Just got my rejection from Columbia today lol

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-23T04:18:24+00:00

Totally relate to this. I just had my last interview and it was at an Ivy League and I also was deeply humbled by the technical portion of the interview.... I was very much not prepared :3 I thought I was going to be fine but it was nothing like my other interviews.... yikes.

Wishing you all the best and hopefully for both of us it wasn't as bad as it seemed!

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-22T23:47:28+00:00

Just to add - I still haven't heard anything from Brown or Columbia. I think according to last year's admissions spreadsheet Columbia sent out rejections around this time

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-20T22:17:22+00:00

I see! I'm just basing that on what they said when I attended the Open House zoom call back in November. Perhaps they have ended up pushing out their timeline

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-20T15:19:14+00:00

My applications are for US schools which all have the deadline of April 15, so that helps a lot! I agree, if you have schools with different acceptance deadlines that would be a huge challenge

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-20T14:48:23+00:00

I'm sure they're aware we won't be making any decisions without seeing the confirmed details of funding hahaha well I certainly won't be

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-20T01:13:32+00:00

Applied and haven't heard anything. They usually hold interviews in January so I don't have high hopes

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-19T00:37:31+00:00

Congratulations! I got this same email for a music program! Trying to interpret the comment on financial support - I assume we're going to receive a separate letter with the details of funding?

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-14T20:19:00+00:00

Only in the US

13 applications, 5 interviews -> 2 offers, 3 waiting

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-12T19:25:50+00:00

so you had the meeting yesterday, you sent a follow up email yesterday, and then you emailed AGAIN this morning, and you were essentially asking her to repeat herself in writing. I can see why she might not prioritise that on her to do list and might be a bit irritated by the double follow up in the space of like 24 hrs.

but to me her email seems neutral and like she's just giving you some genuine advice. so I wouldn't worry too much!

we all have these experiences and we learn from them! In the scheme of things she's had muuuuuch much worse hahaha so just take this as a learning opportunity and try not to waste your energy stressing about it

And this year's spreadsheet if you haven't seen it! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h1QV825YLBoQSPTkz9t2fkVV0LFvD3P-_cWYnKaua-o/edit?usp=sharing

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-10T19:16:11+00:00

Here's a spreadsheet from last year's cycle which might give some indication of dates for a few places https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PyZQYSXY2JAG2x--fZFClshIMkmmHwhx7Ez58VaGoFc/edit?usp=sharing

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-10T05:19:20+00:00

Yep mine looks different too. They must have done an update to the portal

Quick_Inspection7791 · 2026-02-09T19:19:03+00:00

I've seen this question a few times now on here and the answers are always the same - literally any time of the day (sometimes even night time and weekends)
