odugrad2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Admitted to NYU and rejected from George Mason on the same day. $10,500 scholarship from NYU seems like a pretty solid offer coming from them, but I'm interested in how that compares with what others are seeing. I know Masters programs are thought of as cash cows for larger universities, but I'm feeling a little confused by my admittances/rejections -- and definitely glad I didn't count on any "safety schools," since it seems I'm not being admitted to schools I felt were sure bets. I don't think I slacked off on my applications to Temple and GMU, so maybe it had something to do with their decision-making processes/GPA cutoffs/etc. Did they say why you were rejected from GMU? I'm from the area and George Mason's rep isn't that well known so I am surprised you got into bigger name schools and not there. That is crazy! But congrats on the other programs you were accepted into!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from the area and George Mason's rep isn't that well known so I am surprised you got into bigger name schools and not there. That is crazy! But congrats on the other programs you were accepted into!! Nope, it was a pretty standard "Thanks for applying" letter. I did notice that their website lists a "3.0 for the last 60 credit hours" requirement, which I didn't meet, but I had compelling reasons, tons of professional and volunteer experience, and great recommendations... so I guess I thought that would offset. A similar thing happened at Temple. GMU was probably my last choice (more interested in urban issues, no Ph.D. program), but I'm hoping that VCU comes through so I'll have at least one in-state option when I'm considering the financial side of things.

urbanengine Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Per an email from Fooks/UCLA Admissions (in reply to an email I wrote him): "I’m sure this is a stressful time trying to plan and having to wait to hear from programs you’ve applied to. I believe there will be final decisions made by Monday April 11th. I will follow up with you on Monday afternoon. I’ll make an inquiry with the admissions committee about when they will send out notices." Hope that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually good to know the waiting will end soon to know one way or another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Wow! Congrats! How is your tuition so cheap though? Its a public university, therefore it has a cheaper tuition. Overall for a two year program it will be 16k. Not including living expenses! I will be sending in my letter of intent next week. It beats 80k in JUST tuition at USC. Thanks for everyone listening and putting up with my schenanigans! Best of luck to EVERYONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDR Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 NYU: Accepted with $10,500 in tuition assistance (Tuition: ~$36,000/year) Smith: Accepted with $17,000 in tuition assistance (Tuition: ~$20,000/year) Bryn Mawr: Have not heard yet Maryland: Have not heard yet I'm 95% sure I'm going to Smith. I love their program. Even with the generous offer from NYU, I can't beat the lower cost of attendance for an equitable program at Smith. Even if Maryland comes through with In-State tuition, the price tag for Smith will be the best option. I also love their strengths on clinical SW, women, race, and and veteran's services.

sasalm11 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Heard back from Bryn Mawr today...I got in! Received an envelope today via USPS priority service postmarked the 8th of April (last Friday). No word on the financial aid package yet...should receive it hopefully before the 25th of April, the day in which a decision of pending enrollment should be made. Hopefully everyone else who has applied hears back today or later this week. All the best guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedifreac Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Has anyone received a financial aid package from UCLA yet? I haven't heard a peep and I'm a little worried because they want us to commit by Friday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZmsw Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Has anyone received a financial aid package from UCLA yet? I haven't heard a peep and I'm a little worried because they want us to commit by Friday... I have not heard anything about financial aid. I emailed Mr. Fooks after being accepted a few weeks ago and he said that he "will be in contact with admitted students about financial aid options soon," which tells me absolutely nothing. My guess is that acceptances are still rolling out and that financial aid isn't even on their radar yet. It's more than a little frustrating since they've had 4 months to get all this in order.

genmsw Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Did anyone still waiting hear anything from UCLA? Lance Fooks also told me we would hear today (Monday) and not to worry about the admitted students day as it had no bearing on acceptances, as the committee are behind on their decisions. And still, nothing... Edited April 12, 2011 by jenmsw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
