Columbia GS Fall 2018 Early/Regular Decision

@88997654 not a bad sign. Im still waiting on mine. I applied by the 3/1 deadline and haven’t heard anything but an email confirming my spring semester grades this morning. High hopes. We will be good :slight_smile:

@yellowstone99 definitely not a bad sign. Meant to say this to you but said it to @88997654 hey I don’t think your chances are low. If you applied by the 3/1 deadline then you’ll know by the end of the day today. I spoke to an admissions officer and I’m getting mine today

@yellowstone99 I agree with younganddumb18 because it wasn’t a straight rejection and they want to see you more thoroughly. Good luck for the interview! and guys check your status on the application portal. I got my result before I receive an email. Good luck to everyone!

and @Locale1776 I guess it was a good sign!

Has anyone heard anything today? It’s getting pretty late in the UK and I still haven’t received anything which is making me ridiculously nervous!

Hey guys I’m new to this thread. Are any of you guys vets? I finished my application a few weeks ago, so I’m not expecting anything anytime soon. I’m just curious!

I’m on active duty right now so will be a vet by the fall.

@yellowstone99 Hey how did your interview go? I have one tomorrow morning. Do you mind letting me know what did they ask you?

@Holatree Sorry… I have an interview this Friday. I hope your interview goes well!!! I think they just want to know a little bit more about you. Could you share your interview experience?

@yellowstone99 Omg you are still up yeah I will let you know for sure! Good luck to you as well!

@jc0611 @younganddumb18 thank you guys. I am really trying to think positively. I hope this goes well since I only applied to this college.

@Holatree I guess they are gonna ask specific questions about you. your intended major, book recommendations, your plans for the future, blemishes you may have in your past. Good luck !!!

Good luck to yall with interviews!

Hi everyone! For those of you who have received a decision, when did you apply? My application has been complete since 3/29 so just trying to get an idea of when I’ll hear. Good luck to everyone with interviews or waiting to hear!!!

@ldub9715 My application was complete as of 3/1 and I heard back last Wednesday, 4/25!

Good luck to everyone with interviews!

Mine was completed 2/12 and hear back on 4/27

@yellowstone99 @Holatree I didn’t have an interview, but I saved these interview questions from last years’ thread (someone posted this after his interview) just in case I might have to prepare for an interview. I hope this helps! Good luck for your interview!!
-why your major
-explain mindset of high school ( or whenever in your acedmia your grades were mediocre)
-biggest challenge if you do get admitted?
-favorite books you read
-full time/part time?
-core curriculum

Completed with supplement material 3/18. Recieved offer. 4/26. If you finished your app after 3/20 youre likely gonna be regular decision.
I didnt get an inteview. But I wish everyone good luck on it. A good friend of mine just got into Haas at Cal. Most likley through his interview. He had great grades but no extraoridnary extracurriculars since he had to work full time. So they were on the fence about him. This is a great opportunity for anyone to sway the commitee in their favor.

  1. When is the deadline to pay the $500 deposit?
  2. Has anyone already received their decision in the mail and did it include financial aid information?

@ldub9715 There is usually a 20 day grace period for any supplementary paperwork. I was told they can still review your application if you upload unofficial documentation while official copies are in the mail. I completed my application on February 28 including my essay and any unofficial documents. All my official documents arrived by March 16. I submitted my old official SAT scores along with my application but I also took the GSAE on April 10th for an updated test score that better reflects my capabilities now after directly speaking with the director of admissions. I received my acceptance letter April 26. Your entire application should have been completed within the grace period for documents. Based on your completion date, your application is probably in the regular decisions pool for June. You can always confirm your application status by calling the admissions office directly.

@imanormalalien I’m not sure when the deadline is (can’t seem to find a date in the admit portal), but I did receive my decision in the mail a few days ago and there was no FA information. It had my acceptance letter and a couple of sheets with information on orientation activities and other bits to get me acquainted with the school.
