I finished my application on the due date (Jan. 29) and a couple of my checkboxes (for previous transcripts) still have not been checked off, even though all materials were submitted at the same time. I'm worried but trying to stay calm. Huge congratulations to everyone who has gotten in… Super exciting! It happened to me as well. It freaked me out when I saw pending materials on my checklist. I then decided to email the admissions and ask if they can find the missing documents and sent them the screenshots from the application page (not Albert) and then the next day, my checklist was updated accordingly. My advice to you is to reach out to them and get them to confirm that they receive everything because otherwise your application won't get evaluated (not until all materials are submitted). I applied on Jan 28th and my application was completed on 29th on Albert and I have not heard anything from them after since.

I just emailed them and hope to hear back soon. Thanks for the advice.

JMSW_16 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 First time posting! Super excited to announce that acceptance letters are on their way! I applied near the application deadline in early January and found out this morning of my acceptance for fall 2016 admission. Congrats to all applicants who got the good news Good luck to all who are waiting. *high fives*

I'm expecting to hear from the School by next Thursday as I have received the email "Welcome from the Dean" this morning. Many people said they received their acceptance letter a week after they received this email.

aramirez Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 For those people who have been accepted... Do you know if when they give you a scholarship upon reviewing your application, if they renew it the second year?

I looked through some forums from last year (Fall 2015) and saw that many people did not get their acceptance letters until APRIL!!! I'm a bag of nervvveessss.....

They sent me a follow up email stating "By now you should have received an email awarding you a scholarship. Please note that the amount listed is the TOTAL for the academic year, which includes both the fall and spring semesters. This award is not per semester...etc.." I am wondering if it is renewable?
AMcCoy Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 @aramirez My scholarship letter stated for the academic year but had no information on it being renewable. I am however an advanced standing student so I will only be attending for a year. I would call financial aid and see if it is per year for the whole time you are in the MSW program.

Not in the award email. I contacted the financial aid department directly, and they told me that it is renewable as long as I remain a full-time student in good standing. I would contact them to confirm though- I'd assume it's the same for us all, but I'm not positive.

rlauren Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I applied on the extended deadline and I'm still waiting to hear back. I got the letter from the dean last week so hopefully I'll get a decision sometime soon.

Opt4theBest Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 And one minute ago, I received this: Visit NYU Silver School of Social Work I almost had a heart attack!
AMcCoy Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Does anyone know if once you put down the deposit you have to commit to the school or can you change your mind?

Lol I know exactly what you mean!... Altogether, I have received over 11 of these emails, about scholarships and financial aid, welcome from the Dean, etc... I am really starting to get worried Who else is still waiting?...

AMcCoy Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 @rlauren Thank you, I unfortunately am reaching my deadline for NYU and still waiting on Columbia. In the end I am leaning more towards NYU anyway but it will suck to lose the $300 if I decide Columbia. I swear this process has been so stressful.

rlauren Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 @AMcCoy I know! I'm pretty set on columbia but would like to visit both just incase.
