Columbia MSW Applicants (Fall 2018)

Recommended Posts

We’ve gotta be the most impatient but supportative group yet haha. I wonder what the future applicants are going to think of us!

I really hope this is THE week for us. Good luck everyone! I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN NY EITHER WAY. (PS. Should we start a MSW NY thread? To stay connected? Columbia, NYU, Hunter (and the other NY MSW) folks?

Just a little insight that I thought I'd share. I have a friend who is at Columbia right now. She said that two of the four or five faculty that review applications quit (I don't know when), and that is why it is taking longer than usual to review the applications. They are short handed.

That explains a lot! That must be tough getting through all of these with just two people.

Wow! Thanks for the information. I’m sure a bunch of us would go help them read apps ?

Hi did any hear from Columbia? :(

I am worried since my application was completed on Jan 30

 

Many of us who applied in November still haven't heard. I wouldn't worry that you haven't heard yet, but unfortunately it might mean you have a while until you know :/

I called a little while (AGAIN) to see the status of my application. The person I spoke to told me that applications are reviewed by 3 people and that priority applicants WILL hear back by March 1.

I submitted my application on Dec 1st 2017, but my application completed on Jan 1st 2018 because of the transcript. But I haven't heard from them yet.. Does it mean I am more likely to get rejected? :(

If we aren’t notified today or tomorrow...hopefully next week???? I can’t see it being any later than that for them to release more decisions.

Every day at 5pm I hold my breath and refresh the email...but nothing comes. The website says on or around March 1st so I'm feeling especially nervous today...let's hope that today is our day!!
