<p>General Comments: Surprised I expected rejection haha. I feel honored =)</p>
<p>I’ve just spent 9.5 hours trying to login to Columbia (it says I have tried 397 times; I should have just done homework instead.) I have 2 pins associated with my account, apparently, and the “help” people haven’t helped at all. I really liked Columbia, but today has been such an awful experience, even if I do get in (if I ever find out what my decision is) I kind of think I don’t want to go there after all. I already gave them $85, and I’m not so sure about $200,000 more.</p>
<p>Wow! Congrats to all of those accepted. =] You all will have such an amazing time at Columbia. </p>
<p>To those who were not admitted and Columbia was your dream school–You will have a super amazing time at the school you do decide to attend, and that school is so lucky that they’re having you! =] </p>
<p>Much love!</p>
<p>Decision still not up for me?</p>
