<p>Congrats!
No e-mail for me :(</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in!! 
I’m only even more nervous now since I didn’t receive anything. Ugh. Hopefully there will be good news for the rest of us in the upcoming days (i.e. between May 15 and July 1)!</p>
<p>I got in too! Congrats everyone who got in, and good luck to the others :)</p>

Congrats 
What time did you get the E-mail?</p>
<p>I got the e-mail at exactly 5pm EST</p>
<p>congrats vikramcpo and everyone! And hang in there Calgirl15!</p>
<p>Thank you projectmom1 and rwyzan! This was for Columbia College btw.</p>
<p>Heey guys, I’m most likely turning down my offer to go to Brown so they’ll be more space for you guys :)</p>
<p>To those who were accepted, congrats!!! I didn’t receive an email but I am still incredibly interested in attending columbia. How many days did they give you to respond to their offer? I’d like to know when a possible second wave of emails will be sent.</p>
<p>Congrats to all! The e-mail says to respond by 5/23/11 by 11:59 PM! I am super excited!</p>
<p>hopefully that means that I will receive something between now and the 23 haha</p>
<p>actually, it means you won’t hear anything until at least the 23rd, because that’s when they will finalize all the results</p>
<p>question for those who were accepted: What kind of applicant are you? Often schools use the waitlist to fill certain demographic needs–gender, race, major, etc. Also, any word on how many they’re taking?</p>
<p>I am male, South Asian, Classics/Bio and was accepted to CC of the waitlist</p>
<p>How many kids have been accepted so far?</p>
<p>wow - great job those who got in.</p>
<p>i was waitlisted for cc as well - in need of peoples honest opinions. my friend has been telling me to withdraw my app bc a book i listed on my app, i had not finished reading at time of application. i srsly did not think this was an issue before he mentioned it. could i get some feedback ?</p>
<p>@ projectmom1: Thanks! I actually just got back from visiting UC Berkeley’s campus (where I’ll be attending in case the waitlist doesn’t work out), and I’m happy to report that I LOVED it (with the exception of the south side of the city, which I thought was really run-down, and the questionable folks on Telegraph Avenue). The only problem is that since I’m not a U.S. citizen, my parents have to pay $50K a year for tuition and at least $10K more for housing and other living expenses (housing in Berkeley is NOT cheap!). In that case, I’m thinking that I might have to accelerate my degree with the help of AP credits, and try to graduate in 2 years so my parents won’t have to spend so much money. I’m actually scared at the prospect of being an 18-year-old Berkeley graduate - people will think I’m some sort of genius freak when I am nowhere near being a genius, and I don’t exactly want people to think I’m a freak either. Soooooo… yeah. I’d really like to come to Columbia because the financial aid would allow me to stay for 4 years to complete my degree. In my opinion, there’s really no point in trying to rush through college. Unfortunately, I might have to do so at Berkeley due to financial constraints :(</p>
<p>Your friend was just being really sarcastic. Either that or he doesn’t want you to succeed. Keep your app there.</p>
<p>@calgirl15
I’m so sorry about the financial aid situation! I hope it works out for the best. And I’m sure people won’t think you are a “genius freak” :). </p>
<p>And I agree with blanket92. That’s no reason to withdraw your app!</p>
<p>@ dlambi: Why are you choosing Brown over Columbia? I got into Brown as well and I’m still not sure which school I prefer. I love them both!</p>
<p>brown and columbia are two entirely different types of schools!</p>
