Columbia Class of 2020 ED Applicant Thread

@gearsstudio not mine

Please can someone answer my question. Thanks!

@greysanatomy3113 None of us truly know as we’re all in the same boat. CU hasn’t sent out anything other than the application status page, so as of right now it can be assumed that it is the “portal.”

Two years ago RD was released exactly at 5pm on your status page.

When 5pm on the 10th comes around I don’t know if I will have the willpower to check ~X( I wan’t to know so badly but I also don’t want to know. Really trying not to get my hopes up but it’s so difficult not to.

@gearsstudio My guidance counselor sent my first quarter grades to CU a while ago

Im slowly dying with anxiety…hbu?

I am dreading it, yet it cannot get here soon enough!

It’s one of those things that if a week from today is going to come, I want it here already!

Look on the bright side; it’s already Thursday! Just one more day of school tomorrow, and the weekend will fly by. Before you know it, it’ll be decision day!

I’ll admit that next Thursday morning/afternoon will be excessively painful though.

i am jam-packing next week with activities so i’ll be super busy and won’t have time to think about it! hahah i am preparing myself for the worst.

@MLMarylandB couldn’t have said it better myself! and @allista that’s exactly how I’m thinking about it. The weekend always goes by so fast, and this week flew by too! Just think, in less than a full week from right now, we’ll have our decisions! How crazy is that.

Yea just keep busy and it will be here soon enough!

I heard a rumor that some Stanford decision results are out. Looks like we’re next on the chopping block soon.

Update: Columbia just posted on their undergraduate admissions page that Early Decision results will be out on Thursday, December 10th after 6 PM Eastern Time.

Ugh, an extra hour of waiting!

If it’s after 6pm, then does that not mean it is right at 6pm?

Hi guys, just saw this message in my financial aid tracker. Not sure what it means because I sent all my documents in and they’ve received it? Really hope I didn’t forget anything lol did anyone else get this message/know why? :confused:
