AHHHH! I ALSO JUST GOT AN ACCEPTANCE PHONE CALL FROM UMICH!!!!!!! I just left work early to tell my dad!

Re: Columbia - the email I got after I applied said that I would hear by February 2020. Not sure if that means by the end of February or before the month starts, but because of that email, I'm dubious of them waiting until March to notify us if we applied by the priority deadline! 

I didn't say my name. 
 
I thought we'd start hearing around now until February also. I have a feeling that they just said March and that we might be hearing back sooner.

I just got a full ride to WashU. I am actually speechless. 
 
 

Has anyone heard anything about Columbia, Boston University or USC??? Last 3 I am waiting for! Just received my Penn offical letter today! Good luck to everyone getting their decisions!

Zayah! Have faith, you got this! I'll also update y'all. I noticed that their portal changed appearance but not status. 

I went to NYU undergrad and living close to campus I paid around 1500. I live in Brooklyn now and pay 1300 for the largest room in a shared (pretty nice for the area) apartment. Living in NYC isn't as crazy as everyone says if you live in Queens, Brooklyn, or above 120th st.  If you have questions about living in NYC feel free to message me!

Thank you! I'm plugging along, but it's definitely hard to keep anything to the 500 word limit! Let's definitely keep in touch re- Columbia admissions. It's the first app I'm submitting so it's nice to speak with someone else going through it
I also attended an info session and they said they have about a 70% admissions rate, so fingers crossed! I'm not sure exactly when we're supposed to hear back, but February feels like a good bet. That being said, I remember looking at CU admissions posts on this forum last year, and some people heard back really late and inconsistently, regardless of whether they were accepted. 
Nai23, what's your background? Also, what track are you applying to? 

Thanks for making this thread, and congrats on being so on top of your applications! 
I'm applying NYU and Columbia, and then potentially Hunter and Fordham.
