the facilities are Ok, not great but still good given that its in nyc.. anyway just my two cents. I'm going to accept the offer and got a scholarship the facilities are Ok, not great but still good given that its in nyc.. anyway just my two cents.

anyway i was told its still worth it and this whole thing has been shaking things up in a good way

@hoax I also got accepted at columbia and I talked to some current students. Apparently there's a new article that's going to come out about what's going on. It seems like the students and faculty are pissed at CU admin up high and not at the program itself and new hires were made starting next semester + a lot of faculty is coming back from leave

no word yet.

got waitlisted Columbia Photo... just got the email @oneagain did you hear anything???

thanks for letting us know. Haven't heard anything from them at all... When did you get your acceptance call?

I'm pretty sure it's different for each department... @marg37 what department did you get waitlisted from? @oneagain ... I called them too and they said within a week or two.. I don't know if that's good or bad.. seems a bit weird that if only 10 to 12 people are interviewed for photo, that me + you + @photo haven't heard anything..and we so happen to be on this forum... this could mean that no photo people have heard anything yet, or mean that the three of us are amongst those who didn't get in or it could mean nothing and that each case is specific. I've heard people say they heard 3 days after their interview and others that said it took for ever to hear back....

Any news? @junie @oneagain?

You are a little angel for sharing this Ray of hope <3 thank you

anyone who interviewed with Columbia university photo or new genres get an acceptance call? I havent heard anything so I called the admissions office this morning who just told me that all decisions are to be made by the end of the month...

Maybe you're on the wait list... Maybe we are all on the wait list lol

Did you interview for new genres?

What did you interview for and what did they say to you when you called?

Silence! Are you thinking of calling the admissions office to find I interviewed at Columbia for new genres as well as photo and haven't heard a word...tempted to call the office of admission but I don't know since now I'm seeing that some of you have also not heard anything... maybe it's just taking them some time? this wait very much feels like watching paint dry...

@oneagain no word...

@oneagain did you interview with photo?

I interviewed for Columbia photo as well and haven't heard anything . . .

my MFA still there on my new genres app ..? What letter does your last name start with?

Have painters started hearing back from Columbia? I'm only speaking for new genres.. I have no idea what the painting timeline was last year...

I applied last year and didn't hear back until the last week of February I think.. Like February 25 or something .. And this year the applications were due one week after last year's. I think what's going on is that they're starting to look at applications..hence some people having MFA and others not (mine is probably still up because my last name starts with a P .. Towards the end of the alphabet). Also, I'm sure there are different rounds and different ways the system marks certain applications etc.. . It's probably less systematic than we think ..

this whole "MFA" legend is so funny ... It's becoming some type of urban mystery that no one can figure out

I still have an MFA and haven't heard anything.

Does that mean they're looking at your application if they took MFA out?

Yeah mine says MFA still..

My new genres application still says MFA.. But I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place
