BluRoze Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Oh my word! Columbia is the last school that I have yet to hear from...has anyone heard from them yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far_to_go Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I called Columbia yesterday morning and the lady I spoke with (presumably a secretary, I didn't get her name) told me that the decisions had just been finalized this week and that notifications will be made within the next two weeks. I just wanted her to tell me straight that I didn't get accepted so that I can move on with my life! But of course I didn't have the guts to ask her.

I just wanted her to tell me straight that I didn't get accepted so that I can move on with my life! But of course I didn't have the guts to ask her. Confusing. I thought the deal was meant to be that those who had been accepted had already been informally contacted. I had already kissed any hope of Columbia good-bye. Does this mean that there is a glimmer on the horizon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already kissed any hope of Columbia good-bye. Does this mean that there is a glimmer on the horizon? This is my story, which reinforces your perception (sorry): last week I emailed them, and I got a very gentle reply saying that those admitted had been notified the week before, and that I was not one of them. ... But I think they meant it as a joke, and I am sure a real acceptance offer is going to come out of an easter egg.... Hope we all get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

far_to_go Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I e-mailed the dept a few days ago to ask about my status (basically, asking for a rejection so I can move on), but still no reply. C'mon, Columbia, put me out of my misery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthro Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 has everyone been notified by Columbia? I am feeling annoyed at it being after 5 in NY on a Friday and no word for me. I know it will be a rejection, but I just want closure! anyone else still waiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 unfunded MA to me as well- that's the surprise, I knew there was a surprise... I see it as a "thank you" note. So- NO funding AT ALL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it will be a rejection, but I just want closure! anyone else still waiting? I'm still waiting on the notification e-mail too.

far_to_go Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I FINALLY got my rejection from Columbia on Friday afternoon (yesterday)! I had called and e-mailed the department multiple times, just asking them to turn me down. I'm glad that I have closure! As soon as I got the Columbia e-mail, I sent the e-mail that I'd had drafted for over 2 weeks to accept my offer at University of Virginia. And then I went out to a nice bar and had a glass of Columbia Crest Riesling. It feels good to be moving on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluRoze Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Wow, I have -yet- to hear from Columbia! I emailed them last week and I got the “we’ll get to you in two to three weeks” response. WTF? I see here that a few people have been notified already. So I figure I’m rejected…so why not just tell me already? Oy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have had no luck getting in touch with anyone. Did the timeline they give you even involve being notified before April 15? This is ridiculous. Anyone else have any information or commiseration?

"The department is still reviewing applications. You should expect to receive email notification of their decision within the next 2-3 weeks. Thank you." Very informative hu? April 15th is coming up, I wonder if we'll all get emails on April 14th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
