Does anyone believe that Spring Semester will be cancelled or moved online due to rising COVID-19 cases in NYC? How soon can we know?

Admitted student here.

We received this email a few hours ago:

Dear fellow members of the Columbia community,

Looking to the new year, and guided by our public health experts who are closely monitoring COVID-19 developments and the Omicron variant, the President’s COVID-19 Task Force has issued a series of policies and recommendations for all affiliates for January 2022.

For faculty, staff, and students involved in instructional activity, the first two weeks of classes for the spring 2022 semester will be conducted remotely. While much of the undergraduate and graduate community commences classes on January 18, a number of graduate and professional programs begin earlier in January. The two-week remote learning period will correspond with the scheduled start of instruction for each specific program and school.

This two-week remote learning period is designed to minimize disruptions for students who may be unable to travel or who must isolate because of COVID-19. It will also allow a period for gateway testing of all students prior to the start of in-person classes.

This change does not affect access to campus: All students are invited back to campus before and during the two-week remote learning period, but must follow the testing requirements noted below as well as other campus COVID-19 safety measures.

The rest of the email is about the testing policy and booster requirement.

Great. Perhaps resumption of in-person instruction by Jan. 31 seems too optimistic.

Do you mind sharing your stats?

I will not be receiving financial aid or in-campus housing, will this help with my application at all? If so, how much? I currently attend a t-20 and have a 3.58 GPA and a 1480 SAT (I have only done one semester so far).

Hey ya’ll, is anyone here applying to the postbac premed program? I’m applying for the summer 2022 session and I would greatly appreciate some feedback on my essay.
