[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of movement at Columbia, not much of a surprise given all that has gone on at that school.[/quote]

Where did you hear that?
There is zero posted anywhere on Reddit, College Confidential, College Navigators or Tineoprep and lots of posts on Reddit of kids asking when/if the waitlist will move since there has been no report of movement (anywhere) since May 16th.

I've read on several sites that Columbia College admissions officers stated on the accepted student days that they "overshot their yield this year" because they admitted 10% more upfront and are overenrolled outright.  They are also apparently going to restrict Barnard freshmen from taking Columbia classes this fall because they have too many kids?

The barnard class restriction from certain columbia classes was a policy change planned based on contractual agreements - has nothing to do with yield. I read about it a year ago. Regarding waitlists, yes i heard Columbia accepted more kids (due to yield uncertainty) and still using waitlist. (I'm an alum and follow our class news)[/quote]
