I literally cannot wait to get back into the stuff I am interested in again. I honestly thought about transferring out halfway through to a BSW program, but I am on a full-tuition academic scholarship at my school so I just stuck with it anyway. This last year, since I became certain I wanted to be MSW, has been rough for me to stay motivated in this major. Did you get an admissions decision yet or your still waiting? I haven’t gotten it yet but I only submitted my app on 2/15 so that isn’t surprising.
YC40 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, so I'm clear: residential, 2 year priority applicants (those who applied November-December 1) are still waiting for decisions? Jeez!! Edited March 9, 2018 by KS100

Just wanted to add my experience: I applied 11/27 and received my acceptance on 2/16, and as others have mentioned I have until 3/16 to respond. I contacted CSSW at the beginning of this week about financial aid & was told that I will have my financial aid information by 3/16 (still waiting though, lol) but regardless they gave me an extension until 4/3! Hi congrats on your acceptance!! Did you call or email the school to ask for the extension? Thank you for the information regarding financial aid. You and I both got accepted on 2/16, so hopefully I will also get an email by 3/16 regarding my aid.

I sent an email to cssw-admit@columbia.edu and they replied super fast, but I still haven't received my aid package.

I had majored in English because when I graduated with my associate's I thought that I wanted to pursue teaching as well, but the longer that I stayed in the field I decided that I never want to leave it. So here I am, getting my MSW in the Fall. LOL another English major here! But I’m a career-changer; I’ve been teaching for the last 13 years. MSW2018?? 1
doctormelody Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Is anyone else getting absurdly nervous about tomorrow/this week? My friend who is getting her MSW at Columbia right now is coming down to visit on Thursday and Friday, and I'm all paranoid I'm going to get notified that I was rejected while I'm hanging out with her, lol.

What program did you apply for? So funny. If I pursued tewching, I would definitely be in your shoes switching gears years from now!
abswk Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 @doctormelody aw it’ll be ok!!! I can imagine that being even more nerve wracking!! I’m also extremely worried. The drawn out waiting process is making me question myself. Praying for good answers this week! Maybe tomorrow will be the day.

I can imagine how waiting for months on end would do that. I hope you get good news very soon! abswk and MSW2018?? 2
JonoDuncan Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I was starting to doubt myself too, but then it finally came! Don't lose hope! They're getting through them slowly but surely. doctormelody and Kat_MSW2018 2

I don’t love being exhausted all the time, having to do most of my work after hours, never having time or energy to do volunteer work, and I especially don’t love the culture of testing. I make fewer connections with my students every year My stats are no where near as impressive as you guys - my mom had cancer when I was in undergrad, so I was driving home a lot and my GPA was less than amazing. I hope all these years in the work force can make up for that!

OliviaRose Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hi friends, Just dropping in to say that I'm still waiting (impatiently) to hear back. I applied 12/15 advanced standing, social enterprise/school-linked services. Good luck to the other hopefuls and congrats to those who have been accepted!

Sunset95 Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I'll be checking in around 6pm est to see if anyone heard anything today

Yeah, they should send some stuff out. Especially since it usually goes out between 5-6pm doctormelody 1
doctormelody Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Y'ALL. Okay, I just called, and the guy looked me up, and he said that it usually takes 8-10 weeks for a decision to come out... meaning I should expect to hear back the third week of April. I was not expecting that at all, but I guess that means that other people who applied on or around the 15th should expect to hear back then too? Wow. I really hope he was just erring on the side of caution...
