HI everyone, Not related to admissions but I thought I would post this here since this thread is so popular. Can everyone sign this petition asking Columbia CSSW to use work study to pay for field placements? It takes 10 seconds. Even if you don't attend or are eligible for work study I think it's important because it addresses financial need and the equity issues that are inherent in social work. Also please DM me if you want to make a case to you social work school! I have a list of federal guidelines and evidence backed reasons for any school that received federal work study to make field placements paid by FWS. I encourage everyone to start this conversation wherever they matriculate because $40k+ in tuition and 1200 hours of unpaid labor is obscene but maybe we can change the standard across all social work schools. Thanks! http://chng.it/XhxfnC9Cqd

Just got into Columbia! I applied Dec 1st, no word on funding yet. I hope it comes soon in case I need to appeal. I have one decision due April 1st and 2 due the 15th.

Has anyone successfully appealed UPenn's financial aid? Was there a form to fill out or did you just email them? Were you successful and what was the turnaround time? I'm wondering if I have enough time to get a response before my decisions due on April 1st.

Columbia and BU Social Work Admissions Questions
eMSW21 replied to followingdreams's topic in Social Workers Forum
I doubt CSSW will get to you before March 12th. From my understanding, a lot of us who applied Dec 1st are still waiting for a decision and were told we'd get one "by March 1st" which is looking more like mid-March. I wouldn't say it's impossible though. I'd guess that they'd be eager to give out decisions to spectacular candidates who applied for the Feb deadline sooner rather than later. The best thing you can do is ask BU for an extension and just explain you're waiting on other schools. I can't speak to Columbia's financial aid since I still haven't gotten a decision back but I can say that saying a school is your top choice is typically not a compelling reason to increase financial aid. I think the most successful cases are a combination of outlining financial need and showcasing a considerably larger package from another school. -
Everyone who I know who has gone to Uchicago concentrated in social administration but the people I know who have gone to Columbia who have done clinical have loved it. Things I have heard have included attentive and supportive professors, creative experimental learning, and a great cohort. Also I have heard super positive experiences with field placements. I can't speak to SSA's clinical track but I know that some of the people I've spoken have said it's a tossup with field placement experience.

I got the call the last week of January and within two weeks a decision was posted on the portal which said that I would get an official letter soon.
