Also, anyone know if Columbia provides academic scholarships or just financial-need aid? I think my acceptance letter said I would hear about financial aid and other matters in the coming weeks. Not entirely sure when that means! And I believe for the first year aid is all need based but I could be wrong.
adorablepancreas Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Has anyone received an email about Admitted Students Day? On the FB group a student ambassador said it would be April 1st but I want to wait for official information about timing of events before I buy plane tickets.
Jelevy Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 I also applied to Columbia! But in their Advanced Standing program! I'm currently a senior completing my BSSW at Syracuse! Super anxious awaiting to hear back from here and USC! I've already heard back from Syracuse's advanced standing program, so I'm hoping I'll hear from the others, soon!

Kdubbub Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I was accepted yesterday!!!! Pretty surprised actually. I'd convinced myself I was going to be rejected! Columbia is my first choice as of now but I'll wait to make a decision until I hear about financial aid and get a decision from Hunter. adorablepancreas, where did u hear about accepted students day? Anyone receive a financial aid offer yet?

Keeli Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I've just been accepted!!! Wow, I'm beyond happy right now! I applied to the clinical concentration (2 year program) with the practice focused on international social welfare and service to immigrant and refugee. Good luck to you all! The offers are coming!

Shrivi27 Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Just got accepted too. Really excited. but the pricy nature is definitely concerning. Any idea when financial aid info is going to be available?

I received an email to a link for the group a day or two after I was admitted. the group also has current students who we can ask questions. They were the ones that said admitted students day was April 1st. I emailed admissions to confirm and they said yes, that's what they're planning and info would go out soon.

12sliders Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 For those who have heard their decision... How long did it take from the time you got the email saying your application was complete and will now be under review to the time you heard back??

I submitted my application on November 28th, my last letter of rec was completed on the 1st of December. I got an email a few days after that saying my app was complete. I'd say somewhere around December 5th or so. I received my acceptance on January 23rd. So I guess a month and three weeks-ish?

mswh0peful Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Has anyone else who applied by the Dec 1st deadline still not heard back yet? And has anyone received their financial aid packages yet? For some reason, I got an email on Dec 29th saying that my application was complete even though it was complete by the 1st, so I'm wondering if that's why I still haven't heard back yet.

adorablepancreas Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Hey everyone, I emailed the financial aid office and they said they are anticipating sending out financial aid award information in March. They are currently compiling the database.

Racket Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I finished my application on February 1, and received an acceptance letter today! I am so excited, but the cost of the school is making me have doubts. Waiting on scholarship information.
