socialworkette Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 @PuraVida21 thanks for calling, that's so good to know. I'm such a chicken when it comes calling for stuff like that LOL
emmypie Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Is anyone applying for a second time? Didn't get in last year, and applying this year?
rad1993 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 @rad1993 add me as a +1 for worried about price tags. I'd be moving to NY from Richmond, Virginia which is a pretty affordable city. It's going to be a huge financial burden to come to NY for school whether I go to NYU or Columbia but I'm hoping that the experience is worth it and that I get a decent financial aid package (as we all are hoping haha) As someone who has gone to NYU for undergrad, living uptown by Columbia is far better in my experience than down by NYU. The space you get in the East Village is like a closet as opposed to the nicely spaced out rooms and living areas in apartments in Manhattan Valley/West Harlem. I'm living quite close to Columbia now and commuting down to NYU because it's so much cheaper up there! Grocery stores uptown are also relatively cheaper - though trader joe's is probably your best bet either at 72nd street or union square. Brooklyn is also pretty affordable (as far as New York goes) but the subways are not as reliable or often. Â I personally didn't bother applying to NYU because they've made me jump through so many hoops to get my undergraduate degree, but what I've heard is that it's a great program at NYU! If you haven't lived in New York before, you're in for a treat. Â To everyone else still waiting, I'm keeping you all in my thoughts! Keep us posted!
jharper Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 @rad1993, Thanks for all of that insight. Also, good to know about better apartments in the UWS compared to the Village.
rosesw Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Any current Columbia students free to answer questions about the program?
MissyTee Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I've been very Zen waiting for Columbia, telling myself an email will come in due time. But I'm thinking of setting a deadline- if I don't hear by next Monday it will be time to call. In checking the Results page for last year, it looks like people got answers through April but hoping those are people who applied later.
caitdownie Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Alright guys, slowly approaching the usual time!! Fingers crossed!
PuraVida21 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Someone help! I just got this email but it's not like the ones you guys have been talking about! Does this mean I am admitted and missed an email!?!? "Dear xxxx Once again, congratulations on being admitted! This email is to confirm that we have your final, official transcript on file (per item #12 on the New Student Checklist). You do not need to send us another transcript.

niknik92 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I would ask them about it! Doesn't hurt to make sure!
socialworkette Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 @PuraVida21 congrats! That's weird you didn't get your official link yet but maybe call them to confirm?
AstoriaGal Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 @puravida check the online portal and see if you have a status update.

niknik92 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 if we haven't got it, does that mean we didn't get accepted?
socialworkette Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Ps @puravida21 I got that email 4 minutes before they sent the official decision email so it must be a glitch or something.
MissyTee Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Ahhhh as soon as I saw this board hopping I broke my promise of checking my email until later tonight. And my Penn decision was waiting for me too! Ahhhh I'm in! Congratulations everyone! And good luck to everyone waiting...hold tight! Edited March 2, 2015 by MissyTee
PuraVida21 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Ahhh! I got the official letter and I'm in! So happy!
socialworkette Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 @caitdownie the platform you use to apply. There should be a link to it in your inbox from when you initially applied
