Hello guys…didn’t see a thread for the waitlisted applicants… Has anyone accepted the offer?
I did! What about you?
I did. Still have to write the extra essay tho
@audblock @wannagotoharvard safety schools?
I did! Currently working on my essay. Hoping for the best.
what’s the situation for waitlisted people? do you just submit an additional essay (also what is the essay exactly?)??
It was indicated in the email that the extra essay was not mandated
Oops… I meant mandatory
Seems like a lot of people got waitlisted. Does anyone else think they’ll have a really hard decision to make if they get off the waitlist? Columbia is my dream school but I’m really excited to go to OU.
@siennagr what school is OU?
University of Oklahoma
I was waitlisted too and will write the essay as soon as I am done with my exams.
Does anyone have any statistics about the waitlist?
@Lovebug339 so I don’t really have but just I know that Yale waitlisted 1012 students , so we can make a conclusion Columbia waitlisted thereabouts. But also Columbia’s yield rate is significantly lower than Yale’s, so maybe they waitlist more. I don’t personally know how many of the students get off the waitlist. Have you been waitlisted?
@butumu extra essay? You mean letter? What should I include?
Yep. Got the good old limbo letter. I’m also wait-listed at Vanderbilt and Williams. What about you?
I basically wrote about what I have been up to these few weeks and I also talked about why columbia is a perfect fit for me…it was about 300 and something words less than a page 12 font and times Roman
Does anyone know if you can submit more than one update or if that would be advised?
Try to put all your information in one page I.e one update
