Columbia Waitlist Class of 2028 Thread

Yea, I hope Columbia releases results soon so people won’t be as stressed anymore. Hang on everybody!

A lot of people are probably going to reject their offer to Columbia due to recent events, so I’d assume they have to start letting ppl off the waitlist soon

I don’t think that is accurate - if Google was using AI - it gets it wrong sometimes. Nothing on their official pages say this.

Agreed, and several others have accepted offers at other schools as well. Columbia’s yield rate has definitely been impacted according to sources like CNN.

Other ivies like Brown and Harvard have pulled from their waitlist already. Not sure why Columbia has this holdup.

Other t20s too- Vanderbilt, UMich (today) … just want this over for D24 and you all. But I know if you are in this game, you are all going to be super successful!

There’s pretty credible reports that here and elsewhere that Columbia has pulled a little from their lists regardless of what whoever answers their phones says. But that doesn’t mean they are done.

Last year some of the Ivys didn’t send out notices they had closed their lists way into the summer.

I guess that means Columbia is done taking people off. Columbia said they review the whole cohort before accepting anyone. So most likely they are done or very few spots are left.

I just sent them an email abt an update, they said they would note my application accordingly, so I don’t think they’re necessarily done taking people off the list

Well, everyone including admissions officers weren’t allowed on the main campus for a few weeks due to the protests so that might have something to do with it. Hamilton Hall (the admissions office) was also trashed on May 1st so it might take them longer to fix everything up before they hold their admissions meetings.

Did you email the admissions office or your specific regional AO?

What did they mean by note your application accordingly?

Admissions office

It seems like they took the update into account, probably for reviewing the application so I think they are still taking ppl off

Should I email my admissions officer or the general email?

Most are from engineering I saw - only 1 cas so I think they can’t be done - plus they send a letter when done

If you have an update to ur application u can send it to the admissions office, that’s what I did

which email link was it?

I used this one I think

ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu

Are we thinking that the admissions from the waitlist are rolling or come out in chunks? Just trying to calm my nerves :skull:
