Has anyone heard any chat from friends or colleagues about socio-cultural at Columbia beyond what's on the results page (which seems unclear, one waitlist and one interview who hasn't heard back)? From previous years, they do seem to send out notifications a bit later but I'm surprised that there are no reported acceptances yet...
