@incogneato T-7 days to go, good luck! It’s been a long wait for me, turned in all my docs as of 1/26 was hoping for a decision by now but no luck so far.
@GoldenState1 Thank you, you too! We’re so close. I’m not expecting to get in (and even if I do, I’m not sure how I’d swing the tuition), but it’s still making me antsy!
@incogneato I’m in the exact same boat! If admitted I’d be hoping for a home run in scholarship: the PALS full ride. Otherwise, the only way I attend is if I don’t get into CAL or UCLA. UC tuition for in-state students just too good to pass up (assuming I don’t get into any Ivies or Stanford which I 100% expect to not get into).
It would be a tough decision to move my wife and two dogs across the country and force my wife to adjust the career trajectory she’s on now, to move across the country and take on 60k+ in debt over the next two years. Between the middle-class UC grant and my work tuition reimbursement, I would almost be going to a UC for free.
@GoldenState1 I understand! It’s a difficult position to be in. We’re in CT right now (we just moved from LA last year!), but deciding to take on that much debt is a huge decision. My husband is urging me to do it since it would be such a great opportunity, but I can’t decide if it would be worth the debt!
That being said, the UCs are phenomenal. I had to miss out on UCLA due to family issues, but they gave me a full ride! I hope that they do the same for you!
Thank you! And best of luck!
Congrats to those who got in! I’m still waiting for the decision and wondering why it’s getting so late…
Anyone else received the result? I submitted my application before 3/1 and now I just cannot stop thinking negative.
@GoldenState1 I submitted my main application by 3/1 and my essay just after the 3/20 deadline. With my school’s transcript snafu, I uploaded my unofficial transcript on 4/17.
I just got a status update today. Under application checklist, I have a red X and “awaiting Official (my College) transcript with satisfactory Spring 2018 grades” written next to it". Does that mean I won’t know the result until I finish spring 2018 and upload my transcript again? That worries me a bit, with the red X and everything. Thank you!
ACCEPTED!! I am completely astonished.
I was so nervous to see the red X, I forgot to check the actual letter. I got in!!!
OMG congrats to all! I don’t have any status update… I hope it’s not a bad sign 
Am I the only one who didn’t receive the result for ED? This makes me so nervous.
I really hope this waiting game ends soon.
@jc0611 I submitted all my materials for ED before March 1st and I still have not heard back. Anyone else in this situation?
I don’t see and red X’s either. Does this mean anything?
@Locale1776 I guess the red X is for those who are taking the spring semester, so they can check their transcript for spring later on. And I think it’s also an indicator of good sign.
I guess I’m not getting in… Submitted all materials by 2/12 and don’t have red x next to any spring grades in my app.
@GoldenState1 let’s try to think positive until we get the official official decision from school. I really hope they send out the decision tomorrow whatever it may be. I really hate this waiting
@jc0611 same here… some people applied after me and already heard back… so idk
Curious if you go to https://gs.columbia.edu/once-admitted and try to register for the Planning Day if your information and CUID auto populate and you cannot change them? Are you seeing this too? @jc0611 @GoldenState1
