Columbia SIPA 2021

It will be very unusual if the decisions aren't released before Christmas. The Fall Semester exams end on 23rd, so the College doesn't go to holidays untill then. So still 2 days to look forward to.

While the schools are mostly not-so-flexible about accepting admissions material after deadlines, in your case chances are that they will be accomodating as its just an update and moreover you applied in Early Action Round. My suggestion is to send an email to admissions informing them about your offer and attach an updated resume. Anyhow its not gonna harm in any way, so why not do it. 

SIPA tends to finalize decisions by 15 December. You can expect them to roll out anytime after that. Last year the date was 19th December. 

Just as an update -- I emailed in mid-Novembe, they were super helpful and did include my updated CV in the application.

I hope so!! It's all I can think about

[prospectivegrad2021]

I mean if it's not today then we aren't hearing until the 26th right, cause the office is closed on the 24th/25th. 

The wait has been killing me!

Do we know when the admission office will open again? The 26th is a Saturday?

Congratulations to everyone. I am in as well for the MIA program. Has anyone received any word on funding yet? 

[prospectivegrad2021]

Got in, International Security Policy concentration with Conflict Resolution specialization! 

No word on funding yet though!

Congrats to everyone! I was accepted under the (MIA) Economic and Political Development concentration and got a separate scholarship award letter. 

[seeker94]

I was accepted to the MPA program as well - Urban and Social Policy!  No word on funding though.

 

I remember seeing a fellowship consideration deadline on 5th January, but I don't see any links to applications for that anymore. Does anyone else know if accepted candidates can still submit that somehow?

Congratulations! Did you submit any fellowship specific material along with the application or subsequently?
