Based on responses here, I've noticed notifications in as little as 6 business days (which means that Tuesday might be my day!). That does seem really quick. I wonder what the "new stuff" actually is.

So my interviewer (who was surprisingly knowledgeable about all of this stuff) said that Columbia had a long term dean of admissions who was much beloved, but then she retired, and then they brought in a guy who didn't work out, and so the new dean is someone who had worked underneath the old one that everyone liked. Basically now they are trying to streamline their application process, especially in the face of a double digit increase in applications from last year.
Part of it might just be not having enough admissions counselors to process everything, given the increase in applications, and so needing to figure out how to be most efficient with their manpower.
Also - good luck! I hope that you hear good news, and sooner rather than later!

I'm a current student that works on the planning for Connect, Connect II will happen from April 11th-13th, with official programming on the 11th and the 12th, and student-led programming on the 13th. We usually do a variety of activities but if you sign up you will receive a full agenda as soon as its finalized. The event in general is meant for you to get a feel for the school and to get to meet your potential future class mates. There are alumni, current student panels, networking activities for you to get to know other current students, special speakers, and information sessions on housing, recruiting, financial aid, and everything else you can probably think of.
