@hsc927 I have a friend that got in. She declined the offer though
Does anyone have an idea why people don’t want to go Columbia? I mean I am so comfortable with people not going…it literally increases my chances but I am still confused
I also rejected NYU’s offer btw
@butumu It’s the luxury of choice, I guess :-??
@butumu NYC can be intimidating to some. My best friend didn’t want to go visit, nevermind applying. :-/
@Lovebug339 which school did your friend choose after turning down Penn?
@grundeis IDK. My counselor doesnt know either.
Does anyone on this thread live in NYC whose counselor might know? I’m on the west coast so my school’s connection with east coast schools are not very strong.
@butumu right… it’s hard to believe people wouldn’t want to live in NYC, but i’m biased since i always have wanted to…
@Camchar88 She already committed to NYUAD. So I guess she’s sticking with it…
Has anyone heard whether or not Columbia is using their waitlist this year?
they said mid-May, so i guess we might have to wait a little longer
I was told in about 2 weeks. The wait is killing meeeeeee :((
I think they will start late next week? Last year they did their two waves on Friday’s, a week apart
15th is the date they gave…
Hi everyone, class of '20 here. Some of you have been asking about the inflated number of students in the facebook pages; this is because some students from previous classes ('21, '20, '19) have been added to help answer questions. Best of luck to everyone and I hope to see you on campus this fall!
@roaree thanks! Sorry to repeat some of the questions posed earlier, do you know if the waitlist will be used this year? On the average, how many kids are on the waitlist?
@Camchar88 no one knows about their waitlist. They don’t post any waitlist stats from previous years either
I read somewhere that Columbia waitlists around 2,000. Yale and Harvard (who have much higher yield rates) waitlist around 1,000 so I think Columbia would waitlist around twice that.
@roaree Thank you so much for the information. I just wanted to ask if the admissions committee will be using the waitlist this year. Thank you and I also hope to see you this fall.
@Lovebug339 are you positive that Penn went to the waitlist already?
^because no one on CC or reddit has posted any news from Penn at all.
