Columbia c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle) Forum

[midwest17]

Okay, for those of us without interviews, why would they wait to tell us their decisions? This is only a trial so even if interviews affect those interviewed (which it almost seems like they won't based on their info page), they definitely won't affect us. I'm sure they've already decided what to do with many of the pre thanksgiving apps.

Because it's Columbia.

And why would it be so crazy to call and ask when rd people without interviews can expect to hear? They mention the turnaround for those with them...I'd have to book a flight from California and the early ASW is the only one I can make. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Calling and asking isn't a high-risk strategy. But it's also a low-reward strategy, and you're dealing with a group of extremely risk-averse people.

Thank you!


...at the risk of only presenting you guys with a low reward, they started sending acceptances on Friday someone had to do it

[teenybean]

A friend of mine who also applied called just now. He doesn't have a TLS account though.

Are those faces cause you love me or cause now it's time to panic??

Both, obviously

[midwest17]

Well then.

Class today is going to be miserable until I can get home and check the mail.

Did he get in or just called their office too?

Checks mailbox.

Dear Columbia,
I may or may not have signed up for a new credit card that will be sent to my parents house. They will not be thrilled to get this. So if there could be a correspondingly fantastic letter there, that would be greatttttt.
Love,

THE scoobs

How recent an applicant may be included in this wave of decisions?

[teenybean]

They wouldn't check his actual file. It was all generally speaking but he was asking "for people without interviews, when will acceptances start getting sent out?"

Oh, he didn't get a letter, that's just what they said. hm.

[lastsamurai]

well i feel sick

[pokemonsters]

I'm personally freaking out thinking the letter might come today, BUT, let's remain somewhat skeptical until we hear people have started receiving letters / international students have received e-mails.

[lawschool22]

Color me skeptical but cautiously optimistic. How well do you know and trust this friend?

Saint. Bless you.

[t14splitter]

Seems strange that no one in NYC / surrounding area has gotten a letter yet since mail was delivered Saturday and already today for others.

So does the status checker not change to DLS?

We're going to have to rely solely on USPS??!?!?!
