gradschoolmom Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 My ex-SIL (long story but we are still friends!) was already accepted at NYU I thought...not sure when she put in her application though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbergstrom Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 for NYU, put in my application in september and heard back 10 days later.. they email you your admission status is ready, and then you log into your account and view you admission decision letter.. mine had an academic scholarship listed in the acceptance. there are a ton of other people in other threads who already heard, too.. usually 2-4 weeks within submitting and it being complete it seems! i did not apply to columbia. goodluck!

hopefulmsw2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I submitted my application on 11/17. It was completed on 1/17 and I was accepted on Feb 7. This is for NYU btw. I received a scholarship with the acceptance letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH0709 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 It took me 8 weeks to receive an acceptance from NYU with a scholarship- I think my app may have been mixed up somewhere because I heard about 10 or 11 days after calling to inquire since they say it's usually a 4-6 week waiting period. (So it was quick after I called.) I haven't heard from Columbia yet, though I haven't expected to because they sent an email back in December I think saying they typically send out decision letters in early March. You may want to call NYU to check on your app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim K Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 just wondering if anyone else has applied/heard from/ got an interview with columbia or nyu for the MSW program. I haven't heard of anything, and am starting to wonder when i will! Hi! I was just accepted to Columbia - I applied on 12/18. They sent me an email telling me my admission decision was ready to view and directed me to sign into the application website. No information on funding yet but they need a decision by 3/30 with $400 deposit. Good luck, hope you hear today too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sondosia Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I got into NYU today! I applied right at the deadline in January. Haven't heard back from Columbia; I applied early in January too. Uh oh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bukowski Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 How is everyone planning to finance these very expensive programs in the most expensive city? I'd love to attend Columbia but the amount of debt I'd incur is very paralyzing to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiki123 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm still waiting to hear back from NYU - I applied on 1/4, but my application wasn't marked complete until 2/1. Hopefully I hear back soon and it's good news. It says my application is currently under review, but the wait is killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfed12 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 For those who were accepted into Columbia, when did you submit your application? And did they call, email or send a package? Starting to get nervous..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiki123 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Still no word from NYU. It's been a long couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim K Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 For those who were accepted into Columbia, when did you submit your application? And did they call, email or send a package? Starting to get nervous..... I submitted my app around December 20th and received an email that directed me to log in to my application portal to view my decision online. Good luck!

mswapp2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I applied to NYU, my app says it was complete on 1/16 but I still haven't heard anything! I emailed there last Thursday and they said that a faculty member signed out my application to review on february 20th so just keep checking my online status... I am freaking out! What could possibly take that long? Hoping my app was forgotten about or misplaced... Anyone else still waiting?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiki123 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I finally heard back and was accepted into NYU. They gave me a small scholarship, too! It's a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswapp2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 still waiting on NYU! i called there today and the woman said an 8 week waiting time isn't unusual.. i'm thinking it can't mean anything good. I have a week and a half to deposit at USC so I am really hoping NYU will hurry up! Congrats to everyone who has been accepted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyx3ann Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I applied to Columbia, NYU, & Hunter.... got accepted into columbia, had an interview with hunter (and awaiting a final answer), and I still have not heard from NYU !!! I'm interested in the clinical side of things and all of these schools have strong programs so I don't know what I will end up choosing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzarf Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 This wait is making me go nuts! Has anyone else heard anything?! Its been about seven weeks since my NYU profile was updated to "complete and in review" so I thought I'd hear back by now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbacats Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi! Just came across this forum. I submitted my applications to Columbia, NYU, and Hunter all at/around their application deadlines (Jan 3, Jan 12, and Feb 4) Columbia: submitted application Jan 3, got accepted Feb 21 NYU: submitted application Jan 12, accepted Feb 12 Hunter: submitted application Feb 4, interviewed March 19, accepted April 2 From what I gather though, the schools' response timelines don't seem to be uniform across the board for their applicants. For instance, I had to extend response deadlines for Columbia (once) and NYU (twice) while I was waiting to hear from Hunter. But a couple of other prospective students I interviewed with at the group interview at Hunter had applied to the same schools, but for some reason for NYU they still had until the end of March. And then of course Hunter seems to have been accepting students since February, yet they aren't finalizing all their decisions until May 1! It was a pretty frustrating experience.

roadmovie Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Found this forum yesterday, it would'vt been of great help earlier... I've sent in all the documents within deadlines (MSW Two Year programs), got accepted to NYU in the beginning of February and to Columbia in mid-March. The deadline for accepting the latter offer has passed, but they are still waiting for my decision... I think I'll go to NYU, they give me a scholarship (saving money for my parents) and I didn't like Columbia's general attitude... Plus the Columbia students I tried talking to were either super unhelpful (speaking of student ambassadors) or didn't get back to me at all. Meanwhile, I haven't heard back from Uni of Toronto and McGill turned me down - where's the logic in that =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
