Yes, I did too (in March).
As for my letters: each of them had a theme. Of course, the topic was always the same, but I approached it from a different angle each time. A current P&S student who got off the waitlist two years ago told me to be interesting and to share my enthusiasm, so I tried my best.
how often did you guys call dr. frantz??
ive sent in a number of updates regarding summer, end of the year activities etc. but im wondering if at this point i can just send in "yes, columbia is still my top choice" letter ....

Maybe you could also talk about how your interest has evolved/grown/intensified over the last couple months?

Don't worry... I'm sure you're still being "actively considered".

Resurrecting for 2009.
From page 1:
"That's their normal waitlist. It's rumored to be around ~300 applicants large, of which 35-60 will ultimately be accepted. Most of the movement in past years has happened in May."

No need to resurrect this thread; recently we have started moving all school-specific discussions to their own forum to cut down the massive amount of school-specific information in the main pre-allo forum, which you can find at the top of the pre-allo main page. You should be able to find a thread in there about Columbia, probably something like "2008-2009 Columbia Secondary Application Thread." 🙂
