Sunset95 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Well, it's almost 7pm here on the east coast so it's safe to assume I won't be hearing back tonight. Hopefully I'll get some news tomorrow. And congrats to everyone who got accepted today!! doctormelody 1

There is a whole other thread of people in the Application section of Grad Cafe. I have no idea what to expect at this point nor when. They are not sending rejections based on what I’ve seen which means they are sitting on them or people aren’t posting them. My fear is that I think I’ve seen a clinical mental health saying they got in from I believe February 15. So I’m not sure if they haven’t got through priority people yet, something else is going in with online people in that, or if I’m reading way too much into it and they are really swamped. It honestly feels like applying Dec 1st didn’t matter lol I want to call tomorrow but then I’m not sure if it is coming soon so I’m being a crazy person lol Coping pizza tonight

Still, if I were in your shoes, I'd call - I doubt it can hurt, and it sounds like it might be a little while still. Pizza is always a great coping mechanism, lol. honeynut 1
doctormelody Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) @lanabeni, and anyone else, really - do you know if Columbia gives any merit aid for the online program? I'm not really too keen on moving back to NY if I were to get in, which - let me be clear - I HIGHLY doubt I will. But I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing more research into the online program just to see if it would be doable. I might reapply next year, who knows... Edited March 7, 2018 by doctormelody

Sunset95 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I doubt we'll hear anything today. With this nor'easter they're probably "closed." (Yes, the quotation marks are sarcasm?)

I submitted everything January 17th so idk I feel like I was towards the end but not really

Who knows at this point though.

Who knows at this point though. Exactly. I already committed to Rutgers but I applied and would like to know if I got in. I may call and ask if they can let me know and then tell them I won't be attending

If I don't hear back by tomorrow then I'll call on Friday, but I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing if I call.

I actually emailed them towards the end of last month about having other schools to let you know and they literally told me sorry but tell them you need an extension I was like oookkkayyyy like thank you for not answering my question about when I will hear back

We'll see what they say.

doctormelody Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Man, if I were you guys, I would be resisting the urge to call them every day, lol. I do wonder when they're gonna be able to get back to us non-priority applicants... probably not until May, at this rate. Kathryn1994 1
