[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.

Submitted my application on May 20th and was notified via email that an update has been posted to my application on the portal.

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?

Submitted application mid-May was notified via email that an update has been posted to my application on the portal after 3 weeks. Accepted for the part-time Fall 21 cohort. Still waiting on background check/verification to complete.

TTPB: all the remaining applications are rejects, and the intern application season for summer 2022 is going to start, no need to wait for Columbia otherwise you will just waste your time and lose your chance for finding an internship

TT Post(s) Below: Is any of us waiting as an international applicant? I thought that colleges could not be this late in the decision-making as this makes joining difficult.

(Still waiting) I am on the same boat with a reactivated application. It is terrible that they are making us wait this long being so "reputable". No communications or responses from folks in the Columbia office. Somewhat telling of how little they care...

TTPB: Hey I'm the person who reactivated the application from Fall2020. I'm still waiting for the response from the school but almost hopeless I guess?..

Has anyone ever been rejected from this mother of cash cow program?

Was waitlisted on May 4th. Just got my acceptance, good luck to those who are on the waitlist!

Any response from Columbia to anyone whose applications were reactivated from last year? Also, what number did the people contact them on for querying about the decisions. I used the number they provide in the mail but got an automated response on the call as well. There's no information at all as to whether we're even being considered and until when should we wait. This is affecting our other plans as well. Anyone who's in similar bucket and what are they doing?

The lab I was interested in, and that I indicated in my statement of interest was not hiring any PhDs for this year as the professor told me during emails between us.

(Ignore WL) For other people reactivating from previous portal - has anyone got any response from the University so far? I haven't heard a peep, and it's a bit disheartening since other plans are on hold because of this...

I'm international student, I have undergraduate degree in US. The Columbia GSAS rejected me. I was fine until I saw on website "Unfortunately, admissions committees must base their decisions on materials that reduce unique individuals such as you to the components of their applications dossier." I don't quite understand what does it mean by "reduce unique individuals such as you to the components of their applications dossier" This is feels like an insult. Does anyone have similar respones?

Did even someone got in today? I am still waiting to hear back. I know it's not worth to wait but anyways .. but this is ridiculous from reputed Columbia Can someone tell from which email address you got the mail? I am worried if it went into spam box

At last, I got a notification regarding my admission status. I do not get why they did not send me an email earlier seeing that I was rejected and not on the waiting list. 5 and a half month is time enough to think and torture you mind ... Congrats to everyone that got in !

Just got rejected, MSCS. Not that it matters, already accepted a better program elsewhere. Imagine being strung along for months smh, someone at Columbia's grad admissions seriously dropped the ball this year.

TTPB- Hi, I am on the waitlist for the GSAPP's Urban Planning program too. Could you please tell me how did you connect with the admission committee. I haven't received any update from them since April 30th. Are there any other Urban Planning applicants on the waitlist to GSAPP?
