<p>Wow, good luck to all Columbia EDers, I unfortunately have to wait another week, but I hope all goes well for you all. So, I am anxious, so I can see the decision thread and your stats, it shall give me a barometer to judge my chances for next week. Good Luck...</p>
<p>Are the final few days more nerve-racking or soothing, because you know it's close; my guess is the former.</p>
<p>GrkPrincetonian - Why do you have to wait a week?</p>
<p>princeton?... and besides you're not even in the worst case scenario... yale is 10 days and penn is 9</p>
<p>how long is Princeton, I think Dec. 12-14</p>
<p>yea... penn's the 14th and yale's the 15th</p>
<p>is it earlier for pton? does anyone know?</p>
<p>does anyone have any exact info? Princeton could be sent out the 14th so it could very well be longer...</p>
<p>Pton will be the last...no email notification</p>
<p>I am so nervous/excited to hear. I want to know now, since I have so many other applications to finish. I should be doing them, but its almost as though I am superstitous. Im hoping that maybe if i dont fill out any applications, they have to accept me. Ha ha. I wish it was that easy. Seriously though, I am absolutely going crazy.
Our school might have a snow day tomorrow and you know I'm just going to spend all day dreaming about getting in. The thing is, I know it wont be the end of the world for me. However, being in early to my dream school would be amazing.
Do you guys think we will be able recieve the emails on Thursday right at 5 pm? Im dying to get in, but then again, so are most people who applied early.
Once everything is mailed out, we should start an accepted/rejected post.
By the way, has anyone applied early and realized s/he doesn't really want to get in, because I would happily take your place. Kidding.
Anyway, good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>Hey wishfulthinking, where is your school? I might have a snowday tomorrow too... </p>
<p>I know this is really crazy, half the schools across the nation might have a snowday tomorrow, haha.</p>
<p>hehe, I cant think about much else other than the decision on thursday right now. this is really annoying because I know I should be doing other things, like other apps or my project thats due thursday. it'll be awsome to get in my dream school early.</p>
<p>I feel like my artsy-self and my math/scienc-y- self is completely divided. one part of me is going over my application over and over again try to find reasons why they'd accept/reject me and with emotions mixed inside all the logical deductions.. this is not working too well. other part of my is trying to predict my reaction on thursday. the actress part of me is replaying each scenario (acceptance/rejection/deferral) over and over again and the conclusion I've reached is that I cant predict my reactions AT ALL. (emotion recall does NOT work at this point. first I'm way to emotionally involved, and second there isnt much things to "recall" from)</p>
<p>ahhhh the frustration of it all.</p>
<p>the worst part is there are still 3 days left! </p>
<p>(ps .. I'm a total nervous wreck right now too)</p>
<p>I attend a school in Delaware.
By the way, do you think Columbia pays attention to the number of applicants from a specific state? DE couldn't possibly have that many people, our entire population is only about 400,00 people and 600,000 chickens.
I'm pretty sure I wrote a good essay, have great SAT scores, low SAT IIs, decent interview, and decent (im hoping) grades. I dont want to give specifics, since it would take too long and really, who cares right?
Heres a question, what would you be willing to do to be accepted, assuming that if you didn't do this "thing" you would be rejected?</p>
<p>Good luck to all, as well!
I'll be waiting for Harvard EA e-mail decisions on the 14th.</p>
<p>Columbia in the RD round :)</p>
<p>Lynda, yeah I'm kinda divided like that too. The more logical/analytical/caring about school, grades, that kind of stuff part of me really worries about not getting in and freaks out occasionally.</p>
<p>The other part of me, the part I'm more fond of frankly, thinks, the hell with it. If I don't get into any college, I'll just become a wandering poet, a poor struggling artist. That's what I really want to do anyways...</p>
<p>in a sense.</p>
<p>for me, logic rules. I'm not that artsy besides the actress part of me</p>
<p>good luck prospective columbians! I'll be waiting forever for that Yale EA decision to come on the 15th.</p>
<p>just be happy that you know when you're going to find out.....i applied to uchicago EA and they snail mail it around "mid-december" :(</p>
