<p>so that you can track your application.</p>
<p>not yet, i submitted my application on dec 31</p>
<p>i received mine a few days ago...you should be getting an e-mail soon</p>
<p>i sent mine dec. 29th and got a pin jan. 4th</p>
<p>yep i received my pin several days ago as well</p>
<p>I lost mine... its somewhere in the house, but I got it a while back..</p>
<p>i was checking my email and i noticed that i in fact did have the pin because columbia sent it to me quite quickly after I had submitted my app.....it simply got lost in all the email. whoops!</p>
<p>Does the email explicitly mention the PIN or is it tucked away in the emails they send?</p>
<p>they send you your PIN and the link where you can track your application materials in a separate e-mail</p>
<p>the link and the PIN that I received are just used to access the same site where you actually applied to columbia online....</p>
