also i'm curious, is there still anyone who hasn't been accepted, waitlisted or rejected? or did they place everyone who was neither accepted nor rejected on a waitlist?

Does anyone know if Columbia will send acceptance letters in the mail?

I did not. You?

 

[Teethteethteeth]

Scratch that. Just did.

 

[Gred23]

Has anyone else received a waitlist confirmation reply?

 

[kiwisssss]

So pretty much everyone who were interviewed but not accepted are invited to be waitlisted right?

 

[3301tee]

Are all post-December dates done?

 

[toothunicorn]

Are all post-December dates done?

Also really curious about this question!

 

[ywcywc]

Maybe not but not much left.

 

[docsicem]

Has anyone who paid the deposit heard back from them?

Mine was delivered last week and haven't heard anything still

Same. Hopefully we will start to hear something after New Years

 

[dentbond72]

For now, we can only hope that our deposit money is in the right hands haha

 

[Teethteethteeth]

Received another wait list confirmation email yesterday.

 

[enameladvocate]

For those that interviewed, when did email you with a schedule? I have my interview on Friday and still haven't heard from them...
Also, how was the interview experience overall?

 

[Gred23]

Yes the interview was straightforward, they just want to get to know you. So relax, be yourself, and gain the most out of the interview day!

 

[docsicem]

Has anyone who paid the deposit had their checks cashed?

 

[apeach58]

I haven't and I sent it in the 29th

 

[docsicem]

I haven't and I sent it in the 29th

My status finally changed to offer accepted yesterday so I think that’s a good sign

 

[pripat]

how soon after your interview do you receive your acceptance/rejection? my interview is on jan 22

 

[samantha199669]

Is Columbia done sending out invites?!

 

[cryingintheclub]

Does anyone know if Columbia provides any need/merit-based scholarships to accepted students?

 

[t00thfaiiry]

has anyone gotten in off the waitlist yet? does anyone know when the waitlist people will start hearing back?

 

[theclimb]

Hi guys! Can someone please tell me how much Columbia is asking for the deposit? I can't seem to find anything online.

[samantha199669]

Has Columbia sent out rejections yet?!

 

[atps]

Does anyone know of a CDM '25 facebook group?

 

[dentbond72]

Its funny how Columbia admissions love to be radio silent for an extended period to everyone, including those who are admitted haha

 

[kna2125]

Does anyone know of a CDM '25 facebook group?

i've talked with some current students and they said their FB group wasn't made until late february and that seems to be a trend with all the classes

 

[Totoro!]

For post-Dec interviews, how long does it take for CDM to notify you if you're accepted or not?

Wondering the same

From my interview they said we could find out either this month or next month. If we hear back in January we have a month to submit a deposit but if we hear back in February we only have two weeks. So it depends but hopefully soon, I'm stressed.

interviewed in early september and still waiting lol

 

[Totoro!]

It seems like the last ones were sent out in the beginning of Dec. According to their website, they interview until Feb. The latest interview date I've seen on this thread is 02/19; however, there could be ones later than that from people who don't post on here?

 

[toothunicorn]

Does anyone have an interview after February 19th?
