Calling all Columbia (J-Term) Applicants: (2017 Intake) Class of 2018!

Congratulations espallargas...good job!

Hello J-term applicants, did anyone get a notification by email or an update in the portal once the interview feedback was provided ?

Hi Rahul! They are not updating the status. I politely asked my interviewer to let me know once he submitted his report.

Posted from my mobile device

Good luck to those who are still waiting!

Looks like Oct 11th was a busy day for the ad-com. I got my admit yesterday as well. Applied mid august, interview invite mid sept and interview report submitted on 27th sept. Took them the whole 2 week period after my interview to get back to me and in retrospect it looks pretty quick but believe me, it was a painful 2 week wait.

Congrats to everyone who got the call. Should we form a separate thread or maybe a facebook group or something?

For the guys still waiting - i feel your pain. Hang in there and all the best!

Congrats Columbiastudent and 220grad! We already have a hidden facebook group of all admitted students.

Yes, Arsenal has it here. I'm the admin for the admitted student group, so looking forward to meeting you soon!

How many members so far ? Just wondering the number of admits till now, considering J-term will have around 200 students.
