| Columbia University | Computer Science, Other (F20) | Other via Other on 7 Jun 2020 | O | 7 Jun 2020 | - COVID-19 is a developing situation and things change rapidly. There are a lot of things at play that influences when the admission decisions go out. The application review process must have completed a long time ago (No need to change your application now). There is a chance that some more students will be admitted in the coming weeks. But like I had said earlier, everyone needs to wait till the school makes a decision. People who have decided to choose other schools should celebrate and move on. All the best!

| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 7 Jun 2020 | I | 7 Jun 2020 | - Completely agree. This is utterly hideous behavior from such a reputed university. Although I have decided to accept admit from another university, I deserve a decision(doesn't matter what). It's completely disrespectful to students to have to wait for more than 5 months for a decision. Covid-19 is no more an excuse as every other university has finished sending out the decisions and are already planning their Fall 2020 semester amidst the chaos. It looks like all that Columbia cared about is 85$ application fees. Byproduct of capitalism.

| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 7 Jun 2020 | O | 6 Jun 2020 | - I agree with the post below. I think it's completely disrespectful to tell applicants that they hope to have some information by the following week then go completely silent for the next 3 weeks. Regardless of the COVID situation, they should give us at least an update on how our applications are being reviewed...Anything?! What annoys me the most is actually the fact that I can still update my application, like really?!

| Columbia University (Fu Foundation School Of Engineering) | Computer Science, Masters (F19) | Other via Other on 6 Jun 2020 | U | 5 Jun 2020 | - Just quit waiting. The school is not respecting applicants. No longer worth going

| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 6 Jun 2020 | O | 5 Jun 2020 | - A followup on my last post: How many of you (accepted or waiting) are willing to pay the full tuition for online classes in Fall 2020?
My last post: Columbia is working on the logistics of the next academic year (2020-2021). There are multiple plans that have been proposed so far but the engineering school (and CS department) has not taken a decision. Most likely a decision will be made by the end of June (Depending on the COVID-19 situation then) and everyone will hear back about their application status. As of now, there is a very high chance that classes will be held online in Fall 2020 (for incoming students). I hope this helps. All the best!

| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 5 Jun 2020 | O | 5 Jun 2020 | - I havent even applied to Columbia Univ., but HUGE shoutout to the people with those MegaPosts keeping others up to date.

| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 2 Jun 2020 | I | 2 Jun 2020 | - TTPB: Thanks for all the information. Regarding the placement stats, was there 100% placement for the last batch?
|
| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 2 Jun 2020 | I | 2 Jun 2020 | - I wanted to throw answer few of the questions I read here...
First, the acceptance for the program is ~14% [Source: Admitted Student Webinar]
Second, they conducted a seminar where they were discussing about options for students to join on campus... They have joining options as Fall A, Fall B (Fall B will start on 26 October)... If fall is not possible ONLY DUE TO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS then, they will work with students for either SPRING or FALL 2021... They do not have a deferral option per se... Columbia is calling it delayed enrollment...
Third, They are coming with this weird online process for Fall 2020, I do not like that options... But, if someone wants to join they can do it... However, even if we opt for FALL B options we might not be able to attend classes in person at all times... They might break it into groups... For instance, a subject that has two class per week may enforce students from Group A to attend the lec in person, while the Group B attends it online, and vice-versa. They are still to make a final decision on things, there are no updates as of now...
Fourth, Students are still getting accepted I suppose as students are joining whatsapp and slack groups which I am part of now...
Fifth, They had around 194-195 students in class of December 2019 for Ms in Computer Science (for all 8 tracks)... Top recruits were from Amazon (50), Google (24), Facebook(12), Microsoft (11), and so on... Average salary compensation (for those interested): $141,865... Median: $125,000... Range: $75,000 - $280,000...
Sixth, They take about 3 week tops for I-20s and there is no last date for submission...
Seventh, They are very student friendly, that's something I gathered from few of the interactions I had...

| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 1 Jun 2020 | A | 1 Jun 2020 | - Yes, I am in the same boat, besides that I applied in September 2019, interviewed March 2020. My application decision is still pending. I got into two other Ivy League schools but Columbia is my top pick. Best of luck for everyone still waiting.
|
| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 1 Jun 2020 | | 1 Jun 2020 | - To the post below, yes you have companions. It has been officially over 3 weeks since CS department sent out that "we will sent update in the coming week" email. They should have at least give some timelines so people are not just waiting desperately.
|
| Columbia University | Computer Science, Masters (F20) | Other via Other on 1 Jun 2020 | I | 1 Jun 2020 | - Anyone else still pending? I think it is absolutely ridiculous that Columbia is making us wait this long! Especially if they are just going to reject me, how long does it take to send a rejection letter?!!!
