Fall 2013 Early Action

<p>So since there isn't a thread for this fall's Early Action applicants yet, I thought I'd start one. Did anyone apply??</p>

<p>Yes, I did. Vet, just finished my first semester at a school in chicago and looking to transfer to G.S. </p>

<p>I wasn’t planning on posting here but now that I think about, a lot of the people who posted in past G.S. threads got accepted. So maybe its good luck? </p>

<p>Submitted on February 28th, still waiting on my columbia ID.</p>

<p>haha that’s quite true, a lot of people got accepted from the last fall’s thread. </p>

<p>I moved to the US from Russia and have been attending different community colleges. Really excited about the prospect of studying at GS!</p>

<p>I submitted part I of the application on Jan 19th and received my CUID two days after. It might be taking them a while to get back to you because they have already started reviewing the applications.</p>

<p>I applied Feb. 28th, and am still awaiting my Columbia ID. Are there only 4 people (including me) that applied for Early Action? I’m surprised!</p>

<p>yeah this semester’s thread is extremely quiet compared to other semesters. Maybe this is a good thing?</p>

<p>hglmel, I’m sure there are more people, they are just not on CC or don’t feel like posting. I am surprised though that there are no other threads for the fall. Last year a lot of applicants posted here.</p>

<p>What are you guys majoring in?</p>

<p>computer science</p>

<p>@Denbal87 - Very true. </p>

<p>I hope this means we have a better chance of getting in. I really do want to go!</p>

<p>I am (hopefully) majoring in Human Rights.</p>

<p>hglmel, I didn’t know Columbia offered a humans rights major, sounds very interesting! I plan - hopefully as well - to double major in biology and cultural anthropology. Now that I know about it, I would be delighted to take classes on human rights since this subject is directly related to my interests within cultural anthro. </p>

<p>It could be that there are less applicants, but also, as aicccia pointed out, this semester’s pool could just be less sociable. In any case, I don’t wanna think about it too much since there’s always a chance they will reject you. If I knew that the chances were good and got rejected, I would feel even worse than if I didn’t know at all. lol</p>

<p>Where is everyone applying from this semester?</p>

<p>Does any know when they will make the decisions? 3 weeks after the deadline Mar. 1st? Thank you…
also, most ppl who posted in past GS threads got accepted? wow… call me superstitious but i’m here.</p>

<p>StuntZ, I am in New York City, where are you applying from?</p>

<p>fy2140, according to the thread from last fall, the first decisions were announced in late March. Some people that were accepted didn’t hear until after May first though.</p>

<p>@aicccia
you mean CUID the number? not the physical ID, because you only get one once you are accepted</p>

<p>Thanks @StuntZ
I applied early birds, i guess the result could be coming soon, but not after May (cz the early birds action wouldn’t make any sense then)</p>

<p>When I talked to um they said it was 6-8 weeks after your application was completed…but i think the earliest decisions get mailed today.</p>

<p>I’m applying out of New Jersey, and good luck to everyone hopefully i’ll be see all you all in the fall.</p>

<p>Thanks StuntZ, best of luck to you as well!</p>

hi StuntZ, you are accepted? congratulations! how do you know they started mailing decisions, i thought they will do it in emails. this week is spring break, i don’t know if they are still working. btw, who is um? good luck to all the compulsive-email/mailbox-checking buddies out there. i’m applying from new york, although i don’t think this is relevent.</p>

<p>I just found out that one of my transcripts that I ordered a month ago wasn’t sent out. I am so upset. I was already hoping to hear something within the next few weeks – silly, I know, even without the missing transcript – and now I bet I will have to wait until May. :(</p>

<p>@denbal87 they told me they will call you if they are missing something, i don’t think it’s gonna be as late as May, they just haven’t reviewed your application yet. they just started reviewing i guess. good luck denbal</p>
