I believe it depends - and you would have to email the dean and write a short letter on why. If they have the space they will let you. If not, you may have to switch your electives to adapt.

Congrats!!! Thank you for sharing

Awesome! Thank you so much for calling.

Has anyone been able to get ahold of UC, to find out when decisions start being released?

Columbia.

I applied 11/7. Ahh do not worry too much! I think they may be behind.. My portal didn't change with my specialization until just a week or two ago.

Oh my goodness haha! Well no worries - it may be a small dept, and don't worry. When I reached out to CU several times in Dec, I didn't realize I was emailing the assistant director the entire time! Sometimes those are the only people with access to our admissions decisions, etc.

Not that I know of. But if you end up calling, can you share what they say?

AYEE! I chose the SAME path P.S. I applied 11/7/19 and mine just changed within the last two weeks.

Oh good POINT! Did everyone else change?? Mine did to show my concentration and specialty.

CONGRATS!!!!!! I know you're a stranger on the internet, but I feel HAPPY FOR YOU!!

If you applied for one of their scholarship initiatives - that may be why they are interviewing you.

Yes that must be it!

The best thing to do when calling is make sure to give your name and ask for an application status and when a decision will be released to you. If you are asking generically they may just say "March". Sorry not trying to freak out anyone!!

The only thing I can think of, is if they are possibly releasing generic "march timeline" statements to callers, unless a candidate asks for the application status (which I did). Apparently a decision has already been made on my file.

SO I definitely feel they are releasing decisions based off some type of criteria. After looking up my file, I was told I would know in the next week or two and typically decisions are released after business hours. I tried to press for more information (for other candidates), and asked what the time frame in general was for those who applied for ED (Dec 1) . And they said "around march".... But then why would I hear back in the next week or so if I applied for ED as well, but others won't hear back until March? Sorry Y'all I was really trying to get more info for everyone! And Congrats on UMICH!

Yeah... so I just called and it was very interesting.

Well that's a great sign then!! GOOD LUCK

That makes so MUCH sense. WHAT number are guys calling? They haven't answered when I called.

Did you apply by Dec 1st? If so - we should start hearing back over the next two weeks! Stats - are awesome! Thanks for sharing, that is a very generous scholarship amount, I am sure UC can match that. I am unsure how much UM typically awards.

Gotcha. Honestly I've ruled out Columbia as an option, but the hype is making me anxious too LOL. Well i'm sure the minute someone finds out - it will be posted here! I've also read - decisions are posted at 5pm, from previous years threads.

I'm curious if people are giving their names when calling? That is the only reason I think someone would be told different information. Some decisions may be ready for certain individuals vs. others. Ex, if you get waitlisted, etc. I was told by an admissions contact (back in Dec) - that decisions would be coming out starting Mid Jan until Feb.

Gotcha! Will if they told you by end of Jan, then you definitely will hear by then. They are pretty good about giving reliable info. And yup!! NP

Columbia? or U Chicago?

Awe!! Well I am glad you called, did you ask when you could call back to check again? I hope you hear back soon. I know they have been reviewing since sept, so they aren't super behind. Hoping your back in the next week or so! Good Luck Anna, I HOPE you get in!!!
