<p>hey from Cornell thread, congrats to all that got in. Good luck to all the deferred. And condolences to the rest. </p>
<p>my friend got in, very happy for her. BUT it makes me nervous to think about cornell's decision is only a week away...</p>
<p>from the Princeton board, congrats to all acceptees!
that is soo amazing...you guys must be thrilled!
I'm getting vicarious excitement from reading all the acceptances! there seems to be quiet a lot!</p>
<p>to defers/rejects, I have to say that many of you had very impressive stats, and I'm surprised that anybody with those stats would be outright rejected... but maybe you guys used up all your bad luck in the college game ;) so best of luck in RD!</p>
<p>I'm far too emotional for my own good right now, but I just want everyone in this forum to know that I sincerely wish you all the best of luck, whether you're accepted or not.</p>
<p>You're all clearly very talented people.</p>
<p>(And I wish all other EDers good luck!)</p>
<p>haha, i really like how all the kids from the other ivy league forums r coming to give congrats and condolances to the columbia kids... its really nice</p>
<p>btw, im from the penn forum and we all wish you the best of luck</p>
<p>I know, crouton! This is why I love these forums so much. You get an incredible amount of support.</p>
<p>well. i got rejected. hardcore. and surprisingly im perfectly okay. so now i am off to apply to lots of other schools. good luck to everyone in their future endeavors.</p>

<p>Nice to meet everyone - thanks for the support - there will be more "Columbia"s in life and odds are I'll hit next time.</p>
<p>My friend got accepted (SEAS I think)! I've known him for 14 years...it's weird, we're all grown up....</p>
<p>Ah! Good job to everyone who got accepted.
And for those of you who were deferred, keep up the AWESOME work you've been doing and acceptance RD wouldn't be so surprising.
And for the rejected kids, well, like everyone says, there are SO many other schools and everyone will get in somewhere great, I have confidence about that on CC.
So good luck to ALL. </p>
<p>Love,
A hopeful Yalie</p>
<p>Hi, here from the Princeton board. :) I just wanted to congratulate those who got in, console those who were rejected, and give hope to the deferred. Two friends of mine got deferred from Columbia.</p>
<p>Congratulations and good luck to everyone in the RD round!!</p>
<p>to those rejected/deferred:</p>
<p>"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by sweat and dust and blood; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in worth causes; who at the best, knows in the end of the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt</p>
<p>rejection (in all forms) is a difficult, but inevitable, part of our existence. remeber that a college does not shape who you are; you shape yourself, your life, your experiences. you're obviously talented to have even considered columbia, so don't lose the spark inside of you, that desire to be the best you can be. </p>
<p>with love from the penn ED board</p>
<p>That Teddy Roosevelt quote is one of my favorites :)</p>
<p>Just wanted to say the generic congrats, good lucks, and it's not the end of the worlds to everybody (far more talented and deserving people get rejected from Columbia than get accepted) from the UChicago and Swarthmore forums (haha, the only non-ivy ones so far I think)</p>

<p>Hey, i have a question for the guys admitted to SEAS. I might just be a little OCD, but my acceptance letter makes no mention to SEAS and only says i was admitted to Columbia University. I'm just wondering if this is what it says for you guys too, thanks.</p>

<p>From the Duke ED board, I'd like to say congratulations to those who got into Columbia and wish those who got deferred/rejected (plus my friend who got deferred ED) the best of luck, from all the stats I've seen on here, every person definitely has the potential to become very successful... college admissions is so random these days, especially at schools like Columbia.</p>
<p>yeah I'm from the Duke board. In a week I'll be awaiting my results... but I really do think that resilience is what makes people successful. The key to success in life is resiliency, reaching for your dreams, getting back on your feet when you've stumbled, believing in yourself even when the rest of the world doesn't. Just remember in life you'll have many challenges and stumbling blocks... jobs/job drama, *****y bosses, divorce maybe, family problems, financial issues, health problems. getting through the college process is just a tiny part of life. there's so much more to it than college A or college B!</p>
<p>Haha, I'm from teh Duke ED board as well, and I am so excited for everyone who was accepted, and I wish everyone who was deferred good luck in the regular decision round. Keep your hopes up. I'm sure that no matter what, a year from now you'll be happy with wherever you end up!!! Congratulations again, and wish me luck as I face this last week of waiting!!</p>
<p>Another one from the Cornell board... Congratulations to everyone who got in! And for the people whom fate did not shine down upon, fret not; From what I've seen here, there are some amazingly intelligent and talented students who applied. You all should be proud of your high school accomplishments regardless of what Columbia thought of them.</p>
<p>Accepted SEAS! I am so happy to get this off my shoulders.</p>
<p>Stats coming.</p>
