Columbia Class of 2021 ED Applicant Thread

@meb5312 @arp987 Ivy day is supposed to be December 15th for ED applications, but some think it’ll be December 8th.

There is no “Ivy Day” for ED applications. Several ivies came out on the same day last year, but that is not always the case. Harvard, Brown, and Yale come out on December 13th, 14th, and 15th, respectively. Not the same day.

Hey guys. Due to some FSA and CDOC shenanigans, I was unable to submit my Financial Aid forms by the November 15 ED deadline. Would this in anyway affect my admissions chances? I’m okay with not getting financial aid if I do get in ED. Also, with 1590/1600 on the SAT, a pretty good interview, good essays, good extracurriculars, and living in Virginia, what do you think my chances are? Thank you guys so much!

I talked to my GC today and she told me she received a letter saying the results will be released on December 12.

December 12 is Monday. It does not look right.

Last year it was December 10th, the year before the 11th. So maybe it is the second Thursday in December, making it the 8th this year?

My GC let me see the letter myself, and I can confirm that it is December 12th

Should I call Columbia if they never received my ED agreement even though I sent it through the Common App and had my GC do it twice?

You could call or email them. I emailed them early November and they responded to my email within 2 hours.

there is no need to argue. Columbia will email us the exact date

Anyone else applying to SEAS?

I am!

Did anyone apply to the dual program between Columbia and Sciences Po?

@ILoveOliviaPope I was going to! it seems like an incredible program. I ended up just applying to CC though because I decided I wanted options and I also was worried that if I didn’t get in then I’d totally throw away any shot at going to Columbia. I wish there was a way to apply to both programs though. Best of luck!

Hey guys,
Just saw a letter addressed to my school saying that Columbia ED decisions will come out Monday the 12th

Is it possible that you can take a pic of that letter and show it to us?

I have also received confirmation from my guidance counselor that ED decisions will be released Monday, December 12.

Chance me: female applying to SEAS
-108/110 GPA; 32 ACT; founder of school’s girls who code club; school president; active pancreatic cancer researcher
-common app and columbia u’s essays were very good for the most part EXCEPT i realized after i submitted that my why columbia essay was not that specific

Did some research… The ED notification for Columbia last 6 years:
2015: Thursday Dec. 10th
2014: Thursday Dec. 11th
2013: Thursday Dec 12th
2012: Thursday Dec 6th
2011: Thursday Dec. 8th
2010: Thursday Dec. 9th

A few have said it’ll be next Monday (the 12th), but seems like it’s always on a Thursday (which would be the 8th). Thoughts?

While I agree with you that past dates seem to indicate that results will come out on Thursday the 8th, we have at least 4 different people whose guidance counselors say they got a letter stating December 12. Could always be a first!
