    I had called I believe two weeks ago (maybe 3) at this point and she had said within 2-3 weeks all priority applicants would hear. She assured me no responses have gone out based on application stength. Only based on date of submission and concentration. So don’t lose hope!

    I just called again. They said by the end of next week....“hopefully”. Not giving up on them but it’s important for me since I’m an advanced standing student and would have to make my summer available for the program. I applied 12/2 and was considered “priority”. 
    Has anyone been rejected yet??? Someone please disclose (if you’re comfortable). We know that you will be valuable in any MSW program. We just want to know if they’ve sent rejections yet! ?? 
    Lastly, am I crazy or am I the only Advanced General Practice & Programming applicant here? I don’t think they go by concentration but I’m curious to know if anyone in my concentration received a decision. My reach school UC Berkeley already waitlisted me so I’d be shocked to get denied by Columbia at this point.
    Yikes, I’m venting again. I think I’m going to take a break from this starting this weekend ? thanks for being a great online support group!

    Did anyone over here hear anything today? There are two Columbia threads so it's hard to keep track of what's been happening, lol.

    For those of us still in for the long haul, it looks like we've all already gotten into some pretty amazing programs and like my mentor just told me, "while columbia would be the icing on the cake, you still have the cake." Whether we see each other at columbia or are spread out all across the country, I know we're all going to become amazing social workers and achieve many great things! Good luck to you all! I think I'll take a few days off from all this obsessing now?

    Also, I just checked Columbia's website and they're closing today at 4 pm... I feel like that means no decisions today, but who knows.

    Thank you, same to you! And yeah, it's disappointing but I feel like in the end the degree itself is what matters, not the name on the diploma (as long as it's an accredited school, of course).

    So crazy...I really don't understand how they're going about this. It seems other schools are so much more organized, etc.

    Man, if I were you guys, I would be resisting the urge to call them every day, lol. I do wonder when they're gonna be able to get back to us non-priority applicants... probably not until May, at this rate.

    I think they just haven't gotten through priority applicants yet. @patientlywaiting2 was told that they wouldn't hear back until March 23rd today, and I'm pretty sure they were a priority applicant. Still, if I were in your shoes, I'd call - I doubt it can hurt, and it sounds like it might be a little while still.
    Pizza is always a great coping mechanism, lol.

    Well, it's almost 7pm here on the east coast so it's safe to assume I won't be hearing back tonight. Hopefully I'll get some news tomorrow. And congrats to everyone who got accepted today!!

    No no, I meant on Columbia's part, to keep people waiting in limbo. You're fine. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Now I'm wondering how often it happens where there is an update before an email goes out lol
    I'm overthinking this when I should be working

    The update appears after you open up your application, right at the top (it will say "status update" with information and the date the update was posted. I was wait-listed today for the two year program! I finished my application on 2/14.

    Does the update on the portal appear on the first page after you login or does it appear after you actually go to your application? Curious where it is.

    Thank you, thank you.
    I submitted on 1/6. My final LOR was submitted 1/10, and I got the "Your Application is Complete" email on 1/26.
    @lost686girl  I agree, it's very expensive. I'll have to wait and see what kind of aid they can offer me. I'm just glad the waiting is over.

    Hello folks,
    I've definitely been feeling the anxiety of waiting to hear back from Columbia so I created an account to let you all know that I received my acceptance about 15 minutes ago (2:50 PM PST). 
    I didn't apply before the priority deadline so I'm thrilled to be hearing back so soon. Hopefully you all hear back soon as well.
