Sunset95 Posted March 6, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctormelody Posted March 7, 2018 Share 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...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctormelody Posted March 7, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
