Published

Hi all! I didn't see a page for 2025 start date for Columbia! I just submitted my app! Best of luck to everyone!

Has anybody heard back in regards to getting waitlisted?

I have not heard anything. I emailed a follow up on 12/3, and didn't get a response.

I wish this process would end already. 
 

Last year's thread had users commenting "waitlisted" before Thanksgiving, coming off waitlist acceptances by this time December.

I'm really disappointed by the lack of communication. I've reached out a few times for an update and haven't heard anything back. We've all put in a lot of time and effort, and as qualified professionals (many of us with other offers!) it's frustrating to not even get a response. It's left a bad taste in my mouth.

Agreed. It's super unprofessional. Maybe no one declined a spot so there is no waitlist but even so, let us know. I won't be applying next year (if I don't get into one of my other schools). I interviewed at a few and Columbia was the most disorganized.

I feel the same way. It's a shame because Columbia is the most convenient for me but when you factor in their cost of attendance and how unprofessional they have been, I am thinking that I am not keen on re-applying. We spent a lot of money, time, and mental energy on this process only to be met with total silence. I am excited to learn more about Hunter-Bellevue as an option.

I just found out I didn't get in. I will say it was one of the worst interview processes I've ever been a part of. When I first walked into the interview, I was welcomed and thanked for being there, so I proceeded to shake the hands of the interview panel. They looked at me very confused as to why I would be shaking their hands and proceeded to say that they would not be shaking hands during the interview but that I was welcome to do air handshakes. I figured it was probably a safety thing. Then, as I was answering questions, one of the interviewers was falling asleep. It wasn't very discreet—they were even bobbing their head back and forth. I had just flown in for the interview and had to leave that same day. I just found it very disrespectful, as we all put in hard work and our soul into getting into school, and this is how they treat someone interviewing. It's very sad and disappointing because the feedback from current students was great, but unfortunately, the interview unfolded the way it did. Congrats on those that got in and for those that didn't get in keep up the work!! It will pay off!!

Agreed that it was a very odd interview and very disorganized. That's funny since  I was kicking myself for not shaking their hands.

Hey I have a question about the timed writing. Will the camera be on during timed writing? Will the questions be difficult? Thanks so much.
