I submitted 6 January and am also waiting to hear.

I would have expected a large volume of applications just before the merit fellowship deadline, but I also see that some people have already heard (one way or the other!) who had submitted at the same time as me.

I'm trying to stay relaxed about it. Hoping that the positive mood over the new year would work in my favour!

FYI for timeline purposes. Just received an interview invite - applied a week or so before Christmas. Probably going to take my name out of the hat.

denied, no interview.

I didn't get an email, I had to log in to their system here: https://apply.gsb.columbia.edu/account/ ... y%2fstatus

to get the bad news.

That's too bad.

When did you submit? Did you have to click on anything in particular to view the decision? Or was it pretty obvious on that page?

Hi guys. I submitted my app on 6 January, i.e. just in time for the Merit Fellowship deadline.

Looking back through the thread, it seems like a number of people saw their status updated from logging into the website rather than receiving an email (and maybe those who got an email first might have had their status updated earlier if they looked?). So, now I am logging into the site at least 2-3 times a day!

Can anyone who got dinged tell me if the status update is in the first page (right after you log in) or do you have to click through to the full application? If the latter, is it obvious where the ding letter is (somebody else posted that they missed it the first time)?

Slightly neurotic questions but you know how it is by this stage. Starting to get nervous... :)

Folks - who're getting worried whether the status update news will come over email or will be available on the account's home page, cool down as it'll happen in the both places unless you receive the notification email in your spam.

Quoting Columbia's Associate Director "We update applicants about their status via e-mail and on their status page. They should receive an e-mail, but we have heard some e-mails going to junk/spam folders. This is rare and usually happens with work e-mails."

Hope this helps.

@dcr - I hope it pacifies you somewhat :)

When do merit fellowships usually come out? I am not expecting one but am wondering whether they come out at the decision or after. I was accepted in December and have not heard anything about it, so I guess at this point it's over? I received a fairly large fellowship at another school so $ is a pretty big factor.

If last year was an indication it should be within the next few weeks. I'm not sure if it was intentional (although I think it was) but last year a number of people heard right before the Columbia Connect event in February. It was nice to get some good news before coming to visit campus that weekend which is why I think it was designed that way.
