[Columbia MSW or NYU MSW??]

can you change from columbia to nyu still? because columbia keeps accepting more and more students (nearly 450 master's students last year) individual attention is extremely hard to come by. if you have any ideas about what you want out of the program, make sure to advocate for yourself because no one else will be willing to help you. if you're clinical track, you're probably fine and there are many good intern opportunities. however, if you are in the policy or social enterprise and admin track, this school is NOT ideal. upenn, uchicago, uw-seattle, nyu etc. are all much better.

Hi there,

Could you expand please on why you think the SEA/policy tracks are not ideal? there is conflicting feedback to that in this very thread so I'd just like more detail if you could. What makes NYU better?

As a general point though, if you (and by that I mean anyone) are hoping to go into non-profit advocacy, NGOs or social work and you find it taxing to advocate for attention in your own school which you are paying for, perhaps it might be worth rethinking your overall job expectations...
