Computer Science, Columbia University I submitted for Columbia ten days after you. Application system still says "decision pending." They're quicker than I expected, tho. Congrats again!

Computer Science, Columbia University No email - status changed to rejected on their website. Just like Berkeley, they said their acceptance rate is less than 10% this year.

Computer Science, Columbia University Given that it took so long for them to notify and since so many others had already got admission offers can not say I am surprised. It is rankling me even though I got through other schools which have a far better theory group...They just wrote 'Rejeceted' ..what a classy school!

Political Science, Columbia University It's a bummer to be rejected because whether or not we all buy the criterion, Columbia is a "top" program. The implication is that those of us who are rejected don't deserve to be "at the top." But look (and this is response to the mini-fight below): some of us react by defending our own records (which we are fully aware, in many cases, are comparable to those admitted), and some of us react (whether admitted or accepted) by attacking those who become defensive (becoming, therefore, a defense of the system, no?). To me the bottom line is that it's an incredible competitive process, it's a mix of both aptitude and crapshoot, and those who recognize it (on either side of where the chips fall) may well be the wiser and the happier.
I almost regret posting this long a message for Columbia, as it adds to the mystique (sorry, Columbia peoples) of an acceptance or rejection, and as I am, personally, completely thrilled to accept the great offer I've been offered elsewhere. Frankly, I'll look forward, in the next 5 years or so, to meeting my peers-- both in the conference and placement process-- from a wide variety of programs.

Computer Science, Columbia University I applied in mid december and got the rejection ike a month ago (the same date as stanford)... the website status changed every time so I guess there are chances if you haven't heard from them....

Political Science, Columbia University GSAS It's also an incredibly abstract process. Plenty of people applied to Columbia with very high GREs and GPAs but were still rejected. Good numbers will never guarantee admission. I imagine nobody who was accepted to Columbia (or Chicago, or Princeton, or Harvard) was confident of getting in.
