranteed placements? I've been wanting to talk to a UCLA MSW student or alum but they don't seem to have anything on the website that connects you to one.

    NYU mentioned that they're planning for in-person or hybrid but aren't 100% sure yet. UCLA's email mentions they expect to return to more in-person learning as well and we'll be updated. I think it's still up in the air for most schools. I have until the 30th to respond to UCLA so I'll think about it a bit more. I'm also not sure how I'll go about telling NYU that I won't be attending if I eventually change my mind and go with UCLA since I've already paid the deposit and even turned in my field placement form.

    I wouldn't say I'm in a position where I don't have to take out any loans and is completely without financial worries. I will have to take out some loans (regardless of the school) but most likely won't be the full tuition amount. I also don't have any undergraduate debt so I'm ok with taking out some loans. UCLA is definitely more affordable since I'm a CA resident. I think deep down my heart says NYU because I love NY and it has always been a dream of mine to live there so I feel like this is my chance. I've also done a lot of research on NYU and talked to MSW students there and I feel like their program really aligns with what I want to do. At the same time, UCLA is a great school and I'll probably have better connections for CA jobs.

    Thanks for all the info! Was UCLA your top choice? I was so set on going to NYU and even paid my $300 deposit because I didn't expect to get off UCLA's waitlist. I'm a CA resident so attending UCLA would be a bit more affordable tuition wise but NYU also gave me 15k scholarship per year.
  15. MSW_2021
    Yes, I'm a CA resident! I'm kind of debating my decision now about NYU.
  16. MSW_2021
    I was waitlisted to UCLA but they notified me today that I got accepted! I've already committed to NYU though. Both were my top schools and now I'm kind of wavering! Did anyone here get any financial aid and scholarships from UCLA?
  17. MSW_2021
    I just committed to NYU yesterday! I decided to go with NYU over Columbia. I was wondering whether you submitted your field placement form for NYU yet? I haven't been able to because it says the website is down for maintenance?
  18. MSW_2021
    Has anyone here committed to NYU?
  19. MSW_2021
    I did get paired up with a NYU Silver Champion! She had positive feedback for NYU and was deciding between USC or NYU. I'm from CA Bay Area and I always wanted to live in NY. I actually got into USC as well. I talked to a USC student and admissions counselor and after doing more research, felt like it wasn't the best fit for me. They also gave me the least aid so I told them I won't be attending a few days ago.

    I got a rejection email from SFSU as well. Good luck to everyone else!

    I also heard NYU is more clinically focused which is why I'm drawn to it. I know Columbia also has a clinical concentration but it seems they're more known for macro and policy. I feel like I might get better clinical training at NYU. Are you going to NYU?
  22. MSW_2021
    I was accepted into both NYU and Columbia and having a hard time deciding where to attend. Anyone here in the same situation and has already committed to either of the schools? If so, why did you pick one over the other?
  23. MSW_2021
    Has anyone tried appealing for more scholarship from NYU? What is the process like?
  24. MSW_2021
    Has anyone gotten their financial aid package from Columbia? I got mine today and they're giving 20k per year in scholarship. Does anyone know the max amount of scholarship they give out?
  25. MSW_2021
    Finally heard back from Columbia today! I got in! (Applied 12/1)
