Agh I didn’t get in 
I feel like there isn’t really a waitlist it just says that to whoever didn’t get in.
@Dartmouth_21 Aw shoot… I’m starting to doubt CE2’s waitlist then if I was “waitlisted” but not given a fee waiver. After the waitlist paragraph, the last thing I got was “We appreciate your interest in Columbia University.”
@pickletickler hmm yeah the waitlist thing is weird. It might turn into an acceptance though because PEEP and CE2 are on the same weekend so some people might decline
Waitlisted, looks like a ton of people did and i doubt were getting off of it. @pickletickler i think theyll give a fee waiver to all the waitlisted people after they tell us we didnt get off the waitlist
I got waitlisted as well. I’m not too bummed though. I can’t really miss 3 days of school anyway. What is PEEP though?
@wishhhh peep is upenns equivalent basically for this program, but with more emphasis on minorities
Did anyone get rejected but not waitlisted? Because I’m starting to suspect they just “waitlisted” me to make me feel better. I also didn’t get a fee waiver.
@amandanee1 I’m entirely in the same boat as you!! I’m actually starting to suspect that the fee waiver isn’t given to everyone but based on stats instead? It might just seem like everyone who applies gets the waiver since everyone on CC generally has stellar stats. Does anyone mind sharing theirs?
Got rejected (no waitlist), got a fee waiver. 
Is it bad that I wasn’t waitlisted? Probably means they’ll reject me when I apply. Sigh.
@pickletickler 2330 sat 4.0 gpa like a 4.5 unweighted 800 phys 800 math 2
No waiver
@y0l0lsen thank you for the info!! Hopefully we get a waiver afterwards 
P.S., congrats on having such wonderful stats!
@pickletickler yeah i’m a little salty because I reaaallly wanted that fee waiver hahaha

Ayyy, got accepted! Can’t wait!
Is it a better sign to get waitlisted with no fee waiver or rejected with a waiver? Confused.
@shadyrainbows i hink the waitlisted people will get fee waivers after they are told they are no longer on the waitlist
But what’s up with the people who got waitlisted with a waiver? So confused
@y0l0lsen hmm maybe! Reason why some on waitlist got waivers and some didn’t?
Rejected :(( Its ok I don’t want to be a engineer lol… Still kinda sad tho
