Its just disrespectful from a university such as Columbia to keep their applicants waiting.

Hi!

I just checked the application portal and I received an update in the upper section of the page," In the coming week, you will receive a Lionmail UNI and a PID number. We apologize for the delay." What does this mean? Has anybody received any such update?

 

[hridaypurohit]

Yes i just saw that too

Can anyone who got a reject, please clarify if you all got it aswell?

Has everyone waiting for decision received this? And what is this Lionmail UNI and PID??

So apparently alumni say they have it. But I am unsure if ONLY alumni get it? or does everyone, even before they get rejected.

 

[MFIN]

As far as I know, no one received a rejection yet. Some received the MFE admit and some got waitlisted/redirected to MSOR.

I just found this. Any inferences from this on PID and LionMail UNI?

 

[preetiyadav]

Has anyone sent an email to the admissions team about this?

LionMail is Columbia’s email, UNI is a string including your initials and some numbers, and PID I believe functions like your student ID. I don’t think they generate these for rejects so I would say the notification is a good sign. I’m starting in the MSFE (Econ) at Columbia in the fall and I have each of the 3 as well.
