Hi @throwaway7259308 and @upupandaway717, congrats on the acceptance! Ive been monitoring this forum for awhile now and just would like to know when you guys submitted your application. I submitted my app on the 30th of August, in time for the priority early action deadline but I still havent heard anything back and have been checking the portal daily as the website states that if you apply by Sep 1, youāll find out by Oct 1. Any info/advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much

My advice for applicants who have questions about the admission process is to make a phone appointment with their admissions team online, they have daily openings.
Best of luck to everyone!
Hello Everyone!
Also brand new to this college confidential board forum.
Applied to Columbia GS Spring 2021 Early Action before September 1st however, there was a technical issue and it wasnāt fixed until late September so, I was unfortunately not included with the 1st Round of Early Action applicants. I was devastated at the time, however, I have been put in with the October 1st applicants and I am now waiting another 4 - 6 weeks to hear back. ??
I got a head start and began some online public classes at LaGuardia Community College. I do not get college credit but, I wanted an early start to my goals.
