Columbia Decisions

<p>i sent my app in online. they only give you room for three lines with 75 characters in each one.</p>

<p>That's not the 'Why Columbia' section, that was the 'most important EC' section. 'Why Columbia' was about 8 or 10 lines long.</p>

<p>My "Why Columbia?" was about how when I went to the summer program, I fell in love with the duel atmosphere of the campus/city. I does sound a bit goofy, but I am from Alabama, and it was the absolute truth, not some made up stuff to get me in. Doesn't matter now though since I am in. I hope this helps some of you RDers rest easier.</p>

<p>birdofprey425, nope, it was definitely 3 lines long. did u do it online?</p>

<p>the why columbia section online was definitely more than three lines long</p>

<p>Yes, I did it online and yes, it was more than three lines long.</p>

<p>wow my response to "why columbia" was more about loving the city than the actual college. and i received a "likely" email from SEAS yesterday!</p>

<p>well actually...the why columbia was 10 lines!..the fav ecs was like 3 lines....grrrr....btw congrats ANON</p>

<p>when are the decisions out?</p>

<p>AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I can't escape Columbia. I see it in movies, tv, commercials, on these various boards, everywhere. It's such a sore spot for me-rejected ED ( 1510,4.5....) anyway, I'm into nyu and northwestern so far, Here's hoping for harvard and yale.</p>

<p>GOOOOODLUCK FREEEEEEEAKISH...sorry about the rejection!</p>

<p>lol, it just hit me...why are we talking about columbia in the harvard forum? :p</p>

<p>thanks, good luck to you too, my old friend from december</p>

<p>slicmlic-this post started when Columbia's early decisions were among the first released of the Ivies. Quality applicants were deferred/rejected (as happens in every round at every competitive school), but because it was the first of the year, people flipped out. Anyway, I'm not sure how it got resurrected.</p>

<p>hey northwestern is ranked above columbia by US News. <em>shrug</em></p>

<p>yeah serously...really qualified ppl got rejected ....it was strange....</p>

<p>OMG IM SCARED!</p>
