Taycarts Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Hey Everyone! I have been silently watching this page to see when decisions were coming out lol. Just thought I'd share that I received an acceptance from Columbia for their traditional 2-year program yesterday around 5:30pm EST. I applied on 2/02 but they received everything on 2/20. I am also non-priority. So it was exactly one month from when they received my application that I got notified. Hope this helped a little! Good luck everyone see you in the Fall!

YC40 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Hi there! Any career switchers on this thread (i.e. transitioning from an unrelated field to SW)? Hope everyone's staying warm!
doctormelody Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Hey guys! Just thought I'd let you know that I received a very nice email from the Office of Admissions just now saying that my application is currently in the review process and that they hope to have decisions released around the beginning of April!

doctormelody Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I guess they must have closed sometime this afternoon. Ah well. I wasn’t expecting a decision today, anyway. I really hope all of you priority applicants hear back soon, though! The lady that emailed me back didn’t specify whether they were still going through priority applications or not, but I think she meant that everyone would hear back by the beginning of April. So hopefully it will be sooner than that for those that applied earlier. Edited March 21, 2018 by doctormelody
doctormelody Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I just checked the website and they’re open today! Here’s hoping! Kat_MSW2018 1

Thank you for the encouragement; I definitely plan to reapply to MSW programs if this year doesn't work out like I had hoped. I just need to get some more experience! What are your stats! I'm sure they're great.

I have a 3.5 GPA in an unrelated major, graduated in 2015. I took some classes in Psychology and Sociology at my local community college, but I had to pay out of pocket for those so it was only 6 credits over two years. I volunteered at Crisis Text Line for a few months but couldn't really get into it/didn't feel like I was helping people much. I also volunteered with my local Habitat for Humanity for six months, but as a receptionist, so I didn't get much experience working with clients. While I was at NYU I was a Peer Educator for the LGBTQ student center for a year, so I incorporated that into my essays. I think my recommendations were good, but my statement of purpose definitely could have been stronger - the apps for Columbia and BU were due the day after my grandpa's funeral and I was pretty busy with family matters that week so I'm not sure I put my best foot forward.
