bayer Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 i've just gotten an acceptance email from columbia. good luck everyone! Well done!
k314 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Any indication that it was a mass email or individually sent? the only personalized element is my first name, so it seems likely a bunch could have gone out en masse. it's from the director of graduate studies and specifies that it's an informal offer (i.e. the department has recommended me for admission and once the grad school approves i'll get an official letter by fedex). oh, and it says they're aiming to enroll about 20 students...
fenderpete Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I just got an email from Columbia about some Climate MA briefing but nothing about admission/rejection. They're really toying with my sanity here!!!
plisar Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I just got an email from Columbia about some Climate MA briefing but nothing about admission/rejection. They're really toying with my sanity here!!! Yeah, me too. That wasn't nice of them.
PollyTheory Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I just got an email from Columbia about some Climate MA briefing but nothing about admission/rejection. They're really toying with my sanity here!!! It's better than getting excited when the little "new message" pops up only to find "An Exceptional Diner Value Each Day of the Week" e-mail from Silver Diner...
fenderpete Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Yeah, me too. That wasn't nice of them. Cue horrific overanalysing of whether that means we're now on some grad mailing list or they're just spamming us.
bayer Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Cue horrific overanalysing of whether that means we're now on some grad mailing list or they're just spamming us. the former is insanely far-fetched my dear...
k314 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 It's better than getting excited when the little "new message" pops up only to find "An Exceptional Diner Value Each Day of the Week" e-mail from Silver Diner... yeah, this week i've been seriously regretting all the google alerts i'm signed up for...
AllFiredUp Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Well, this is certainly nerve-wracking. I have just been tipped off that Columbia will be notifying all acceptees in the next few hours. I've got a request for 99 bottles of beer on the wall....anyone?

I've got a request for 99 bottles of beer on the wall....anyone? Well. It's Friday and it's happy hour somewhere.... why not start now??
theorygirl Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Cue horrific overanalysing of whether that means we're now on some grad mailing list or they're just spamming us. I received that email too and I didn't even apply to Columbia - so there you go.

rlayla Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Well. It's Friday and it's happy hour somewhere.... why not start now?? Agreed. I'm going to make this coffee Irish pretty soon.
AllFiredUp Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 who's the intelligence from?? Well-sourced graduate student in the department.
plisar Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I received that email too and I didn't even apply to Columbia - so there you go. Congrats you're in!!!
fenderpete Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, good to know. Pretty annoying that they've chosen today to start randomly spamming people. LOL plisar
BigCheese Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 wtf they just sent me that climate MA information as well... grrrrrr
swr22 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 If I am yet to receive an admission email from Michigan and there is no link on Wolverine Access, should I just write it off?
fenderpete Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 wtf they just sent me that climate MA information as well... grrrrrr You're in too then
fenderpete Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Another one in on the results page, comparative and IPE apparently.
fenderpete Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Presumably they're being done individually then due to the time lags in between people posting... 17 to go I guess...
