<p>Hi Morrison,
Thanks a lot for the answer…
Tomorrow will be 6 weeks since April 1st.
Hopefully we’ll get the decision soon.
Thanks,
Adam</p>

<p>1) I think they are behind the schedule. I have been waiting longer than 6 weeks. Probably a couple more weeks?
2) Some of the international applicants who applied earlier like in February, reported here that he/she was accepted.
3) Some people said that they use regular mail even if you are accepted. However, I am skeptical about this. Since many foreign countries like in Italy has very unreliable postal system, I think they use private carrier for acceptance notification.</p>
<p>By the way, a link to the Columbia University Financial Aid System Online popped up on my “Track Your Application” page a couple days ago, though I have not received a decision yet. Does anyone experience the same thing?</p>
<p>After your post, I tried mine, I see that link as well. it wasn’t there yesterday</p>
<p>Hi again,</p>
<p>eugeneor thanks for the answer.</p>
<p>I also got the link for the financial aid but I couldn’t activate it…</p>
<p>Did any of you try to activate it?</p>
<p>i tried but it say it couldn’t and something like we can call and tell them it is code ia</p>
<p>Yea, same here.</p>
<p>when did you see yours? mine didn’t appear after i checked yesterday. do you think we should call? did you apply for financial aide? i didn’t.</p>
<p>The first time I saw the new option was yesterday. </p>
<p>I filled in the form for the financial aid (I thought it was an obligation no?). </p>
<p>I don’t know about calling… I have a feeling that we will get the decision very soon…</p>
<p>Do you think this new option has to do with our decisions?</p>
<p>I called and told them what happened. at first she asked me wether I am a current student or a new student I said no, and told them I am an applicant and haven’t recevied a decision yet. And she told me that I don’t need to activate it at this point. She did not say wether this had to do with our decision. I hope its a good sign.</p>
<p>zhaozhao thanks for the update! </p>
<p>I wonder if everybody got this thing.</p>
<p>I wonder the same thing. it was not up there six weeks ago. it must mean somthing right? even i called i still dont have the answer maybe I asked the wrong question. please some one have any idea what this means.</p>
<p>@zhaozhao</p>
<p>Now I am able to log on to the Columbia University Financial Aid System Online. Try using your birthday in DDMMYYCC format as password. I am still not sure if this is something to do with the decision or merely a routine procedure that they do for everyone including those rejected.</p>
<p>I got Accepted!!! I will post my stat once I calm down…</p>
<p>finally some one got accepted. so I guess once you are accepted you will be able to log on to the financial aid page. </p>
<p>But having that link doesn’t really mean anything.</p>
<p>Congratulations to you eugeneor </p>
<p>So you received the package thru regular mail?</p>
<p>@zhaozhao,</p>
<p>I received a phone call shortly after 10AM PST today (the number was “Unavailable”), so I have not received the package yet. I really hope this was not a scam or something… I was told to expect the package by tomorrow or Friday. I live in the West, so I am pretty sure it will be Fedexed.</p>
<p>Here are my stat.</p>
<p>My application became complete on March 26, so I waited 54 days.</p>
<p>Age: 21
Sex: Male
Nationality: Japan, currently living in the U.S.
High School GPA: High School in Japan, Really bad, probably lower than 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
College GPA: 3.9, graduated with an AA from a community college in the U.S. in 2008, attended at local university and earned some credits
ECT: 9</p>
<p>Of course, I had plenty of personal story to tell. I did complete an optional essay, and submitted a picture of myself.</p>
<p>My fingers are crossed, everyone!</p>
<p>so I guess they do call. I live in new york. So maybe a call or not.
So happy for you.
Congrats again. I submitted everything on April 1st. but there was a little problem with my name. so I guess it was on April 7th to be exact.
Well then, they have started giving out decisions for international applicant.</p>
<p>eugeneor congratulations!!!
really happy for you guys who got in.</p>
<p>Another person on the other thread got a positive decision.
So did the person on facebook who wrote on GS’s wall.</p>
<p>I guess we should get the decision any day now.
I still wonder if i’ll get the decision by fedex/mail/phone/email.
It seems like every person got his/hers decision in a different way.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Hi, I just called GS and they told me that my application is still under review.</p>
<p>They also said that I should get my decision in the end of June (???). </p>
<p>That’s so late…</p>
<p>I applied for the International deadline of April 1st. My application was actually completed on March 22nd. </p>
<p>Did any of you got a same response? / What does this mean? </p>
<p>Why don’t they just send me a Yes/No/Waiting list decision?</p>
<p>I received my acceptance via a phone call a few hours ago. 
I should get the packet next week. So excited, eeeee.</p>
<p>Also, CONGRATS to all the people coming in!! 
Hope I bump into you guys next year.</p>
