Official Columbia University RD Class of 2017 Thread!

<p>^When did you fax them??</p>

<p>Friday night.
Just on the deadline! Columbia’s the only university that required me to fax stuff and I realized that only on Feb 28th!! I was under the impression that it accepts e-mails!!</p>

<p>Oh I faxed them on Feb6. On Feb28, I emailed them that my status is still not updated. They answered back that they have never received my fax. Then I faxed them on Mar1 and also on Mar2. The status hasn’t updated yet!!:(</p>

<p>They received the faxed forms!:slight_smile:
My status updated to “received” on 3/4/2013</p>

<p>Sup. Anyone receive an Egleston Scholar thingy in an overnight package? I think it’s for SEAS, and it’s kind of sweet how they mailed it so quickly as opposed to just sending an email! D’aww!</p>

<p>^If that package is also sent for int’l students, then I will have to cry!!:(</p>

<p>Does one have to apply for the Egleston Scholarship or does the school select automatically from the students who submiited thier application to the SEAS program?</p>

<p>I am an RD applicant. A woman e-mailed me asking me about whether or not I have sent in my IDOC yet and wanted me to keep her updated on the processing. Another person e-mailed me regarding an interview for ASP-- they want to schedule a time for me ASAP. Does this mean they’re potentially interested in me on a higher level/checking me out? I’m just hoping my story and I got noticed, not necessarily assuming they like me.</p>

<p>@florian. It’s automatic.</p>

<p>@spike. Nope, it’s standard procedure.</p>

<p>@randomazn14 I got that package too! Congrats, and hope to see you at the Egleston Scholars weekend.</p>

<p>lvdrlvr- it would be my honor to meet you there!</p>

<p>And they’re paying for our trip too! I almost sniffled with emotion. That’s just…so damn chivalrous.</p>

<p>I know, right? That’s so nice of them; I’ll definitely try to attend. (:</p>

<p>Somebody at my school got a likely to Columbia.</p>

<p>…there goes my chances.</p>

<p>quick question…are decisions coming on march 28? i can’t seem to find a definitive date. thanks, and good luck to all!</p>

<p>Yup decisions come out the 28th. Either at 5 or 6 pm, not sure.</p>

<p>28th. In the evening. There’s going to be a lot of traffic though!! Haha!! :)</p>

A likely letter to another applicant in your school does not mean that you won’t be accepted. You can still be accepted!</p>

<p>Hi guys, I’m new here and a lot of the things here are confusing me. Are we supposed to be interviewed for Columbia? And does everyone get a letter indicating whether or not it is likely for them to be accepted?</p>

Hey there!
Interviews are usually not offered to internationals (it seems like you’re international from your ID) and it won’t affect you in a negative way not to have an interview.</p>

<p>Likely letters are only sent to the best of the best applicants. Only about 100-300 letters are sent out every year. If you get this likely letter, you’re in.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>I never got an interview and I’m not an international. I know people who applied to Columbia at my school got an interview. I applied to Fu Foundation; does that make a difference?</p>
