I did.

 

[strattb]

I did.

Oh shit, so for those like me who don't have the current status, we should get rejected ....

Has anyone received an admit in the past two weeks? Or has it been only waitlists and rejects? If there haven’t been any offers going out, can we assume the class is currently full?

one of my friends got in during the release of first batch of admits and he could only find 10 other people till now. I dont think class is even half full

Seems a bit unlikely that the class wouldn't be nearly full by now since most would have had to make a decision already

I agree. I think a lot has been going on and while I think it’s unfortunate we haven’t received any additional communication, Columbia is still a fine institution and I’m sure they’ll get back to us soon. Best of luck to everyone!

Columbia couldn't have prepared for the protests it's facing. It was inevitable that the protests would affect the University's operations. To be fair Columbia seemed slow before the protests broke out, but once they did I understood completely why there was a delay. The waitlist letter's went out on the 10th with a week deadline for a reply. This forum will likely light up on 5/18 and after once Columbia knows who is still available for admission. If not a lot of people reserve a waitlist spot, I could see a second round of waitlist offers coming. But to be realistic, if you are not currently on the waitlist your chance of admission is near zero, sorry to whoever is in that camp.

Just the protests don't justify this massive delay and lack of communication. IEOR admissions is just very messed up/disorganized this year, they are not even answering phone calls. I have applied to other programs at Columbia that of course were affected by the protests and received a response in a fair amount of time.

any new update??

 

[jmepowl]

Any idea how long it takes to hear back for those waitlisted on 10th May?

 

[jmepowl]

the whole visa and funding process takes at least 2 months for international students like me. columbia has already delayed tooo much.
why can't they just hire more people to the admissions team?

Got the current status heading today. Honestly didn't think they still do that. I thought some people just get waitlisted without the current status heading.

When I called them a long time ago, they said everyone goes through a faculty committee so maybe everyone should have the current status header at some point given this logic.

I'm very surprised that they actually told you that, given how everyone just gets the same copy-paste response when asking about admissions process/timeline.

Also, it would mean that they just opened my application today if what you/they said was true and I wonder how many apps are left to be reviewed in the pool.
