<p>when will columbia release the official dates when the acceptances will be put up?</p>
<p>@duude2297 I’m not an admissions rep, and I have no “insider knowledge” or anything like that, so take what I say with a grain of salt since this is pure speculation. BUT, Columbia has, to my knowledge, traditionally released its decisions on a Thursday before December 15th, and if you look at your status page, it says that you’re allowed to check your status up until December 4th. Last year, I know they took down the status page something like the day right before decisions were released, so that they could post decisions without all the web traffic of prospective-students frantically checking their pages. So…maybe we’ll be getting our decisions THIS Thursday? If not this week, then DEFINITELY next week, probably on Thursday. X_X </p>
<p>^Nm, it’s most likely going to happen next week; looking through the old threads, it seems that they let us know when the actual posting date is when the application tracking stops, not the actual decision. We’ll all probably find out around the 11th, in that case. Hopefully it’s sooner, but don’t get your hopes up lol.</p>
<p>Just called the admissions office, and they said admissions decisions will for sure be posted December 11th! So…10 more days! Lol</p>

what did you talk about in your “why columbia” essay instead of the Core?</p>
<p>sorry to intrude the conversation but I applied ED to Columbia too and am anticipating my decision… it’s funny I actually came here to find out the notification date too lol I’m so nervous now!!</p>
<p>I found out that I’ve been matched with/admitted to Columbia through QB! Just wanted to say hello and that I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s results on the 11th! Good luck!</p>
<p>congrats!! thats so exciting :)</p>
<p>@evanian15 congratulations!!! That’s awesome!!! Hopefully we’ll all be seeing you next fall :)</p>
<p>Thanks! Super excited, Columbia’s been my number 1 for as long as I can remember! Good luck everyone, just a few more days!</p>
<p>Yeah!!! Fellow Columbia Questie. Next year is gonna be awesome. </p>
<p>Hi, I feel like I’m intruding into this conversation so I apologize but I applied ED to Columbia as well. I can’t believe this grueling wait is going to end in 10 days. I was so nervous, actually I’m still nervous, but I just spent the past half hour reading through this forum and it really gave me some peace of mind. So here’s a thank you and good luck to everyone. 
Oh and a huggeee thank you to @naoman16 for confirming the app notification date, if it wasn’t for you I would’ve been obsessively checking my email and the status page for the entirety of next week. </p>
<p>Pardon my ignorance, but what is QB ?</p>

<p>@resayang19988 haha you’re welcome!! and trust me, I’m STILL going to be doing all that next week, just on the SLIGHTEST chance that that admissions rep lied to me! :p</p>
<p>@ballet19 Columbia admissions office on the one hand is adamant that ed vs rd makes no difference. “We know what we will have during RD so we know where you will rank in total consideration of you apply Ed”</p>
<p>But I heard an admissions officer say DEFINITELY apply ED if you are set on Columbia. </p>
<p>I have a hard time believing chances are not better ED. </p>
<p>Sorry to interrupt, but can anyone still login to your Columbia account? The portal told me no “account exists for this email” after I tried today </p>
<p>Hey, everyone. Just your run of the mill “I’ve been lurking on here long enough and have decided to join in on the conversation” post. I’m an ED applicant from Florida, and it’s definitely been a torturous wait, but there’s only a little over a week left until judgment day. Hope everyone gets their early Christmas present!</p>
<p>Mine works fine @yellowboy</p>
<p>@yellowboy I can still log into mine. </p>
