I didn't apply before the priority deadline so I'm thrilled to be hearing back so soon. Hopefully you all hear back soon as well. Congrats!! When did you submit? You must be a great candidate. Also, welp. Columbia was a fun dream but it’s too expensive for me anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted on 1/6. My final LOR was submitted 1/10, and I got the "Your Application is Complete" email on 1/26. @lost686girl I agree, it's very expensive. I'll have to wait and see what kind of aid they can offer me. I'm just glad the waiting is over. doctormelody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooExcited&Nervous Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 For those who are still waiting but absolutely want to live in NY. Fordham is still accepting applications. honeynut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctormelody Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 This is just so odd. I have a friend who is currently attending, and she received her acceptance last year less than two weeks after applying in early February. At the same time, I don't feel like I have enough information to be able to tell if this is unusual for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeynut Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 On another Columbia thread someone mentioned they were emailed about being put on waitlist. From the ways things are going, seems like I should start a rejection support group. ? who has coping tips lol Kat_MSW2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanabeni Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) Does the update on the portal appear on the first page after you login or does it appear after you actually go to your application? Curious where it is. Edited March 5, 2018 by lanabeni doctormelody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious where it is. The update appears after you open up your application, right at the top (it will say "status update" with information and the date the update was posted. I was wait-listed today for the two year program! I finished my application on 2/14. o___livia and doctormelody 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunset95 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 So I guess it's safe to assume since they've started admitting non-priority applicants that I should be expecting a rejection. I just wish they would say something instead of dragging it out and pretending there's some big holdup; that way I could pick which school I want to attend.

We have no idea how sending out acceptances works, what rejections look like, and if there is a process to how they send things out. You could always call, state this, and report back to us Edited March 6, 2018 by lanabeni Kat_MSW2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbia is(was?) my first choice because I really love the emphasis on policy, which is the arena I want to get into, and I want to be in New York. After that, the other two are tied. I'm torn between Penn's program and being in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would be an easy move after school if you decide to go to Penn. I have a friend that is in Columbia's MSW program (advanced standing) and she tells me she wishes she would have gone to NYU instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
