Best NYC Program- Accepted to NYU, Fordham, Columbia, and Hunter

[lovetodogood]

hi all! I was accepted to all 4 NYC sw schools listed in the title. Any reason (besides money) that makes one better than the others?

There are some solid discussions on this around the net. I have spoken to various SWs who have positive reviews on all programs - I think it boils down to what your specific interests are. I have heard Hunter has the strongest community organizing program and NYU has the most focus on direct service, whereas Fordham has the strongest grounding in social justice. I've heard mixed reviews on whether Columbia's brand impacts hiring/career outcomes. 

I'm in the same boat as you except I haven't heard back from Hunter yet - when did you receive word of your acceptance? 

I'd take a look at this thread for some specifics:

Congratulations on your acceptance to all 4 schools. Do you mind sharing when did you submit your application to Hunter college? Also, which track did you applied to? Thank you!
