Pitch,
Do you know how many applications were submitted this year and how many people will be admitted?
Thank you,

And by the way, I have heard of some 12 brazilians last year in Columbia.
Let`s see...

I don't know if it does any good to anyone in this thread, but I will tell you regardless. A friend's sister received the letter of admission to Columbia the past Monday (26/01). She is Colombian, but works in an NGO in NY city. I on't know anything else on her CV or GPA, but I know for sure she was admitted, and the date. Still optimistic...don't put your hopes down crimlawyer...I think we still have a pretty good chance, if not, we would have been rejected up front.
