Tuition Refund Policy

Columbia will refund 100% of tuition and fees for a course that is dropped within the add/drop period for that course. The add/drop period for a course is dependent on the start and end date for that course. After the add/drop period for a course, the student is responsible for 100% of tuition and fees associated with the course. 

Students who never begin attendance in any course for the term and who fail to properly drop their courses during the add/drop period may have their schedules canceled by the Office of the Registrar. At Columbia’s discretion, a $75 per credit hour fee may be assessed to cover the administrative costs associated with the student’s failure to properly drop their course schedule.

Columbia Announces Class of 2028 Admissions Decisions

After months of outreach and deliberation, Columbia Undergraduate Admissions is delighted to share that 2,319 students have been offered admission to the Class of 2028 by Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.

These students were selected from the third largest applicant pool in Columbia’s history. In total, 60,248 students submitted their applications through Columbia’s Early Decision and Regular Decision cycles.

The admitted class—notified of their decision via secure online access tonight at 7 p.m.—includes students from all 50 states (as well as the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Mariana Islands and the US Virgin Islands) and 108 countries. Despite widespread delays with FAFSA processing, the financial aid office was able to provide students with their estimated financial aid eligibility at the time of their admission, and approximately half of admitted students have been offered need-based financial aid thus far. Columbia continues to meet 100 percent of demonstrated need for all admitted students, without loans and regardless of citizenship.

“The students we admitted today are so much more than their impressive credentials. Through their essays and extracurriculars, research projects and maker portfolios, they have revealed remarkable depth, dedication and inspiration,” said Jessica Marinaccio, dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid. “These students are interdisciplinary change-makers, caring community members and individuals who lead with genuine kindness. We know that our entire community at Columbia will have great cause to celebrate when the Class of 2028 joins us in Morningside Heights this fall!”

A full schedule of in-person and virtual programming, including alumni-hosted receptions in locations around the world, will allow admitted students and their families to get to know Columbia and their future classmates.

“My colleagues and I have treasured the time we’ve spent learning about individuals through their applications. And in the weeks ahead, we are excited to support each admitted student as they endeavor to make the best possible choice for themselves,” Marinaccio said. “Exploring, selecting and applying to colleges is a weighty process for students and families to navigate. We commend the future members of Columbia’s incoming class, and we also applaud everyone who has taken steps toward their goal of furthering their education.”

Columbia waitlist class of 2028 thread

here’s a chat for waitlisted students for Columbia’s class of 2028. Let’s support each other through the process.

you can share your stats and anything you’ll find about the waitlist from past years here

Waitlist 4.1 uw. 4.4 weighted Didn’t report sat Lots of EC. Strong essays. Experience includes taking care of his mother in hospice at end of her life after 3 year battle with cancer. CS includes 3 summers working with former gang members for Father Boyle at Homeboy Industries in LA. Columbia was his only Ivy. He has offers from Georgetown, Cal, USC and Boston College. Barring getting off Columbia WL, he’ll be ecstatic to attend Georgetown. But he will take a shot at getting off waitlist.

I think many of the waitlisted students chose not to submit SAT scores. Not necessarily regretting the decision, just making an observation after reading a ton of comments from various threads. Hearing 20% chance of being accepted, but that seems high. Staying on the list.

D24 From Midwest Did report Sat 1540

Rejected brown ED but Columbia was second choice

Has a full ride elsewhere but loves Columbia

Where was that stat? Seems so high

waitlisted here too! I hope I can get off the waitlist😭

We need to convince all those that got into another ivy and Columbia to pick the other one for us!

What’s the AR after WL?

nobody has a precise value because Columbia doesn’t share their stats about the waitlist. you can check at the common data set, it’s just blank.

Wait?? I went over past CC thread for the CU waitlist to find out that they didn’t accept anyone from the waitlist for the past 2 years

depressing tbh

And out of date. Columbia typically didn’t publish in CDS data until the scandal with their math professor poking holes in their USNWR data put a spotlight on their lack of transparency. Then they briefly published a modified CDS for 2 years that striped their General Studies admission stats out separately. Then once they decided to stop participating in the USNWR rankings last year they quietly stopped doing the CDS again. Which is why they never put out one that covered last year’s admission cycle.

They let in some last year but who knows how many. Did you all claim your spot? Or waiting to claim at the time you submit LOCI?
