Actually starting January 2021. Received email to check website. As I had other offers, I had contacted NYU two weeks earlier and they expedited my application.

Received an email to check application status in the portal. Very cold form letter from Dean of Grad School.

After being waitlisted in April. 0a/0w/7r/0p

Accepted into Columbia off of the waitlist. Emailed by director Victor LaValle.

Accepted off the waitlist this morning. This is so crazy, but I'm unsure if I'll be able to go until I hear about funding. Still so stoked. This was a dream.

I don't know if I'll take it, as they said there's no funding in the present or future.

Accepted via e-mail portal.

Well that's it.

Sooo...has anyone else seen stage 6 on their application? The online stage describes this as in graduate college review. It says a recommendation has been made...does that mean potential acceptance or am I getting my hopes up?

A generic email informing that it was competitive and many qualified applicants have been turned away. 1a/1w/0p

Not surprised after not hearing back from them in March. However, I already accepted another school before I got the letter, so it all worked out. Everyone hang in there.

In off waitlist!

Admitted from waitlist :)

1a/2w/10r/2p

Flattered, but planning on turning this down since I've already accepted another offer. Hope this helps another waitlister! :)
