Kdubbub Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I was accepted a few days ago! I was initially super excited to be accepted but then kinda disappointed when I received my scholarship amount the next day. They gave me $8000 which means I would have to take out 70K in loans. Ugh. I'll be interested in hearing what other people have been offered.
KruMaew Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I heard back awhile ago, but I don't think I'll be going. I was awarded $21,000 (total) so it's still around the same price as all the other private schools before subtracting their scholarships. I went to visit the school and it seems really nice, but I'm not sure the program is really worth the cost, considering all of the other wonderful (cheaper) MSW programs. It is NYC though, which makes it very appealing.
MSW2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 Just received admission! My letter says "It is crucial that you submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to process your federal financial aid," though I have already done so. Funding will also be a consideration as I think about NYU. Did either of you have a similar notation in your acceptance email? If so, when/how did you hear back on your Finaid? Thank you for any insights!!

Thank you for any insights!! You're supposed to receive your scholarship award amount the next day. If you were accepted on a Friday though maybe you'll have to wait until Monday? I'm not sure but that's my guess.
lunabathory Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I was accepted around two weeks ago with 17k per year in scholarship. However, I probably won't be going since I got into Columbia. I'm waiting to hear about financial aid from them before I officially turn down the offer. Once I do, it will free up a spot for someone else and potentially some scholarship funds since they likely are drawing from one pool of funds. Good luck, everyone!
MSW2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Posted January 30, 2017 Congrats @lunabathory on your acceptances! Glad you are making a choice that feels right for you. I was notified of a 15k scholarship from NYU yesterday. I am trying to discern what the ultimate cost would be with this scholarship - guessing around 70k including fees? I am particularly focused on college/high school social work counseling so trying to decide what school would offer the most resources for that path.
Lateralus685 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Who has applied for Advanced Standing? How long in between status updates did it take for you to hear back? NYU Albert says that they are 'currently processing my application.'
lovetodogood Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Leaning towards NYU! I was accepted to fordham and columbia as well and have talked to a LOT of people from each program and i plan on doing clinical and nyu by far has the strongest of them all WestCoasterGoingEast 1

You applied to NYU Jan 9 and got accepted Jan 16?

Lateralus685 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Received my acceptance from NYU last night via e-mail; however, it did not include a specific mention of scholarship awards. It just said that I will "receive more information in the coming weeks" and that if I have questions about financial aid or my overall package to contact their financial aid dept. If there is a paper acceptance letter on its way, I wonder if more information is included here?
lovetodogood Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 If you get any scholarship, you will receive it in the mail 1-2 days after you get accepted
lulumanila Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Has anyone received their financial aid package yet?
lunabathory Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 You should receive a scholarship email shortly after your admission offer. I'm not sure if there's any other financial aid nor am I sure when that info is sent out.
Lateralus685 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Received scholarship info exactly 24 hours after decision e-mail.

I'm also going to turn down the offer. I got into UPenn in Philadelphia and offered me more money. Congrats on Columbia! I was going to apply but after 8 apps I got tired lol However, I still get emails saying they are still accepting apps for Fall 17! But of coarse the funding is probably all be gone by now. Good luck everyone!
Kdubbub Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Anyone successful appealing for more aid? I just submitted my appeal form and crossing my fingers!

emcue Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Hello! Just wanted to say that I just received my admission letter from NYU and I am beyond thrilled. I didn't think I would get in since my undergrad GPA left much to be desired. So here's a bit of hope for anyone who thinks their stats are too low to apply!
Bella429 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 I received a scholarship, but it wasn't listed in Albert should I be concerned? Anyone else having this issue?
SuzieR Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Where did those of you who've appealed the scholarship amount find the appeal form?
MSWnyc94 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Has anybody put down a deposit for NYU and absolutely planning to attend? or has anyone put a deposit down until they receive an acceptance from another school? I'm still unsure on where to put down a deposit NYU or Fordham until i hear back from Hunter
