If it’s any consolation, I also haven’t heard back and I submitted on Feb 12 with all materials in by Feb 25th. We’ll hear back eventually and at least we’re not in this boat alone! :relaxed:Best of luck!

Does everyone think they’ll release decisions for the next two days or just wait until the first? Now that I had to respond to an email addressing my application I’m not even sure what to expect anymore. May 1st is Saturday so don’t think they’d be releasing decisions?

Congrats to those who got accepted today!! I applied on march 1st, still no updates and no emails asking about my application. I feel so anxious. Is anyone else in the same situation? It seems like many people got accepted today, so does it mean it will most likely be a rejection letter for me?

I literally applied February 4th for early decision and just got an email today asking about my current courses. So stressful. Seriously hoping they get ahold of me tomorrow

Let’s try to think positively, I don’t believe that they already released all the thousands of applications that they have to for next fall.
And it’s only early applications they are normal too … still waiting for any decision and I send all my materials by February 27 …
We will be fine , I have no doubt :slight_smile: !

congrats! would you mind sharing your stats?

Not sure if you were asking me or someone else who was accepted, but I’ll post mine:

HS GPA: 4.0
College GPA: 4.0
Berklee College of Music online 2 semesters
4 years as a professional musician
140ish thousand streams on Spotify
Several regional songwriting awards

I switched careers because i wanted to be a part of something bigger than me that heals people directly. So I decided to go premed and apply to Gs. I’m honestly terrified.

It updated at 5:00, but it didn’t update on my phone, it only updated on my laptop. I don’t know why

Not today. Here’s hoping for tomorrow. You think they’ll release decisions on the first even though it’s a Saturday?

I know how you feel right now, and it sucks. I don’t think they’ll release decisions on a Saturday but I could be wrong though. It might be that decisions will come out on the 5th as it’s a Wednesday.

But I’m sending positive vibes that you get a decision sooner! Just a few more days and it’ll all be worth it :smiley::crossed_fingers:t4:

So I was thinking the same thing but since I’m part of the early decision pool that seems ridiculous lol I applied ED for a reason cause they said we get decisions by May 1st, and I don’t want to waste $159 committing to the other school lol. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow. I’ve looked at other years threads when the first of May was on a weekend and they still released decisions on Thursday and Friday so here’s hoping.

Yeah actually a friend of mine said he got his decision today but he said he didn’t get in. So a decision might come out tomorrow. Good luck to you! I think you’ll get in if they asked you to provide info on your current courses. I have a good feeling you’re going to get accepted :crossed_fingers:t4:

Thank you! I really appreciate it! I sure hope so. It would be a great opportunity. I got in to NYU SPS which is like their version of a non-traditional school but I think Columbia treats there students better lol and I think I’d have great job opportunities by going. Congratulations again on your acceptance!

Accepted.

Here is my status, hope it helps.

In the essay, I mentioned my passion for my chosen major and what I did to explore the field. The most important thing is that I mentioned Columbia is always my dream school, and I wrote a lot about why Columbia attracted me, I think let them feel your passion for your chosen major and Columbia are very important.

Were you accepted today? What time? If you don’t mind me asking lol. Congratulations!

Tell me, how many times did you refresh your portal when you saw that he or she got in today? Lol I probably would’ve refreshed it at least 100 times already lol :joy:
