He responded on Tuesday and told me I would know my decision in the next two weeks. Just keeping my fingers crossed that it's good news!

I emailed the office on Friday to check in and the lady who emailed me back said to expect a decision early February. In years past, traditional two year students have heard before advanced standing students. So I was just wondering!

I'm happy to hear that! How many candidates do you think were interested in the ASP anyway? Most of these applicants sound like they applied to the 2 year program. Also, have you heard of people being denied from NYU? Their acceptance rate seems high as well as their willingness to give aid. GOOD STUFF!!! You have amazing stats btw. You should get into Columbia no problem. Edited January 30, 2018 by Kat_MSW2018 JonoDuncan 1

I think the majority of their students are traditional two year. A good friend of mine is at Columbia now doing ASP. I forget what she said about the size of her cohort.
KCR Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I reached out to NYU admissions and they extended my decision to March 1st! Keeping my fingers crossed we hear tomorrow from Columbia, the anticipating is killllinnnggg me

Keeping my fingers crossed we hear tomorrow from Columbia, the anticipating is killllinnnggg me I emailed NYU and requested an extension through the end of March and they gave it to me. I think they are flexible but you have to be specific about what you want or they will give you the standard extension. This was my second extension they gave me. I asked for the end of March because in years past, Columbia hasn't released any financial aid packages until March. Hopefully that is different this year!

According to admissions, decisions will be going out starting February 1st. I’m not sure if they’re actually coming out today, but I think any time between now and next week (because that seems to be the time frame I got when I called), is fair game ? kypie 1

I attended one of the summer information sessions and asked a similar question. If I remember correctly, there aren't less advanced standing students because it is capped. They just see a lot more two year students applying from different backgrounds. I do remember the advisor saying that with advanced standing students in particular, they are looking for students who have a good sense of what they want to do with their degree. Since you are jumping straight into year two of the program, they are looking for students who have a clear direction.

I was pretty clear about what I want to do ? hopefully not redundant. I’m truly wishing us the best! I hope to meet you there this summer!!!
Rockybaby Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I haven’t heard anything yet...I know they’ll be released soon, but the wait seems extra tough now haha kypie and KCR 1 1
Rockybaby Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I called admissions. Some time next week and into the week after that seems to be their plan for sending out decisions!
Justsomename Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Does anyone know when everyone is supposed have their decisions by? I’ve heard they were supposed to start “beginning of February” but has anyone heard when they plan to have all final decisions by?

I don’t know when everyone is supposed to have their decisions...all I know is that when I called admissions on January 19th, the woman I spoke with said decisions would be out in about 3 weeks; the director told me on the 23rd that I would know my decision in the next two weeks; and, whoever I spoke with in admissions yesterday said something about next week or possibly the week after that. I realize that’s vague, so sorry :/
