So if we don't see another letter on the portal that means no funding? Or has anyone gotten a letter that actually says no funding offer?
I think that's what it is. I had emailed the fin aid office a while ago, and they said if there's no funding you just wouldn't get notified. Maybe reach out to them if you want to double check?

A separate letter is posted. Logout and check again!
Where did you check this? Is it the application portal with the checklist?

NYC is actually pretty open in comparison to, like, the Bay Area. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up moving to hybrid classes... especially since rates are dropping and vaccines are rolling out.
The travel ban is really valid point, however. Feels like Columbia SIPA is highly international so I have no idea how that will bode for the fall. (Also rent in NYC is dropping rapidly since everyone fleed the city/moved to the 'burbs so at least there's that).
Yes, I'm in NYC right now and I have friends who go to Columbia and are taking hybrid/fully online classes. I still think that even with hybrid classes, opportunities for meeting professors and networking would be limited, compared to what they would/could be normally.
And yes, rents are so low... It's one of the big reasons why I'm considering starting this year lol

I got a job offer that had me relocate to the Bay Area + end up in a year long lease, so I was hoping to try and defer because of the job (also want to make more $$ before school).
That's a more than valid reason to defer. I'm wondering if people will choose to not come to NYC because of covid restrictions, and considering many students are in other countries and there are travel bans/closed consulates so visas aren't being issued... the student population in NY could be small

[Deferring]
Is anyone considering deferring their offer to 2022? I feel like SIPA is what it is because of its network and if not a lot of people are actually on campus it's not worth the tuition? Any thoughts on this?
Also best of luck to all of us waiting on acceptance/fin aid letters !!!!

While the schools are mostly not-so-flexible about accepting admissions material after deadlines, in your case chances are that they will be accomodating as its just an update and moreover you applied in Early Action Round. My suggestion is to send an email to admissions informing them about your offer and attach an updated resume. Anyhow its not gonna harm in any way, so why not do it.
SIPA tends to finalize decisions by 15 December. You can expect them to roll out anytime after that. Last year the date was 19th December.
Just as an update -- I emailed in mid-Novembe, they were super helpful and did include my updated CV in the application.

Do we think there's any hope for decisions to be released before Christmas?

I got a pretty major job offer after a couple of days after submitting the EA application... Should I contact them?
Also, when are you expecting the decisions to be sent out?

From what people have said, you should receive an email with *something*. Fingers crossed for you!
