Same thing for me. Is that different from before, though, or is it just the standard confirmation screen once they have received your authorization form?

Think it's different:) I received a separate email stating that they received the authorization last week. ONe thing that did change is that I got a statement/bill (for $0) from Columbia. hahha...assuming that's a good sign?:)

I can't recall exactly what it said before on the Kroll confirmation screen, but i think it's the same as before. The bill is just university generated, and everyone gets that once you've signed up for an university account. you would continue to receive $0 bills for the rest of your life from Columbia :)

any Kroll progress for you guys?


I faxed in the form, got confirmation that they received it, started the process and charged my CC.

My recommender mentioned he got a call from them -- they asked who are you, what is your title, do you know the candidate and how long have you known him for? HR did not mention getting a call thus far.

I'm unsure if they asked him his title. However, as long as everything was truthful at the time of application, you should be fine.

Quick question: For $ awards, do you not find out until after you've submitted your deposit? Should I just assume I'm not getting anything when I make the decision?

I ask bc I got a substantial amount from another school. I would rather go to Columbia but can't justify the NYC cost of living and $0 in aid. Anyone else in the same boat? It's kind of a frustrating situation...

Hey there. Yeah I think for Columbia they don't start releasing fellowship decision till early March and up to May! for financial aid (including grants) you have to submit tax returns for 2009 in March and I think they tell you in May-ish. sort of a bummer!

I have not heard anything as far as the process being complete or close to it.

I got contacted a week back to verify some salary information - I sent in pay stubs and got confirmation that they contained the information they needed, but nothing since then.

imchuckbass,

Did Columbia ask for that info or Kroll? this may indicate whether kroll has finished their parts and handed it over to adcom yet.

Great. 3 weeks and still no updates. I'm sure the snow storm isn't going to help much either.

What does it say when you log into krolls website? For me it says, please wait to be contacted by your school, or something like that. Have had that status for 2 weeks.

My lease is through August, so I figure I will move in the middle of Aug sometime. I'm heading to the Feb Columbia Connect event and will prob tour around the Upper West Side as well as ask around regarding the fun neighborhoods to live in. Not sure I will be back in April because of a conflicting concert (my priorities are a wreck). Most likely I will target a neighborhood and hit up craiglist for people. Not the best route but my friends all live in other areas too far from campus. Either way I am just stoked to get started and to move to NYC!

Anyone check out the estimated budget yet? Obviously I knew this would be expensive, but it's all hitting me now. That $6k deposit for ED doesn't put much of a dent in things...
