Do you only hear if you are taken off waitlist? If you aren’t accepted, did they inform you?
They will send out an email that states that the waitlist is closed when they’re no longer accepting people from it.
Good to know, thanks. Do you know when they’ve typically sent this out? Late June?
Waitlisted students will find out if they are accepted into Columbia “no earlier than May 15 but no later than June 30,” so I assume that they will inform everyone when the waitlist closed by late June. However, it could be earlier if it closes early, but it depends on the number of students that accept it. If most accept early, then it will not prolong.
It looks like Transfer decisions were just released a few hours ago (see Instagram and the Columbia transfer feed). So, it probably makes sense there has been no waitlist movement yet.
hey I’m on the transfer waitlist! I’m a bit confused about the transcripts, should we send official or unofficial ones?
Anyone get email that class is full?

yes(
so no one got off?
made it sound like they didn’t go to waitlist
it’s even not may 15 yet( sad
is that for class of 2026? which school?
“Our incoming class is full, which leaves us with the regrettable task of releasing you from our waitlist so that you may go forward with your current plans for the coming year. We recognize and applaud your record of academic and personal achievement and regret that Columbia will not have the benefit of the contributions you could make here. We fully expect that the college community where you will matriculate this fall will be made richer by your academic and personal contributions.”

Yes got same email.
do you guys think they accepted anyone from the waitlist? like it seems kinda strange to me… i haven’t heard from anyone accepted
Do you know if the full class also applies to the transfer waitlist?
trust the emails from columbia. if you didn’t get the email about full class, then no i guess
Is it just an email or was there an update in the application portal also?
I got the email first. I just checked my portal and there is an update with the same message from the email. Definitely a bummer but I wonder if they had a higher yield this year than usual and fully enrolled from accepted students.
