i’ll be finding out about 10 minutes before a dinner theater performance at my school… I’m not looking forward to spending 2 hours fighting rejection tears lol
Just a quick question- If you don’t need/want financial aid, did you still need to submit fafsa for early decision?
@BLRevy my friend just didn’t submit the fafsa at all and got into cornell. he won’t be getting aid, but he doesn’t think he would’ve got any anyways
@ayudameporfavor ok thanks! phew I’m sort of in the same boat and thought I messed something up by not submitting it 
If I don’t have a snow day, I’ll be in the parking lot after work at 6, crying as I open the rejection… If I have a snow day, I’ll be on the steps of the Columbia Library, crying as I open the rejection…
Hey guys. I’ve been reading everyone’s comments, and I’ve decided to make an account just so that I can cry with everyone.
i don’t even know why I can’t wait until tomorrow when I know I will not get in…
has anyone thought about what they’re going to tell people if you don’t get in?? my school’s super competitive and everone knows i’m EDing but not where, i already have friends going to penn and cornell. also EVERYONE will ask you regardless of you wanting privacy
i think we’re all just gonna have to be straight up- nothing to be ashamed of i guess… we’re gonna end up at another college anyway so people are gonna find out sooner or later.
i’ve watched one friend get into UPenn the other day as two got rejected- it was DEPRESSING!
@rbd2017 just ignore them that’s they did at my high school haha. hang out with friends who don’t question/gossip about you
@rbd2017 I get where you’re coming from… All my friends know I applied and how much I want to get in… most people (in my experience) will kind of leave others alone if they get a negative outcome because they’re all going through the same thing we are, just different schools
Good luck to everyone!!!
One of my friends already got accepted to Wesleyan, her ED school, so there definitely is some pressure. I guess I’ll just have to wait
thanks everyone!
My only friend applying to an Ivy is applying ED to Brown and he literally wouldn’t tell anyone about it… starting to wish I had done the same thing because I really don’t want to tell all of my friends and family that I got rejected from Columbia
I can’t wait till tomorrow and I know i won’t get in so i will just cry in the bathroom 
Honestly, quite anxious over the decision. However, I still have this feeling that I did not get in. I did all that I could to get into Columbia, may the odds be for all of us.
I applied for philosophy as my first choice and biology as my second. Hopefully, it all works out for everyone on this thread.
Columbia University is my dream school ever since I spent three weeks of the summers following my sophomore and junior year of high school studying in the beautiful city of New York. I love the core curriculum and the school’s affiliation with NY-Presbyterian and Harlem Hospital. I just want to be part of the Columbia family for undergraduate. It would be the cherry on top of a wonderful high school career.
I should have worked on other applications this past week. That would’ve better prepared me for a rejection. But honestly it’s been impossible to think about anything except this!!
I’m so scared right now. My friend at rank 7 applied to Cornell and got deferred, and my valedictorian friend who is super involved in music got deferred by Stanford. And all my friends who did UPenn got rejected, I really don’t know how much being rank 3 of almost 900 kids and super involved in music and my underrepresented Asian culture will help honestly, I’ve been praying so much these past couple weeks…
