Political Science, Columbia University NOT WAITLISED! Hello, again, fellow Columbia polisci MA applicants. This is the same person that responded on April 28th. Today is May 8th and still no response from Columbia. Holly Martis is the political science department's Graduate Program Coordinator (dropping her name here in case anyone is interested in contacting her about the application review process). I've decided I will not reach out to the political science department or the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences because we all know what they will tell us if we inquire about our applications! They will respond by stating we, the applicants, must wait until we receive an official email indicating a decision has been made on our applications because, under university/graduate school/department policy, the status of an application cannot be divulged to the applicant until they receive that official email. There really exists no point in reaching out to the graduate program coordinator, department, or the graduate school...we all just have to wait...there is nothing we can do but wait. Here is something I found on the political science department's website: "The department continues to admit students through the spring. Hence, notifications to students who are declined admission usually are not sent until the early summer. Although the department recognizes that this is less than ideal for most candidates who may be weighing other options, the department cannot respond to applicant inquiries until the admission process is complete". Whether I'm rejected or accepted, I'll be returning to Grad Cafe to inform you all. My final analysis: Columbia seriously needs to hurry up...I'm sure an admissions committee position calls for a lot of work and I'm sure it's exorbitantly difficult to decide which students will be accepted and which will not and I'm sure it's very time-consuming...but c'mon people...if you already made a decision just let us know already...Christ! Anyway...good luck to you all.

Computer Science, Columbia University [Ignore WL) So I applied to the MS CS program before the first priority deadline in early January. Today it has been nearly 5 MONTHS and still no updates whatsoever from Columbia. I emailed admissions but just got an email saying they were unable to respond to individual inquiries regarding application status... Honestly for a prestigious school like Columbia, this is completely unacceptable and disrespectful toward applicants

Computer Science, Columbia University TTPB: I applied with priority deadline. Did not get any email today from Columbia nor have I heard anything from them since submitting my application in December. Do you know what's going on and if I still have a chance?

Data Science, Columbia University To Mr/Mrs. 9.3/6 . I'm guessing you're from India since you rated your GPA out of a 10 point scale and had to write the IELTS. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Admissions committees in the US, especially in professional, non-thesis programs really do not care about how high your GPA is as long as your grades are good enough to inspire confidence that you can succeed in their program. It's great that you worked hard and achieved academic success, but being condescending to people who were admitted(because their applications were clearly better than yours) is very childish. I know that this condescension is especially a problem in India because people with 9 cgpas feel entitled to acceptances from the best colleges in the world. You probably fell short on your essay, research or extracurriculars or they probably felt that your overall profile wasn't a good fit for them. Take your bitterness and turn it into something productive. You literally got into NYU and CMU, I don't understand why you feel the need to be so damn negative.
