<p>There’s a tiny fraction of myself that’s saying, “It might happen! It’s possible!” The other part of me is whimpering quietly in a corner somewhere in the recesses of my mind, having already given up. Less than seven days left. My heart rate rises at the name “Columbia.” Don’t expect good news from me come the 11th, but the best of luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>Has anyone read the Harvard Class of 2019 thread? There are 135 pages vs. 12 on the Columbia one.</p>
<p>Try not to think about it, although I know how hard that is. It inevitably pokes out your brain only to start worrying. By now, the admission committee has probably finished making its decisions. Also your worrying has ZERO bearing on your admission decision! Try to relax and have a normal week 
</p>
<p>@ilovethecity I posted not two weeks ago only to come back to see “1.3k new”. By then, I was like I’m not going in that thread. </p>
<p>Are you guys sure that results will be out on Dec. 11?
Also, how will i know my decision first? mail? online? common app? Thanks! and Good luck to all:)</p>
<p>@reecie659 DUDE. That is literally exactly what is going on in my head right now (and the past week). I imagine that a lot of us are experiencing these same exact feelings. </p>
<p>BTW, in case if you guys haven’t noticed, the application tracking portal has been extended to December 7th (3 more days). I’m not sure what this means lol</p>
<p>I just checked and it still says the 4th… Where did you see the 7th lol?</p>
<p>i got 4th too</p>
<p>Same. </p>
<p>@yellowboy</p>
<p>@yellowboy mine says the 4th too haha </p>
<p>It says the 7th on the actual Columbia undergrad admissions web page: <a href=“http://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu”>http://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu</a>
But in my tracking portal it still says the 4th, so…idk which one’s correct lol. Either way, that won’t affect the release date of the decisions, so it doesn’t really matter </p>
<p>How do you know it won’t affect the the release date? They probably have a reason behind the extension. </p>
<p>@ds0501 would it be because they’re trying to squeeze some last minute interviews in for early decision candidates? Maybe they need a bit more time? </p>
<p>That really has nothing to do with the tracking portal though lol. @astrokid</p>
<p>@ds0501 idk lol colleges work in mysterious ways :)</p>
<p>How many kids from your school are interested in Columbia?
I’m the only ED applicant, but there will be 6 RD applicants, including 2 of my best friends ; </p>
<p>I’m the only ED applicant and there are maybe 2-3 RD applicants… I go to a small private school though so I’m sure thats a bit low compared to other schools…</p>
<p>One girl didn’t get in with QuestBridge and only one other person is applying at all (he applied early). Literally in the almost 20 years my school has been open, only one person has ever gotten into Columbia (last year). I’m hoping to be the next!</p>
