it was a good run everyone! You’re all very talented, don’t let this one school shoot down your aspirations. Most successful people didn’t become successful because of where they went to school, but because of who they are! We’ll all end up just fine in the end
Thank you! The email was generic and just told me to check an update on my portal. There was then a video and letter on my portal saying I got in.
Thank you! I’m domestic. I’m a white female who applied engineering.
@kaityb24 where were you committed to before Columbia?
@kaityb24 How many days do you have until you have to pay the deposit?
Does anyone think there is going to be a second wave?
anyone have any other updates
So I understand all the speculation about all the decisions being released based on the way the past 2 years have gone, but the waitlist letter on my portal said they “typically” would release decisions no earlier than May 15th. Also I called at the end of April to ask about the waitlist and they said we could here back in the range of May 15th to June 30th. I dont know why someone in admissions would give that timeframe if they already knew that they would release waitlist decisions on the second Friday of May. Also last year when the decisions for the waitlist were officially over, people who didnt get in got an email telling them they were released, which I havent got yet. It might just be that the one person that got in could have been notified earlier which happens sometimes. This is all specualtion but idk I havent given up all hope.
I called today and no joke, quote on quote, this is what the lady said:“They should be coming out very very soon but I would also follow what it says on your portal” and no joke she really sounded like she was hinting at today
.
This is so annoying. Why can’t they just tell us straightforwardly?
@smarttart When enough people enroll from the waitlist they’ll probably release us from the waitlist.
My theory is today is probably the first wave and next friday we will find out if we’ll get released from the waitlist or another wave of acceptances will go out.
anyone found any other posts abt it
I’m waitlisted and still haven’t received any updates from Columbia. Got rejected from the three other Ivies I applied to, so I hope Columbia comes thru.
Are they open tomorrow? Can we call and ask if the first wave of people were accepted today?
Someone commented on my reddit post saying they got off for CC
@smahrf Can you give us a link of your Reddit post?
Its not letting me post it - go to applying to college and searchh columbia or search my username on reddit (shiwanm)
I got off the waitlist today for Columbia college. No word on how many did. Just an email that my decision was updated, and my portal had the admitted letter.
