Columbia GS Fall 2021 Early/Regular Decision Thread

I’m in the same boat. I would stay positive as some people didn’t have the pending transcripts but still got in. I spoke with one of the Associate Director of Admissions on Thursday and was told that the committee was on hiatus this past week.

Oh dang, so will no decisions be released this week or?

Nothing for me today, they did remove the pending signs on my transcripts since last time I checked tho.

Nothing for me either lol - keeping my hopes up tho

Anyone know if there’s a Facebook/discord for Fall 2021 admits? Trying to connect with some people to talk about how the process is going!

Accepted. Received an email this past Wednesday. Submitted all documents and recommendations in by May 7th. So it basically took 7 weeks for decision.

I see… thanks for letting me know it can take a long time to get accepted as well! It has been super overwhelming to see everyone get acceptances in 2-3 weeks.

For folks who had the admission committee ask follow up questions, how long after that did you receive your decision? I was asked on Thursday and replied on Thursday before close of business.

Had questions on Tuesday and Wednesday with a decision the next Wednesday.

Congrats to those who heard back today. Did anybody apply in May and still not hear back?

I’ve been calling the past few weeks, and have been told every time that I am still under review (but it has been about 7 weeks now). I’m starting to feel like this is not going to be good news, especially since there were those who got accepted before me but applied after I did (per forum).

I don’t think that’s necessarily bad. It took just over 6 weeks for me. None of us can really know how they go through the applications, but I would guess that if you weren’t competitive you would have received a rejection by now.

Interesting, yea I guess no news is good news?? thanks for that input and response

Congrats! I’m still waiting and I applied may 15 so i am hoping for the best!!

Hi! I’ve been following this discussion for a while. I was really excited and grateful to get accepted a few weeks ago.

Have any of you finalized living arrangements? I’m thinking of just commuting this year by train because I live only 40 minutes outside of Manhattan and it’s so close now to the beginning of the school year. Furthermore, I’d imagine many of the good university housing options are already taken for the fall.

I’m really looking forward to meeting you all at the end of August!
