Fall 2016 Admissions

@T2016M they offered me 11,000 GS scholarship.

I did the GSAE yesterday and I found it tough… I hope other parts of my application can outshine this :S

@T2016M will do! I will keep checking in this case!

Happy I could help!

Has anyone received housing yet guys? i know it comes out July, but maybe they expedite in some cases?

I’m taking out some loans and I can’t apply for them until I have the exact, or approximate numbers, and housing fees are a huge part of this.

Hey, was wondering if anyone here planned to work full time while going to Columbia? Also, is there anyone who is reapplying to GS?

Just got my acceptance email at 5:30 today!

Hi guys, congratulations to all those who were accepted. I hope to meet you this fall in NYC.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience or knows of an academic advisor who specializes in advising non-traditional students with academic and financial aid matters.

I recommend that you check out the Academic Resource Center at Columbia GS. It’s an amazing resource for students that have to polish their study habits and skills. They also provide mentoring programs for producing scholarship and fellowship applications.

https://gs.columbia.edu/academic-resource-center Look at the links on the right hand side of the page.

For those accepted: Which majors are you going for. I’m going for Computer Science, focusing on the Graphics and Vision track.

Cheers!

Congratulations to everyone accepted! I also received my acceptance yesterday at 5:30 and was so pumped!
I will be going to the July 7 planning day. Look forward to meeting everyone!

Has anyone attended one of remote academic sessions? I was wondering the difference between the remote and the normal academic session.

So I submitted my essay (all required documents) last Monday. About when would I hear back from Columbia? Does the application portal update to say “Application Completed?”

I’m doing my planning session on the 7th as well. I’m hoping to major in financial economics.

Hi @Ozz2277, I’m coming to GS this fall too. I’m also majoring in Computer Science - AI track. Should we have some private chat ? :slight_smile:

How long did it take those who were accepted to receive their acceptance package in the mail? I received my decision June 8th through e-mail but have yet to get anything via snail mail.

Hey guys, I have submitted my application by the deadline of June 1. Can anyone told me how long it gonna take for the final decision?

I am an international student with five year break from hs… in the hospital…

4-8 weeks. I got an email 3 weeks and 6 days after everything was complete.

Thanks, mine completed in mid June, still ways to go…

Same here, finished submitting everything on June 20th. Hopefully will know by end of July.

Any news on housing guys? Do you think theyll start deciding sometime next week?

Yeah, I am also anxiously awaiting housing. We (my wife and I) are coming from OKC and are really hoping for an unfurnished university run apartment. Those subsidized prices!

Blessing~~~
