@GreenGoddess222: so sorry didnt see this, its an updated letter and it starts off saying like we've decided to postpone ur final decision bc we are unsure of our numbers or something confirm ur spot on the reserve blah blah
Just got my waitlist R! I had already accepted this would be the outcome, best of luck to everyone else!
This was on 07/23/24 btw
Anyone else get the special waitlist (or worded like that) but hasn’t heard back anything yet since being WL?
i didnt get an email but they completed my application -- will they send a confirmation soon?
Someone on reddit says they got in today... (10/23/24) is that legit? Does Columbia start sending out As this early?
