And just got this "
Thank you for your interest in Columbia Engineering. Please be advised, the application review process may take several weeks or longer and this is normal due to the high number of applications received and the selectivity of the program. The application reviews are also strictly confidential. We are not privy to the details regarding the status or any other aspect of your application review.


We appreciate the time and effort you spent in preparing your application and want to assure you that the faculty admissions committee is working very hard to give each application careful attention. We will contact you via email as soon as a decision is entered on your application.

Anybody could tell me, since I'm a Chinese, is this a polite "NO" in the US culture?

I got the same one. It’s not a rejection it’s just saying that since there’s so many applicants it will take longer then usual to give out results.

I'm also Chinese and I believe you've still got a chance as long as you don't receive the rej, though miracles almost never happen. My guess is that they are still waiting for deposits for the previous admits and might still have some room available, but a decision is gonna be finalized soon.

I guess so. You know, just driving me crazy...

 

[Bangor.Z]

Did the admission send you this email? Or they were writing back to you?

This is a writting back. I wrote to them with screenshots of my other offers and got this reply.
