Thank you :-)

so still now news from Columbia...

Guys... i just went on my CLS app tracker and it says that current status date: 2/5/2014

does this mean i will only get a decision on the 2nd of may?!

This means that your status was updated last time on February 5, 2014

I got my decision today!

Hi vth,

Congratulations! Did you apply for the regular circle? If yes, when did you submit your application?

any news today?

Hi vth,

Thank you, vth.

Admitted. Got decision yesterday. Applied almost on the last day. I am from Russia.

which means not hearing anything back yesterday is a sign of rejection? :(((

Not necessarily. It depends on when your application was complete. So you still have the chances to be admitted. My application got complete only at the beginning of March. I requested an expedited decision as I have April 1 deadline for couple of schools. They promised to do their best but could not guarantee, of course.

how do i know this? i didnt get any notification... (at the expense of sounding extremely blonde)

You probably received instructions in their initial email sent right after your applcation was received. Basically you should register on columbia website to get access to link with online status check.

oh yea i already all that. thanks! :)

I guess I just have to remain patient at this stage ...

good luck to those in the same boat.

What irks me is that (as far as I know) the students who have received a deferral have not heard back. Do correct me if I am wrong.
But the rate at which they are going, what if all/most of the seats are filled up, by the time they get around to looking at us?
It is possible that a candidate who applied in the early review simply misses out on a chance, because his documents are looked at too late in the day when very few seats remain.

the waiting is killing me..
I have the impression we will never get an answer

does the status change to something other than "your application is complete"?
