Columbia GS Fall 2021 Early/Regular Decision Thread

I did not receive any email, the portal updated itself and I just checked it

Damn… under my status it still just says ‘submitted’

Your status update should appear above “Verify Adress”, it’s a little tricky to find haha

Oh thanks! You mean where it says recent activity? I only have something about my fee being waived but that’s it…ugh lol

No, no. I mean on top of the Verify Adress section, not below. It should literally say “Status Update” in bold, maybe it is not there at all haha :frowning:

Oh yeah no status update on mine either. I guess I’ll play the waiting game all over again lol

Yeah that doesn’t appear on my application. I guess im still in the waiting game then. Above verify address it just has the check list for what’s required with my reference number

Did anyone get a phone call today? Ugh, two more months in this neck of the woods.

Did anyone get accepted?

Hey guys so I’ve been scrolling thru this thread for months now eagerly waiting for our decisions. I’m happy to say my portal just updated and I was accepted!! I can’t believe it…never thought this could be possible!

Is there any way to find out why you didn’t get in? I was rejected.

Thank you so much!! I didn’t do well my first time around in school and didn’t think I would have a second chance so I’m very excited for this opportunity! Hoping everyone hears back soon!

Here’s my timeline just in case you’re curious :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

  • January 12: Submitted Resume

  • January 19: Submitted Application along with the Educational Financing Autobiographical Statement and Optional Writing Sample

  • January 19: All transcripts received by GS

  • January 20: Submitted Required Essay

  • January 21: Received email from Columbia with CUID

  • February 10: Received another email (non-stock) from Columbia confirming my application was under review

Would you mind sharing your stats?

My recommendations weren’t submitted by my recommenders until around that date too. Maybe our applications were pushed back because of this? I just scheduled an appointment to speak with admissions on Weds so I can find out whats up

Great idea! Perhaps I’ll do the same. Thanks :smiley:

I was accepted today! Such a long road, feels really exciting. Hoping for a bit of merit aid to make it a bit easier. Is anyone going to take advantage of the summer early start?
