For the housing, how do we rank Bard Hall? What if it's my top choice? What if it's my last choice?
Bard Hall is the only building with dorm style; the rest is apartment style. Maybe the price depends on the area of the room? Also, you could request the price that you're looking to pay when you apply.Which dorms are the better options and why are some of the rates listed on the housing website so broad? Bard Hall ranges from $780-1170. I'm looking for the cheapest options but don't want to request Bard if I might end up paying 1170.
Is this $30,000 for each year or for both combined ($15,000 each year)?I've just declined my Columbia offer, so hopefully my $30,000 scholarship goes to one of you, good luck!!!
$35,000 each yearIs this $30,000 for each year or for both combined ($15,000 each year)?

Sorry I read that question wrong. Thought it was pertaining to how much tuition is. They most likely give you the option to spread it out.Holy Moly. I wish I could've gotten something like that.
As far as the housing is concerned I'd rather share a room with someone in Harlem or Queens then to pay these atrocious amounts for living space.

On the application, it tells you how you can rank your preferences. And you can put your request in the comment section on the bottom of the application. Well, at least that's where I put my requests.Same question I have. Also, how would I request a cheaper room?

I requested the reconsideration and extension on the 14th. Got approved for both the same day then got the reconsideration an hour after. They were pretty adamant that I wasn't going to hear back until a week after the 15th when I initially asked. I've been having a difficult time with their offices so this surprised me when I heard back the same day. I emailed both admissions and financial requesting the extension. Bc both offices kept telling me to ask the other office. hopefully you'll hear soonHas anyone waiting for financial aid reconsideration and asked for a decision extension heard anything since the April 15 deadline?
Same here! I asked to be reconsidered a third time yesterday and they got back to me with a revised letter one hour later.I requested the reconsideration and extension on the 14th.

Did your award change significantly from the second time you asked to be reconsidered?Same here! I asked to be reconsidered a third time yesterday and they got back to me with a revised letter one hour later.
I'd suggest for any of you who have not heard back from them after asking to be reconsidered, to resend your email.
They gave me $2,500 more. Not significantly more, but definitely appreciated and much more of a help to me!!Did your award change significantly from the second time you asked to be reconsidered?
That's still good! That's also good that they granted the reconsideration after the 1st and 2nd time. Did they give you grief about it?They gave me $2,500 more. Not significantly more, but definitely appreciated and much more of a help to me!!
No, not at all! They were very pleasant about it and said "We are pleased to provide you with a revised package."That's still good! That's also good that they granted the reconsideration after the 1st and 2nd time. Did they give you grief about it?
about 3 months, but maybe that's because I applied early.hey guys I just submitted my application to the 1 year accelerated general MPH program, the deadline is June 1st!! how long after you submitted your application did you hear back from Columbia?
Did you apply to the 1 year MPH too?about 3 months, but maybe that's because I applied early.
Oh no, I didn't. I should have clarified. I applied for the 2yr Columbia MPH.Did you apply to the 1 year MPH too?
