Members do not see this ad.

Yes. At 8:58 am

Congrats- maybe that actually means bad news for me because I received no portal update email

 

[kaydo525]

Congrats! I imagine all of the acceptances would update at the same time, so I guess I'm SOL...

Hopefully they're coming in waves. I'll be rooting for ya! This was stressful.

[seatown93]

Did people accepted yesterday all also get the email?

I got called yesterday but have not received the email yet, and my portal hasn't updated.

 

[Pre Med328]

No call, no email...

 

[mariavontrapp]

I am going to need a doctor soon.

 

[mariavontrapp]

No call, no email...

same here!!! ahhhhhh!

 

[brobro2]

I'm at work and can't focus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[skinniminni]

do waitlists and rejections come out the same day, via portal?

 

[mscs2014]

A lot of schools have rolling admissions, but Columbia seems to only have rolling notifications. Can't say it's an improvement

I did

 

[Smoove]

Did the Servers crash? Lol

 

[New_Slang]

no portal update yet, no call yet. c'mon, Despommier! or, c'mon P&S - just reject me already and stop the torture!

 

[Uphill]

well i guess my thesis isn't getting done today

Hear, hear

 

[PolarBearMD]

Wow... I'm sorry but this process is torturous. They really need to figure out a better way to do this so that people find out closer to the same time. It leaves a lot of people feeling really awful and in limbo.

 

[brobro2]

1) make excel sheet with everyone's names and email address 2) create a column labeled 'Accepted' 3) write Y or N for each 4) filter -> sort the ones who are accepted 5) copy and paste email address in bcc 6) write acceptance email 7) press send

 

[Oranges2]

yeah this is really disorganized

still no call or email or portal update for me either

 

[p0gono]

Haven't had a call or status update. (WT)

 

[Juxxtaposition]

I did

I didn't.

 

[PolarBearMD]

I didn't.

Wow... Seriously, what is this system that they use?!!?!

 

[Juxxtaposition]

Were the rejections posted on the portal?

Waitlisted, got email notification.

Likely to withdraw for other acceptances. Good luck to everyone on the WL! Seems like a lot of people are pulled off eventually.

Annnnnnnd waitlisted - Ah well. Also, for future applicants, had a nice personalized reply to my thank you note from the Dean, goes to show it definitely doesn't mean much. Oh well.

Edit: Weird sense of relief now that I'm not staring at my phone all day 🙂

 

[PolarBearMD]

I read somewhere that 112 people got off the waitlist last year or the year before... keep in mind, though, that Columbia waitlists a LOT of people--maybe 600ish?
