Columbia Waitlist

Has anyone been placed on Columbia's waitlist or alternate list? If so...what are the chances of actually getting in? Thanks.

I'm really curious to know who has been put on the alternate list after interviewing at Columbia. (Is this just a nice rejection or do I actually have a chance...does anyone know?)

when i was there on an interview dr. mcmanus said that they do accept a few people from the waitlist. he also said that the more interest you show (write emails /letters) the greater your chance will be of getting in. so if you are truly interested in going there i would let them know that.
good luck!

Hey Shamrock, how was your interview there? Mine was a blast. I too got waitlisted and I'm remaining optimistic about my chance being on this list. I mean, I see so many people getting into & choosing Columbia, & being that there's only 75 seats, I'm hoping they'll even go to the waiting list at this point, in addition, I'm juggling a waitlist at NYU, so hopefully I'll get off ATLEAST ONE of them, heh ::sighs::

If it helps...I called good ol' Columbia today and they told me that there's only a handful of people on the alternate list (which I guess includes us). I then asked for clarification between the alternate list and the waitlist and he told me that they're one in the same. (good news.)
