Computer Science Masters Graduate School Admission Results

Applied by priority deadline. Didn't receive interview invite. Emailed asking for status update, got a reject on app portal after a few hrs.

First acceptance!! Undergrad from top IIT (India), 9+ GPA, 2 papers at moderate venues (first author, 1 under review), 2 DS internships (incl. at MNC), GRE 335 (170Q), good relation with LoR writers. Having good extracurriculars and being able to talk about my industrial internship experience helped a lot in the interview.

TTPB: but if they give out results in july how can someone manage VISA and logistics? Its no point rolling out decisions in July I feel

TTPB: I don't know how many more. Im not on the committee or anything, this is all just based on my observations. In general, Columbia seems very apprehensive rejecting people before they need to.

oh I see. How many of students will get accepted at this point? (regarding international students)

The reason why Columbia is holding out so late is because they're seeing just how many of their international admitees are actually able to come to campus. I was accepted in March and they send me constant emails on updating my visa status, etc. They're just playing it as safe as possible so they don't miss any opportunities.

Is there any international student who didn't get a result yet? I didn't get any result even a waitlist..

Lol waitlisted but I seriously think is someone still waiting to accept? I suppose by now everyone must have accepted their admits and planning the logistics Columbia is making us fools. (

Waitlisted today after writing multiple strongly worded emails. This delay is ridiculous and so unprofessional for a University of Columbia's caliber. Almost seems like because they're so late with decisions, they're waitlisting individuals instead of actually making a decision right now.

TTPB: I too received a rejection today. But did you notice that the rejection is for the (MS/PhD) /PhD Track and not the MS Track?

TTPB: I too received a rejection update. But did you notice that the update was for the MS/PhD track and not for the transferred application for MS-only track?

Initially applied to the Computer Science Ph.D. program.

After over 4 months of waiting, finally was told today that I was put on the waitlist. Really feels like they could have told me that a lot sooner. At this point I've already paid my deposit and registered for classes elsewhere.

Wtf Columbia. Is this the time to add people to waitlists??? U should get ur waitlisted decisions by now. ( Got a mail saying status : Waitlisted )

[TTPBs]: I think we can report the disrespectful behavior of Columbia Engineering Graduate Admission to the school. They are not fulfilling their responsibilities at all.

TTPB: I don't think so.. And this is what really disrespectful. Making applicants wait for a half of the year without any notice. Is this how the Columbia treats their student?

[ignore wl] Can we withdraw our application and ask for a refund of our application fee?
