<p>I submitted my app for ED October 31 but haven't received a confirmation email yet. Getting a bit worried, did anyone else not get it?</p>
<p>Oh that is because lots of people probably sent their application around that time, so it might take a few days to sort and organize through all the applicants!</p>
<p>I just got an ID… where can I use it or login? Also what is CSS? Is that for financial aid only?</p>
<p>you cannot actually access your columbia id until November 10. CSS profile is for financial aid. I submitted my application 10/30 and got my ID 2 days later.</p>
<p>Then how will I know about potential interviews or if my package got to the university?</p>
<p>The interviewer will call whatever phone number you listed on your application and set up time/place on the phone.</p>
