Hello to all those accepted, denied and waitlisted!
I was waitlisted last month and was a little bit surprised. After checking my status online it looks like my transcripts somehow arrived past the deadline? - maybe that has something to do with it. Is anyone else waitlisted out there? Anyone know if it's a ranked waitlist, how many people waitlisted there are, etc? The admissions office hasn't been the most communicative.
I have 7 years of service experience both full and part time. Have worked with extremely diverse populations - for example - at risk youth on Chicago's south side, worked/lived in Korea, am currently a full time, long term volunteer in Honduras. Speak Spanish intermediately. History of adversity, only/first person in family to attend college. Have research experience. Was accepted to Columbia with funding, but waitlisted at U of Washington and U of Denver( because one letter of rec arrived a week late) - Still waiting to hear from one more school. Am interested in International Social Work.
