Waitlist supplement
Can someone please tell me how we can VERIFY that our statement reached? I sent mine in yesterday. I e-mailed it, and I faxed it, but I can't tell if they've received it or not, because I obviously haven't gotten a response.

Should I mail it to the admissions office as well? The reason I ask is because I'm international and mailing stuff from here is PRETTY expensive.


Anyone?

I've never understood why CC members are so afraid of admissions offices.

Call them and ask.

"our statement"? Was that a letter keeping them up to date with what you're doing or just a simple statement that says that you still want to go to Columbia if they offer you a spot (yes or no)?

They just sent me an email reminding me I'm on the waitlist. I wonder if I should take this as encouragement? I just checked my application and it's missing a teacher rec so I guess I should resend that. Out of curiosity, how many other people have gotten this email?

Dear *****,

I am writing to provide you the most current information on the status of waitlisted candidates for Columbia's Class of 2012. We have started to fill available spots in the class through the waitlist and will continue to do so as spaces become available through the end of June.

Please feel free to submit a statement regarding your continued interest in Columbia by responding to this e-mail. We continue to be gratified and compelled by the energy and clarity you bring to your interest in Columbia.

If you have applied for financial aid, please visit https://admissions.columbia.edu/ to confirm that Columbia has received your required financial aid documents.

If you do not want to remain on Columbia's waitlist, please complete the reply form below.

As always, we send our best wishes and our thanks for your patience and your enthusiasm throughout the admissions process.

Sincerely,

Jessica Marinaccio
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions

It really seems like she likes you. She didn't reply to me AT ALL!

Don't we have different counselors? Since you're international.

Everyone gets a counselor. Just e-mail the admissions office to find out who yours is.
