Mswstudent101 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Hi all! I know there are a lot of forums out there and everyone is posting about different schools. It seems like everyone is on a different step within the application process. I wanted to start a new forum for those applicants that have applied to Columbia and NYU (doesn’t matter where you are in the process) so we can have a more specific forum and can ask questions and give answers that pertain to these two schools! I will be visiting the city in a couple of weeks to make a decision... I have not received my financial aid from Columbia. NYU was on top of everything but their financial package is not as competitive as I hoped. Please let me know if you have any questions!! Good luck to everyone!
terrycherry Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 How much financial aid did NYU offer you? Perhaps it varies by program and department, but I was told that it was 28000 a year.

I also have been granted work study and a lottttttt in loans.... I’m going to wait and see what Columbia offers...
Shayshay1331 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Hi guys, I'm an international student and just got admitted to Columbia but there was no mention of financial aid. I was just wondering if this is normal or whether this means I won't be receiving any funding?
mferu Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Hi @Shayshay1331 The same happened to me. I received admission but no mentioning of any funding. I emailed them to ask about scholarship and they said that all their funding has already been used, so I guess I am just not receiving any, sadly. Which program did u apply to?

Hey @mferu, I did the same, emailed by department to verify and they said if I'd been a recipient I would have been notified in the acceptance letter. I'm on the MA in Human Rights Studies, what about you?
MSW-violetta Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Hi I have received my NYU acceptance, however, I am still waiting on Columbia. Does anyone know when the deadline is?
DC_COFFEE Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Received an acceptance letter from Columbia yesterday!! With the stipulation that I take some sort of pre-term Econ course (my undergrad Econ grades were pretty low so I get it). They said they would follow up on funding? Not sure if that means I was actually awarded anything. Anyone else accepted/receive any funding yesterday? Edited March 14, 2020 by DC_COFFEE

ahhhhh Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Hi! I applied to the latest deadline for CU because I have a field placement only in the spring. I wasn't aware that would put me at a disadvantage with financial aid. They aren't giving any to those who being accepted with the later deadline? I want to clarify!
Alinic Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Has anyone been waitlisted and later accepted? I found out that I was on the waitlist for Columbia today and it feels like a denial.
