This is truly excruciating. On the website's FAQ, it says those who apply by the priority deadline should hear back by mid of March. What's taking so long? Has this ever happened before?

I looked at previous year’s admission forums and this seems to be a common pattern every year. They should provide better communication to us, but sadly all we can do is wait. I hope the news is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahopefulgradstudent Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I applied to Columbias Ph.D. program and got denied but they offered to put my application into the Master's of Arts in Psychology in Education pool - which I responded to do with a yes please. (Fordham did the same thing with me too but I just got rejected yesterday.) However, they said that this is a whole separate review process that will take 6-8 weeks !! Kind of frustrating but does anyone know anything about this? TC. Columbia is my top school and I'm kind of nervous to keep waiting for another 2 months only to be rejected (again) but I'm trying to have positive thoughts.

AaJO1984 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hi, I applied to the Applied Behavior Analysis Dual program after the early childhood program was cancelled until Summer 2022. I wonder if anyone who applied received any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringPsych Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 On 3/5/2021 at 1:00 PM, psyched4socialpsych said: Awesome! Congrats, and nice to meet you too I don't know anyone who has gone to TC so super glad to hear that everyone has had a positive experience. So I got $15.5K for the first school year -- it's not clear to me if that # depends on taking 12 units per semester or whether I can take fewer (9 units or 6 units). It's also not clear that it'll be renewed year on year. Hopefully the # doesn't drop if you don't take a full load, since I'm planning on working part time and will probably only take 9 or 6 units. I'll ask fin aid and update you! Is the Cogsci in Education Ph.D. program fully funded (tuition covered + stipend)? I know that clinical psych is (https://www.tc.columbia.edu/counseling-and-clinical-psychology/clinical/degrees--requirements/clinical-psychology-phd/funding/), but I'm curious about the Cogsci program! Did you get funding? Hi! when you mention you got $15.5, was that from the TC Scholarship and Diversity Scholarship combined total? Also, did you fill out FAFSA to receive more financial aid or did everything from the former two I mentioned? I'm wondering because it seems like many people got $16K. My friend was also in TC (just graduated) and received 16K. I'm wondering how they determine what each application gets. My friend also informed me they don't renew it the following year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also wow that is such a bummer / a little sketch that they don't renew it. I asked about renewal to the financial aid office (data pts around avg scholarship in year 1 vs. year 2, % students who get a renewal of equal or greater amount, etc.) and they didn't answer those questions!

TP2552 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I applied for Instructional Technology and Media program by the final deadline and still anxiously waiting for the decision. On 30th April, all of my three recommenders were emailed by TC to submit a copy of recommendation letters and their name card/public website. Is that a bad sign or something?

I did email someone last week and was told that the timeline remains the same - 6 to 8 weeks from the last week of March so we should be getting something at the end of May. Im so anxious!!
