[Fall 2015 Applicants]

Hey everyone!  

 

I'm a long time lurker and all your posts have been such a comfort to me! It's great to know you're not alone with your feelings/thoughts/desperation. 

 

I'm wondering if anybody knows if all Columbia admits have been notified? It looks like they have but I'm not getting a straight response from them and I honestly cannot wait until mid-March writhing in agony until they finally tell me I've  been rejected. I just want to know and move on!! So does anyone know? I'd be forever grateful if someone can just put me out my misery!

 

I was waitlisted, and my understanding from my communication with the department since then is that all admitted applicants have been notified :-(

Does anyone have any idea how long waitlists tend to be?

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

I got waitlisted by Columbia. Doubt anyone would turn that down so feels like a rejection really.

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

Can someone claim Columbia admit? How did you find out?

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

If anyone at any point hears about somebody getting an offer at Columbia please let me know... thanks.

Ximenka Harvard have made their offers so you will either be waitlisted or rejected :-(. Don't know about the others.

OK. Is there ever a situation where acceptances come out at different times, or do you think all those who are accepted and not waitlisted are accepted at the same time?

Do graduate departments make their admissions process as opaque as possible in order to torture us or what? I just don't get why they have to do this, why can't they just put our names into a computer and tell us where we stand? this is so messed up.

So you had an interview a while back? Why is it that Harvard says on their website that they "do not conduct formal interviews"? "Formal" "informal" psshh.

 

Yeah around 3 weeks ago. I know, so irritating.

A friend of mine got an acceptance email from Harvard a week ago. But I have no idea why no one posted on the results page. maybe none of them are gradcafe people? idk.

 

Thanks for letting me know. Do you know what sub-field? I guess this means I'm out. My POI isn't replying to me with my application status even though I had an interview...

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

Yeah social. You?

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

What on earth does that mean? Ugh, Harvard. You and your "postal service" rejects. Anyone hear anything?

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

Has anyone heard from Harvard? I just called the department and that said "some offers have been made and some have not".... but nothing shows up on Grad Cafe?

Others with Columbia interviews, any ideas how many people have been invited for interview? Apparently they didn't do long interviews in previous years.
