@PentaDad I also got an LL with no interview
@Penn1248 Sorry! think I’m trying to be negative so as to quell any expectations and not be too disappointed on decision day haha. @czechivy Thanks for letting us know
@NYCkid1998 I think it says “Required for packaging” for everyone. Unless other people can confirm otherwise
Hey all, I’m new to cc and had a question. I had an interview in late Feb which according to people on other forums is considered a “late interview”. I’m an international student from the UK and had the interview via Skype. Do you think this could be a good sign?
@cvickibe what did the email say (if you don’t mind sharing). I’m the only one apply from my school as well
@Penn1248 I will find out today and let you know. And do find out from your counselor whether he/she received an e-mail from Columbia and let me know.
what’s disbursement in for financial aid checklist thing? some of my files are for packaging and some for disbursement
Disbursement is actually giving you the money
@NYCkid1998 my FA says packaging and disbursement.
I’m thinking that everyone has both “packaging and disbursement” for different docs
My documents only have “packaging.” I received a LL and was named a Rabi Scholar. I also already received their financial aid estimate.
interesting. can any other LL-ers provide their financial aid status? it’s just pure speculation but for some strange reason it’s helping me coping with the wait
@cvickibe my counselor was out today so I couldn’t find out if she got an email but I’ll check again tomorrow
Did anyone get a FA estimate yet?
I initially got a likely letter from Duke. But i then received a letter confirming my acceptance. Same goes for Emory. They have an Essence program where all admitted students attend. @leobabytiger @AnastasiaAliyev
@Penn1248 Turns out the e-mail was just informing my counselor that they will notify her when decisions come out for the one applicant who turns out to be me. I do not know whether others were notified of the same. @dreambig98 They probably couldn’t say those admitted because I am the only one who applied from my school.
@GrapePocky I got my estimate
@NYCkid1998 @JungleJim4232 I’m an international and was deferred in the ED round. My portal after 25th Feb states ‘Required for disbursement’ for 2015 Tax Returns. That was earlier absent and I only had ‘Required for Packaging’ on my portal.
@ms3108 Interesting…

What I find interesting is that all the dates are different, especially that March 15 one. Makes me hopeful 
Although I do have an email in about that first thing, they haven’t replied yet. There’s nowhere to upload it on IDOC.
