How do decisions arrive?

<p>I know that there is a whole thing that u can get into Columbia's system with PIN and password but do they also send u an email with the decision? And if they do send an email, what is the subject line for:
Acceptance
Waitlist
&
Rejection?</p>

<p>Thx to all who respond!</p>

<p>They do send an e-mail, but it does not contain your decision. It just reminds you that decisions are posted, tells you your PIN, and gives you a link to the page. The subject line will be the same for everything--should be something like "Columbia Admissions Decisions are Available".</p>

<p>If you want to find out as soon as possible, though, you're better off going to the application page itself and just hitting refresh around 5pm. The e-mail won't arrive until a little later in the evening (it was 15 minutes later for the small ED pool; might be much later for the large RD pool). Hope that helps.</p>
