Congrats to you as well! Thanks, you as well! If you are ready to accept from BC, congratulations! I am kind of envious because you will be more certain about your future plans. I asked and was given an extension from BC admissions before I decide on their offer, so I could wait to hear admissions decisions from other schools I applied to. BU is my top choice, so I do really want to wait hear from them before committing to a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socialwork342 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi congratulations to all thus far! Quick question that may seem a bit dumb, but to those who have heard back from schools how did you receive word?(and for which school(s) if you don't mind.) I imagine through email, but I have seen in past forums from school's websites/through individual custom links. I just am curious. I know it also probably depends school to school, but I am just wondering and impatient. Also what time of day? steste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to check my portal and it said like “awaiting official transcripts from __”. So I thought maybe I never sent my transcripts and then I remebered they only ask for official once you are accepted. So I refreshed the page and a status update popped up. I then received an email about 3 hours later, so around 8pm EST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeJuice14 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) @MSWCY Of course, and thank you so much! I applied on January 5th. They emailed saying there was an update to my portal, and I saw the admissions decision there. A couple days later they sent an email saying congrats on getting accepted etc. If it makes a difference, I applied as a full time on campus student. Good luck to you!

I sent my application on December 28th I believe and they emailed me on January 5th saying my application is complete. I'm thinking that I didn't get in now... @OrangeJuice14 When did you hear back from NYU if I may ask? I heard they're pretty fast with sending acceptances.

Yes I was shocked with the quick turn around. I heard back on the 13th. I wouldn't be too worried, after reading through forum's from past years it seems like its a mixed bag on when admissions decisions are sent out. I totally feel your eagerness though, but try not to stress, I'm sure you'll hear back this week. Also, for what it's worth, I know a lot of admissions offices were closed during the holidays, so I'm sure applications sent in between Dec 23- Jan 4 are lumped in with the batch sent in early Jan. Good luck I hope you hear good news soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone else a bit stressed about the time frame they gave to respond? They asked me to respond by Feb 16, and I I feel like I won't have heard back from the other schools I'm waiting on by then. Also, on their website it says they only get info from FAFSA for financial aid packages on Feb 15, so am I misunderstanding something? Congrats again!

Elizabeth Boylan Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I am also super stressed about the Feb 16th deadline and really hope I hear back from other programs before then! I also emailed the financial aid office and the award package is supposed to be in within 2 weeks so hopefully that will lower the cost. I know the answers are somewhere on here... but is the cost worth it? I am extremely stressed about the high cost of CSSW but I am hoping that the networking, internships and reputation will help. Im planning on moving out west after getting my MSW degree and I'm thinking the Columbia name will help me get my foot in the door. My sister goes to Princeton for undergrad right now and she has amazing opportunities and has incredible, talented and top-in-in-their field professors (so has great chances to network) so I'm hoping Columbia would be the same?

MSW_2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 @sonalikm @Elizabeth Boylan Congrats on getting accepted into Columbia! If you don't mind sharing, when did you guys submit your applications? I submitted mine on December 1st and still waiting to hear back so I'm wondering about the timeline.

MCSW23 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Just popping in again to say that I applied to priority deadlines with Columbia on Dec. 1 and didn't receive my acceptance until like March 5th. I was freaked out for many-a-months thinking it meant I was like shadow waitlisted. The reality is, they get to everyone's applications at different rates so be patient. I called their office probably 4 times making sure I didn’t miss anything, too, because last year they accidentally allowed all of us access to the admitted students seminar scheduling. Talk about false hope. UPenn responded the fastest by far, offering me admission the day after my interview. UWashington got back to me in like mid-April after I'd already accepted CU's offer. Every other program took on average 3-5 weeks I'd say. I went totally insane waiting, but most schools update around 5pm their time on weekdays, so I paid specific attention at that time and it rarely yielded results. Try to make sure you aren't hyperfocused, you'll find out eventually (I deferred to 2021 due to COVID) Minhessica, OrangeJuice14, sonalikm and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossingallmyfingers Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Has anyone applied to Smith's MSW program and heard back? From past years it looks like the might only send out answers in Feb but I am dying of anticipation. I also applied to Columbia, NYU, and UT Austin and haven't heard back yet... sending hugs to all the other ppl on here anxiously waiting! I did get into DU very quickly after applying, so at least I'm going somewhere Good luck to us all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
