1. I am to make decision confirming entrance to the program by April 16, meaning I can make decision on Monday right before deadline? is it possible to make decision later than that? A: It is possible to request an extension to reply to our offer of admissions. How long would you need an extension for? 2. If I were to withdrawing from my commitment after April 16. What are the penalties? A: If you accepted our offer and then withdrew your decision, we would not refund your $500 deposit. Ok. so what would be the ideal approach? Since columbia did not give me any type of decision, should I assume it is most likely reject? If there is even slimmest possibility of me getting accepted, how long should I ask for extension? Or would It be better to just accept it, given that columbia might not give result anytime soon, and I won't be able to ask for too long extension. Then just withdraw, lose 500$ if I get in to columbia by least likely chance for peace of mind?

Yea thanks I sent email to every school asking questions. If I just accept Upenn on April 16 would that be it? everything done? or after I finish with it they will make me do more things like request finacial document or some additional document by April 16?

Omg. I'm in panic mode. I have been accepted several places but so far the top choice out of all the accepted is Upenn. But I really want to go to columbia which is still no result, even thought April 16 is days left. Masters in Construction Engineering And Management is what I have applied for columbia. I see some people in gradcafe result came out. I don't know what to do because if I just accept upenn for now and change to columbia when their decision comes out, its going to look really bad. I email them few days ago and all they say is high volume of application material so they dont have time to check, so I should check its status by logging into my online application. I check online application everyday and it doesn't say accepted, rejected, nor wait listed. All I see next to submission status is "submitted". I am not sure if its just me not looking at the right place on website but I'm so confused. Help is very much appreciated. Thanks.
