I hear that waiting sucks. I applied to 5 schools. Hopefully you will hear back soon. It’s interesting they are waitlisting but opened application to more applicants! I bet many choose other schools due to cost and they want to have a full class!
Oh for sure, money is a huge, if not the #1, factor. I think they extended the deadline though because NYU's deadline was March 22.

Time of day? Umm. 4:21 pm ct
WELL... that's actually pretty good. I was still holding out hope that there would be some news for me today, but they are probably off the clock now.

I applied 2/5. Heard back April 1st. Waitlisted. Already moving to ny and acceptance into NYU. If I’m accepted I will tour and see what’s the better fit. Hope you hear back soon.
That's a smart plan. What time did they notify you?

I also attempted to contact them to no avail

When did you apply? Just asking because I applied on the 2/15 deadline last year and didn't hear back until April 16th (I was accepted, but chose not to go because they only offered me 11,000 in aid). It is definitely very frustrating but I don't think calling them and demanding a decision is the best thing to do if you actually want to go.

I applied on the last day, and I was told over 2 weeks ago that I would have a decision within two weeks. At that time, I was in the final stage at faculty review, and I don't know what has happened since then. While it is often said that it is frustrating, I would say what is worse is being let down everyday that I am still left wondering.
Clearly, everyone here that applies to this program is motivated to do something, and if the university doesn't want to open their avenue up to me or whoever then it is their duty to tell us. I, like many people that have gone on to college, have a lot of people invested in me, and I am letting them down by not being able to give them answers and plans or a real show of worth.
Admissions is a hard job and giving someone your word about decisions means a lot.

I am losing patience and sanity. Has anyone called them up to give them a piece of their mind? At this point, I can not stand this limbo anymore. I don't know if I need to go back to work, plan to move to NYC, apply for scholarships, or go off on Columbia to have them make a decision. It is just rude to keep people in waiting for so long, and if it is that hard for them to make a decision then maybe they need to rethink their system. I have been keeping recruiters in limbo by not being able to give any definitive answers about my plans, and I am looking really bad right now.
Anyone else heard anything from them?

I applied on the original final deadline (2/15) and Columbia notified me of my acceptance today.
Concentration: Advanced Clinical Social Work Practice
Specialization: Health, Mental Health and DisabilitiesI would've figured they wouldn't want to send any emails out on April 1st but congratulations! What time did you get the email?

Yeah, would've been nice if they could've told me sooner and not on my birthday.
