Official Fall 2014 Columbia Transfer Thread

<p>For transfer students, ivies do not release decision on the same day. </p>

<p>Now that I got into Cornell now I feel like I want to go to Columbia more… hah anyone else experiencing this? </p>

<p>Did anyone ask the admission about the notification date? </p>

<p>Just checked last year’s thread. Last year, people heard from Columbia on May 7th, so we might know the results in 10 days. </p>

<p>I was told by someone from admissions that the decisions will be available on may 5 at 5pm</p>

<p>So I just went to columbia’s decision page and created an account with my email. When I login, it says Admissions decisions for transfer applicants will be available online on Tuesday, May 13, 2014, after 5:00pm (Eastern Time).</p>

<p>Your right it used to say May 5 I guessed they changed it.</p>

<p>Anyone else crushed by the news that we’ll have to wait another 2 weeks? I was really thinking next week for sure, maybe even late this week.</p>

<p>I am saddened by the news, but I think the change is justified since the deadline for application was extended to Mar 8th.</p>

<p>I have to reply to NYU offer by May 6, and they said they don’t usually give extensions unless you’re waiting on financial aid offers, which I’m not. Should I call Columbia and see if I can get my decision early? Is that something that ever happens? </p>

<p>Just called admissions and they said they actually won’t release decisions until May 15.</p>

<p>@ILikeCheeseNWine‌ thanks for calling, I was wondering the same thing. So they said they do not release decisions early for students who have to submit another deposit? </p>

<p>Decisions status says that decisions have been pushed back from May 5 to May 13. Why. :-w</p>

<p>@KingofSweden‌ where did you find that?</p>

<p>I went through the log-in process found at “undergraduate-admissions.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/decisions” and got the following message:</p>

<p>*Admissions decisions for transfer applicants will be available online on Tuesday, May 13, 2014, after 5:00pm (Eastern Time).</p>

<p>Please click on “View Update” in the “Status Update” box to view your admissions decision. This box will not appear until after 5:00pm (Eastern Time) on Tuesday, May 13.</p>

<p>If you have questions, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 212-854-2522 or <a href=“mailto:ugrad-transfer@columbia.edu”>ugrad-transfer@columbia.edu</a>.*</p>

<p>It used to say May 5, but has since changed to the 13th.</p>

<p>It says my e-mail account does not exist, when I clicked reset password…This is weird. Should I be concerned? How did you log in? @KingofSweden</p>

<p>@000AAAaaa‌ yes they said they will not release decisions early, even if you have to submit another enrollment deposit.
Also, they said the date is May 15, NOT May 13, as it says online.</p>

<p>Well that’s depressing…I don’t think I can wait that long! </p>

<p>Yea I don’t get why they’re releasing them this late when they have almost finalized the decisions… </p>

<p>Hey. Did you guys get any e-mail from Columbia about the log-in process for decisions? I do not understand how people managed to log in the decision website since I did not get any e-mail.</p>
