Columbia University '13 EARLY DECISION

<p>what is the financial aid email about?</p>

<p>Not much. It just says:</p>

<p>"Dear ___,</p>

<p>We appreciate your interest in Columbia University. Your application has been received and has been assigned the following Applicant ID: xxxxxx."</p>

<p>and then has a bunch of information on who to contact or what to do if you're missing financial aid forms and the like.</p>

<p>...but they haven't gotten the financial aid tracker up yet and say they need any missing forms by Dec. 4th---I assume that means that the tracker will be up pretty soon?</p>

<p>haha I came on here to see if I was the only one who just couldn't figure it out..
phew I'm glad I'm not :]</p>

<p>I put down economics as my major</p>

<p>haha i just got the email. all i've been able to get is that it says "Financial Aid Status: Applied for Fin Aid" under the general app status</p>

<p>yeah I got my ID a while ago too, but the subject of this one is "Columbia Financial Aid Application Update‏" and I guess they're referring specifically to tracking your financial aid.</p>

<p>mhm. i haven't had any success with the fin aid tracker. hopefully they'll get it up and running monday? and it's annoying how they say don't call the fin aid office, just fax the missing documents. but how are we supposed to know what's missing?? haha. ohhhh columbia. oh and when are we gonna know the date?? AHHHH</p>

<p>my first trimester grade won't be ready untill next Tuesday. Is it too late? Or is it okay to send it by then?</p>

<p>did anyone else receive their Columbia ID on the very last day ti was supposed to arrive? i.e. 1 whole month after you submitted?1</p>

<p>I still haven't gotten the email, it's been longer than a month, and my app online still doesn't have my ID, but I called a few weeks back and they told me they had everything lol.</p>

<p>lol spazz i'd suggest calling up the admissions office and ask for it. I got mine and the lady was really nice.</p>

<p>how does the track application work anyway. Do we just go and check in mid december and it'll tel us whether we get rejected, deferred or accepted?</p>

<p>glockenspiel, i put psych as my major too. i had other possibles as french studies and visual art, but i just hope we wont be "filtered" out cause psych is common =/</p>

<p>and yeah the fin aid thing just says that cu doesnt have the online tracker ... haha so hopefully itll be up soon? and im guessing the email we get will tell us accepted/deferred/rejected, im not sure if itll be on the tracking site. </p>

<p>ahhhhhh i can not waittttt for resultssssssssssss</p>

<p>i put art history as my major...</p>

<p>i put music</p>

<p>operations research ftw</p>

<p>anthropology</p>

<p>political science</p>

<p>Classics :]</p>

<p>unfortunately financial engineering</p>

<p>poli sci. i should have put something random and unpopular. i wonder if that would have helped me...</p>
