does everybody get this? I also got this form on IDOC and I’m not sure the purpose of the form as Columbia is need-blind (?)
Yes, I think everyone gets this, and for that same reason, I was confused on the purpose of the form. Also, I haven’t applied to any scholarships yet, so technically I couldn’t fill it out completely.
Does anyone know if Columbia will be sending out admitted packets in the mail to those accepted through ED soon?
Hi,
I hope you are well. I was wondering if you can elaborate on your ec and stats that got you into columbia. Thanks!
A couple of other people I know who are applying ED to Columbia are experiencing this on our financial aid portals, whereas others can still see their documents. Is this a sign on an acceptance/rejection? Or does it mean nothing at all?
Read nothing into it. It means nothing regarding admissions decisions.

They said that their system will be deactivated beginning December 4 to prepare for the release of admissions decisions.

Hi! At the end did the people that still had their documents tab get in? And, did the people that didn’t have it get rejected?

I think I demonstrated a lot of initiative and leadership in terms of school-wide activities and did not spread myself too thin overall. I had things to talk about that connected my application together.
