[TTPB]: When did you apply to the Applied Analytics program and when were you emailed to schedule an interview? Thanks!

Anyone who interviewed from this program got their result?

2 years research experience. 1 summer research internship. Strong letters of recommendation.

App in: April 2021 Waitlisted: May 2021

I received an email from the chairperson and told me that I did not make it to the cut as there were only 2 people admitted for the PhD program. This is because of the limited funding they got for graduate students. Also, they let me know that there was a 30% increase in applications.

OFFICIAL Waitlisted for Data Science MS

Email to check on portal

TTPB: I'm exactly in the same case. My application is also reactivated from the last year's one and it's in the old site. I never get any notification or responses from them even if I contacted them so ask about it. I don't know what happens now. Btw, have you updated any of your application?

Received the admission update soon after emailing the university for the application status. Applied for MEng program.

All my recommenders received an email to sumit a copy of LoR and their name card a week before I was admitted ! Got 3.3 GPA from top ranked university in asia, apply on the final deadline

TTPB: Congratulations on your offer. Don't take the offense to the following statements - just trying to save you time in the future. I attended a peer school to CBS, and it's highly unlikely you will get an offer from either CBS or HBS. Your GPA is well into the bottom 10%, your GRE is likely below the lowest in the class (and GREs were largely used as a backdoor for admissions until recently), and it sounds like you have no work experience. I would recommend getting 3 to 7 years under your belt before applying and showing a strong trajectory. Otherwise, you are just gifting them application fees.

Is there anyone here who was waitlisted by Columbia for Fall'20 admissions and hence was given the opportunity to apply for Spring'21 or Fall'21 with zero application fees? For such students, Columbia reactivated their application on the old portal itself and they're supposed to apply from there itself. Columbia chose not to merge their applications with the new portal. Is there anyone here who belongs to this category of people and has heard back from Columbia either in positive or negative? They're not responding to the query mails sent to them either, an auto-generated response is sent back.

TTPB: to all rejects from Columbia MSCS. Can u tell me when did u apply and when it went under review If anyone is from India. Thanks

Hello, fellow Columbia polisci MA rejects...I mean, applicants. This is the same person that left the comment on May 8th. Today is May 10th and Columbia finally reached back. I have been rejected. Our long arduous journey of waiting has finally come to an unfortunate end. I suppose when a university takes this long to provide a response it only signifies the applicant has been rejected...who knows? Anyway...Columbia was the last university on my list I needed to hear back from. I've accepted an offer of admission from American University in Washington, D.C., therefore, for the next two years of my life, I'll be residing in America's capital instead of America's City (AKA New York City). I have ambitions of one day attending a top business school after completing my first master's degree and now that I have much experience in riding this roller coaster of applying to graduate schools I will use my newfound knowledge to return to Columbia and apply to Columbia Business School. I swear it...I will return and, this time, I will return victoriously (however, if I apply to Harvard Business School and get accepted by them, then I will reject Columbia's offer of admission just like how they rejected me today). To everyone out there that was rejected this year, I know it hurts and you all probably feel like you're not good enough. Please, don't believe that for a second...I am here to say you are all great! Keep your heads held high, never give up, and years from now, show the world why Columbia University made a disastrous mistake today.

At long last, a decision. Unsurprisingly I was rejected. I have been considered for another masters program at Columbia, so I will wait and hear from them (hopefully sooner than this one). 3.7 GPA and strong letters of recommendation. However, little research experience, which may help explain the rejection. Good luck to everyone!

rejected off waitlist after 6 weeks
