Program-Specific Info / Q's Anybody heard from Columbia or CSU 2015?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I haven't heard from both Columbia and Colorado State U. Anybody heard from them or contacted them?
Hi,
CSU is supposed to be letting everyone know by March 21. They sent emails to those who are accepted and letters last year, everyone else just gets a letter, as far as I know.

Hi, CO OT Guy!
Thank you so much for the comment. I guess it's not too far then 🙂 Thanks! Wish you Good luck!
 
For Columbia, I never even received a message that my application was complete. They said they would be sending out a "Prerequisite verification form"

Anyone get one?

Hi, chanlamax!
I received an email from Columbia on Feb 5, regarding preliminary prerequisite checklist. Since that, I haven't heard from them!

I also recieved a prerequisite checklist, and it did show I needed to add a few more things to my file. Afterwards, I also heard nothing from them.
 
I was admitted to Columbia on 3/3! Still waiting on USC and NYU.
 
I'm still waiting to hear back from both Columbia and nyu. Would anyone who was accepted mind sharing their stats?
 
I haven't heard from CSU yet...I think this process is what makes OT's so patient!!
 
I just received my letter of acceptance from CSU! I will be attending this fall.
 
CONGRATS!! I'm so happy for you 🙂 I still haven't received anything in the mail... Here's hoping!
 
I'm honestly not super hopeful for this year. I need to get my GPA up a little and I'm still finishing prereqs, but I'm planning on applying again next year. Do you mind sharing your stats?

Snail Mail...emphasis on snail.
Thanks for replying, it will save me from obsessively checking my email all day tomorrow🙂 Instead I'll be waiting for the mail for the rest of the week🙂
 
I'm still waiting on Columbia and CSU. I called Columbia earlier this week being that I also hadn't heard from them since they e-mailed us saying we would receive a prereq verification form. All they said was that I submitted my checklist already and that is all they needed. My application status online still says incomplete; however, they confirmed they have everything from me so I guess they just never updated our applications online. CSU mailed the letters out already but I live in Florida so it'll take a little while to get here. I just want to know already!!
