Nice, congratulations!. What is your stats you are applying with? Worried because I do not have a standardized test score :((
Don’t worry, I didn’t submit test scores either! I think most schools don’t really care about them as much since the pandemic, especially nontraditional programs like GS. My stats are good, I have a 4.0 and various honors, I just hope it’s enough to really put me into consideration

I’m thinking no later than 2pm EST (in 3 hours). I have no basis for this other than I wouldn’t release results later than 2 or 3 in case “unexpected things happen” if I worked in admissions. Also gives the office some time to see what inbound issues and email volume might look like.
anyone else super nervous!?

tell me about it after this I have to wait until mid-late may for the rest of my decisions like fr I wish I could just fast forward
Out of curiosity (since this is the school of GS) - how old is everyone here? I’ll go first - I’m 30 and turning 31 in April. I’m guessing I’ll be one of the older folks applying 
just turned 26. i am a columbia seas alumna!
Just got an email from their faculty. As I expected, it involves questions from the admissions committee about why I want to attend Columbia. All very fair since I’m a pretty non-traditional applicant. Just wanted to let you all know so you know that your decisions may or may not be coming within the next hour or so! Good luck everyone!

I’m 27!
Interesting, is this like an interview kind of thing? Like they want you to reply with your answers?
Yeah just asking questions about why I think the program would be a fit and whether I actually want the rigor of the program. Quick context is that I dropped out of college 10 years ago, worked as an engineer in the Silicon Valley for a while, started a company, scaled that company to be pretty big, and now I’m looking to go back to school. So they’re wondering why I want to given I don’t need to and they’re making sure I’m actually a good fit. It makes a lot of sense given my background.
Honestly, I think the way they’re handling my application should give everyone here a bit of hope that the admission committee is taking their jobs seriously and that they care about the culture of the campus. They could have easily rejected me outright or accepted me, but they decided to dig in. Whatever my outcome is, I’m happy with it knowing they’re actually evaluating everyone.
