<p>Congratulations eiffel75 and TonyInLA!! I’m also very curious to know what offer you received eiffel75 ;-)</p>
<p>As for me I’m still waiting, still no phone call and no mail… I had my interview 8 days ago, we had the 4th of July WE right after which may have delayed a bit everything… Apparently my application is still under review, according to the Director of Operations of CGS. She also let me know that I should received an answer either by this week or the next one… </p>
<p>I try not to be pessimistic and to conclude negative things… but it’s kinda hard, especially while having the feeling to be the only one left waiting ^^</p>
<p>anyway, congratulations again to all those who have been accepted!</p>
<p>@mlleJack- nope, I haven’t left the forum. Still around commenting here and there. I was actually hoping to get something in the mail today, but I guess I’ll have to wait just a little bit longer. I did call the school and they said they sent out a bunch of decisions last weeks and that they will be sending out more soon. The lady I spoke to also added that some students may actually receive letters a little after the July 15th deadline :</p>
<p>But good luck to you all. Hoping for an acceptance letter in the mail bright and early Monday morning!</p>
<p>To be honest I was afraid that some of us did receive the wrong letter and disappeared. I’m so glad it isn’t so!</p>
<p>Thanks for the info moonandstars! I’m done with work at 3pm so after that I’ll be able to see if I’ve received anything… Good thing that I’m busy as hell right now, at least I’m not only focusing on my mailbox :-p</p>
<p>Again, good luck everyone! Let’s hope they don’t torture us too much anymore…</p>
<p>GS will be mailing out final decisions at the end of this week or the very beginning of next week, it was revealed today. I called and a lady said they were basically wrapping up the process. So for those still waiting, hold on just a bit longer. I’m praying for good news.</p>
<p>moonandstars, we had the same idea! I also just called and the women said exactly the same thing. She added that we should receive our decision 10 to 12 days after it’s been mailed…</p>
<p>Let’s pray for good news, you’re right! and let’s pray that this good news arrive very quickly!</p>
<p>I called back. She said 10-12 days is the “outside time frame” to allow the US Postal Service to get the mail out. It could be shorter (overall within the next 2 weeks from now). I’m based in NY but I’m vacationing in California and it took all of 2 days for me to receive something that my aunt sent from NY. I don’t think it’ll take too long.</p>
<p>For everyone who is still waiting, why the delay? Did you guys submit things late?
Because I am still waiting because they had misplaced my transcripts, and I submitted things April 20 for fall but they didn’t update them on file until May 31st.</p>
<p>That’s the same question that kinda worries us so much!</p>
<p>As for me I submitted everything at the last minute so early June (I wasn’t even going to submit it because of several computer problems which made me lost everything several times…)
In my situation I had an interview. Generally it takes a week to receive the decision but it’s been two weeks and still nothing.
Anyway, some of us applied way before this deadline and are still waiting without any kind of info.</p>
<p>Our guess is that we are in some kind of waitlist… but we have honestly no expertise in this domain and those are just assumptions. </p>
<p>I understood on the phone that they are very very busy right now and I suppose they want to take the time to review correctly every application but are running out of time which explains why we are still waiting… maybe they also want to know how many persons turned down their offer to, in return, offer those spots to those on the waitlist ^^</p>
<p>Yeah, bluedoor. They couldn’t find my high school transcript and they received my SAT scores after June 1. But who know what’s gonna happen now…? All we can do is wait. We may be on a waiting list or maybe we’ll all be accepted. Hopefully it’s the latter.</p>
<p>I’m still here and still waiting… much the same as you’ve heard, I got the same response about when I could hear a decision. </p>
<p>I have a question though, is it typical for Columbia to call up previous employers? </p>
<p>I was visting with an old manager today and she informed me that someone had called about me within the last few weeks. She was fairly certain it was Columbia related. </p>
<p>I have been in my current work position for nearly two months now so I don’t think it could have been related as she said they called within the past few weeks (2-3). </p>
<p>Of course we all just have to wait at this point, but curious if this has happened to anyone else or if perhaps my manager was wrong? </p>
<p>They send acceptance packages by FedEx. I received the package at my NY address two days after I received my “acceptance email”. If they made their decision about one’s dossier today, he should get his answer (I hope a good one) by tuesday or wednesday then wherever one may located in the US. Hope this will calm down the most stressed out here :)</p>
