Hi Everyone!
This is my first post and I am super excited! I applied to PSU, BU, Columbia, and was about to submit for DU when I found out I was accepted at BU! it was my top choice and I had a week to accept admission (which I did and I'm excited) but didn't have a chance to see where else I may have been accepted or fin aid options. I feel like generally there is a lot less funding for online students generally so fin aid probably wouldn't have made a huge difference. Also BU doesn't have any scholarships for online students. My employer has a program of upto 15k tuition reimbursement if selected but you can't be receiving any kind of scholarships, only loans. It might work out perfectly, fingers crossed I get approved! Timing might be in my favor as they have a hard time recruiting MSWs and LCSWs here and the one in our department is leaving soon. (We're a smaller rural nonprofit hospital)
Im still waiting on responses from
Columbia online reduced residency (applied 2/8)
Portland state online (1/5)
Are there any other online MSW students that want to share their experience or are starting soon??
