any one having trouble uploading pdf files on the status update tab?
I've been trying for quite a bit today and have not had any success. Hopefully it's just a glitch with the system, if it doesn't resolve itself some point in the next few days I plan to give admissions a call.
I understand columbia is nonrolling. However, If I was complete mid july, and I still have not received an invitation to interview, is it safe to assume that I probably won't be getting one?
Probably? Maybe. Possibly? Yes, especially if you continue to send updates.
I'm sure this has been aske before, so I'm sorry if this is redundant... But how responsive is Columbia to letters of intent post-interview, pre-decision? Does it make any difference in who they accept vs wait list? I know they're very responsive to them once you've placed on the wait list, but Columbia is my #1 choice and I would like to let them know before their ultimate review in February.
How helpful do you think these letters will be?
Sorry if already answered but is Columbia P/F first two years?
Thanks
Completely unrelated question, how does the subway in NYC work? I've been to Tokyo and Seoul before, with their IC cards you flash over readers when you get on the trains, but...
Just buy a ticket for each subway ride?
LMFAO when I was reading this, because of your avatar, I pictured a bear coming to new york for the first time and trying to figure out how to get on the subway.
Hey guys. Today I received a letter from Dr. Nicholas that seemed like a likely letter. Has anyone else received something like that? Is it, in fact, a likely letter??
So excited!!!
I got one too. Do we reply to it? What's the proper reaction to something like this?
Could you share when you interviewed and the general message in the message? Was it email or snail mail?

I hear the Brooklyn Zoo is missing one after Hurricane Sandy![]()
Exactly!! I don't know! Is it premature to start feeling extremely excited?!
email. i interviewed in late september. the letter basically ended saying something along the lines of: it's too early to know how things will go this year, but we will keep you strongly in mind and we would be happy to have you at columbia
😀
For what it's worth: don't get your hopes up until you have the acceptance packet in your hands. "We really like you" does not always mean "you should be here next year." I learned this the hard way after receiving a likely letter for undergrad at my #1, then saving money by withdrawing from all my other interviews, only to ultimately not get in. Things worked out in the end, but it was still a big splash of cold water.

Maybe not something to be too excited over... But very nice of Dean Nicholas to take his time out to write something so personalized for the applicants though.

All applicants receive a letter sometime after they interview, it's a very sweet tradition that shows how genuine and kind Dr. Nicholas is. He truly wants everybody to see how special P&S can be. No further action is necessary on the applicant's part, it's a gentle reminder of the drawn-out waiting process until March and to not lose hope with how long the wait time is. Don't consider this a "likely" letter, but rather a "yes we're reviewing your application very fairly" letter. I talked to friends from my alma mater who currently are P&S first and second year students who filled me in, and said these letters aren't sent in any particular order and come out between now and February, so if you don't get one today, you will get one in the next few months!
That said, I received a letter from him at 10:02 AM this morning, and interviewed late October. I don't plan to send a follow up letter unless I publish a couple more papers this year or something big that's worth updating the adcom
Thanks! I submitted the secondary on July 15th - I'm not sure when I was complete.congrats! when were you complete?
Hi everyone - I just checked my status and had an interview invite. I did not get an email from admissions (I also checked my spam folder) notifying me so it may be worth checking if you haven't heard anything yet. Good luck!
I anxiously checked my status page only to be met with a disappointing lack of an invite. 🙁
Congrats though!

How late does Columbia interview?
I haven't seen many II's given out yet. SHould I still have hope if I was complete 8-10?

Still haven't gotten one of these "We are continuing to consider you" emails a bunch of people seem to have gotten a week or so ago and I interviewed early October. Do they go out to everyone that interviewed? Should I be concerned that I haven't gotten one?

I haven't heard from P&S in months, so I logged into my secondary application. Under the status tab, I do not see anything that says "Application Complete." Yet I received an email (a long time ago) with the header "Secondary Application Complete," and the first line reads "We are pleased to inform you that your application to Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons is complete." (Quoted straight from the email.)
Now I am very worried, and am kicking myself for just assuming my application was complete. Does anybody else's application look like this?
I only see check marks under Application Status. So ... I'm assuming mine is the same as yours. If they sent you an email saying it is complete, then it's probably complete.
So your Status tab page doesn't say "Application Complete" anywhere? I'm having a small freak-out moment.

I don't see that ... no. Hmm, now I'm freaking out LOL
