For those that got accepted into columbia MSW program, do you know when we will be getting our funding package?
On my portal it says awaiting official final transcript with no decision as of yet what does this mean?

I emailed Columbia and they said I'd hear back within two weeks. However three weeks ago they told me I would hear back in a week so take that as you will.
Wow they said we would get a decision by February

Still haven't heard back either. I also applied for advanced standing. Really hoping to hear back this week. They are the only program I haven't heard from yet and I'm ready to just start planning my future
Did they ask for your transcript lately?

I also applied for advanced standing. I think they are going to release decisions for all advanced standing applicants at the same time.

are you applying for advanced standing?

I applied priority for Columbia 12/1, Boston 1/5, and NYU 1/4.
Good luck to everyone!

Thank you for making this forum! It’s nice to see space to support each other during the application process.
I applied to eight schools and just heard back from the first yesterday! Accepted to Penn SP2 with a $22K scholarship. Waiting to hear from other schools and get financial aid info from Penn before deciding.
Anyone have any ideas when financial aid packages will come out?
That's great congratulations. Im interested in applying in those schools. If you dont mind sharing your stats and experiences.

Thank you for starting this !! I know I probably will not hear until mid February but I am constantly checking my email ? is anyone else nervous because they have heard absolutely nothing? I applied to UC Berkeley, NYU, Columbia, University of Michigan and University of Chicago. I attend Columbia right now for my MSW and I don’t know if that will hurt me.
Hi I am looking to attend Columbia for MSW do you know the gpa requirements and stats to get admitted? and when did you hear back from them?

Congrats on acceptances!! I also got into Columbia and Hunter and had the same dilemma. I was strongly considering going to Columbia because of the school’s prestige. I’m a first generation college student and I saw attending an Ivy League as a holy grail. Unfortunately, Columbia didn’t offer me a lot of scholarships. And for the two years, I would’ve taken over $80,000 loan and that’s excluding living expenses because I’m from New York City. So, if you are moving to NYC, you need to add those expenses to your loan. Personally, I didn’t feel comfortable signing up for a $80,000 loan. I even tried to reason with myself because I don’t have any student loans from undergraduate studies. Then, I thought about my personal goals like buying home and I knew that the loan will cause a big delay. The biggest reason why I chose to attend Hunter was because my salary from my first job out of the program will probably be less than the $80,000 loan that I would’ve taken out for Columbia.
I contacted a few recent graduates from Columbia. I found them on Instagram and messaged them to ask about their experience and about their opinion on the program price. I got a mixture of responses.
This is a very personal decision. You have to think about what makes you happy right now but also how this is going to effect future you.
I hope this helps. Sorry for the really long message.
Hi Congrats on your acceptances to Columbia and hunter is there any specific gpa they are looking for Columbia. I have a 3.78 and other outside activities.
