Hahahaha, yeah I feel the same way. But I think that there is no specific rule, since my X showed up today it MAY mean that they are still going over some applications. End of the day would make sense if that is what is going on.
Again, that is all speculation. We got to wait for the official contact.
TBH anyone saying “it’s over for me” or “I guess I’m not getting in cause I don’t have an X”…chill out. It may or MAY NOT mean anything! Just because you don’t have one, doesn’t mean you’re rejected. I hate the self-pity that is going on here. You’ll get in if you’re meant to. Even if you think you’re qualified, it doesn’t mean Columbia would be the BEST fit for you socially, culturally, or otherwise. There are many factors that play into a holistic review! Take it easy, and honestly if any of is rejected or if all us are, we will all end up going somewhere that is perfect for us in the end and best suites our career and educational goals.
Totally agree
Where are you guys all located? I’m currently in SoCal and 3 hours behind East Coast. I’m guessing the decision would released 5pm EST

Admitted!!!
I thought I had a backup plan, but in reality an alternative to GS would not be easy for me to find. Tears streamed down my face when I saw my acceptance letter. Thank God! I worked so hard for this. Congrats to all! Hope to see you all on campus!
OH YEAH AND ONE MORE THING: RED X’s AND FINANCIAL PORTAL LOGIN DONT MEAN ANYTHING! Ugh! What anxiety that put me through! Take note future applicants!!! I got in with neither! lol
