<p>Does anyone know how to track your app with the Applicant ID. Columbia never sent me an Applicant ID, and I was wondering how I could obtain one.</p>
<p>I never got one either so last night I sent an email to <a href="mailto:ugrad-ask@columbia.edu">ugrad-ask@columbia.edu</a> and they replied saying that I should have received it in the mail, but they gave it to me in that email so now I can finally check my status online. Yay.</p>
<p>Just send them a short email. They respond pretty quickly.</p>
<p>If you applied for paper, sometimes you have to call/email them for the ID.</p>
<p>However, if you applied online, the ID is within a very non-important looking letter CU sent you thanking you for completing part I. It's almost at the middle-end of the e-mail.</p>
<p>lindsaylujh, would you mind telling me where you found that e-mail address?</p>
<p>delfire, I checked my email today, and the letter that you are talking about only mentions the applicant ID. It does not tell you what your ID number is; it only says:</p>
<p>You will need a Columbia applicant ID number to track your application from this site. Your ID number will be included in the acknowledgement letter which will be e-mailed to you after your application is processed. You should allow up to 30 days for such acknowledgment to reach you.</p>
<p>collegeperson, the email subject should read "CU Acknowledgement". </p>
<p>It contains your personal information and also asks you if there are any errors.</p>
<p>Hmm.. I haven't received it then.</p>
<p>Someone on this site gave it to me. I couldn't find one anywhere on the website. Other than that, I've never received any email or letter from Columbia.</p>
