Specifically US and India, Is anyone else on the CBS Round 2 waitlist still waiting to hear back?

I’m specifically trying to understand whether anyone on the waitlist has received a callback, update, or admit yet — especially applicants from the U.S. or India.

Not looking for speculation, just trying to get a sense of whether there has been any movement so far. Thanks, and good luck to everyone waiting.

I’m trying to buy/gift Telegram Premium with TON through Fragment, and I genuinely cannot get the wallet connection to work.

I’ve already completed Fragment verification. I have TON funds. My goal is simple: connect a TON wallet to Fragment and pay for Telegram Premium with TON.

So far I’ve tried:

• Wallet in Telegram / Telegram TON Wallet
• Tonkeeper mini app inside Telegram
• Tonkeeper Pro on Mac
• Tonkeeper iPhone app
• Safari
• Chrome
• Desktop QR scan
• Mobile browser flow
• Trying from Telegram / trying outside Telegram

Every path fails. Either Fragment fails to connect, rejects the wallet, or the connection just doesn’t complete.

What’s confusing is that Fragment literally offers “Wallet in Telegram” / TON wallet connection options, but the actual flow seems broken or unclear. I understand the difference between Telegram’s custodial Crypto Wallet balance and a non-custodial TON Connect wallet, but even when trying Tonkeeper directly, it still fails.

Has anyone successfully bought Telegram Premium with TON through Fragment recently?

Specific questions:

1. Does Fragment currently have issues with TON Connect?
2. Is there a known problem with Tonkeeper + Fragment?
3. Does Fragment reject some wallets after KYC/verification?
4. Is there a way to reset the Fragment wallet connection state?
5. Is Telegram Wallet / TON Space actually supposed to work for Premium purchases, or should I only use Tonkeeper/MyTonWallet?
6. Are there any official alternatives to Fragment for buying Telegram Premium with TON?

I’m not sharing seed phrases or private keys with anyone. Just trying to figure out whether this is a Fragment issue, Tonkeeper issue, Telegram Wallet issue, or some account/verification state problem.

Any help appreciated because this flow is way more confusing than it should be.

I’m a Columbia August 2026 Round 2 applicant who was waitlisted without an interview, then later received an interview invite from the waitlist.

My interview ended up taking place on April 21, 2026. The interviewer told me that people typically hear back in “roughly 2 weeks,” though he also mentioned knowing someone who waited closer to a month and still got in.

A few things I’m trying to understand:

• Has anyone else here been a pre-interview R2 waitlist -> later interview invite at CBS?
• If so, how long did it take to hear back after the interview?
• Did you get an admit / continued waitlist / rejection?
• Did your portal timing line up more with the interviewer’s estimate, or with the broader May 13 late-cycle decision timing CBS is now showing for Round 3 interviewees?

I know I’m not literally a Round 3 applicant, but I assume my file is now being decided in the same late-cycle class-shaping window.

Would appreciate any datapoints. This process has been pretty opaque.
