Columbia Class of 2020 ED Applicant Thread

@DoubleD11 They will send out admission decisions by mid December. It was 12/11 and 12/12 the past two years, I think. Also, this is from three years ago, but it shows how many early applicants Columbia got and how many it accepted: https://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■/2017-ivy-league-admissions-statistics/ :slight_smile:

Following is the list of the notification dates of the previous 5 years:
2010 - 12/9 Thursday
2011 - 12/8 Thursday
2012 - 12/6 Thursday
2013 - 12/12 Thursday
2014 - 12/11 Thursday

I strongly believe that the decision notification date is going to be 12/10 Thursday. I hope that this helps you well.

Now calm down and put everything down until the mid December.

I’m currently compiling a sad and a happy playlist for Thursday 12/10.

I just got an email for an interview from an alumni in my area! And then I realised she wants to meet me at the exact time my high school graduation takes place (my school year ends in November)… Great.

@galateaxx I mean I’m sure she’d understand and move your appointment around if you told her.

Good luck to all that applied! Best feeling ever getting accepted ED last year. Hope you all feel the same soon!

Anyone else EDing to SEAS?

I am! I wonder how many of the ED applicants get accepted to SEAS…

@magicalcanadian On WikiCU, it says 33.5% of ED applicants (for the class of 2011) got accepted to SEAS. http://www.wikicu.com/Admissions#Early_Decision Then again, as the years go by, more and more apply!

@WeasleyIsKing425 33.5% acceptance rate sounds so wonderful, My birthday is dec 11 so I’m expecting either the worst or the best birthday ever!

getting really worried that i haven’t gotten an interview yet…anyone else still waiting? Anyone else just received an interview email? I’m from a place where there are many alumni so I am very worried

@BostonBrotha I haven’t gotten an interview yet either, and I’m also from an area that should have a lot of Columbia alums.

Can’t wait to hear from Columbia. Just want to know already.

@BostonBrotha I also haven’t gotten an interview. I have a gut feeling a notification may come this week though, given the time frame - don’t lose hope!

Also checking in to say no contact about an interview in an area that has had interviews before. Nothing in my email, admission status site, or on my phone.

My son applied ED in mid october and he was contacted for an interview Nov 6. We live in south florida. I was told all candidates get alumni interviews so long as there are alumni in yoiur city. It may have to do with when the application was filed.

I just got an email for interview. Nervous now.

@iagoboy1 I filled out my ED application in Mid October as well and November is halfway gone…Are these interviews assigned randomly or do they choose not to interview those who they don’t think they want anyways (:o)

@BostonBrotha it depends on the availability of a Columbia alumni in your area.

My not receiving an alumni interview thus far has really been stressing me out. :’) Oh well… If there are no alumni, I trust that it won’t affect my application!
