I'm finishing up the Simmons MSW program in May -- happy to answer any questions!

Still waiting on Fordham as well, but I got into NYU, Columbia and Lesley so far so I feel good about my options.

Brandeis! But I'm an alum, so I'm biased. There is lots of off-campus housing in Waltham (where the school is located) and the cost of living really isn't bad.

Congrats! Email or snail mail?

That's a great idea, thanks. Maybe I'm Facebook illiterate, but I can't figure out how to search for people by school/program. Have you heard from Columbia yet?

Nikkimanni - finally someone else who applied to Lesley! Was your interview last Monday, by any chance? =) I was at that one and still no word. So frustrating.

Oops! I meant the Ed.M program, not the MA program. We applied to the same one - thanks for the info! I got my decision via email on Monday. I grew up in Manhattan, so am very familiar with the city itself, luckily... Aside from the multicultural-ness of the program, has your friend said what aspects of the program she likes/dislikes? I'm so curious...!

I just got accepted into this program and have yet to hear about fin aid... but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything (good, bad, ugly) about this program. I live in another state and have not been able to visit or talk to anyone from the school yet, so I don't have a good sense of the program, other than what I've seen on the website. Any info is much appreciated!

I just got into the Ed.M Psychological Counseling program... anyone else? When do the aid letters typically come?

I think they are desperate... I got an acceptance letter like two weeks after I applied! What are your top choices?

Hey eleri, Honestly, I wasn't impressed with Suffolk when I went to their open house/info session, and I applied there as a safety. The student rep who was there was pretty candid about the fact that the department didn't help much with finding internships. I don't know... I just got a negative vibe overall. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Ahh, Hawaii would be amazing! Why didn't I think of that?? My places are Northeastern (rej), Lesley (interview), Suffolk (accepted), Fordham, NYU, Columbia, Hunter

Nice, same as me. I've heard the city colleges are slow. Where else did you apply, if you don't mind me asking?

Tick tock, indeed... which programs are you applying to?

That seems like an eternity!
