jharper Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 From my experience, if your results doesn't come out by 1week of march you more likely to get a rejection letter. Columbia sends out rejection letter at the end. And there goes my anxiety level skyrocketing into the great beyond! chilly8 1

Currently doing AmeriCorps VISTA at a resource center for people experiencing homelessness. Best of luck to everyone still waiting! It's torture. Edited February 27, 2015 by khack
chilly8 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Is the status on the actual application portal?
socialworkette Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 Is the status on the actual application portal? Its my understanding that the link sent to you via the email leads you to a different portal altogether from the application one. I could be wrong though….
chilly8 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 why haven't the rest of us heard? this is torture!! Now I have to send my $300 deposit to BU to hold my spot while I wait
hiclub2 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Sorry to hear that chilly. Bu has a great clinical program Edited February 27, 2015 by hiclub2
chilly8 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I know it has a great program it is just really expensive and I live in the NY metro area so it would be cheaper to not have to move to Boston! Thanks though
daisyduck Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Is the status on the actual application portal? It will say status update when you open your application. Don't lose hope! There could have been a lot of people who applied!
chilly8 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 wow that was uncalled for, I am pretty sure that person didn't even get in yet but you're supposed to be going into social work and that is how you talk to people.......?
PuraVida21 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I haven't heard either. I went to Columbia undergrad, 3.8 GPA, been working with Sexual Offenders pre trial and on probation. volunteer within prison system. I'm thinking it's not good news if I haven't heard by now.
daisyduck Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Honestly, just shut the hell up. No one wants to hear your insincere condolences. You got in? Good for you and the others, but keep the bs to yourself. That goes for you and all the other "hang in there" asshats in this forum. Wow. Unprofessional much?! This blog is for insight and support.
daisyduck Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 wow that was uncalled for, I am pretty sure that person didn't even get in yet but you're supposed to be going into social work and that is how you talk to people.......? Agreed. This was the last place I'd expect to find drama!! Especially people who start it and that want to be a Social Worker. Sum_1 1
PuraVida21 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I'm fairly certain everyone on here genuinely wants the best for their peers. I know I can use the support right now.... Not that kind of negativity. Sum_1 and chilly8 1 1
chilly8 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Makes no sense... I am honestly appalled that is how someone talks to other people regardless of if he or she knows the person or not. Def not how a prospective social worker should act. Sum_1 1
socialworkette Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 It will say status update when you open your application. Don't lose hope! There could have been a lot of people who applied! Thanks for clarifying daisyduck - that makes sense now because I was wondering how people could find out before getting the official email if it was another separate portal….
socialworkette Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I'm fairly certain everyone on here genuinely wants the best for their peers. I know I can use the support right now.... Not that kind of negativity. YES^^^^ I'm happy with how this thread has grown over the last few weeks and tempers are running high understandably...but people really need to stay chill! There is still plenty of time to find out. I'm still waiting as well.
chilly8 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) the awkward moment when you say "deuces" and "jokes" and then you tell us we have poor english.... Honestly, this is a flucking joke. People with 2.5s, 3.3s, poor English, and (don't forget!) "experience in a foreign country," etc getting into Columbia? Jokes. It looks like just another case of pandering to "international" student dollars and/or bleeding heart "liberals" who'd rather be caped-crusaders in a country half a world away than do any flucking thing about issues right here. To hell with domestic students who want to make a difference HERE. Oh, no. That'd be anathema. You have to want to feed starving children in Brazil or clothe LGBT youth in Korea to get any attention these days. Screw it. I'm changing majors. If I'm going to be played by the system, I might just as well make money doing it. Deuces "social work." STEM education, here I come. Edited February 27, 2015 by chilly8
