Columbia GS Fall 2020 Early Action/Regular Decision Thread

Good insight, thanks for letting everyone know.
Political Science.

March 1 to March 5th? But I received an email that I’d receive it by March 1 on the 23rd…?

Urban Studies! :slight_smile:

I received that email too. However because this year March 1st is a Sunday, they might need to have more meetings on the following business days.

March 5th would be the absolute latest; I’m sure many, if not most, will get their decision today around 5pm EST, accepted or not.

In! Woohoo! Congrats to everyone else who the news today :slight_smile:

Did you receive an email or check the portal?

Congratulations btw!!! Hope to see you at Orientation.

Haven’t received an email nor an update on the portal. I’m so anxious aghhhh

Would somebody be willing to take one for the team and make a call to the admissions office to see when the rest are coming out?

I got in too! :slight_smile: Congratulations everyone and see you in September!

Accepted!

Portal. I refreshed at 5:01 EDT and saw a little link to to the “there has been an update.”

Accepted!
congrats on everyone who got accepted as well.

Along with my acceptance letter, they also said that I am required to take the Columbia University American Language Program (ALP) Essay Exam prior to finalizing your course registration. Did anyone else get this message?

I think I got this message because my ACT reading score did not meet the cut off.

Hi @Liuda94 I am a vet.

Question. Did anyone get any information about transfer credit or financial aid yet?

Well, looking forward to meeting you later this year! Havent receive anything about either things you mentioned. I havent even gotten the physical letter or package yet. Only thing I’m working on now is filling out the forms at the newly admitted website.

Congratulations to everyone who got it! Looks like the vast majority of us on this forum did. I was accepted as well, sorry it took me soo long to post. I am an Air Force vet, currently serving as a Reservist in California. I look forward to seeing you guys in New York. Congratulations again!

Congrats to everyone who got in!
I submitted my application yesterday (3/1). Going to be a long two months… Anybody else on the same boat?

@spark4654 yessss

Yes. I called today. Financial aid should take up to three weeks if you submitted fafsa and enrollment plan and scholarship application. Transfer evaluation, preliminary if you still owe official transcripts, usually 2-3 days after acceptance. Good luck. This is a second bachelor’s for me, so if I have don’t have at least 60 credits I will be upset haha.

If anyone get’s their physical letter in the mail, and if it comes with any financial aid or transfer info, please let us know here!

Are there any applicants here who did not take a gap year, but articulated a compelling reason to be considered an nontraditional student? I am planning on saying that my working full time and being a part-timer in community college this year to support my family. Any tips? Thank you.
