What time did you receive your decision?
5:23pm
Ok, thanks. I’ve seen that generally people have received decision around 5 PM est on a Wednesday. Has anyone been outside of this? Yesterday and early today I was answering follow up questions from the admissions committee, so I think I missed this weeks release.
Do you mind sharing what the admissions committee asked you, and when they asked those follow up questions?
Received that email 11:26 AM pst Tuesday 25
The mixed coursework was asking me about some classes that I dropped/ did not have A in during my first semesters when the shut downs started.
Wow those are intense questions!
Thank you for sharing 
I applied for Regular Decision as well. Good luck for both of us!
I don’t mind, as I take it as a good move towards admission and my grades are great - so no sweat.
Good luck to you as well!
I am also EXTREMELY curious about this. It looks like some people who applied ED received their acceptances on Monday, March 1 and I believe I saw one or two people in this thread that posted about their acceptances on a Friday. Now, I’m not sure if those two people that posted about their acceptances on a Friday were actually accepted on a Wednesday and didn’t check/post about it until then.
Yeah idk for sure, I emailed admissions but I am not sure if they will respond. There are a few people that have met that particular time, so we will see if it holds true. I hope i hear something soon as the Committee is obviously looking at my app.
Decisions come out Wednesdays at 5pm EST. The only reason you will get a decision not on a Wednesday is because of interviews/follow up questions (I believe). This is what I had noticed from all of the threads I was reading before my acceptance.
I was asked follow up questions through email on a Wednesday and received my decision exactly a week later on Wednesday at 5pm.

Do you mind sharing what kind of follow up questions you have got?
They asked what courses I was currently enrolled in and what my grades were. Then they asked how I thought I would handle the Columbia core considering some classes would be outside of my interests. I just sent them a picture of my grades and wrote out the name of each class. Then I explained how I was excited for the core because it is the foundation to a Columbia education and I would be dedicated to it just like I have been to to my studies the past two years. I also told them I would be sure to utilize every resource available to me at Columbia.

So it seems like that they ask those follow up questions if you have been taking classes for Spring 2021!
Or if not, any other questions that they were unsure of.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!

Thanks. Thats what i figured, so I will receive a decision this next Wednesday!
Hey everyone!
Hope y’all are doing great! I applied RD - May 15 and got all of my supplements in on May 15 as well. Do you think it will be useful if I ask about the possible decision date for me, or should I just wait?
Do you mind sharing when you got all of your materials in?
I submitted my last item 4/15, and had follow up questions on 5/25 & 5/26, which according to others my decision should come on 6/2 if that help at all. So on the 6th week - if the committee doesn’t have follow up questions you should get a decision. They say 6-8 which seems to be holding up.

Thank you so much! I realize that there are no clear patterns as to when decisions are going to come out - I have my fingers crossed!
