I thought I was out actually, cause I didn't get a phone call, but maybe they didn't call because I don't have an US number. Congrats!!
lineal Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Also waiting for Columbia! Will we get the financial aid information at the same time than the acceptance?

Will we get the financial aid information at the same time than the acceptance? I actually think we receive the financial package afterwards, similar to Medill. This is just based off of my understanding on what’s displayed on the website. Has anyone emailed Columbia to see if we’re finding out this weekend or on Monday?

lineal Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 A former student told me it actually takes a bit more time! Which is a bummer because my financial aid (as many of you, I assume) is ultimately what is going to drive my decision!! Haven't emailed Columbia but I'd say Monday. I'd find it weird to hear back on a Sunday.
ggnr Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 The "New Student Information" page is not yet update... I'm not sure if we will receive news from Columbia tomorrow https://journalism.columbia.edu/new-student-information

It’s pretty easy to update a page on the site in a few seconds. I believe we will start hearing from Columbia tomorrow.

Really really hoping to also hear from Columbia and Berkeley financial aid today so I can start with the decision making this weekend, it’s gonna be tough. I’m also in at NYU, I think $$$ is going to be the biggest deciding factor for me. yeah financial aid is a big factor for me too. So far, berkeley is the best option financially as i'm a CA resident so can get in-state. Also, I know that TA positions ( although quite competitive) waives the tuition for in state at berkeley. This is just what I read in an article last year though so idk if that's still the case.

Yep, I know it's easy... But I'm guiding myself through this page. I'll only be excited to hear from them when I see this page updated...

I’m a CA resident too and got a $15,000/year scholarship — I think that’ll put it about on par with NYU with aid for me. The possibility of TA positions makes me lean toward Berkeley but it’s hard to get a sense of the chances of actually landing one
lineal Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Yeah it's wild that Columbia has no option for TAing or helping professors somehow to make it more affordable :/.

Same with Northwestern I believe. It kinda sucks. I know I wouldn’t be offered a TA because I’m doing grad right after undergrad but imagine how much that would help those selected people.

I tried calling Columbia just now to ask when we should be hearing and they didnt answer has anyone tried emailing

I tried calling them when I submitted my app because I had a question about the payment and there was no answer/the person who emailed me back said they were WFH. So, I think e-mail is the only way to reach them! Journo99 and freakout123 2
ggnr Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 They usually respond to emails quite quickly... I had to send two emails at different times and they responded on the same day. But let's wait, I think we'll hear from them soon freakout123 1
SRA Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Hey, Does any one have info about how many students are admitted for each M.A. concentration? Also, have more students applied for the M.A. program as compared to previous years?

ggnr Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 This Wednesday will complete 10 weeks since the final deadline of those who applied for MA... 10 weeks is usually the maximum term for most universities, right? I hope we hear from Columbia until then

I emailed them three times during the app process and still haven’t heard back once.
