I have an almost full-ride at Michigan but I'm there for UG right now and I think I might need a break from all the hippies and gray skies.

If Columbia gives me 90k, then I'll send in the deposit the next day.

At least they didn't send you a request for more information. Can't imagine I'm getting a notice any time soon

Same. Apparently the fax machine I used cut off the last page of my questionnaire and no one noticed until very recently.

Anybody know what happens if they don't offer you aid? Do they send a letter with a single 0 in comic sans? Or is it just no letter

Still no word regarding mine; when I called I was told it was under review. Hopefully this week. I sent them my UChicago and NYU scholarship offers. Ten days until I have to make a decision.

Yeah, I'm considering asking for extensions at my other schools if Columbia keeps dragging their feet.

Called again because I am but a cucumber with anxiety: " your file is complete and your award determination should be coming shortly"

No idea if this is actually news or not. or good news or not. but I'm proceeding to freak out .

Omg I wonder if this means another wave of decisions are coming. My after-work mailbox check is the most stressful part of my day

Called today and got the same response^^

Just got an email. $0. Immediately submitted a request for reconsideration with a $ I would commit at. PM me for details but I'm not hopeful.

Attending Columbia is a dream and I/my family really doesn't have the money to finance this. I'm sort of heartbroken right now.

Sorry to hear that.

Does no money come via email and some money come via mail?
