Happyface, I'm in the exact same situation as you. This is definitely a brutal process, but keep up the faith because as much as we are all speculating, much of this is random and there are a lot more invites coming out for both schools. The vast majority of applicants are in RD and that multiple people (including a 3rd or 4th reader) can decide to invite you in to interview at any time. At least that means there are LOTS of spots still open.


Thanks so much, tlbkcal. I really really hope so. Good luck to us!!!

Hi Guys

I have been lurking around this forum for a while now.

Thought I would add my information to the forum and just sympathise with everyone who is awaiting a decision.

My timeline so far

Submitted 10/02
Under review 10/04
Invited for interview 10/05
Interviewed 10/16
Interview Complete 10/18
Awaiting decision

Let's hope for some calls soon.

is anyone else on this forum from South Africa?

Had my interview 8 days ago and my app still hasn't gone complete yet.

Should I follow up with the ad com or give it a few more days?

With rolling admissions, I feel like everyday counts!

Had a similar concern in the week after my interview!

The advice I got was to follow up with my interviewer first. Maybe wait until next week too

This was asked to adcom under the Ask CBS adcom thread. They had said that they will contact the interviewer and that you don't have to do anything.

Did we ever figure out when adcoms call? I know someone joked about making a regression...

Anyone know how late they're on the phones in EST?

"On Columbia's site, it suggests waiting at least 3 or 4 weeks before contacting the admissions department. I am curious to know what type of information they would provide if I contracted them. "

where does it say that on their website?



"Because the processing of applications can take three to four weeks, please wait at least three weeks after submitting your application before contacting the Admissions Office with questions or concerns about your application status. "

I made the joke about making regressions while i secretly built models behind the scenes, though no regression models..yet.

From the data this year, it seems like admissions loves Tuesdays and Wednesdays, though a couple calls went out Monday and Friday.

Not sure about times, but assuming people posted right after getting the call, it seems like late morning (~10am) and early afternoon (~2-4pm).

With how much time I've spent analyzing this, I really need to get accepted for fear of losing my job from not doing any actual work the past couple of weeks:lol:

That means can't concentrate on work any day, any time of week. Think I spent more time here than on Facebook these days
