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

[jasper09]

Arrived home to find a lovely, shiny, powder-blue... admissions brochure. Thanks, Columbia, but I'm already on board. Don't you remember? I went complete last week and everything.

+1. I got so excited when I got the same brochure on Monday, probably because it was a snow day and work was cancelled, but USPS was working (woah!). It was like Christmas for a moment, except...not.

Got that in the mail yesterday, along with the YLS rejection letter .

What in tarnation is going on in Morningside Heights?

I have a feeling this may be the result of Columbia's inexplicable practices this cycle:

I truly, sincerely hope this happens to EVERY school that's playing absurd games with the applicant pool this year (I'm looking at you, Penn.)

[EquallyWrong]

So I guess Columbia is having a day of rest after yesterday's Holdpocalypse...(or at least they're abstaining from sending emails today)
I'm one of the few above 75ths who still has heard nothing since going complete last year, we're slowly but surely going extinct. Still crossing my fingers for some news this week that doesn't result in further demoralizations.

[Theopliske8711]

In with a Butler too! Complete since November... didn't get anything in the mail, just a really short email with the letter attached stats at/above both 75ths. Congrats to the other recent admits!

Given Chicago and NYU seemed to be in cohesion with the Ruby and Vandy, I wonder why they chose a Butler. I'm sure you can raise it, but that's kind of weird. Almost makes me somewhat hopeful that maybe I'll get a Ruby. False hope? Probably...

For anyone at CLS admitted students weekend right now - Head to the CSIL/CLWA event at the 'Dam on 110th! Ill take a shot with anyone willing*.

*to a reasonable extent

[Theopliske8711]

Hah, I had a date at the dam this past sat. Nice bar.

Poor Columbia keeps falling to the second page. This means we need some more movement plzzzz.

they held everyone who was posting lol

[t-14orbust]

have my interview tomorrow. Maybe they just wanted to tell me about my Hamilton face to computer screen

[jace8819]

What's the general feel with the interview so far? Admits, dings, WL?

I saw on the Harvard spreadhseet it had it broken down where like 60% of those interviewed were accepted, but the same kind of data wasn't available for Columbia... maybe just not enough TLS people have been interviewed???

wow I didn't even make that connection. How sad I really hope they stop with this hold/YP nonsense now.

[Vexed]

Oh Columbia, I just want to hear anything at all at this point.

Finally went complete yesterday after a month and a half pending. This has surely been asked a million times but what's the timeline look like after complete?

Does anybody else still occasionally use the status checker even though they know it doesn't give any new info? Or am I just the Michael Jordan of being neurotic?

Can anyone that had an interview share a bit on what the format was like and what kind of questions were asked? Perhaps compare it to interviews at other schools..

Asking for a friend =]

still completion pending according to their status checker. applied 1/30. Does it usually take months to go complete?
