Columbia 2013 Applicants

[wannabe13]

to those who got aid (i.e. the confirmation of aid letters,) does your award show up in the portal site?

 

[whlhyland]

Congrats to those that got in! Did everyone that got accepted apply for financial aid?

 

[nellie]

got accepted too!!! directing focus! i'm definitely accepting the offer and hoping that nothing goes wrong because i haven't graduated yet! i'm an international applicant. congrats to everyone who got accepted and good luck to everyone else, i'm sure more acceptances are coming tomorrow

 

[rtessler]

Though I highly doubt it, will someone please respond if they got in and never had an interview?

 

[Ceci]

do you guys think that all the offers have gone out today or there are gonna be more tomorrow??

 

[Jerrick]

To those that have been accepted, are your names closer to the beginning of the alphabet?

 

[nellie]

@jerrick my last name ends with L, right smack in the middle of the alphabet! don't fret, i'm sure not all offers have gone out! also, even those waitlisted have a good chance of getting in - already someone in the forum is gonna reject her/her offer so thats one place up for grabs!

good luck to everyone!

 

[Ceci]

ok thanks and congrats!

 

[ghostaliens]

To everyone who just found out they were accepted! Congrats! Did anyone get a substantial financial aid offer/SOA institutional aid?

 

[brehco]

ok i'm going to rally some support for those of us now biting our nails nervously. the 2012 thread did not have a lot of posts, BUT in 2011 - it took almost a week for them to make all the screenwriting/directing calls / e-mails. and it seemed like directors were contacted first and then screenwriters toward the end of the week... so anyway - it's just the beginning! let's hope for lots more.

 

[Ceci]

thanks brehco for the update! let's keep our fingers crossed.

OK, I think I MAY have figured out my decision before actually receiving it by looking at my "receipt" on the online application portal after "View Application."

Under "Decision Round" it says "WL" - for wait listed? Can anyone who was accepted confirm that it says something else? Please?

Thanks and congrats to all those accepted!

Just curious

I'm not an international applicant, I live in NYC. Didn't get a call neither, just an email.

I just checked and I'm in the same boat. Interviewed, didn't get an e-mail today, receipt says "Decision Round: WL". Interesting.

I interviewed and didn't get an e-mail today either. I also just checked a version of the "receipt" I saved right after submitting my application and there is no "Decision Round" section...

I also have the WL thing. I wonder if it has always been there or what. I had never checked the receipt before.

 

[sudarshansuresh]

Congratulations everyone who got accepted!

My receipt says the same thing - "WL". It'll be immensely helpful if someone who is accepted could check theirs and tell us what it says.

I hope the 'WL' is a temporary status, till they actually send out their decision email.

 

[DunDun]

Oof. Mine reads: "RJ." Interview went horribly. Crushed!

 

[bob loblaw]

Sorry to hear that... I got an 'RJ' from UCLA a few days ago. Feels bad man. Even getting to the interview stage means you're in the ballpark though. At least that's what I'm telling myself. There's always next year.

I know Columbia admits about 24 per concentration, but does anybody know how many applicants they typically wait-list?
