Congrats to everyone accepted today! When did you all go complete? (And just to confirm Columbia doesnt have status changes right? Just complete -> decision?)

Congrats to everyone who got in!

I submitted my applications very late (late Feb) and I'm still on completion pending. I know they asked for at least two weeks but does this mean anything? - e.g., quick look and throw away to ding files.

If your app is still pending completion, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot them an email, just in case something (ie transcript) got lost in the mail or something

Got in! Decision came in via email. Thank you to everyone on this forum for the help. And congratulations to everyone else who got in! Hope to see you on campus!

To those who got their decision via email, is there a separate letter for scholarship awards or is it mentioned in the offer of admission letter itself? There is no information regarding a scholarship in my letter. Would that mean that I haven't been considered for one? Not that it would reduce my ecstasy in any way :D

Congrats!

A Hamilton or Butler scholarship will come in your offer of admission letter. If you didn't get one in your original letter it means that you aren't getting a Hamilton or Butler but you could be considered for other non-named scholarships once you fill out your financial aid paperwork

Out of curiosity, when did you submit your application/how long did it take for a response?

Thanks!

Accepted via email this morning! Went complete 2/5.

It's the best school I've gotten into, but I probably won't go at sticker. Has anyone gotten an email acceptance and later received a scholarship yet?

Oh, weird, I wonder why it's all one thread since 2010 instead of individual cycle threads

Anyone have any idea how many people/percentage/rough idea who are accepted to CLS are also accepted to HLS? Just curious...

Last year no one heard back until April 4th, so I would imagine a similar timeline for this year.

Accepted via email today around noon ET. So excited! Wasn't expecting it! Stats linked in profile.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
