sarah: i waited this long and i was thinkin about waiting a bit more, but im thinking of sending them a fax with letters of admission from other universities hoping to expedite the review of my file...b/c if its going to be a rejection, id rather have it now and not at the end of the month, having to rush with NYU enrollment and housing (quite an important issue right now)

Anushka, let me say that this is exactly what you should do. I did the same and I received CLS answer two days later. GOOD LUCK!

Anushka, pl let us know the reply . Thanks !

Can anyone pl let us know the deadline for appilcation for housing at Columbia ? By the time Columbia replies there would be no in-campus housing left so don't want to take a risk to wait.

I sent the fax today...let's see what (and when) they reply...
I'll keep you guys posted.

What happens when you call them directly? I tried calling just now but was on hold too long so I hung up.

long distance calls are not too appealing at the moment when i can send faxes from my office...lol...btw, i have no idea if they got my fax...total silence...but that, i understand...simply hoping i hear from them soon...that is to say, by next week.

Good luck anushka!!!! Please keep us informed!! Best regards,

To all those who have been admitted to CLS, can you pl let us know the deadline for housing ? Thankyou.

hey anushka...any news yet??? am tired waiting...am going to fax them my offer letters too...n hopefully they'll bother...will they???

scotty: no news yet...nothing...
gonna wait for a week, and if there are still no news next week, then i'm sending my enrollment form to NYU...can't waste more time "paralyzed" because of CLS's silence.

anushka,

Why not simply call them? It is far more direct than sending a fax.

Good luck.

Do you think it wise to 'bother' them ? Maybe they want to feel "comfortable" about the application before sending an email ?

Hi, everyone, I am in the same situation and I paid my deposit to Georgetown to keep my place / deadline April 3/, but I prefer Columbia - it is not fair. Next payment is after 4 weeks and I hope to have an answer from Columbia until then:)

I honestly don't think a polite phone call would hurt.

hi Anushka and other applicants waiting for news from columbia:)

don't even bother about faxes and telephones. most colleges are severely understaffed.........more so during admission times.

i sent an email along with a JPEG scan of my admission letters. i got a reply from marrietta informing me of my admission within 48 hours.

please be sure to include jpeg scans of ur admission letters to verify the details. wish u guys best of luck!

hi saloman,

my "big admit" was the Fulbright-Case Fellowship Grant...... which is a full tuition waiver plus living expenses, med insurance, books, flight fare etc.

what i was seeking to stress earlier is that email might be a better way to getting thru the staff at columbia ...who in my experience have been very cordial and efficient thus far. i did get this reply within 48 hours of my email asking them to expedite my review...........sadly no aid:(
