i am currently finishing up my 2nd year of the msw program at columbia. i heard back on february 26 via email when i was accepted. i highly advise AGAINST this program for a variety of reasons, but one of them is the high cost. is it worth it? maybe if you're planning on staying in nyc. otherwise, i don't think so. because they accept so many students, the relationship with faculty is poor. also, there is only ONE advisor for all 800 students. the internship opportunities are great, but we work alongside hunter, nyu, and fordham students. bottom line: not worth it at all.
