BTW, I don’t think accepted students day is film MFA specific. I think that is a Columbia College thing.

I got the call yesterday but have yet to receive an email, or anything about accepted students day... Maybe I will give them a ring.BTW, I don’t think accepted students day is film MFA specific. I think that is a Columbia College thing.
Does it reflect on your application page?I got the call yesterday but have yet to receive an email, or anything about accepted students day... Maybe I will give them a ring.
Soooooo... I gave them a ring. Apparently the accepted students thing this Saturday is for the film school only, and the emails with acceptance letters and info on the accepted students day etc will be sent out today, by the end of the day ?I got the call yesterday but have yet to receive an email, or anything about accepted students day...

Hi Patrick, do you think they've made all the calls or it needs more days?Congrats to everyone who received your call. I got a call from Eric and I was out in the country so he left me a voicemail. I remember him telling me my voicemail sounded like I was a character in a Christopher Guest film. I still don't know what that means.
After you've bragged on the internets and called you Nana, your elementary school teacher (to rub it in their face) and your childhood best friend who think they're better than you cause they have a bean-shaped swimming pool and an office chair with lumbar support (lets see if anyone gets that), you'll need to sit down and make a list of to-do's.
Here are a couple of things you should put on that list:
I am going to check in more often for the next month or so to help anyone with questions.
- Make sure you've filed your taxes for 2019. You'll need them for:
- Your FAFSA. Fill it out ASAP and select Columbia University in the City of New York.
- Once you recieve your acceptance packet in the mail you will get your CUID #. You should immediately register for the CU housing lottery through the CU Housing Portal. If you think you are going to need near-campus housing. Do it even if you arent sure. Get in que.
- If you are a US independent student, without a bankruptcy, you will be able to take out US GOV Grad Plus Loans to cover your tuition, housing, food, travel, supplies and to fund some of your CU film projects. Basically, you will be able to be a fulltime filmmaker for the duration of your time at CU, if you want.
Again, congratulations and welcome to the CU community.
I just called and whoever I spoke to said they’ll still be making calls all day today and tomorrow, as well as try to get out as many waitlist notifications as possible. She also said they’ll let people know in rejections if they should reapply or not.Is it safe to assume they've made all the calls there were to be made?
Ouch. Makes sense... but also definitely not something anyone would want to hear ☹She also said they’ll let people know in rejections if they should reapply or not.
does your application status read 'Submitted' or has it changed?
Yup.Still says submitted.
Yes same! I wonder when they'll send it. Looking forward to meeting you too!So has anyone gotten the official acceptance letter email yet?? I received an email about the accepted students event tomorrow but still not my official letter..
Looking forward to meeting some of you tomorrow!!
Since the accepted students have received emails about the event tomorrow, do you think it's possible they could still be making calls today?
