Columbia ED Class of 2025 Discussion Thread

How confident is everyone feeling??

just feeling super nervous!! dont know how this admissions cycle is going to go because of all the corona stuff but trying to keep positive though, how about you??

Same!! I wonder whether it means more people will get accepted or lessā€¦Just hoping for the best tbh :sweat_smile:

Iā€™m so nervous! Good luck to everyone!

Does anyone know anything about what is happening at Columbia with the tuition strike? I applied ED but now I am feeling less sure. Would love to hear what others are thinking.

Yeah, Iā€™m also wondering how this whole test-optional situation is going to pan out, eek! :fearful:

in the contacts section when thereā€™s an option for ā€œconversation w/alumā€ do grad school alums count?

has the ā€œupdate applicationā€ dropdown disappeared for anyone else?

Are all of your addresses still there? I hope this isnā€™t like what happened with Stanford where:
no address, no update app button = rejected

no address, yes update app button = deferred

yes address, no update app button = accepted

I really doubt it though.

It still shows my address, but I donā€™t have the update app button. What did Stanford do with theirs? I didnā€™t apply there.

Mine has my address, but no update app

Mine also has address but no update app. I doubt that entails anything though

Mine also has my addressā€¦ Best of luck to all !!

Waitā€¦ So everybody has no update button but has address? If thatā€™s the case, I think this information is not helpful. Is there anybody who are in a different situation?

yea I donā€™t think its helpful, but it was true for Stanford, at least for the people I know that did/didnā€™t get in. Someone earlier (it now says its deleted) said they didnā€™t have their address: perhaps they didnā€™t see it and then did. The reasoning behind this claim is that if you have an update button, it means you got deferred since you will need to update your application to move onto the regular round. If they deleted your address, it means they removed you from their database. If you have an address and no update button, it means you canā€™t update your application, but youā€™re still in their database, which means you will be admitted. However, this an probably easy mistake to avoid, and it would be odd if Columbia would make such a mistake.

Has anyone made a Discord server for Columbia prospective students yet?

even if it was true this stuff happened a lot closer to their decision time so
