***Columbia 2022 RD Applicants Discussion***

BTW Chicago and CMU legacy

@maddieportnoy18 lol I haven’t even gotten into college yet :frowning:

Deferred EA from UChicago (originally applied ED, then switched to EA, withdrew app)
Northeastern EA (hasn’t come out yet)
Just submitted Columbia and Emory last night, already applied to WUSTL and Fordham RD, Penn (top choice) and GWU due on Friday, Georgetown next week, Michigan and CWRU due after that

No legacy anywhere, unhooked white male so not expecting many acceptances :frowning: but we’ll see

has anyone gotten the app confirmation email from columbia? with the portal information and all

yeah it takes about 24 hours for them to send it out. I got mine this morning and I submitted yesterday

My daughter got deferred from Princeton and is applying to UVA, UNC, Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Vassar and safety school Furman. She’s bumming because she hasn’t been accepted yet since P is the only one that has come out. Good luck to everyone.

im doing columbia, uchicago and carnegie mellon

This is so stressful! I don’t expect to get in, so I guess all I need is to mentally prepare myself for rejection, but the waiting and ambiguity are killer :frowning:

Gotten accepted to UNH and UVM so far, not that it gives me anything to go on for more selective schools

I’ve only gotten into UT-Austin was rejected from Stanford. Have applied to Bowdoin, Swarthmore, Harvard, Boston College, Upenn and UChicago. My chances are very slim but ya never know :wink:

how long did it take to get your portals? i sent mine out 12/30 and still havent gotten anything

Same deal here. Submitted on 12/30 and still haven’t gotten my portal. Some of my friends who submitted after me have already got their portals, so I’m kinda worried.

i think ill email them/call if i dont get it by tomorrow

@UghDeferred @alisonmz99 that’s pretty weird. i submitted my application through common app literally at 11 at night on the 1st lol. i got a confirmation today (january 4th) for the portal. did you submit through common app or coalition? i would definitely double check that you have all the supplements submitted in either. if you do, maybe wait until next week and then call. they are very busy, as i’m sure you can imagine

best of luck to everyone with their other schools!! update everyone on where you get in.

i applied to:
-columbia (top choice – but my top choice is really not being in debt for the rest of my life so i’m going the place that i like the best that gives me the most money lol)
-american
-upenn
-northeastern
-case western reserve
-the college of new jersey

so far, i have been accepted to:
-george mason university honors college
-miami university of ohio university academic scholars program
-rutgers-new brunswick (waiting to hear about honors college/program for history)

@maddieportnoy18 I submitted through common app. Both my application and supplement have the downloaded status, so I’m not sure what’s up. Planning on calling tomorrow.

Send your applications in to Columbia and make sure everything is received.

Just got the portal-- took exactly a week

I saw someone say they had been accepted to Columbia and offered a spot on the debate team. Anyone heard of anything like this? The person applied RD.

I’ve gotten into Georgetown (EA), Boston College (EA), and my safety schools (both EA) so far.

Columbia is my top choice, but really not expecting it. If it doesn’t work out, my other favorites are Tufts, Carnegie Mellon, and Georgetown. Hoping for the best haha.
Other schools I’m waiting on: Northeastern and UMD College Park.

These months are gonna be so suspenseful lol. Best of luck to all of you!!!

@MaybeHarvard2022 i definitely have not heard of this. unless columbia scouts for debate like schools scout for sports, i highly doubt this is true.

When will Columbia release the application decision for RD applicants? I know last year it was 3/31, but seems like they are not planning to release it by April 1st.
