285

I hope she attneds. Columbia would be honored to have her.

286

does Columbia call students who get off the waitlist or do they only send an email?

287

Hello, does anyone know how the housing application works for waitlisted students? The deadline is approaching but I donā€™t think one can apply with the admission decision pending (correct me if Iā€™m wrong). At the same time, thereā€™s still some probability that someone gets off the waitlist after June 1. What then (as far as I know the housing is guaranteed even on the waitlist)? Does anyone know or could anyone call the housing office (Iā€™m an international student so would be very grateful)?

288

You can only apply for housing once accepted.

289

I heard your housing application will have very low priority (you likely wonā€™t get what you want). I donā€™t know if thatā€™s true though.

Thanks!

It does not really matter because housing for Freshmen is very good. Everybody gets a good room option. Columbia knows about the waiting list and housing connection. Carman and Jay are both excellent, along with Furnald, etc. Not a problem at all.

Only email. But the email goes to both parents and the student. In fact one of the students who tried to transfer to Columbia saw after two years that he was accepted as a transfer. So I think it is important to check spam as well.

294

I will call for you about housing for waitlisted.

295

Thank you very much!

Congratulations to both of you. Columbia alumni love the College. Many of them draw upon their wonderful intellectual and cultural experiences decades after graduation and mine their knowledge and insights gained for use at work, helping other people across the generations. The Columbia education, discipline and Renaissance experience stays within oneself as a ā€˜gold mineā€™ of resource for decades. The Core is invaluable and very well thought through.

They will extend the housing deadline for waitlisted candidates who got accepted later.
