Graduate School Admission Results

What even is Columbia grad admissions doing? I applied very early (October 2019) and interviewed on March 10. If they really take this long to make a decision, then maybe they're not that smart. I know I don't have the best profile and there's a stronger chance of being rejected, but then at least give my rejection instead of making me wait so long. Seriously! What the fuck! Okay. Rant over.

Received email about waitlist status around 3pm PT.

Canadian: Emailed inquiring about the admissions process in the midst of COVID-19–was told I was waitlisted.

TTPB: I don't remember precisely when I have applied, but it was 5-6 days before the deadline of the second wave of applications. I took the interview on March 13. Good luck!

TTPB : When did you submit your application? Also did you had any interview ?? If yes, when? Thanks!

HCI (initials: DY). I had an interview in early February

TTPB: Most probably only rejects are remaining at this point of time. I'm too in the same boat, no update on application yet. I have emailed them twice now, no reply on either of emails :(

Are there only rejections remaining? : (

TTPB thanks for the response. Can you also share your area of interest or POI? Also did you have an interview?

TTPB: I received two emails at the same time, one telling me to check the portal for my letter and one from the head of the admission committee

TTPB: Did you receive your acceptance through mail or did the status changed on the portal?

Department's funding: $20k/first year, $22k/second year

TTPB: Yeah, even my status is "Complete and Submitted. You can still edit any section" Someone told me this changes to simply "Complete and Submitted" once they are reviewing your application, not sure though. So many accepts have been sent out, even to a couple of friends who submitted around the same time as me. Therefore not very hopeful at this point, simply waiting for the rejection notification. Ridiculous considering the obscene application costs for most universities and many don't even reply to emails or even send rejection letters when they have already decided.

People applied what is your Submission status in the portal? mine is "Complete and submitted. You can still update any section"

TTPB : I also received email notification from UBC about being wait listed. How many students are there on waitlist this year?(approx number) Do you know when will they notify their final decision? Thanks in advance

International Student from India, Received waitlisted email notification on 29-Mar-20. Option to apply to MDS-CL was given with the last date to apply by 5-Mar-20. Applied to MDS-CL as well. Too many students were put on the waitlist list this year, I think due to COVID-19.

No specific reason was given.

I applied for the Winter 2021 session starting from Jan 2021. Most entries here are of the F20 category. Does anybody know when winter admits are sent out? Haven't received any updates apart from a COVID-19 email. Also no clue from statistics of previous years.
