Columbia ED Applicants

<p>decisions officially come out tomorrow (for all us East Coasters anyway)</p>

<p>Whoah whaaaat</p>

<p><em>edit</em> As in, are you 100% sure? Tomorrow? Not pranking us?</p>

<p><strong>Double edit</strong> Ah, I forgot that you guys passed midnight. For a second I thought you were talking about tomorrow as in less-than-twenty-four-hours tomorrow. I had a mini-heart attack lol</p>

<p>@WhyAmIOnThisSite: Doing exactly the same thing. Thank god for GTA Online.</p>

<p>i just found out my third teacher rec about my teacher using the book i wrote in her cirriculum next year did not go through and i kind of want to cry… AHHHH</p>

<p>also, this is a terrible question, but does writing a book even increase chances of getting into a school as amazing as columbia if my gpa and sat scores are mediocre, but in my application, my passion is clearly for writing?</p>

<p>Kuawai no one knows. Admissions are extremely unpredictable. Adcoms are human after all.</p>

<p>1 day left!</p>

<p>I’m from hongkong and results come out 6am friday here. I’m afraid I’d not be able to sleep tomorrow night urgh.</p>

<p>@havealilfaith I’m applying ED from HK too! Which school do you go to?
I’m going to be up at 5:55a.m. and refreshing the page…</p>

<p>@kauaiwai: Did you write a book or was one of your books published by an established, for profit, publishing company? There is a BIG difference. I’m sure you’ll agree.</p>

<p>You say “mediocre” GPA and scores. Whatever that means, very few ECs can trump a non-spectacular academic record.</p>

<p>Just wondering, do decisions come out at 12:00am on Thursday or at another time? Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Amraam120, they come out at 5pm on Thursday in New York (and 12am on Friday for me cause I live in Eastern Europe)
depending on where you live, it’s gonna be different :)</p>

<p>Guys!</p>

<p>I just came across this link: <a href=“https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/welcome/login?destination=node/1[/url]”>https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/welcome/login?destination=node/1&lt;/a&gt; that is supposed to be a welcome message for admitted students. I tried putting in my Columbia ID and DOB in, but it didn’t read it. That either means that the system hasn’t been updated yet or that I’ve been deferred or denied. It would be great if all of you could try to login yourselves - then perhaps, we’ll find out if this will actually know our decisions or not!</p>

<p>^I can’t login, either. The portal is returning a message that states “Sorry, unrecognized username or password.”</p>

<p>didn’t work either.
don’t think that it will with anybody</p>

<p>@weweillwin I tried, it didn’t read either.</p>

<p>Haha, guys, while I’m calming down my nerves a bit since no one can login, we can’t know for sure until more people can’t login. If anyone can, then naturally the rest of us haven’t got in. So everyone who’s applied ED to Columbia and is on CC, I request you to please try to login and post on this forum whether you could login at all. Thanks :D</p>

<p>wewillwin, it didn’t work for me either. They might not have updated it yet though. I really hope it’s that.
25 hours left!</p>

<p>Stop, I just got my hopes up for a second… Until it didn’t work that is</p>

<p>Didn’t work for me either. Don’t scare me like this…</p>
