I think I got accepted to Columbia?? I checked the portal this morning and no change but just checked it again and it took me right to an "admitted" page! No letter or email or anything yet. I applied to HPM but never did an interview so not sure if this is real...

An update to everyone waiting on Columbia financial aid! There was an update to my financial aid portal: it doesn't have my aid yet but it does now list the yearly fees required of all students. So slight progress hahaha. But I assume this means they're finally starting to go through aid packages or something; until today my portal was completely blank.

Hopefully this means they'll stick to their 3-4 week timeline and start sending some next week!

[limpraisin]

" Congratualations and Welcome to Columbia Public Health! Below you will find additional information on upcoming events, department information and next steps. Begin by completing your decision reply form!"

Congratulations!! What concentration did you apply to at GWU? I was admitted to MCH in December and am yet to hear back on financial aid :/

Same here, I was admitted to GW's Maternal and Child Health on 12/23 and have heard nothing about financial aid/scholarships

[limpraisin]

does anyone know how to view the record financial aid session from Columbia? they said it's recorded and on the portal but I'm not sure where

 

[qcl1009]

@crashfan Yes you did!!! Click on "View Your Decision Here" under "Status Update" to see the acceptance letter!!!

I'm not sure if I'm just being dumb but where can I find the Status Update region :'DD

 

[iFky99]

I can't find it either - perhaps they'd need to update the portal a bit more (along with the email) before we can see it?

I just got accepted into UNC's applied epi program which I was not at ALL expecting. Congrats to everyone who heard about Columbia, and I hope fellow UNC-ers get their responses soon!!

My columbia portal says im in but I haven't had my interview yet... and i got the email to schedule it last week... I think its a mistake.

I hope they didn't just accidentally update all of our portals 😳

CSS Profile has a list of all the schools that require it and whether this applies to international or domestic students! Out of the 8 schools I applied to, only GW required it.

Thank you! GW is one of the schools I applied to.

 

[KingofMaskedSinger]

just checked my columbia portal and I am in for epi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohh I definitely do not have that screen yet :')) it'll probably update soon (I'm just REALLY hoping it's not a glitch :'D)

I just got the same message in my portal if it's a mistake i will cry lol

 

[jm20bk06]

Same!

they might have just updated all of the portals lol because the original url which ends in 2021applicant redirects you now to the url ending in 2021admit

if accepted I think you would see your program information as well next to the graphic that says welcome to Columbia public health

 

[zubear]

Same!

Yeah my portal has nothing like that. Uh oh

I'm gonna be devastated if this was a glitch or something lol.

 

[hokiegirl30]

I haven't heard from Vanderbilt Epi at all (not even confirming my application). I just tripled checked and I submitted everything by the priority deadline. Do you guys think I missed something here?

My portal looks nothing like this LOL.. Columbia don't do us like this 😭

 

[ColdSore200]

I didn't think it was possible but now I am even more nervous about Columbia

 

[orangejuice14]

my portal for popfam says I am in BUT NO PLACE TO SEE STATUS UPDATE OR DECISION LETTER. if this is a glitch......... does anyone have info on this PLS SHARE

 

[qcl1009]

I didn't think it was possible but now I am even more nervous about Columbia

I was doing so well with keeping my anxiety in check, but Columbia has opened Pandora's box and now I'm refreshing my email and portal at an ungodly speed

 

[rtr2020]

Sooooo who is going to take one for the team and email Columbia admissions?

Yeah I'm almost certain this is an error for the rest of us.

 

[jm20bk06]

Yeah I'm almost certain this is an error for the rest of us.

if you click connect with your department, and then "click here to view the full letter", does it give you a letter saying congrats on acceptance?

 

[westonsided]

if you click connect with your department, and then "click here to view the full letter", does it give you a letter saying congrats on acceptance?

Yes but it just says "Dear Admitted Student", nothing mentions my name.

mine does! but my name is not on it. same for you?

 

[qcl1009]

Same with me it just starts off with

"On behalf of everyone...."

 

[wiphey]

Just emailed. No shame LOL

 

[ColdSore200]

I sent them an email just now. Hopefully this is resolved as soon as possible.

same no name just dear admitted student

 

[Pwny]

Same here, applied PopFam and that’s what my link says too IDK WHAT THIS MEANS lol

Love how we are all anxious together in this thread!!!!!!

 

[westonsided]

This is cracking me up, I wonder if the person in charge of updating the portals knows they are causing mass panic 😆

 

[limpraisin]

Same with me it just starts off with

"On behalf of everyone...."

Mine also says On behalf of everyone and I was accepted 1/20. I think the most important is that it says your Program Info under "Your program information" and also the "View your decision here"

 

[qcl1009]

this is all I see so I'm not sure if the site still needs to be updated 🙁

 

[jm20bk06]

yeah i think they just changed the landing page from /2021applicant to /2021admit

I have been checking the 2021admit page for the last week or so and the visual hadn't changed for me. Just this afternoon the page changed from applicant to admit. and trying 2021applicant will always redirect to 2021admit. Someone in the portal management must have made a change

Back to waiting for the news...
