Xnny Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I am still waiting for Columbia spring 16-month MSW, they told me I might hear back from them by the end of next week. I am so nervous, feel like I may get rejected. So if I am rejected, is it possible to let them reconsider me for the fall admission?
pippapants Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I wouldn't be tremendously worried. The more expensive schools have some of the highest rates of acceptance, because they have such a low yield (i.e. half the people who get in have sticker shock and realize it will put them into debt forever, so they end up going somewhere more affordable). I think Columbia has a 60-70% acceptance rate, but has a pretty low yield. http://mswprograms.com/msw-acceptance-rates/ https://sweduc.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/msw-and-phd-admission-rates/
Xnny Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks for sharing this! But I am worried that it's more selective for the spring than the fall
Xnny Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Haven't heard back yet! Anyone receive their decision from Columbia?
tulipsanddaisies Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I am waiting to hear back too. I called the office and they said it could be any time this week. Good luck!

tulipsanddaisies Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I applied to University of Maryland School of Social Work last year and got in but deferred because I wasn't sure it was where I wanted to go. Have you heard anything yet?

Have you heard anything yet? No not yet I have been waited for more than a month. That's so stressful!
Xnny Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 I am being very impatient! Never heard back from them. When I called the office, they refused to tell me and just transferred my phone call. I don't understand why the process is so slow. I would rather they reject me than let me wait forever!
Opt4theBest Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Xnny, have you heard back from Columbia? What's the result? I hope you get in.
