  1. Hello, all! This is my update as of May 30th, 2010. I got a full scholarship (plus stipend!) into my second top school. Under threats of losing this lucrative deal unless I accepted in a timely manor, I took it. I have yet to hear back from Columbia; as such, I do not regret my decision (though, I must admit, I AM rather curious to see whether or not I was accepted...though since I haven't heard anything and it's almost June, I'm 95% sure that it's a rejection... Still, considering that I paid $130 for the application, I expect a formal decision IN WRITING and I'll write--write like I do best--until Columbia provides me the decency and solace of closure.) But that's a tangent. Just curious, has anyone heard anything from Columbia? I just checked their website, and my PIN no longer works... Insights please
  2. Hey, This March 1st date... Is that for MFA (Fiction) programs or programs in Literature? If it's not applicable with MFA's, could you use your connection to gather some intelligence?
  3. Hello All! So I applied to two schools. Columbia's application was due in early January. The other application was due by February 1st. Granted, today is February 17....Columbia received over 600 applications; they've had a little over a month to critique, debate, and hash out who's worthy, so I'm not trippin' out yet. Yet. But when should I start to worry? Has anyone heard anything from Fiction programs? When should I expect to hear news? I've been reading various forums. It looks like late February-mid March, if you get a phone call or e-mail in that time frame, you're golden. Anything after that and expect a rejection letter. Is that a generalization or a hard truth? All insight is appreciated!
  4. Hello fellow bloggers, So Columbia is my dream school--the location, the academic rigger. It's perfect for me. I feel I submitted a very strong application for their MFA: Fiction Writing program. Time will tell...in the meantime, I'm trying to read the writing on the walls. Here's the deal: I've received three e-mails from Columbia reminding me to submit my FAFSA and need access applications. Granted this was a form letter...but is every applicant on the list? Do you think a life changing e-mail or, better yet, a personal phone call is on the horizon? Thank you!!
  5. waiting to hear positive news from my dream school...Columbia
