When do you think Columbia will accept the first batch on the waitlist?
If it follows the pattern of the previous years this Friday late afternoon is the earliest it can be. But official notice states after May 15th. Correct me if I’m wrong guys. Also notice that once the first wave is sent it does not necessarily get sent every Friday, 2020 it skipped every other Friday. So I wouldn’t be alarmed if it happened again. With everything going on at Columbia wouldn’t be surprise if it’s completely different from other years.
My D24 was in touch with her regional AO and got an away message “on university business” Don’t know if that means the AOs are not in the office this week. Plus things are bit hectic there. I told her not to expect anything every and certainly not before mid June. Helps to keep the expectations realistic. Not healthy to refresh email 100X a day.
Fingers crossed
One skill that I’ve mastered all this time from January is patience. Juu wueh .
Today would be the first possible day if they follow they previous years! But most likely next Friday! If anyone gets an update let us know!!
Got off the Columbia waitlist earlier today
How did they notify you?
Just wondering id the admissions team also let WL students know if they will NOT be offered a spot or do they leave them on the waitlist indefinitely? Sort of like a rejection from the waitlist??
could you share SCHOOL or MAJOR? thanks
are you domestic and full pay?
Through the portal
Yes I’m from nyc and full pay
Anthropology major
Has anyone seen more pulled from waitlist on Reddit?
haven’t seen anything else on reddit, I’m assuming columbia is looking for full pay applicants right now- that’s how barnard was; barnard took off all the full pay applicants first
Yeah, that’s what one of their former AO said on YT. They do prioritise students who are full pay and come from NYC first.
We are full pay but not NYC
Check on YouTube: College Mentor Chris. Plus you’re better off, imagine I’m an intl applicant seeking full fin aid. My chances are so slim
Did you get an email? My D24 doesn’t usually check portals without an email
