any updates recently? I sent the GMAT official score a couple of weeks ago, but it's still awaiting, does that mean they have not started to review my application?

I have no idea about that. But for the sake of our mental health I think we should look at it as if we were going to receive the decision on April. That way if it comes sooner it will be perceived as a pleasant surprise. BTW, I think that if by next week your score is still in awaiting you should contact them about it.

The Columbia MAFN has an average of 67 days for application-decision process. This is according to our Tracker.
You should always use this as a benchmark to see whether you are beyond the normal process.
If you are a few weeks ahead of the avg number, don't worry too much.

Actually I submitted the application last Nov. But I sent the score early this month, so I have no idea that someone got admitted by saying his TOFEL is also "awaiting"

I submitted the application on Dec and sent the score before the submission.
But, my status is still awaiting. I sent an email asking about this last week and still wait for the answer.

So you and I are in the same situation now, I don't want to wait so long...

Hi Guys, how did you see your TOEFL/GRE status? I logged in to https://apply.gsas.columbia.edu/apply/ and it was showed as "Submitted", I clicked into it and I didnt see the session for TOEFL and GRE..Am I missing anything? Anyone got the same situation?

Looks like Columbia is going to welcome new students with a 25% jump in tuition for 2013-2014.

How so?

No matter how it increases, it would never be higher than MIT and CMU...

 

[diegosanaz]

sad about the increase, but I will worry first about getting admitted. Anyone got any news on that?

I don't care about the tuition as well, I am also waiting for a decision

you should click on "2013 fall" and open the application.

About the status, I received answer from GSAS. They have received my score reports but the program has not run yet so my status is still not updated.(i am not sure what program they are talking about)
They said my application will be reviewed using the scores I entered on the application.

Did they tell you when they were going to review your application??
