<p>And I’ve talked to the department head of linguistics at Columbia which will be some pull.</p>

<p>Reason transferring: My college does not have the program I want to study(Linguistics)</p>

<p>… you know that columbia doesn’t have a linguistics major, right?</p>

<p>[Applied</a> Linguistics at Teachers College, Columbia University](<a href=“http://www.tc.columbia.edu/academic/AppliedLinguistics/]Applied”>Applied Linguistics & TESOL | Arts & Humanities | Teachers College, Columbia University)</p>

<p>you linked to one of the graduate schools, and it wasn’t pure linguistics anyway.</p>

<p>20 sticks. I didnt received any.</p>

<p>yep, on the financial aid email said “our decision will officially be released on the 15th”</p>

<p>violaghost and gobacktoschool2005: Did you apply for financial aid?</p>

<p>^
rite, I do have that email. Dont be panic. It’s useless, comon, it’s Columbia! I will just wait in peace.</p>

<p>i love sarkozy.</p>

<p>dudess… the physic’s exam was ok but no Columbia mail mate…
The 15th is just too far</p>

<p>The concentration is under the leadership of Alan Timberlake, he is also the head of the Slavic Studies Department. It is taught by around 5 teachers, and is a viable course of study at Columbia. I also applied under Slavic Studies, but with an interest in their linguistics program.</p>

<hr>

<p>All decisions will be released on the same date for all applicants and by May 15th.</p>

<p>While, there is not set date, it is very likely you will hear around May 5th.</p>

Cheer up man. Just wait for the official decision to come in. In the meanwhile, do what I am doing right now, watch LOST whilst praying like a mad man.</p>
