Columbia's MFA Fiction waitlist

[breakfastfordinner]

Hi everyone,

Does anybody have inside info on Columbia's waitlist for Fiction? I emailed admissions earlier today, but the response essentially said that they didn't have any more information and they'd let me know if a spot opened up. They also said they don't rank their waitlist. I really want to go to Columbia but I have to give other programs needing a decision soon. I'm feeling pretty stressed and any info about this year or even the process in past years would be helpful.

Thanks!

I can tell you that Columbia gives accepted students until April 24th to respond to the offer. So if you are torn between Columbia and another school, you might want to ask the other school for an extension to make your own decision, because an offer from Columbia’s waitlist might come later than the 15th.
