For my Columbia Dental School status update is says test1. Does anyone know what that may mean?

I didn't apply to Columbia, but, I have never heard of anyone getting that status update.

I'm curious to hear what others have to say about that update.

I interviewed at Columbia and my status still says "invited for interview".

I interviewed at Columbia and my status still says "invited for interview".

yeah same here dawgy

 

[gigawatt]

Mine's still the same too. My guess would be that they're just testing out a status update before putting it through for some group of applicants and you caught it in the middle. As far as I know, Columbia doesn't do an AADSAS update in combination with the mailing, so there's probably nothing to read into.

yes columbia uses both AADSAS and mailings to confirm your acceptance/waitlist/etc. (at least that was the case when i was accepted).

"test1" means you have to take my block exam for me on december 1st. please arrive promptly and on time to the admissions office and i will personally see to it that you get my exam completed.

 

[gigawatt]

Thanks for the heads up, flapaTron. I guess that means I won't have to wait for snail-mail to make it all the way out to CA then.

Did you interview there?

 

[shmendrick]

No grx20718 I haven't interviewed there they received my entire application about a week ago and it says received/under review for status, but for status defined it says test1. Idk ill call them tomorrow to find out what that means ill fill you guys in.

i applied there too, my last status update was in august and it still says "received/application complete"...nothing peculiar listed under "status defined" though....

 

[amcmahon]

Mine says "Received/Under Review" then "test1" as well. I figured its just their default message or something.

 

[jirotrom]

anyone know approximately how much of the class is filled by Dec 1st for Columbia... Im still itching to apply there :/

 

[shmendrick]

So i just called Columbia and the rep there seemed pretty clueless. She told me that its just a school thing they do. It means my app is complete and being reviewed, w.e that means. I applied last year and it never said test1 at any point on AADSAS. My other friend who has applied this cycle never had this "status defined" as well. amcmahon I suggest you call them so that we can get some more input.

 

[ACEbndgs]

WHOA so weird, i was just about to do a forum search about this, b/c i just got the same "test1" message too. and my status is "Received/Under Review" and they received my application probably just a week (maybe few weeks) ago.

should i call? xD

 

[txlonghorn]

No test1 for me, but I have yet to receive an invite to interview there.

 

[Pennywisdom]

No test1 for me, but I have yet to receive an invite to interview there.

Same here. Long shot, but I would love to get an invite.

 

[Lethstang]

i dont believe columbia will blank you.

my status still says invited for interview too.

 

[glo1984]

My application said test1 as well and then I was offered an Interview a few weeks ago...

 

[pluto130]

Has anyone heard from Columbia today?
I don't even know how they send out their acceptance.
Do they call you?

 

[jacas]

I don't think they call. Maybe aadsas later today.

 

[jacas]

Nothing yet?

 

[ah1989]

the letters were sent out yesterday i believe.. so if accepted, you should get one in the next few days!

 

[AfroChapin]

Front desk said they can only notify us by mail

 

[babyblue3b]

i just got invited to day for interview but im not going to go good luck to those still waiting for colombia

 

[murraim]

CONGRATS! by mail? Do you live in manhattan?

 

[agentdocta]

My status says "test1" also and it was changed to that on the 11th or 12th of November and my app was mailed out on the 10th. I received an email about them receiving the app and then I had the "test1". I've been wondering what that meant for a while...
