@pipiripao - Thanks! Yikes, March 10 isn't too far away :(

Hi guys!
I was admitted as well. The deadline for acceptance of the admission offer is 19 March 2012, which means that I have to make up my mind in less than two-week time.
I wonder what deadline did they set for the other lucky ones?
Thank you for your comments.

Congrats! I received my admission email last night and they set a deadline until March 26 for me. I wonder why we do not have all the same deadline...

Yes, odd. My deadline is March 23, while the admission was early February. I guess it's a "rolling" admission, and mysterious thought process...

I am sure there must be some reasonable explanation to this. Presumably, they have another promising candidate from the same country/region, whom they would like to offer the admission if I decline, but this is only a guess.

From all the programs I am applying, Columbia is the only one which is not very clear about their decision-making process. I am following this board and I've seen people getting admitted from the regular cycle in mid january with a 15-day difference between the application completed e-mail ad the admission offer. I wish I could understand their process... It would make it a lot easier not to lose my mind.

Has anyone heard about columbia admissions?

Yes got a rejection email a few hours ago. That's ok I got into NYU which is the school that I really wanted.:)

Hi,

I just got my acceptance email from Columbia :) I had applied for early review, but had been deferred to the regular cycle. I have to accept by March 30.

Good luck to all those waiting!

Still waiting...

I also applied in early review and still waiting...I hope they start sending more decision emails these days...

best luck to all!

Just got the admission email and applied on the 1st week of Dec. Good luck to you all!

I got an e-mail of 'complete application received' only on 10th Feb 2012, even though I had applied in Dec. Any idea as to when i may receive a decision?

Unfortunately, Columbia has a "on a rolling basis", which means you will receive a response by late April or early May.

My confirmation email also came in around February 7, but it seems at least one person who was equally late has had a response. I think our responses will be out before the end of the month at the latest.

For you all don't lose hope: I know someone from last year that received the admission mail (with a 50% scholarship) on May 10th. It means that it is really rolling basis...

Really? I am so sorry!

Would you mind sharing the date when you got completion email?

Do I understand it correctly that Columbia hasn't decided about scholarships yet but will take decisions by the end of May?
In my admission it is mentionned that I don't get financial aid, but as far as I understand it, financial aid and scholarships are treated as two different things by CLS.
Has anyone already been notified about a scholarship award?
