I just looked out of curiosity at my application status and it was listed as pending interview. literally moments later I received my invite to a group interview! I submitted my application on the morning of feb 5.
I was also waitlisted at Berkeley for MAP. I'm out of state as well. I wonder how many MAP spaces there are? A friend of mine in CFS said tons of students come off the waitlist so don't lose hope everyone!
Meanwhile Columbia is insisting I let them know by the end of next week...
