<p>Rejected.</p>
<p>In hindsight though, as much as I loved the campus and everything...Columbia might be a better fit for Grad school than Undergrad, so I'm kind of glad I wasn't even deferred.</p>
<p>wwkkim, i'm not saying your stats are poor or anything. in fact, many people would still love to have scores like yours. columbia, however, receives applicants with scores a lot higher than yours, so i was just wondering what was so special about your application that made them approve it. (this may be coming out not so nice..sorry, not my intention here :]]) for future applicants, i think it would be helpful if you posted more info. thanks</p>
<p>hmm lots of koreans getting accepted...</p>
<p>GOOD JOB EVERYONE!</p>
<p>not to worry -- the acceptance e-mail does NOT mention SEAS</p>
<p>deferred - seas</p>

<p>jsklo you are Jeremy Sklaroff?? lol i am glad you aren't the one some people are bashing on the princeton forum. congratulations on getting into columbia!</p>
<p>gulag, I really don't know much about the regional studies programs, but if you haven't yet found your way to the online bulletin, here's the address:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.college.columbia.edu/bulletin/%5B/url%5D">http://www.college.columbia.edu/bulletin/</a></p>
<p>It'll tell you the requirements for each major/program and the kinds of classes that are offered this year, and they'll have the links to the web sites of the different departments.</p>
<p>can someone post the content of the acceptance email?</p>
<p>jesus christ- i barely come to the columbia forum now that i'm in college (visit CollegeCon only for internships section), but stopped by today since it was ED time</p>
<p>as a CC sophomore, i can say that these stats are soo competitive that i doubt i would've gotten in 2 years ago =)</p>
<p>congrats all!</p>

<p>/i'm such a jackass</p>

<p>sweet! :) . .</p>
<p>Congratulations on all who were admitted! Sadly, I won't be seeing any of you on Morningside Heights, as I'll be off to one Cambridge or another...</p>
<p>For those who got in- Spectator has a poll for you:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.columbiaspectator.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.columbiaspectator.com/</a></p>
<p>Congrats everyone who got in! I am soooo happy.... Have a great break and spring semester and I hope to meet you all in Columbia next year.</p>
<p>Did people get their packages?</p>
<p>I was just thinking about that. No, I haven't gotten mine. I live in MA, if that makes any difference.</p>
<p>Just got mine (i live literally 10 minutes from Columbia tho...)</p>
<p>In it includes:</p>
<p>The same letter
A Columbia College publication (alum stuff i think)
A financial aid letter (telling me they dont have info lol) -_-;
OH AND...</p>
<p>A FREE BUMPER STICKER THINGYMABOB. It cost exactly $2.48. Better than nothing i guess...-_-;</p>
<p>don't bother buying t-shirts from the CU bookstore, they're too expensive. Go to Steve and Barry's in the Manhattan Mall (34th and 7th?) where you can buy them for 8 bucks each.</p>
<p>Wow, I had no idea anyone sold Columbia merchandise in New York outside of M Heights...good to hear (we do need to keep up with all those Harvard/MIT shirt carts all over Boston somehow).</p>
<p>For the record, the Manhattan Mall is in Herald Square (where 34th, Broadway, and Sixth Ave. meet).</p>
