jschool2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi! Have people heard back yet? I am waiting to hear back from NYU, Columbia, and CUNY...Ugh. Nervous but hopeful!!! It seems like Columbia released M.A. and Data Science, and that it will reveal M.S. decisions tomorrow...no clue on CUNY/NYU. Anyone know ab the other two?

jbc17 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Surely they have to be coming out today? I’m surprised they weren’t out on Friday (Years past seem to be on the Friday of the week it’s ‘mid march’ Which would’ve been last week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschool2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Hi! I called Columbia and they said they were sending them out between today and tomorrow. Have you heard back?

jbc17 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Got my decision, I'm in! Thrilled to be accepted into this and SIPA so looks like I'll be doing the dual-degree program (if anyone who has done the dual-degree is reading this I'd love to ask If you some questions).

Any reason besides money you'd choose CUNY or NYU? Those other programs are 2 years aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschool2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 I just got a full ride to Columbia!!! OMG...so this is gonna be SUCH a hard choice. I feel better at CUNY(whcih offered me a 20k scholarship) in terms of gut feeling, but Columbia is hard to turn down. I also really like NYU's program and feel.

jbc17 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I don't know much about those since I only applied to Columbia and it's dual-degree offering. But as far as I know it's a shorter program (1 year vs. 2 years) and far and away has the most cache/prestige. So if you got a full ride to what would seem like the already best choice then I would think it's a clear decision! So I'm curious what makes you feel better at CUNY and what you prefer about NYU's program? Not trying to say you should do Columbia over those by any means just wonder what you like about them since clearly they have you interested.

jschool2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 CUNY has a very comparable program to Columbia. It's arguably just as good, as is the quality of the students...the education is great, and the career outcomes are similar. I'm thinking more in terms of fit and terms of comfort. For now, there seems to be more pros towards CUNY personally. But Columbia is so hard to turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschool20 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Accepted by both CUNY and Columbia...deciding is proving to be a real nightmare. Any tips on how to make my decision? No aid at Columbia, so CUNY seems much more viable considering I won't be making much right outta school. But ugh...HOW do you refuse an Ivy League? I have only visited Columbia's campus, and obviously its tempting..but again, the dilemma is real! Edited March 20, 2019 by jschool20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschool2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 I have aid at Columbia, and I'm having a hard time deciding. Don't discard CUNY - it's a GOOD program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageHenri Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Columbia is my alma mater, and I know a faculty member at their J School as well. They told me straight up that if it is between Columbia without aid or CUNY, they would pick CUNY. He spoke very highly about their facilities as well.

What about between CUNY without aid and Columbia with enough aid to make it slightly cheaper option than CUNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
