coollsy Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 HIIII I applied for MA biotechnology program at Columbia and anyone got accepted into the program? My status on website still says "submitted"..
vcherneky Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I have! My status is "submitted" as well. It's been submitted since december 2012
yorkies Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I have as well. What is taking so long??? coollsy I noticed you're in Toronto! So am I!
vcherneky Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 On the application website do you have some of the documents with a green tick to the right of "received" and others with a different symbol? I'm thinking of maybe calling the university, what do you think?

I'm thinking of maybe calling the university, what do you think? Yep, beside my recommendations and transcript I have a green tick, and beside my CV and statement of purpose it's like a document symbol. If you contact them let us know what they say! Although judging by previous year's results on the results search we won't hear back until early to mid-May.
vcherneky Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Ive seen previous posts from previous years... some got the letter around april 30th, other midmay, and some even july

coollsy Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Congratz Yorkies! You got into UPenn?!!that's awesome/ What school do you wanna go?
yorkies Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Congratz Yorkies! You got into UPenn?!!that's awesome/ What school do you wanna go? Hey thanks so much! I seriously have no idea. I'd love to be at either UPenn or Columbia. If I got into Columbia as well I think I'd be facing a major dilemma. I was really leaning towards UPenn before, but after doing some more research I really like Columbia's program as well! I basically have no clue what I'd do in that situation!
nicktim Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Hi guys, I am also waiting to hear from Columbia's Biotechnology M.A. program. Hopefully we will find out this week. Will let you know if I hear anything. Please keep me updated. Thanks

vcherneky Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Hi nicktim, no I didnt. I decided to wait. Are you planning on calling?
nicktim Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Hey guys, I just got an acceptance email from Columbia's director of biotechnology program. I haven't received the official offer letter for the school yet (pending final approval from Dean), but it's definitely great news since this program is perfect for my background.

coollsy Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 I'm still waiting and... this makes me so nervous
nicktim Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I'm still waiting and... this makes me so nervous I am sorry if my post made you nervous. Keep your head up!
nicktim Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Thanks for letting us know! and congratulations!!! Thank you very much, Yorkies. At the very least, you got into Penn, one of the most prestigious institutions in the world. Good luck and let us know how everything goes. Edited May 3, 2013 by nicktim
yorkies Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 coollsy - don't be nervous! I'm waiting right along with ya! I wonder if they look at our applications separately, since we're international. nicktim - Thanks a lot! I'm a little worried about Penn's engineering courses in their biotech program so I hope Columbia comes through. Hopefully if any one of us also gets accepted and decides to go to Columbia we can stay in touch over the summer!
vcherneky Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Woww congrats!! Im honestly checking my email every 2 hrs
yorkies Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 *2 min Lol, same here.... I keep looking at the LED light on my blackberry and when it blinks, I check it immediately and am always disappointed this is slowly driving me nuts! They can't drag this on any longer!
