Columbia Class of 2029 Official RD Thread

The scholarship form date changed for me too. it now says 3/10

There’s a table with all the docs which were submitted on the idoc site. It has a column where it’s written the date when the documents are available to colleges.

When did you submit it

i believe I submitted it March 1st, and then it was recieved the day after. And then the status changed again to 3/10

That is fascinating, my scholarship form status date didn’t change

Columbia Outside Scholarship Form: mine was submitted 2/8; processed 2/9

The dates range from 12/18 to 1/9 on my IDOC.

If the form was submitted on 2/8 why does it show a much earlier date on your columbia portal

It might just have something to do with the fact that I submitted it so late! I wouldn’t read deeper into it.

Yeah that might be reason

yes. i wonder if it means anything :sob: i know it’s too early to tell but im getting desperate for any signs… at least nyus portal astrology is fun

Yeah lmao i am also desperate for ANY signs at this point :sob:

not sure!

same.. is this a bad sign???

when’d you submit it? (out of curiosity)
cuz I think the deadline was Feb. 15th but in the FinAid webinar they hosted I remember them saying they would be flexible like ~3-5 days after the deadline but then you might be penalized anytime after this. not sure if I remember this correctly though, might wanna check w/Columbia themselves.

From Columbia’s website:

Application Requirements

FAFSA (For US Citizens and Eligible Noncitizens only) - Deadline Feburary 15th

  • If there are delays with processing associated with updates to the FAFSA, there would be no penalty for students whose FAFSA applications might be received after the financial aid deadline. [1]

My kid’s financial aid portal at Columbia has dates stretching from Sept. 20 up to Feb. 12-13 and then Feb. 27 (when FAFSA was updated again (date was updated maybe six times). Her CSS was updated to Feb. 13 but was originally had a November date on it. They accessed and updated a bunch of docs from IDOC the same time they last updated the CSS — on Feb. 12-13 — but I have no idea if that update was only because a bunch of tax stuff was uploaded by my kid to IDOC on those dates (because she’d originally uploaded unsigned tax forms by mistake). Maybe Columbia just pulls in IDOC stuff automatically? I’m not sure I’d read anything into this.

She did not get this ERM email. Her scholarship form date didn’t change.

i have no clue! supposedly some people with likely letters didn’t get their fafsa processed either… i think its unrelated to admissions

any portal astrology for columbia?

Is everyone’s documents and messages tab gone?
