Yes… Anyway, good luck.
Good Luck everyone!
Anyone applying to Williams? Do they also release on the 5th?
Did anyone get this email?
The Columbia community is committed to environmental responsibility; in keeping with this commitment, we will provide some admissions decisions only online, not via regular mail. You may request that a copy of your decision letter be mailed to you after you receive it online; further instructions will be available when you check your decision.
Yup I got it! Also, did everyone’s financial aid portal change? I can no longer track/see the documents I previously submitted.
Yup got that email as well…1 week to go!
@SmartJarhead Hey I see you on all the threads. What’s your top choice and how many places did you apply to ?
I got the email as well, guess they don’t want to waste paper on rejection letters :)) jk we’ll be fine
@Capital_Dan Lol! You’d think that $85 application fee would at least get me a paper rejection letter xD
@Strictly56 Yes, my financial aid documents were removed as well. Did this happen for anyone else? I no longer have the documents/messages tab in my account.
@thehoff007
Yes. I remember they said in the beginning that we would only be able to check the status of our documents during a specific time frame.
Chance me!

@hdaviirus Decisions come out Friday. I don’t know what good a chance post does at this point. Best of luck.
@thehoff007 I was just curious what people thought about my chances was all… good luck to you too
I should probably post at least once on this thread before Friday comes and decisions are released. Good luck to everyone! No matter what happens, we have all worked extremely hard and are lucky that we can even consider applying to Columbia
Anyone who applied for transfer this year get waitlisted last year? Harvard and Columbia are my top two schools rn so getting into Columbia would be a dream come true.
I would be honor even if I got waitlisted =3
They didn’t admit any waitlisted applicants last year. I am assuming wl=rj
Welp there goes all my hope and dream~
My midyear report was lost in the mail and I sent an electronic copy about a week ago, I’m super worried this will reflect poorly on my application… Can anyone offer any insight on this?
