Interviewed...and heard nothing....assuming got waitlisted.......

what is going on with Columbia visual art department…..anybody heard back yet💧

And do they even call during the weekends?? Columbia is my first choice😫😫😫😫💧

Is there a delay in Columbia’s decision this year? People normally received acceptance calls within two weeks after the interview from previous years. So far there is only one person got accepted to sound concentration. What happened to visual arts? Any updates anyone❓I am losing hope….

I studied abroad at CSM for a semester and I really liked it there. I think everyone is pretty talented and also the professors are well established too. But the education system between the UK and the U.S is very different. When I was at CSM(for fine art), I only got one class every week. It is mostly just you working on your own in your studio. Not sure about other majors, but for fine art it is literally just one class every week. I hope this helps.

OMG congratulations!! Were you notified by phone or email??

Thank you for your kind words. They will call those people who got accepted first then the official letters will come the week after. I am not sure when they will send out the waitlist or rejection but those decisions will not be notified until April I believe. Message me if you make it to the interview next year, I will be more than happy to answer whatever questions you may have.

Hey for people who got interviewed with Columbia around late February, we should be expecting a phone call from them within two weeks if we get accepted according to people from previous years. -__- Fingers Crossed for good news to come tomorrow or Friday. This whole process is nerve-wracking and I can't wait to get over it.....If anyone already got acceptances or does get phone calls in the next two days, please share them here...so I don't have to keep waiting.....

I believe they did. Someone here already had interview with them back in February?

Yes! I think I did okay. Definitely there were some questions I could have answer better if I wasn’t nervous….but I did my best under the situation. I think it is really up to them like my work or not……

Thank you so much. And my apologies, I would like to keep it until the result reveals. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💧

Anybody heard back from Columbia about the interview results? T_T can't stop checking my email every minute. Any updates please share them here. ❤️

No. I hope I do. My plan is to receive multiple offers then using those offers to negotiate with the one I wanna go….not sure if it will work but doesn’t hurt to try

hey I am wondering if u are an U.S citizen? If so, how do you apply for Fulbright for schools in the U.S? Just curious, I thought it is either for US citizens to study abroad or non-US citizens to study in the U.S? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Funny thing is that leory Neiman graduated from SAIC I believe. He also donated tons of money to SAIC and I remember we have a building/gallery also under his name.

Thank you for sharing. I was gonna do Fulbright with Oxford this year but I missed the deadline. I also didn’t receive any scholarship update from Oxford this point. I assume I will not get any money if I end up going to Oxford. I just hope I can get into Columbia with at least 50% of scholarship then I will be able to consider to do my PHD at Oxford with Fulbright💧 And my sister is an undergrad at Cornell now and yes it is a very isolated place and a good friend of mine just graduated from Cornell MFA also told me it is not a good place for your mental health…..🌚

Haha thank you for your reply. I also learned this from the current graduate who was doing zoom touring that one print media or sculpture student gets a full fellowship don’t remember which one is. Anyways congrats on your acceptance to Yale with possible full scholarship again!! I am just gonna continue waiting for Columbia. Hopefully good news will come next week💧

sorry to hear that but I guess you will be going to Cornell? And they didn’t reach me for an interview so I guess it’s a no. I will probably withdraw my application.

Hey can you explain a little bit? How did they tell you during the interview that you are running for a fully funded fellowship? I also ask them about funding during my interview with Columbia and they told me that there is guaranteed need based scholarship but it won’t cover the full tuition. And yes Yale gives money based on your income and they will probably give you a full ride.

Congrats!!!Will you choose Columbia over Yale❓

Hey me too… last sunday. They told me it would be this week.. I guess not. Anxiously waiting now…fingers crossed for both of us

anyone got results from Columbia? The level of anxiety is no good for my mental health……

graduated from SAIC and that's very normal for SAIC's MFA photo program. SAIC's photo program is highly overrated, and I still do not understand why people think it's good. I would suggest you go somewhere else with more funding. SAIC's photo is not worthy at all.

Hey, I am wondering if anyone heard back from MIT SMACT?? ?

Hey sussy Thank you so much and I believe every concentration has different schedule. It is still relatively early for Columbia considering they have 1000-1200 applications to process every year. I was informed by email, and I have not checked my portal yet. If you got invited for interviews to Yale and Cornell, you should have some faith in your work! I also applied to Cornell this year and realized I made a mistake in my Cornell essay by mentioning a professor who does not work in the Visual Art department..........I believe it is a rejection for me because they do not have different concentration, so interview invitations should have gone out the same time... I am wondering when did you receive your interview from them??By phone or by email? Thank you and good luck on your interviews!
