Did the NetPartner link not work for anyone else? I’m getting an error message

It's down for me too, but it was working earlier today, so hopefully by tomorrow it'll be back up again.

Does anyone else's NetPartner show that they need the MD Activity Questionnaire, but on the financial aid website the form is "under construction"? Same thing with "Why I did not file a tax return"

Just want to make sure thats normal!

 

[Hiphopscorpio31]

Yeah I think it’s normal, I emailed the office a few days ago and they said that the questionnaire and other forms should be available “within a week or so”

 

[tms99]

Does anyone know when all of the financial aid forms are due?

Does anyone know when all of the financial aid forms are due?

March 12th or 2 weeks from your acceptance date, whichever comes later.

Anybody know how I can set up an informal “tour” with a current student? Thinking of going to see the place soon. Congrats to everybody btw

Contact the admissions rep on the Facebook page 🙂

Is anyone else's FASFA form still showing up as "Not Received"? I've had my Netpartner login since for about two weeks, and my FASFA was submitted in mid-February.

Mine too.

Nope mine says “received”, though I completed the student activity questionnaire some days ago now and that still says “not received”

 

[antibody123]

are the tax returns required for 2020 and if so, how would we upload those?

 

[jtown498]

We upload them through something called IDOC. Once you submit your CSS profile to Columbia, a blurb appears under the heading "Next Steps" with a link to the IDOC site. When you're there, it'll guide you through the process of uploading your tax returns

 

[hopefulmedstudent2021]

Does anyone know if update letters and letters of interest / intent for waitlisted students should just be submitted via the updates tab on the portal vs. emailed to the admissions office email address?

 

[WhiteMage79]

Does anyone know when the activity questionnaire is due by chance? Just seeing it's much more involved than I initially knew...

 

[lacrossegirl420]

does anyone have the match list here? thanks!

 

[dogtorcat]

Soooo I didn’t file 2019 taxes, but the “Why I did not file a Tax Return” form seems perpetually under construction lol. Everything else is complete on my NetPartner though, anyone else in this predicament?

 

[neuroticaf]

Does the facebook group for the Class of 2025 comprise just admitted students or also current students?

The group has current students as well

 

[neuroticaf]

Wondering if anyone knows when Columbia starts making waitlist decisions. Will it all happen post April 15? Or could there be admitted waitlisters at anytime

 

[dogtorcat]

When you loved Columbia >> all others anyway but are now suddenly attending a “T5” come fall. Could this cycle get any more pleasantly surprising

UCLA admits thought they were attending a t6 but now its not even a T20. You never know what happens in the future. Lmfao

Yikes lol. At the end of the day what do these rankings even mean right, but still, can’t say I’m not a teensy bit pleased

 

[premed3678]

does anyone know when WL movement typically starts? is it always post April 30?

Who tf cares lmao

my parents

 

[Unconditionalloves]

Rankings are not the end all be all. But to answer, no. The other schools that are currently ranked number 6 with Columbia (UCSF, WashU, UCLA) have all cracked the Top 5 at one point in time, but Columbia has only peaked at #6. There's a thread with historical usnews rankings that confirms this. It isn't even the "best" school in new york now with NYU at #4. Sorry

Top 10 most if its life is still pretty damn good!

 

[Sartino404]

Anyone have any idea when WL movement will begin / how much movement we should expect?

 

[dogtorcat]

Did any accepted applicants receive an emailed letter today about the drop deadline?? One of my friends did, but me and another have not.

 

[hopefulmedstudent2021]

any WL movement here or bets on when movement will start?

Nope, just waiting for SDN to tell me the good news. Your notification scared me lol

[premed3678]

i deadass got an email saying I was pulled off the WL then 2hrs later got an email saying that was incorrect and that columbia is overfull rn 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 thank god i hadnt told my parents yet

oh. my. gosh.

So, overfull. This is a bad sign, right? Means that either they didn't have many withdrawals or they're already through their waitlist movement

 

[doctorBsquared]

yeah i think we might be out of luck unless ppl literally get pulled off the WL for like ... harvard and drop their Columbia A

Damn I am sorry that happened to you. Really messed up of them to rescind an acceptance like that.

And they over-accepted students? Shameful tbh. This cycle has already been such a mess.

 

[proudofmykids]

Anyone know if their MSTP program is full with PTE'ed Acceptances?
Any WL A's given or coming?

 

[bignervousenergy]

i also got the email saying i was pulled off then another email saying it was a mistake and they’re overfilled 😭 i had told my family too 😭😭😭

 

[AMC3]

That's so so terrible! Would either of you feel comfortable posting a screenshot of the correction email they sent?

 

[Sartino404]

So besides those shenanigans a few days ago, has anyone else heard of any movement here?

 

[premed3678]

+1 wondering - or are we really expecting no movement given that they're full?

 

[sunalien1]

I know of someone who has gotten off the WL. Just checked and several students have joined the GroupMe since April 30 but not sure if they just got off the WL or joined late.

 

[premed3678]

anyone know if they notify you of an R / end of consideration for WL folks? hating being in limbo

 

[aoki1]

Just called the admissions office to ask about the waitlist. They said they pull people up in real time as spots become available. The man who answered said that the fact that they aren’t pulling from the waitlist means the class is full right now

Thanks for calling and for sharing what you found out. Considering how little movement I anticipate to occur this late in the game, seems like I am DOA. appreciate it, again.

 

[nyc1524]

People are definitely getting in off the waitlist I think its just not being posted here

Yeah that's interesting.

 

[premed3678]

Yeah that's interesting.

I bet Columbia is asking them not to share

 

[MDAesthetic]

Is WL movement done? Has anyone heard anything?

 

[deleted1076485]

Last I heard class was still full. With CTE date coming up I hope some people drop otherwise I guess we just be sad
