Just got an email that decisions are starting to go out next week. It said that there is no relationship between time and the decision you receive. They are looking at the applications on a rolling basis. Good luck everyone!
Just got this email as well said all decisions should be in by late April ugh I cannot wait for this waiting game to be over

Late November. I'm assuming I didn't get a checklist because I had everything in on time.
I think if you have all the requirements completed, then there is no point in them sending you a checklist. I think the checklist is just to show you/remind you of your outstanding requirements. I could definitely be wrong.
I got this as well. Fingers crossed!
Did you see that where we are seeing "Application Status: Submitted"?
No it's like a link at the bottom that shows up that decision made 3/25
Are you currently in Columbia's OT program? I heard they have a part time program as well. I am trying to do more research as to if part time would be more beneficial but cannot find anything online
No I'm not, I didn't get in last year. I have a friend that attends now, and I don't think they have a part time program from what I understand.
They have a 3 year option as opposed to the 2 year (24 month) option, and that would have you complete the program at a slower pace, not sure if that would open up free time for research though cause I assume your schedule would still be pretty busy..
Do you have any idea how many applications they usually receive? and do you know, from your friend that attends, the demographics of Columbia's cohort? How big the program is, are they mostly people coming from undergrad or people that have had work experience and go back to school??
soooooo, no one has heard back right??

this is nerve wrecking
Just because we haven't heard back doesn't mean they didn't start sending out acceptances 😉

I did as well I'm thinking maybe they are releasing decisions in last name order?
Psychology major and education minor
Gpa: 3.86 overall 3.9 prereq
40 observation hours
Worked as a TA for a statistics class
Worked at a summer camp for underprivileged girls interested in the sciences
Also various other extracurriculars
Just found out I was accepted! Anyone definitely going there?
yikes i applied there 11/28
Hmm, idk cause my last name is early in the alphabet. So if thats the case I should hear this week or next week. I feel like it's randomized and they just want to stagger the decisions because tons of people probably contact them after seeing their admissions decision.
Financial aid is due by march 30 but decisions I believe are not due till June 29th
I just got accepted yesterday! (was totally not expecting it.) For those of you who gave attended the program, could you give me a sense of how challenging you found the curriculum?
3.73 undergrad GPA, major: advertising. higher GPA with prerequs, but I have't calculated it in total.170
45 hours of shadowing and 170 volunteer hours in the rehab department of a hospital.
I also worked for six years in marketing for a publishing house in Minneapolis.

Did anyone on here apply to nyu too? If so, which one are you leaning more towards. I am trying to compare the programs online.
I applied to nyu as well but to their two tiered ms/otd program but was waitlisted
I received an email today saying that decisions are due April 1st...
I just got this email too I mentioned June 29th because it was only date mentioned on all the forms they gave us

I got in too! But I would like some insight on how financial aid works. I would love to go here but it's just so costly. Anyone know how much financial aid they usually give?
How much is tuition and fees for the 2 years?
When I went to their information session they said it was around 75,000 for 2 1/2 years or more if you want the pro-longed slower version of 3 years. You have to include living costs too in the city. I might be wrong though, hope that helps!
its 75 for one year
That's crazy
