Columbia University ED Class of 2022

@katewithak I’ll be judging an elementary school’s science fair and probably terrify the kids with my nervousness.

@katewithak you’re still gonna be in class at 5? i have no idea what my schedule is gonna look like next week. im almost glad that decisions werent released this thursday because i had something to do every single day of the week EXCEPT thursday lol so i wanted some peace and quiet in my life for a little bit :))

@katewithak how did you find out the time of release???

This is going to be the longest 10 days of my life…

When’s Dartmouth’s date again?

@kimchimaster they release it around the same time each year (look back in the thread for discussion about the date)

Ah, the scourge of the 4:45 class. It’s a virtual class (but the tech is at my school) and the teacher of this school collective is based in California, so it’s a 2:45 for him. It’s kind of a pain, but I really enjoy the class (Arabic) so it’s worth it. @1984ad

I’ll be in the midst of cramming for my last (but worst) final when I see my decision… plus I have to finalize my college list and send it through email to my counselor that day so it’ll either be a hella happy or sad email lol

@katewithak that sounds interesting!!

i’m gonna need something to do that day (if nothing comes up) so i dont spend hours in my room waiting for the dumb rejection lol. anyone have any ideas?

you could smack your head on your pillow (that’s what i’ll be doing), or you could just sleep forever!! and never face rejection!!

@katewithak i wish :(( i just want this decision to be over with already so i can clear my mind lol

@1984ad idk why, but cleaning is really helpful to soothe anxiety. I think it’s because it’s pretty easy to get absorbed into and it’s satisfying to have a clean space.

I’d also recommend meditating (try the calm app)/ talking a really long walk without a phone.

@mooseyellow thanks!

my gc is as in the dark about the date as I am… the theory that only schools with accepted kids got the letter seems a bit off to me but it has honestly only made me worry even more– I’ve been getting terrible anxiety during my AP Physics class

@bagelboy nah, that’s highly unlikely. from what i’ve seen, it seems like internationals got the letter if im not mistaken. plus, if you check out threads from previous years you can see that some people got the letter and others didnt, and acceptances had nothing to do with it. just chill ! :)>-

I just wish they sent out an email confirming the date bc I have two finals this week and checking my email every 30 minutes is distracting me :((

@bagelboy don’t worry about it! the letter wasn’t even really anything, all it did was verify the people who applied in the early round at my school and my counselor said that this letter doesn’t mean anything bc in past years they also received it and it didn’t reflect whether or not the applicant got in

GUYS i’m so nervous i can’t even breathe. plus i’m apparently going to get the news right in the middle of finals week… yikes!!

Wait. I’m slightly confused. How do people know decisions come out on December 14th? Didn’t they come out on the 12th last year, presuming they might come out out on the 11th?

@takacatboy guidance counselors for people in some schools received emails saying that they are releasing on the 14th. if you go back in the chat you’ll see it.
