At this point I'm just glad that people are finally hearing back!! I was beginning to think that it would be like April before we heard......xD

Open itttttt! Good luck!! And tell us how the portal looks like (where the letter/link is located when it appears)

@caitdownie I hope so! In the results section it looks like feb 21 and feb 27th were key dates for hearing back....so maybe this week is indeed the week....

Happy Monday everyone xD another week is before us....let's hope this is it! I'm trying to hold back constantly checking and am limiting myself to 1x/day for the website and checking my email only as I normally would. Of course I'm gonna still be looking at this thread who are we kidding lol....I feel like it's a "watched pot never boils" kinda scenario so hopefully this week goes by so fast and it just appears randomly......one can hope!!

Im still optimistic! Any day now hopefully. We're in the home stretch everyone....

@emmypie I know one of the transfer people that posted here got their email at like 11pm so it may not be limited to office hours

@AstoriaGal that would totally be me too if I had the nerve to call LOL

@PDT612 right?!?

@emmypie history would suggest that decisions start going out around feb 21st. Past years the 21st has fallen on Friday/Thursday and this year it's Saturday. So there's a chance we hear today. Plus all the other observations people have made about website changes and whatnot....but whooooo knows!

I just want to know finally

:-0 that would make a lot of sense guys!! Let's hope our predictions are right!

@emmypie you'd think so...but I don't know, I see people that have gotten notifications on the weekends or late a night (I want to say either browsing past Columbia threads or looking at the Results page led me to this conclusion but I can't remember for sure lol) Not good for our compulsive checking habit I know.... Blah.

I think a few people on this thread have contacted admissions and were told that we could be hearing back this week possibly. Personally I'm thinking we'll start hearing Friday. We're all there with you! Why Columbia has taken SO LONG who knows…they have one of the earlier due dates (at least the 12/1 date)….I keep refreshing my email and checking the app portal….

@caitdownie did you send/receive that email today?

@emmypie I know I was actually wondering that too. There doesn't seem to be an obvious place where they would put a decision button or whatever. You could always call them and ask bahahahaha freaking out here too!

I have a feeling we're gonna find out this Friday the 20th. The past 2 app cycles a flood of applicants heard on the 21st (last year that was a Friday, year before that was a Thursday) this year it's a Saturday. So I'm betting Friday

@rosesw I believe it's an email directing you to check the app portal.

@caitdownie

@caitdownie I believe just transfer students have started to hear back but someone contacted admissions who said we could be hearing this week. Join us on the Columbia thread! We can all freak out together

@PDT612 right?? It's gonna be a long week...

Not that I know of, nor have I seen anything on the GradCafe "Results" page. Hopefully this week though - fingers crossed!

It is a short ways away from the main campus, but it didn't strike me as too far away when I visited. I thought it was nice that the SW building is still quite new and I kinda liked that it was its own entity (maybe because my undergrad school's SW dept shared a floor with like 3 other departments…it seems like it would be nice to have a dedicated building) but that's just my preference. I also know a few people that went to CUSSW and really liked their experience there so I may be biased lol. Everyone should definitely try and visit if they can so you can get a feel for it.

Pretty sure they send you an email to view your decision letter on the application portal first. Then they might send a follow up via snail mail.....

If you look at the past admissions results page people seemed to get notifications from like mid February through May so it's more than possible that rounds of decisions could be coming out starting next week and just go on til everyone's heard back....so both could be true

@astoriagal oh man sh*ts getting real! Lol!
