Long wait…

Tomorrow is a probable date (2nd Fri of May). Inshallah (hopeful), we have a great number of acceptances, and we get to meet on campus!

Yep, after the gap-year notification deadline…

When is that

Has anyone received any calls about waitlist offers today? Or will they be coming out on the 15th/tomorrow

Maybe the 15th? IDK.

Nothing so far… any news or updates?

they probably start the search on monday when their back to work, plus this could drag out based on majors needed to have well rounded class

Why do you guys think SEAS used the waitlist (a week or so ago) while the college didn’t yet?

IDK why, but when I’ve sent an update email to the admissions, their answer contained this phare “as we evaluate the waitlist over the summer”. Could anyone call the admissions (I can’t because I am not from the US) and ask if they are going to release the decisions in May?

I think they go through and look at majors and “class make up”. It is my understanding that they make decisions based on filling in gaps and evening out classes.

This may also help them to meet minimum/maximum lecture sizes for core or major requirements. They may add to groups where there was less yield. We have no way of knowing where that may be. It could be that Georgetown siphoned off poli-sci. majors :eye::crossed_fingers:t3:.

This’s interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Same boat here (int’l), so saying “hello” overseas takes a fortune. If anyone can try and take one for the gang calling the admissions office about the waitlist scene of Columbia college, we’d appreciate it.

Are they open for calls on Sunday? If so I can call right now.

They’re closed on Sundays; they open at 9AM on Monday

yeah their hours r Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
