Anyone still waiting on a decision?

Yes! I feel like I'll be rejected though.

April 7th is the deadline to confirm attendance for Creative Producers at least. I would imagine some spots will 100% free up after that date.

Has anyone heard about a timeline from admissions?

 

[NicoleNee123]

Still waiting and no updated timeline - last week I was told by admissions that all decisions would be sent out end of this week! I wish they’d just rip off the bandaid bc the suspense is killing me lol

Congrats!! I’m unable to attend this event in person so I emailed them to express my interest and asked if there will be a virtual one too but haven’t heard back yet.

There's a virtual one on a separate day. Just got a bunch of emails today with invitations to multiple events

Haven't heard back at all. Really really strange because I felt like I had a great interview for Writing for Film and TV. Anyway, Columbia isn't my first choice. I was waitlisted at USC's Screenwriting MFA and USC's Peter Stark program, so perhaps I may hear back from them soon! I also have an offer from the University of Cambridge that I plan to accept if nothing else opens up...

 

[Aryansh.y]

Any updates on S&D?

 

[RPA]

Any updates on S&D?

no, not really. Its ironic that I had the best interview with Columbia, but it doesn't look like they are going to send anymore admits. Maybe waitlist and rejects is what I think.

 

[Aryansh.y]

Same! Not losing any hope though, we never know! It’s not over until it’s over!

no, not really. Its ironic that I had the best interview with Columbia, but it doesn't look like they are going to send anymore admits. Maybe waitlist and rejects is what I think.

Anymore updates, anyone? Still no notifications on my end.

Anymore updates, anyone? Still no notifications on my end.

Earlier there was a ‘congratulations on the interview’ tab on my portal but it’s not there anymore. Historically, these small shifts on the portal happen when they’re about to update or have reached a final decision and are just about to upload it. Idk if it’s the same for you guys.
