<p>hate countdowns 
so nervous</p>
<p>@Raychacha: Are you sure?</p>
<p>Ahh! Maybe Iāll just check them all on April 1st well after 2pm PST to avoid too much anxiety. Maybe. ( :</p>
<p>March 31st would be excellent. I really donāt want to be checking all 6 ivies I applied to on April 1st at 5.</p>
<p>My birthday is April 2nd =/ Iām gonna end up getting my rejection right before my birthday, itās going to be a SWEET 18th -___-</p>
<p>Columbia is my number one choice of school and I am pretty sure Iām not going to get in. I canāt help but be pessimistic. I would love more than anything to be accepted.</p>
<p>@ocgirl: No, haha. Itās just speculation on the Dartmouth boards as much as itās speculation here. I was just saying what theyāre thinking. Maybe itās a bit of wishful thinking on my part as wellā¦</p>
<p>h00dr1chh, psh mines april 1, which is when Iām gonna open it up because Iām in germany by 5 ET Ill be sleepingā¦</p>
<p>Itās gonna be one hell of a birthday present. Good or bad.</p>
<p>Is it email or real mail</p>
<p>I walked around campus today. Columbia was one of the two schools I truly loved, and after obsessing over the other, today I was reminded of just how much I love this school. No other school in the world is like Columbia. There is no alternative. I want to sincerely wish everyone good luck.</p>
<p>talking about countdownsā¦ waiting makes me crave food! :S
i have been munching down cookies like there is no tomorrow!!
does anyone else have these countdown quirks??</p>
<p>PS: i am an intl student asking for full aid. very high chances wonāt get into Columbia but i just looooove the place! Oh and Best of luck to everyone! XD</p>
<p>Yepp, i have the countdown quirks as well. My mood has been swinging up and down like a sine function - one minute I am really happy and the next Iam crying my eyes out -ā¦itās been absolutely terrible.</p>
<p>Iām actually not that stressed out any more b/c I got my first real acceptance (Chicago). So worst case scenario is I go to a school that I absolutely love (albeit not as much as Columbia). So whatever happens happens.</p>
<p>Iām in the same boat. I want so desperately to go to Columbia still, thoughā¦ I just absolutely fell in love. So much to do both on/outside of the campusā¦ just the kind of radical change I need from the California suburbs. I think it would be good for me. Too bad this realization had to come to me a month ago when I finally visited the campus. :/</p>
<p>I got a likely e-mail from NYU, so I know Iāll be going to a good school. But I still really want to be at Columbia next year. It just clicked when I stepped on campus for the first time.</p>
<p>Regarding the decision date: Yaleās website is saying April 1st. However, UPennās newspaper reported March 31st, and Columbiaās likely letter says March 31st as well. The Ivies agree to abide by a common notification date and time, and itās definitely either March 31st or April 1st- no one is quite sure which one, though.</p>
<p>Iām pretty sure its April 1st</p>
<p>I think the likely letters said that decisions will be mailed on 31 March. So if they follow the same practice as they did for ED, decisions will be online on 31 March and in your mailbox on 1 April.</p>
<p>Iām scared. I have crazy dreams at night. I just want it to be over. But at the same time, once we all know where weāve gotten accepted, what the heck are we gonna look forward to after (besides college) b/c the suspense (which is kind of exciting SOMETIMES) will be gone?</p>
<p>sooo, just curious. If you only have one of the two recommendations uploaded on the Columbia form, are you automatically rejected? (question from a friend)</p>
<p>Not to be too melodramatic or anything, but if you donāt get a likely letter, is there still hope?</p>
<p>Haha @ brontosaurus - the amount of people who get likely letters is REALLY tiny.</p>
<p>Iām not sure what the stats areā¦ but Iām relatively sure that 15% at most of admitted students get likely letters. And those are usually the most competitive applicants. The vast majority of admitted students will be notified on March 31 or April 1.</p>
<p>Donāt start panicking until March 30. Thatās my motto, at least ( :</p>
