Lol! I get that esp when you want something so bad. Just fingers crossed! I am sure you will get accepted.
are you guys coming from community colleges or 4 year colleges?
4 year college
4 years! Does that make a difference?
I don’t think so. It really depends on your story
I was just curious. I’m coming from a community college and people from GS frequently hold transfer sessions and things like that on campus and thats the only way I found out that it existed. Not super relevant but waiting for a decision is so hard
My son is taking a gap year after completing his freshman year at Skidmore College. He is considering applying to Columbia’s GS for fall of 2018. Is his story similar to any of your stories?
I have had five years break in my education. I would call GS School and ask further questions.
Hopefully some of us hear back tomorrow, fingers crossed
Check your emails! I just got an acceptance. Good luck to everyone!
@melodyashby congrats! Im gonna apply next year. Can you share your status? Hope everyone can get accepted . And leave ur status for potential candidates good luck
Congrats!!! Still didn’t get anything 
Sure, as far as highschool was I didn’t do super well, mostly B’s and some A’s and I barely tried on the SAT and got a 1450 (out of 2400 so not very good). I ended up taking a year and a half between high school and college because I didn’t know what I wanted to do and had no motivation for school. I spent the time working and volunteering then went to a community college and the time off really helped because now I have a 3.9 GPA. I wrote my essay on my lack of motivation towards the end of high school and how my break changed me and my perspective as well as a short time I spent In Bolivia working with an orphanage in the summer. I had my recommendations come from my History Professor from whom I took 2 classes and my boss who I’ve worked for for 2 years. What I gather from my experience is that the past doesnt matter so much as you striving to improve yourself. Hope this is what you were looking for
Ahh that’s so amazing!! Congrats once again!
@melodyashby Thanks a lot! I’m studying at community college too, things doing well so I wanna give it a shot.Congrats again. Hope you enjoy your new journey!!!
Did anyone else hear back today? I still haven’t gotten anything and I’m starting to get a little nervous.
@melodyashby congratulations! that’s very good news
I just received an email indicating that I was accepted. Good luck to those who are still waiting!
@ZahidSajidi good to hear that! Would you mind sharing your status as conference?
Did anyone receive any notification today? I have yet to receive either an acceptance or denial.
