And you’re positive that this is for Columbia University, like the one in NYC and not the one in Missouri, right?

All of sdn is gonna freak out over this. I'm already drafting an email to Columbia asking if the pre-II Rs are real

Aww wait shoot. I'm sorry I hope another school sends good news your way.

 

[purdey]

Sorry friend (and sorry we all got neurotic about this lol).
To the other mere mortals, I’ll see you in the next R wave🫡

 

[jellybean121]

are there any current students here that can offer insight into where they are? I am kinda shocked that they haven't sent any interviews in Jan?

 

[keksD]

If I sent a letter of intent at the end of october, would it be wise to send updates now and remind them that I still intend to commit? Or should I wait 2 weeks for a pub and send it. I am worried that the committee will be making the decisions soon.

Wait for the pub for sure! They don't release decisions until late Feb/early Mar, so I doubt they're making final decisions in the next 2 weeks.

 

[John Summit]

Will there be a final II wave? Is it hopeless to submit a pre-ii LOI

I have heard that next week may be the last interviews from a current student

So no more IIs or they are conducting interviews next week?

sorry I meant to say that the last week of interviews is next week but I don't know what that means about IIs. maybe they have very few left but not sure

 

[OreoLover365]

Does anyone know when decisions will come out? (especially if they mentioned in a recent interview day!)

 

[kermitiv]

current student here, last 2 days of interviews are 1/23 and 1/24, so invites are done as well.

Thank you for confirming it.

GG everyone.

Just blocked the admissions email for closure.

 

[jdogs2]

Did everyone who interviewed here get the "although it is too soon to know definitely how things will go this year, I can assure you that the Admissions Committee will keep you strongly in mind" email like a week after their interview?

Yes, everyone lol. Don’t let it get your hopes up.

 

[sugar_n_splice]

Does anyone have a sense of when we should get LOI/ update letters in so they can be considered before decisions are made?

 

[1surgeon]

does any one know if Columbia done sending IIs?

 

[kermitiv]

the consensus online for schools is one month post interview, as for columbia specifically i have no idea

 

[jellybean121]

last interview is tom according to current student who posted earlier on this thread! sorry im right with you

 

[jdogs2]

Yes, everyone lol. Don’t let it get your hopes up.

Yeah I figured I just wanted to check in case I was special

 

[Dreadedpremed]

Just curious but for those who received an II from Columbia, how many IIs have you received from other T10s?

 

[dihedralsymmetry]

Like 3 other than Columbia which I'm very grateful for but I would trade them all for a single A at this point lmao. Hit my DMs if you're willing to trade 💀💀

Like 5 others but it’s been silence or rejection since interviews for those

[texasvandy]

Columbia releases this month?

 

[dihedralsymmetry]

Columbia releases this month?

It's been 3/1 or 3/2 at 11 AM EST for the past 3 years, but also usually on Tues/Wed, so could be 2/27-28 or 3/4-5 this year as well

[toastedbutter]

Does anyone know if Bassett decisions come out at the same time

Just checked some of the past threads and it looks like they do

How do you find the time for the decision release? I think the MD-PhD for Columbia releases tomorrow 2/14 but don't know what time exactly.

you can hover over and see times in previous threads or you can inspect element if needed

ditto^ but also a past thread said they always start around 11 AM est and I believe also stagger the release (so not all at once)

 

[survivinglife]

Ohhh I see! Thank you both @keksD @dihedralsymmetry it'll be a fun valentine's day
