<p>Does anyone know when Columbia will email decisions this year? For the past couple of years it has been the Friday the week of December 8th (correct me if I'm wrong)~ I ask because my family is planning a hiking trip... w/o internet that ENTIRE week... so obviously it would suck not being able to check. So yea, if anyone has any idea (or simply wanna confirm that it has been December 8th in the past) please tell me! Thanks!~</p>

<p>Get a blackberry or a treo or some other gadget with internet access. You've been obsessing about Columbia for months on here, so it might be well worth it ;)</p>
<p>NO. They send the decisions either December 31 or January 1 or whatever weekday is closest to there. There are no likely letters from Columbia.</p>
<p>They notified people last year by e-mail on December 8th.</p>
<p>Even if you're without internet/mail access, if you can get a phone there, you can probably call in to find your decision. Just write down the number for the admissions dept and leave the cell off until it's time.</p>
<p>You could always start hammering the FedEx site for anticipated deliveries.</p>
<p>Oh, sorry, I was thinking about RD, not ED. RD applicants find out April 1st. This is what weeks of midterms do to a person's brain. Sorry.</p>
<p>BUMP </p>
<p>26 days left =)</p>
<p>Argh, now that you're keeping a countdown... (:</p>
<p>I've pretty much managed to push my ED application to the back of my mind. I mean, I think about it in passing every once in awhile, but I'm kind of in the ignorance-is-bliss mode right now. </p>
<p>I'm excited for the decision, but at the same time, I don't want to dwell on it too much before it happens because worrying isn't going to do anything.</p>
<p>I'm only a junior but the majority of my friends are seniors and they all applied places EA or ED. It feels like I should be posting here talking about how I am anticipating that (most likely) rejection letter from Columbia but then I realize I have to wait that long, plus a year. Its torturing me.</p>
<p>This time last year, I was pretty mad myself. When I came to the U.S., I was qualified to be put into second grade (age-wise), but my parents put me into first instead because I didn't know English. Some of my closest friends are a grade above me, so this time last year, I just kept on hearing about college applications from them. It made me mad knowing that I could have been applying to college that time, had I been put into second grade as opposed to first.</p>
<p>But college application season approaches pretty quickly. One year really isn't all that much longer to wait. (:</p>
<p>Just focus on doing your best now :)
Anxiety for academic performance junior year is already crippling enough by itself!! Give yourself a break and let yourself worry later. I think I would have exploded if I were already worried about my acceptance/rejection back then.</p>
<p>haha I'm not worried at all. I just go with the flow on everything. If I don't get in, yeah I would be upset for the first day, but then I would just say to myself, it wasn't meant to be. I think everything happens for a reason. I only come on here because I am either bored or procrastinating.</p>
<p>That's a great attitude to have! It's what I tell myself, but I'm not sure how well I would deal with disappointment.</p>
<p>Hooray for procrastination! It's what I'm doing right now.</p>
<p>Aaah, I'm getting very nervous- just over three weeks away! I've kind of psyched myself for disappointment, though.</p>
