Congrats Niki -- for which concentration? I also got into Columbia for their part-time Magazine concentration -- super excited!

[nikim89]

novelgirl,

I'm magazine too! But full time We'll be studying together!

[karmapolice]

Me too, novelgirl and nikim89.

(I've also been accepted to NYU magazine and Medill)

[nikim89]

karmapolice,

are you definitely choosing Columbia? I also got into Medill, but i wanted to be in NYC, especially for a magazine concentration. And I got waitlisted at NYU, so I'm just accepting Columbia

[karmapolice]

Nikim89, I'm going with Columbia. For me, it was a toss up between Medill and Columbia.

[journerdalist]

Berkeley - Accepted (funding)

Northwestern - Accepted (funding)

Columbia - Accepted (no funding, I don't think)

I'm torn.

[nikim89]

Journerdalist,

I was trying to decide between Medill and Columbia, and CU won out because of the location and course. I'm doing magazine journalism, and there is really no better place to be than NYC. Also, it seems that Columbia integrates digital media in its classes - there's also the Delacorte lecture series for magazine writers. Honestly, it depends on your concentration, but for me, it was a no-brainer. And I didn't get into Berkeley haha!

[novelgirl]

Hi all, Did anyone receive their financial aid information yet for Columbia?

[sooperwoman]

Yep. I'm not getting anything from them. NYU ho!

[novelgirl]

Hi Sooperwoman, I got no aid from them as well.

[bieber]

How are you guys financing Columbia? I thought about applying there but I think I would be in debt for the rest of my life

[novelgirl]

Lots of loans.

[bywaystar]

Folks,

Do any of you have acceptances/rejects from Columbia's waitlist? I'm on this waitlist - and havent heard back - so wondering what's on.

Any of you in the same boat?

[bywaystar]

Hey guys,

I'm on Columbia's waitlist - and havent yet heard back. Any of you in the waitlist and have a confirmation/reject yet?

You guys know when Columbia expects to respond?

[Hope&me]

so far:

Accepted: CUNY, Syracuse, UTexas at Austin, UNC, BU, Medill

Waitlisted: NYU (Magazine) - first choice so i hope someone rejects

Waiting: Columbia and USC

Hi nikim89,

Could you elaborate a bit on your profile. I'm new to the forum and I'm considering applying to some of the journalism programs you mentioned above.

Thanks.
