marketak Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Does anyone know if it's possible to extend the time you have to accept another school's offer? I've been accepted into NYU and the deposit is due tomorrow to secure my spot, but obviously, Columbia is my first choice. Does anyone have experience with this? I was accepted to NYU last year and had to ask them to postpone the deadline for the deposit for me because I wasn't in the country. They were fine with it. I paid them about two weeks after the deadline. I don't think they thought it was a big deal.
inableakvision Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Some answers have been sent! I just got my e-mail! I'm too scared to open it omgggggggg
socialworkette Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Open itttttt! Good luck!! And tell us how the portal looks like (where the letter/link is located when it appears)
inableakvision Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Open itttttt! Good luck!! And tell us how the portal looks like (where the letter/link is located when it appears)  I GOT INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1  OMG  OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG NO WAY.   I swear I hid under my blanket in the living room for like 45 minutes. I couldn't make myself open the e-mail.  Um so I got an e-mail saying that my decision was ready to be viewed online and then they gave me a link to the online decision notification system where I had  to put in my e-mail and password. Then, I saw my application number and right under it, "Status Update" written in big... I clicked on "view update"  and that's where I saw the decision letter.  GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL! All the best xx
jharper Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Who here applied advanced standing??? When I first submitted my app they told me over the phone we would not be hearing until "pretty much March" because they go through all of our course descriptions to make sure they will transfer in all of you applicable BSW courses, and if not, then tell you in your acceptance letter what you need to take over the summer. I am dying over here...it is "pretty much March" Columbia!!! AHHH
PDT612 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 That fact that emails have been sent out has sent me into a crazy state of checking/refreshing emails whie in class. But @jharper- I applied advanced standing and hope that it doesnt take till march
jharper Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Ugh I know I've been lurking this website for months and literally just figured out how to log into my account again just so I could ask who else is waiting in a state of constant panic with me to see if they got in Advanced Standing. I feel like my anxiety is at an all time high this week knowing it is the last week before March and highly likely I will be hearing back from the rest of my schools any day/minute/second nowwwww
PDT612 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 ^^agreed. ANY DAY NOW has been the story of my life. I just need to hear back from at least one! give me something to soothe the pain lol
emmypie Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I GOT INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1  OMG  OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG NO WAY.   I swear I hid under my blanket in the living room for like 45 minutes. I couldn't make myself open the e-mail.  Um so I got an e-mail saying that my decision was ready to be viewed online and then they gave me a link to the online decision notification system where I had  to put in my e-mail and password.

All the best xx congrats!! did you apply for advanced standing or regular 2 year? you're so lucky you already know!!
jharper Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I wonder if they can see how many times I've opened my application to check on it.... because it is probably like 100 at least. -______-
PDT612 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 also @jharper- when did u apply to Nyu and when did you hear back ? And was it for advanced standing ?
inableakvision Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Thank you jharper and emmypie! Â I applied to the 2 year program! I am an international student, so I think that is why I got my offer today (If I remember correctly, someone mentioned earlier in this thread that they were told international students would be getting their offers a little before American applicants). Â Good luck everyone!!
rachelleyj Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Hello all, I just made this account today.. I am very nervous waiting for the decision letter. Hope we all can hear the good news soon Good luck to you all~Â
PuraVida21 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I've been reading this blog for weeks. I'm so excited someone found out! (I'm still sitting here refreshing my box.) I just wanted to wish everyone luck and a big congratulations to all those accepted. I hope to be making friends with you all in the Fall. B
jharper Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 also @jharper- when did u apply to Nyu and when did you hear back ? And was it for advanced standing ? Yup it was for advanced standing. I applied the day the app was due on the 9th and heard back on the 21st. It was insanely fast!
Bear sweetest Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Does anyone know how many people get accepted into the Advanced standing program?
SocialWorkerSA Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED!!! Flip, woke up at 2am and refreshed my email (time difference means it's still early evening in NYC). I couldn't fall asleep after jumping up and down with relief/excitement!  It is most likely because we're international students (I'm from South Africa) that we have heard this early (because when I contacted them 2 weeks ago they mentioned that they were trying to get international students decisions out sooner).  GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!Â
jharper Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Congrats @SocialWorkerSA! How exciting! I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep either, ahaha.  @Bear Sweetest- I called and asked them about advanced standing acceptance rates back the summer and they would not disclose it to me
jharper Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Has anyone called recently to see when advanced standing decisions will be going out?Â
AstoriaGal Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Have any domestic students received a decision yet??
niknik92 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I've also been following this blog for weeks. I'm a domestic student who also applied for the Advanced Standing program. So anxious to hear back! Congrats to all those who have been accepted by the way!
AstoriaGal Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Also, people heard at 5:30ish (PM) east coast time last year and the international students seem like they heard around that same time this year... just saying...
