<p>I’m pretty sure that we don’t even have that form yet.</p>
<p>My daughter has that line item as well…disbursement?</p>
<p>I can’t even get on to my financial aid because I never made an account and I can’t log into the tracking system to get their.</p>
<p>@Stanfordmania: the stats for the deferred and rejected students mostly mirror the admitted students. Sure there are handfuls of zero-chancers but mostly, many “qualified” people are gonna be rejected/deferred.</p>
<p>Guys, I literally got my Columbia App Notification email 3 minutes ago, and I’m freaking out! THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.</p>
<p>Same, my palms are sweating. I checked the link just in case Columbia wanted to hit me up 9 days early, but I guess we’ll have to do things their way and wait this out.</p>
<p>Can all 3,296 of us just meet up and have some sort of fun party/get together to wait these next few days out? This is torture…</p>
<p>Can we? We’ve got 9 days to find a central location and brace ourselves for rejection together.</p>
<p>What required documents do you guys have listed under FA tracker? I have 4 documents required for packaging (CSS , tax return, noncustodial parent profile, noncustodial parent tax return). If I dont have the disbursement listed, is it a sign of rejection?</p>
<p>Party at my place woot woot! 
Soon as I add about ten acres to the backyard…but seriously though, this should be a thing.</p>
<p>This is hell 9 more days and I have am meet that day it won’t end till seven so what am I going to do</p>
<p>Armageddon day: Dec 12, 2013</p>
<p>I used to think that a deferral would be worse than a rejection but now that the time is upon us, I think an outright rejection isn’t gonna be too healthy for self esteem while we wait for the rest of the decisions.</p>
<p>Hi everyone. I have been stalking this post for a while now, and I thought I’d join the conversation.
Everyone keep hanging in there you’ll know soon enough.</p>
<p>Regarding the disimbursement thing, I called Columbia and they said that that’s for the 2013 papers that are not yet available. So- basically it’s if you get accepted. Do not worry about that. </p>
<p>Ah, I’m at that point where I kind of gave up about being accepted. I’m quite superstitious, and my mom has been having bad dreams. We googled the meaning, and the meaning was: it signals that you will not get what you want. My mom’s dreams were never wrong- she dreamed correctly about which college she will get into, her sisters, my grandfather’s death, her sister’s marriage, etc…</p>
<p>Just curious: Does anyone else think they WILL get accepted?</p>
<p>I know its probably healthier to convince yourself you won’t be… but still, I find myself believing I’m going to get in despite everything I tell myself…</p>
<p>I see stats and percentages and I realize how slim my chances are… but at the same time I can’t shake my belief…
Which is going to make rejection (if it comes) even worse. </p>
<p>FYI not trying to brag/not trolling… just thats how I feel.</p>
<p>haha, all the signs I’ve had were good ones. </p>
<p>It started over spring break when I was on the train to go to my visit to Columbia. I was reading Catcher in the Rye and I read the part where he’s on the train to New York (like I was!) and mentions Columbia.</p>
<p>App tracking opened on my mom’s birthday.</p>
<p>Plus lots more, haha…</p>
<p>But I really hope I get in… cause I haven’t started any supplements for any of my RD’s yet… uh oh</p>
<p>I was so scared that the disbursement thing showing up meant I was rejected already. Ahh.</p>
<p>Not showing up* oops</p>
<p>Mthompson, yeah me too… I’m wondering why it comes up for some people and not others. Thats the weird part… And for some people the FAFSA comes up but i have nothing… Weird. I just assumed is some people like have documents showing up there it means something because they wouldn’t waste their time and put it for a rejected applicant. Oh well. </p>
<p>Waiting for the answer is the worst misery imaginable because I keep
Making up scenarios in my head and they are killing me!</p>
<p>DreamAway, you don’t think columbia would do that, do you? If they did, and it indicated decisions, wouldn’t that be huge trouble? I’m so scared haha</p>
