Got rejected due to a lack of working experience. Can't say I didn't really expect it... Got admitted in Chicago etc. though, so I won't cry about it...
Kind regards

They sent you a message to ask you to reapply next year?
Anyways, with good credentials, you'll get in at Harvard.

Yup they did send me that e-mail... However I am not intending to give a positive following to it... I mean for me Chicago is at the same level as Columbia and I am still waiting for NYU and Harvard... So I will try and deal with it although it is a pitty....

Well, I have always found this emails quite stupid. If your credentials are good enough, you should be admitted even with limited work experience. Anyways, good luck for HLS!

Any news at all? The waiting is so stressful!
Posted Feb 16, 2011 07:40
Nope.
I have to say you're right... It is kind of stressful!
I wish I had an early offer with a deadline to expedite the decision.

Dear all,
As far I know, Columbia has accepted 6 chilean students so far... Some with amazing records, others with good records (something more "normal" I mean, but still very good).
Also, I heard that other chilean students had received a rejection letter, but I don't know the records of them.
So, it is clear that we must wait for the response of Columbia, and the fact of haven't received anything yet doesn't mean nothing (I beleive)
Best,

this entire system of random results leaves a lot of students in the lurch. Dont quite know what to make of it.

Exactly, and this randomness could go on for months for some.

No it doesn't because some people get their results earlier for no rhyme of reason- if their objective is to get the best students- they shd ideally review each of them- compare and contrast and then make a final call.
