But they seem delayed on the timeline of decisions compared to previous years, right?

yeah looks like it, another reason to believe more offers will come

Not yet. Maybe 5PM or next Friday I guess

 

[SeanXJ]

I assume there is no news today?

I thought it usually comes out at 8

 

[Dwight_K_Schrute]

Sigh, perhaps wait till next Friday

Did anyone hear back from Columbia??Or tried to contact them for more information on when they plan to roll out more offers?

I think if they don't send out any offers tomorrow, then we can make the deposit for other schools as there is a very litter chance to receive the offer after this week, based on the previous year's records.

What makes you say that? Do they not give out offers in April?

You can check the previous year's thread in the forum, I hope I can paste the link but I cannot find it. People didn't receive offers in April except for the option to transfer from MFE to Operation Research. If you also want to go to OR, you can wait and see. Also, they wouldn't send out rejections until the very end (May or June).

Of course the situation changes from year to year, and I also want people can receive the offer. But if they don't send out offers this week, I will pay the deposit for another school as the deadline is April 15.

Yes you are right I was just looking at the 2021 thread. Well hopefully we get some news this week! Not very nice of them to keep us waiting like that with no info. They should at least tell us early on whether we’re rejected or waitlisted

 

[pqian]

Any news today?

 

[xwwxwwx]

nope, let us wait a bit longer.

 

[timliu]

I don't understand why they give no info at all. If all seats were out, they should at least send waitlist or rejections. I feel it's very disrespectful to applicants.

 

[pqian]

17:30 now. Anyone any info?

The main issue is that they only gives a week to turn in deposit. Those who get this offer before better offers like NYU fm and CMU, Berkeley, MIT etc are likely have to turn in the deposit but may not necessarily come. So Columbia would have to figure out how many are actually coming before sending out more offers and rejections

Although they could send a bunch of rejections for the people that wouldn’t get in no matter what, instead of just not telling anyone anything

and that I agree... perhaps this year the applicants are just too strong lol. I mean you have to be confident enough to apply to those programs, knowing they are extremely competitive.
