I’m so nervous about this decision. I’m vacationing in Scottsdale and the status of my application is literally all I’m thinking about lol
Hey guys. Has anyone heard from FA yet?
I wonder if some decisions will go out this evening.
I applied originally on 9/1 and still haven’t heard back. I received a concerning email Sunday night (like I did at the end of September) and took the liberty to personally email the admission advisors I had spoken with over the phone up to this point. I received a response by email and they confirmed my application was in the final stages of review and that my wait was because I was being set up for an interview call, which I promptly received the following day.
My final decision will now come at the end of this week, if the committee can find the time to convene more than once. (The committee convenes once per week). Otherwise, I’ll hear back, at the latest, Wednesday, October 11th.
I agree with @transfer136 they are behind due to an influx of applicants. Honestly, I partially expected this. It’s been the same story throughout History after every pandemic. Now add an Ivy League like Columbia saying “Hey, SAT or ACT scores are not required, we won’t make you take an accuplacer test AND heck let’s just waive the $80 application fee too” and you get a wave of potential students who might not have applied otherwise. ? So, feel proud if you make it and don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t. 2020 is a tough year for all!
@upupandaway717 “When” ??I am accepted and speak with FA, I will definitely keep you updated. 
@lilmisseastern Best of luck w/ your interview!
@lilmisseastern Thank you for the update and info! Best of luck on the interview!
I applied on 10/1 and still have not heard back. I chatted with an admissions counselor on Friday just to make sure nothing was wrong with my application and she said my application was under the second round of reviews and if an interview was required, I might hear back after 10/15…
I didn’t get much more information than this so this makes me feel like I’ll most likely be rejected but I’ll cross that bridge when I have to.
What was the weird email you received?
@Throwaway893 The concerning email is just a snippet from one of my previous posts. I applied in early August. But, waited to submit my essay until 8/31 for the 9/1 deadline.
However, mid September I received what I assumed was an auto generated email stating… “It’s still not Too Late to apply by October 1st.” I got a bit freaked and inquired. I found out, at the end of September, that even though all my materials had been received in August shown as attached below, my 
were never changed to 
and this meant I wasn’t included in the 9/1 applicant pool. I was devastated but, they fixed it over the phone that day and I was put into the 10/1 applicant pool.
I received the same email again in October for the November 1st deadline and immediately made another admissions appointment. ?
I am told that sometimes you get an interview and sometimes not but, either way it is not an indication of acceptance. I know it’s hard not to worry (it’s been almost 3 months now for me and I was a mess during most of October) but, it’s seriously just not worth your everyday happiness. It also makes the time creep by even SLOWER… ?
ALSO correction…
**I’ll hear back WED November 11th!
Did anyone receive a decision this evening?
@lilmisseastern Thank you so much for explaining your situation!
I had something similar happen… the upload link for my essay wasn’t working properly so I ended up submitting it under the “optional” essay upload link - it was 12am so wanted to just make sure it was time stamped somewhere on the portaI…
I received an email from admissions informing me that my essay was not uploaded and missing from my application so we quickly fixed as I had actually uploaded it that issue and it showed as uploaded on 10/8 which is also why I probably haven’t heard back yet but regardless, I am glad they gave you a definitive answer on when you’ll hear back!
Sending good energy your way
Anyone hear back yet?
I heard back! Wasn’t expecting it either. Thank you all for the good energy, as I am excited to report…
I got in! I was already signed up for the planning session tomorrow from 12pm - 130pm but, I had to cancel tonight as I have a video shoot, with one of my skaters, for Enfamil Baby Formula. They informed me last night that they rented the ice from 1130am-130pm. Murphy’s Law. ? Anyways, good luck to those still waiting and can’t wait to meet you on the next planning day Friday November 20th from 10am - 1130am!
???
@Throwaway893 Yes, that also happened with my essay. It was my second admission issue. LOL Gotta love technology and our new online lives.
@lilmisseastern Did you receive the decision via email or by checking the admissions portal?
@GSdreamer26 I would keep checking your portal. I was accepted on 10/28 and I still have not received an email.
Did anyone’s status change from submitted? My application has shown submitted status since 9/25 and hasn’t moved. Spoke to different advisor and they tell me different things each time I speak to them.
@transfer136 The actual status didn’t change, but this message populated underneath the application checklist
“When a decision is made on your application you will receive an email directing you to review the status on your application as an update has been made. You should then log on to your status page to review the information.”
That wasn’t there before yesterday. Hoping to hear back from them relatively soon
@joshinthepark I had received that on my application once admission had received all my materials (9/30) and it hasn’t change since.
I received an automated email w/ that message when I completed by application, but it isn’t on my portal. To your point, it could be an indication that a decision is forthcoming.
@GSdreamer26 I hope so! I’ll let you guys know what happens.
