arcoventry - I know! UPENN gave me until April 15th to decide which I thought was good because it gave me over two months from hearing from them to hear from other schools before I had to pay them any money. NYU is $200 which is a lot of money to just throw away basically if you decide to attend another school. I sent an email to NYU asking if extensions are possible but have yet to hear back. rjose - I mean dont take my word as written in stone, that is just what someone in the program told me, and when I got my acceptance on Thursday, so did my friend and we applied over a month apart, so it lined up with what I had heard previously

NYU sent out their first letters of admission this past week. Once you receive the letter they give you two weeks to either accept or decline. After those two weeks I believe another wave of acceptance letters will be sent out depending how many people don't accept their offers of admission. A friend of mine in the program says that is how they did it his year and the year after him (2011 and 2010). One thing I don't like is how little time they give you to respond to their acceptance offer, I still wont hear from other schools in the time frame. But I guess it is NYU so they can do these kinds of things.

NYU has a strong clinical msw program. They have great internship opportunities, for clinical purposes even better than columbia internships. There is an admitted students day this thursday where you can go to the school and learn more about it. I applied because my advisor told me that it would be a good match school for me, and I live a half hour away so it would be an easy commute. The location of NYU is great! It is right in the village. Theres great shopping, restaurants, and right next to Silver School building there is a nice park, which are nice to come by in NYC. It is also a safe area.

missdanielle - it doesn't make a difference, I'm from NJ and I received the same scholarship in the letter from NYU! If you received a scholarship it is in the decision letter not a different one. Congrats!

I applied to all of my schools for MSW at the same time (first week in January). i have heard back on acceptances from UPENN & NYU, but I am still waiting to hear from USC and Columbia. NYU offered me a 10k scholarship each year, but I didn't receive any scholarship money from UPENN. Has anyone contacted their schools about financial help and have gotten results? My parents are helping me with tuiton, so I only have to pay half, and I have no undergrad loans (I am graduating in May). NYU I would live at home but UPENN I would live in Philly so it would be more expensive. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or resources about funding graduate school?
