Guest taobenli Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Hi, dookie- I haven't heard a thing since I applied. My GRE was terrible and I know they can afford to be selective, so I'm quite sure I won't get in. I'm waiting for Indiana (EALC, not anthro) and U. Pittsburgh and UC Irvine, and I think I have a better chance at those places. I've had one rejection (Washington University in St. Louis) and one waitlist (UIUC). This is driving me crazy!
Guest Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 some comments on whogotin, nothing for sure... still waiting too! uc irvine informed quote a few people already - no rej/acc for me yet
Guest dookie. Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Hey peeps, Thanks for the responses! Glad I'm not the only one waiting! tao - My GRE score was alright, but it wasn't fantabulous (690 V/690 Q/ 6.0 AW). Before I had written it, I spoke to a prof at Columbia about the range they were looking for, and apparently they don't think much of the GRE and almost completely ignore the quantitative section (phew). So the big variables are the writing sample, recommendation letters and personal statement. What I'm trying to say is, don't give up hope yet! I've heard back from other schools and am all smiles on those two fronts, but Columbia...pesky, elusive, sadistic Columbia. They're gonna make us squirm.
Guest dookie. Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 somebody say something!!!!! silence sucks. maybe it's not silence, or maybe its silence as resistance. that feels better. I think losing it. dookie going kooky.
Guest taobenli Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Not silence on purpose, or as resistance... I feel like I'm probably screwed. I have 4 schools I'm waiting to hear anything from, Columbia being one of them (but really not at the top of my list). My GRE scores are much worse than yours. What schools did you get accepted to? You probably said earlier, but I'm too lazy to look back... taobenli
Guest dookie. Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 tao, I applied to 4 schools. Was accepted at 2, rejected at one, and am still waiting to hear back from Columbia. I don't really want to leak the details on the two schools I was accepted at. The cohorts are really small!!!!!
Guest dookie. Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 lol, nice try. how are you holding up, blah? i hadn't discovered these forums until last week. it's kinda nice to see other students in the same position..... waiting....impatiently. misery loves company, dookie.

Guest gim Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I'm waiting too. Why haven't we heard anything? I don't think my interests really match with anyone there, so I'm not holding my breath, and I have other offers, but I still want closure!
Guest Guest Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Supposedly Columbia sent letters out on Thursday...I'll be really glad once I know something either way...
