I got into the data program and qualify for federal loans, but covering the $105,000 in tuition is going to be, uh, tricky.

Especially because the program I applied for is 2 years instead of the usual one since its a dual degree so its going to be even more expensive. I'm still happy I got financial aid but lol. At the moment, berkeley is still the most affordable to me due to being In-state and the ability to qualify for TA

MissWorld19 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Anyone who got into Columbia get their financial aid info yet? Weirdly enough, I never got an e-mail alerting me about my acceptance (or even that my application status was changed) -- as I mentioned elsewhere in this read, I just decided to go look at my application and it said I had been accepted! But today I got an email from housing congratulating me on my acceptance and giving me a bunch of info about housing. I'm wondering if somehow I didn't receive my financial aid info, or if they just haven't sent it out yet. So, wondering if anyone else has gotten theirs!

Yeah, I did yesterday about a couple hours after I found out about my acceptance. It's in an email and they break it up for you. Like mine said I won 15,000 in scholarship and qualified for 20,000 in federal loans, so in total it said 35,000 would cover that cost. It also sent a link to Columbia's student financial aid account. I don't know how the process is that their emailing with, but this is all I know at least Edited March 17, 2021 by caffeinecoffeetay
caffeinecoffeetay Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I also need some assistance with deciding as well and were hoping to hear some thoughts. I won a full ride to CUNY, but I also love Medill (M.S in Politics, Policy and Foreign Affairs specialization). I received a 20,000 scholarship from them, but I'd still have to take loans out. I kinda feel at crossroads.
