Thanks @kozarts. I really do hope so. I guess the next best thing is to actually make it to Columbia 
cross my fingers
It’s been a while since we’ve heard any news and the May 1st EA decision date is approaching. Anyone hear anything positive or negative?
@astrocpa Nope, still waiting.
Not yet… [-O<
@.@
I got in last week, very exciting. I received an email informing me of an update to the app, which happened to be acceptance, then received the package a few days later. It was almost exactly 8 weeks from when every document was officially turned in.
Yayy! Congrats @mpkzaa! If I may ask, when exactly did you turn in your application? Again, congrats to you
Thank you @lexxym. I was submitting materials through the month of January and the beginning of February. My application was in about a month before my transcripts, test scores, letters, etc. My entire application with all necessary documents was completed and pushed for review the 15th of February. My acceptance was on the 15th of April.
Hey Congrats!! @mpkzaa Where did you see the update(acceptance)?
@nuwhere I got an email that said my application had been updated. I followed the link the email provided but I believe it was just to the standard gs application manager page.
Has anyone heard that some EA applicants have to wait until July 15th to receive their admissions decision? On other forums from previous years (2013) it stated the GS admissions dept was unable to reach a decision by May 1st. The GS admissions dept then reviewed the EA applicant with the Regular Decision (June 1st) applicants. I submitted by application on Mar 1st so I’m hoping the 8 weeks from the date of submission (May 1st) works for me as it did for @mpkzaa. I am a Sales Executive on Wall Street for a multinational software company and overall my application was strong except that I have not attended school since 1999. In that time I worked as a Financial Advisor from 1999-2013 including seven years with a piece of a broker-dealer. Recco from a Columbia alum, strong personal story and I took the GSAE exam prior to submitting my application. Does anyone know how much the lack of schooling since 1999 will affect my decision?
I spoke to the office of undergraduate admissions today and was told that decisions will be sent out via fedex throughout the first week of May. @GSAPS35 I was told that, regardless of acceptance or rejection, ALL decisions are sent out through the mail. My application was completed and pushed for review by the second week of March. I’m anxiously waiting a decision and hope to hear back soon. On a side note, I sent in my “New Student Scholarship Application” and was prompted to a screen which said… “Thank you for your submission! Scholarship decisions are made once you have been admitted to the School of General Studies. Please review the Financial Aid information that is included in your acceptance packet.” Note that the last sentence refers to an acceptance packet. Is this an inclination that I may have been accepted or did this happen to everybody ?? Looking forward to hearing back from someone that can share their thoughts with me.
I called the admissions office this morning and was told that ALL decisions will be posted on the application management page. She said they will begin sending emails out today.
@sasaskid Really? The application management page? Is that the page that updates our application status? Kind of odd how they are doing it that way. I’m guessing hey may have had a rush of applications for this Fall. Well, I am now constantly checking my email, hah. I just want to know already!
@TedNicholas Not so sure if that indicates if you got in or not. However, I have read that if you can actually log on their financial aid website that usually means you’re in
Accepted！Just got an email states that I can log in my account to see my decision
I am seriously about to shit my pants. Just give me the damn e-mail!
I didnt complete all the official documents before march 20th - will I still get my admissions decision by May 1st
I still had the Application in by march 1
Has anybody received any email from GS today thus far ??
Got the acceptance email yesterday! Now just waiting on the FedEx package…Anyone have any idea when those will be sent out (if they haven’t already)?
