LunaSea Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Does anyone know when we hear back from Columbia for their Liberal Studies Masters? I applied in February but they pushed their deadline back to APRIL 1ST! Is it rolling admissions or will I probably not hear from them until August?
crazythings Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Back in March they told me they would reply one month after the deadline and since they extended it, i think we should hear back around May1st.
crazythings Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 have you heard back yet? i haven't. Maybe next week. I can't wait any longer, it's driving me crazy!
LunaSea Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 I haven't heard yet either. It must be this week- the suspense is killing me!
noname086 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I still haven't heard anything either and now I'm getting worried. Do they send all the decisions out at once or maybe the acceptances first?
mn223 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I just emailed the Liberal Studies office and received a reply with minutes: "The applications were reviewed and returned to the Office of Admissions this week. You should be receiving official word on your application from that office any day now"
rach5698 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Has anyone heard yet? I emailed them two weeks ago and they said we should know by May 1st and that we'd be notified via email. I just read they were done on May 8th..how much longer do you think it will be?????
crazythings Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I still haven't heard either, and I sent them another email last night... hopefully we'll hear back sooooon!
crazythings Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Your application was evaluated and returned to the Office of Admissions last week. You should be receiving word via email from that office any day now. just got this email too.
rach5698 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 So I guess this means that "any day" is probably not today. I'm so tired of waiting!!!
rach5698 Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 So in addition to checking my email religiously, I'm checking this board constantly....I just found this on the stats page: Columbia GSAS Human Rights LSMA, Masters Accepted via E-mail on 8 May 2009 A 11 May 2009 e email to check website So does this mean that if we didn't get an email on Friday we're rejected??? Has anyone heard anything? I'm obviously going crazy over here!!! http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?t=w&o=i&p=1
LunaSea Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 omg!!! Maybe they are sending the emails out in increments Maybe they just sent the HR ones out, not the other divisions yet Maybe.... ? What I want to know is what "Email to check website" means. Someone here emailed them on the 8th and got a response saying "you'll be notified shortly" and I have sifted through every detail on the LSMA website and have seen nothing about acceptance notifications.
LunaSea Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 ya know what, I'm looking at the other "accepted" stories on that board, and people received their emails from GSAS anywhere from May 8th to today the 13th. There doesn't seem to be a set date they all were sent out, so I would fear not! (sigh)
rach5698 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 I'm debating on emailing or calling them again....my last email was sent on May 1st...
LunaSea Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 Same here- I've read horror stories in other discussion about Columbia losing applications! I'm afraid of the same fate. Maybe we're waitlisted?
rach5698 Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Ok..I just called admissions. They said that decisions were entered into the computer on May 11th and will be emailed out tomorrow!!!
evilevie Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 anyone heard yet? Havn't heard a peep. They told me Columbia LSMA HR was decided last thursday or friday so I should be hearing back soon. I never got an e-mail saying that - was this sent out automatically?
rach5698 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I called the admissions office yesterday. They gave me the name of the person in charged of the LSMA HR applications. She told me that decisions were entered into their system on Monday and were set up to be sent out today! I haven't heard yet either!!!
LunaSea Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 Thanks for the info Rach! It's only 11.30am and this has been the slowest day ever! I'm checking my computer every 5 minutes :roll:
evilevie Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 yeah, I spoke with Balicki who provided the information. I hope they send them out soon. Suspense is killing me. Please post as soon as you've heard something and I'll do likewise! good luck, all!
evilevie Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 and just because I'm so distracted and bored right now waiting, Balicki also said decisions were not rolling. They would all be evaluated after everything was submitted. I'm thinking, though, that if they extended the application deadline to April, they might not have been getting enough applicants. Hopefully this means we have a higher chance of getting in...
rach5698 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 I keep checking every 5 minutes too!! And then I keep checking this board to see if anyone here has posted!1 What are they waiting for???
evilevie Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 seriously...ugh. so did admission say the decision would be sent for sure by e-mail first? are we getting a formal letter too? cuz if they're only mailing out by snail mail today, it might not get to us until next week...
