lanabeni Posted March 1, 2018 Author Posted March 1, 2018 I wonder... So according to one person here they have 30 days to make a decision of attend or not attend. I wonder if the 30 day deadline for those folks will start the next round of admitting folks? I don't want to think we are the leftovers, but maybe its a case of they want the top folks/people who applied super early to get first dibs before they start rolling admissions?

I was thinking that, but that would mean the earliest people who were accepted would have to reply by March 15th, which seems pretty late to release the next set of decisions?

I mean the staff did say the first few weeks of March. If we don't count this week, then that would be two weeks from now. Plus if we look at the 2017 thread, a surge of people got their admission notices in February. We haven't seen that surge yet so maybe that will happen soon? I don't know, just staying positive

Has anyone heard any more updates? I emailed them last week and they said the first few weeks of March but I'm not understanding how some people heard back weeks ago and the rest of us keep getting the runaround. It's so frustrating!! I'm feeling the exact same way. I already sent my deposit into Rutgers but I just want to hear if I got accepted into Columbia! The wait is ridiculous

I don't know, just staying positive I keep trying to make sense of it too, but I think that this year they were hit with a lot more applications than they maybe expected, so I don't think they really have a method to the madness in terms of waiting/releasing other acceptances...just gotta be patient...as much as we possibly can at this point. honeynut 1

The wait is ridiculous If you send in a deposit, are you able to withdraw easily or is it a whole process? (I know you won't get the deposit back, I just hate asking for additional extensions on top of the first ones while waiting on these schools to get their ish together)

I'm not entirely sure. The only thing I know about that they do is the one year deferment thing in case you can't start that year. I forget how much of a deposit it is but I saw that on their website and in emails! They basically hold your spot in the program until the next year

2733amh Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 the acceptance letters require us to commit to attending within 30 days of the date printed on the acceptance - i was feb 15th so i need to let them know by march 15th. i just emailed today to ask about merit scholarship offers but it's highly unlikely i'll be accepting my spot (most likely headed to Georgetown Law for a JD) so i will be throwing another acceptance back in the pool and hope it goes to one of ya'll who are anxiously waiting still!! stheart, o___livia and Kat_MSW2018 2 1
stheart Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 You guys are the most anxious, vocal, and persistent bunch out of all the school threads I've read lol wokebrowngirl and Kat_MSW2018 2

The wait is ridiculous I heard back from NYU in December and already had to ask for 2 extensions and UPenn gave me until March 15 and I reallyyyyy don't want to ask them for an extension as well. Columbia is my top choice but this wait is ridiculous?

It looks like most people have too. Will be interesting to see when/how it happens

honeynut Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 I applied December 1 and didn’t receive the “application complete” email until January 5th, and it was a couple hours after I called them to confirm that All my materials were submitted.

Oh yeah, that could be why I received mine so early - I called them on the 19th, I think, to make sure they had everything.
honeynut Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 I am praying for everyone’s sanity on here that the rest of us get our decisions tonight. If I don’t hear I’m not sure I can make it through the weekend without dissolving into a gooey sludge o___livia 1
