MSW2018?? Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 So I decided to apply last minute to Columbia. YESTERDAY. I don't understand how the application portal is still open if it's past the deadline. Will they even process my application? I have a 4.0 GPA and a long list of volunteer work. stheart and APARK 1 1

It seems I've gotten very invested in this despite my better judgment (I don't expect to get in). It's just the waiting that drives you crazy. I think I would be doing better if I wasn't desperate to know my financial aid offer from the one school I've been accepted to thus far, lol.

It's nice to have people to commiserate with, but at the same time, I don't think I would be thinking about it so much if I hadn't found this website. Now that I have though, I can't seem to stop checking it compulsively.
APARK Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I applied for 2 year full time program with the concentration on advanced clinical social work. I applied on Dec 1st 2017, but my application got completed on Jan 31st. Congrats ya'll who received the email from Columbia! keep my fingers crossed for all of us!

Lo-Waldo11 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Hey guys! I have been neurotically checking this forum multiple times per day. I am an advanced standing candidate in clinical social work, applied on the 18th of November and have YET TO HEAR BACK. You can tell I'm super chill about it. Curious if any ASP candidates have heard back yet? All I'm seeing on this forum are people for the 2 year program having heard back.
JonoDuncan Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 I just received my acceptance to Columbia about 10 minutes ago!! I am an Advanced Standing in person candidate in the policy track. Good luck everyone!! kypie 1

Particularly any applicants who have applied post the 12/1/17 priority deadline?? I applied on 2/13/18 then called the following day to confirm everything was received (the system was being buggy and telling me my app wasn't complete so of course I panicked). The person I spoke with let me know I should hear back within three weeks. So, if that holds, I should hear back this week. But, if people who applied before the priority deadline haven't even heard back yet that doesn't make me super hopeful! I'm not anxious at all though *inserts sarcasm invoking emoji/GIF here*

lanabeni Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Woah woah...didn't know about this side of Grad Cafe lol I see some clinical people hearing back. I applied 12/1 for clinical health, mental health, and disabilities online. Has anyone heard that is similar to me? I keep hearing that it goes by program and what not, but I feel like I'm missing something at this point. frolikewhoa 1
doctormelody Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Did anyone over here hear anything today? There are two Columbia threads so it's hard to keep track of what's been happening, lol. Kat_MSW2018 1
