Congratulations to those who got in!! I really hope there’s more to come from Columbia; I feel I’m so connected to it that it’s hard to let go.

Don’t lose hope, guys. Keep smiling!

Only one art?

Columbia, PLEASE have a new wave.

Is she accepting it? Didn’t she get off of Northwestern too?

Deciding still. Big surprise!

College? Are you in TX?

Can you accept Northwestern and withdraw again?

That was my question too. If you accept one waitlist and the other one comes through after that, what do you do?

Congratulations!!! :partying_face: Take some time to be proud of her. This’s awesome!
I wish her the best at Columbia (or Northwestern) :sparkles:


Columbia, please, please, pleasssseeee accept some more.

Do you guys know if Columbia college offers the Transfer Option (TO)?

They do not

In reddit I only read about people who got into cc?

D is making decision based on which campus will be open in a meaningful way. NW has announced mandatory vaccinations and told admitted students they will be completely “normal” in the fall including sports and classes. She is going to talk to Columbia admissions about what the fall is really expected to look like. Though she will make a final decision by Friday, they gave her 7 days to decide whether to accept the offer so I suspect if there is another wave it will be next Thursday? I hope this is helpful.

The two schools should know each other [quote=“Tex123456, post:158, topic:3517360”]

Hey guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just called Columbia and asked about the waitlist, and was told that everyone will be receiving an email soon. Could mean that they’re closing the waitlist I feel but not sure.

I think no, there must be some people considering gap years, so there will probably be some slots for us. They may just release some general info, for instance that ur applications are under review.
