<p>Man, I NEED something to distract me!! I am really trying hard to prepare for the worst, but I know I will be just crushed if I don't get in come December 15th. Grrrr.</p>
<p>same here. ideas, anyone?
...i need something to stop me from obsessively checking the website lol</p>
<p>Get laid.</p>
<p>Just kidding.
I'm freaking out about my first rejection.</p>
<p>As early decision hopefuls increase this year, so do the sales of...condoms?</p>
<p>Maybe they do, but you're totally right, as much as I try to tell myself there are other schools, I just know I'm going to be totally heartbroken if I don't get it.
We're supposed to hear on the 10th right?</p>
<p>Where did you hear that?</p>
<p>That's what the website said when I submitted my application</p>
<p>so i just called the fin aid office and they said the online tracker wasn't working, but they can check it for you if you just call them and give them your columbia id.</p>
<p>is it just me or is it extremely annoying how we don't have a notification date yet?</p>
<p>URGH it is not just you i am sooooo annoying! i so thought i was gonna get an email today, and i came home from school and checked...nothing!</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhhhhhhi know sameee!!!!! i just got home and like ran to check and we still havent gotten the email!!!!</p>
<p>haha i did the same thing. yea it seems like other schools either kno its the 15th or they've been told an earlier date (brown and cornell for example)</p>
<p>Wait did you find out about the financial aid application materials by calling or your actual acceptance?</p>
<p>Ahh I'm freaking out!!
My bet is we'll find out December 15th...
Sometimes when I think about the process, I think I'll definately be in because of my Equestrian accomplishments/ talking to the coach but I'm a white female...
Even though Columbia is "need blind," Do you know if it's true that it helps if you don't
apply for aid becuase I didn't</p>
<p>i hope ur wrong about the date because waiting that whole weekend is gonna suck. im not sure about the financial aid thing but they arent supposed to take that into consideration. and dont feel bad about being a white female cuz im a south asian male...we're in the same boat haha</p>
<p>Yeah, I really don't think the race thing is fair at all...
I think it would be better to apply things like "affirmative action" to kids that have come from "bad areas" but not just solely based on race...It just bugs me becuase I'm very enthusiastic about diversity (even included it in my essay) but I don't think diversity has anything to do with the color of your skin but rather roots and culture/ your views on the world</p>
<p>yup i agree with u</p>
<p>hey guys, don't the questbridge people find out today?? Anyone here find out yet???</p>
<p>not to ruin the theory about results coming out on the 12th, before the weekend, but Penn announced that the 15th was still the date for their ED. so maybe its still the 15th for us?</p>
<p>i hope im wrong.</p>
<p>Yes, but in previous years Columbia has mostly announced the decisions the week before the fifteenth! I'm usually not a very hopeful person, but in this case, not knowing is making me crazy, so the only thing left to do is hope (or go crazy, which I think I have)</p>
<p>...haha, has anyone else already picked out their dorm? (if accepted)
I always catch myself talking like I already go to Columbia</p>
