Columbia General Studies 2025 Spring Early/Regular Application

I am personally just wanting on the email. Otherwise my anxiety gets too high.

I don’t believe we will hear anything until maybe the 23rd earliest. The admission office said they were running slow this year.

Oh you spoke to them recently? Okay let’s keep each other updated in case anything changes in the portal/ we receive any other emails. Everything came last week and this week i hear nothing so i got worried. When did everyone submit their apps? Everything for me was received on August 30th.

ohhhh did they mention when the earliest we could get the decisions? The wait is killing me.

I think we won’t receive decisions till oct 1. But just watch out it anything changes in your portal. I’m also wondering if anyone got an interview request. I’m not sure how they will reach out for interviews with only less than 2 weeks for decisions.

Hi, I submitted on the 1st September and my essay is uploaded on the 2nd September according to what is reflected on my portal, am i placed under Priority or early action?

Check your email, you would have received a confirmation that you will get your decision by October 1st if you were placed in the priority pool.

They didn’t say. Just that they were running slow. I called before we got the emails stating our application were under review.

So I am thinking later rather than sooner.

Does anyone have any idea how the admissions process works? Like who will be looking at our applications. Does it go through a group of people or just one admissions manager?

I know it goes through a committee. Beyond that I am not sure.

Does anyone know about how many applicants they accept for priority early action or each cycle?

The wait is killing me. Anyone heard any news?

Same. I haven’t heard anything and have no updates on the portal. It looks the same since when I submitted it.

No updates for me yet. Like Kaia said, my portal still looks exactly the same. The wait is seriously killing me, haha. I would bet on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week at the latest.

Does anyone have a missing Official Transcript signal on their portals? I looked at previous threads and it seems to be a positive sign. (I don’t have it up until now)

I don’t see anything indicating that I need to submit official transcripts on my portal. I sent all of my official transcripts during the first week the application opened, so I’m not sure I would notice a change anyway. I submitted everything on August 15, and it looks exactly the same as when I submitted my application.

Yeah I have nothing on my portal. Past threads have seen the update by now but I’m not sure why we haven’t seen anything yet this year.

Hopefully, that means everyone on this thread got in, lol!

You mind share the screenshot so that we could know how it looks like? I did not send any official transcript, I just submit the unofficial one. do we need to do that after we submit the application?

I don’t have it but saw it for Spring 2022 threads - this guy later got accepted (Spring 2022 threads - 36) I don’t know why I can’t send links or photos here

Fingers crossed for all of us~ (though my 3.36 GPA is really an issue lol) - my previous school is notorious for GPA deflation among Ivies
