Fall 2015 Admissions thread

@ccp2lps‌ I think I’m in the same boat; one of my transcripts showed up a week or so late. Finishing up some of my other applications now. Fortunately I’ve been busy enough this semester that I haven’t had too much time to dwell on the wait haha. Hopefully they get our decisions out for the March 1st notification date.

I haven’t received an interview request either. I submitted my app before Jan.15, but my transcripts were not received then… I had my school send it again and they finally received it on Feb. 3rd. So I may have my decision later than March 1st… Hope to receive my interview invitation this week!

@plsofferme‌ My application was complete and submitted a few days before the Jan. 15 deadline. There was a holdup with my transcripts or LORs, and they said that I would receive my decision around the second week of March. So I would suspect that you and I are in the same boat. If I were a betting man, Id say we should know between March 15-30.

@ccp2lps I guess so. Good luck!

Everything was sent in on my app a long time ago save for my SAT scores, which came in on the 12th. I’m actually going to visit NYC on the 4th, and GS in particular. Here’s to success!

I just submitted my app for March 1 early action deadline! Feels great. Good luck to all!

@astrocpa Congrats. Best of Luck to all. Cant wait to hear the good news this coming week from those who applied before Jan 15

@ccp2lps‌ , @plsofferme‌ good luck to you guys; hopefully we hear back sometime next week. @astrocpa congrats on applying and good luck.

Hey! Has anyone applied before Jan.15th done interview with the admission?

@eddnyc I wasn’t asked to interview; was hoping I’d get the chance to though. Did you interview with admissions?

Does anybody know how admissions decisions are sent? I was expecting a slight delay in my decision due to a hold up with my HS transcript. I have not heard anything via phone or email, and was not invited to interview. However, this evening I received a FedEx alert telling me to expect a delivery from Columbia GS on Tuesday. I have a hard time believing that they would pay to send rejections via FedEx, but I don’t want to get too excited yet…

Most importantly, good luck to everyone!

@elipp88‌ I called admissions a few days ago; the person I spoke with said that all decisions would be mailed out. That certainly sounds pretty promising though! Did you receive the alert in the mail? Also, when did GS receive your HS transcript? Mine was delayed as well, hoping that might mean we’ll hear back around the same time. Hopefully you’ll get good news!

FedEx | System Down sends a text/email when someone sends you something via FedEx. You can use the tracking info to see who sent it, ETA, etc.

I submitted everything by Jan 15 but my HS transcript didn’t get there until Feb 3. I was expecting a delayed decision-- hopefully we all find out soon!

@elipp88‌ Congrats. Sounds like you have good news coming your way. Best of luck to everyone else. The January 15 applicants should be receiving decisions this coming week.

@elipp88‌ I signed up for the FedEx alerts; I have a package en route to me as well, supposedly getting it Tuesday as well.

This might not be a good barometer for acceptance, but is anyone able to log in to the financial aid portal through the application tracker?

Congrats Kennebec22 and elipp88! Did GS send notification email to you?

Best of luck to you guys! I’m an international applicant and my transcripts were received late, so I believe my package may not come on Tuesday… But I wish to receive the result early and hopefully it will be good!

Just got an email from GS; I was accepted! I assume the package coming Tuesday might contain FA info. Did anyone else receive an email?

Got my dream offer! Good luck everyone.
