<p>congratz to all you guys! sorry to those who got deferred. It is scary to think I may have been one of you guys getting the letter today. Columbia was my ED until about August!!!!</p>

<p>Congratz again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)</p>

<p>sorry -- that was admitted to SEAS. The other title was the default, which I forgot to change. My bad.</p>

<p>Note to everyone: I went to University of Michigan, after being rejected everywhere else. And I never looked back. Had a great time, and then went to Harvard law. Moral of the story -- you can be happy whereever you go!</p>

<p>Hey guys, I'm from the Yale thread, and I wanted to say congrats to all who got in! That is sooo awesome. </p>

<p>If you were deferred or rejected, I know this has been said a hundred times, but don't lose hope, you will definitely end up where you're supposed to be. By this time next year you're going to be somewhere and loving it, so keep your head up...I'm sure it's really hard right now though.</p>

<p>Congrats to all of those accepted! Just checking in to see on behalf of my best friend who lives and breathes Columbia--wanted to see how close her stats are with those accepted. Cheers!</p>

<p>hah I'm already so nervous for when I apply in the RD round!
Congrats everyone!</p>

<p>lol for hopeful89, i go to the biggest specialized high school in nyc. (i think it's the fifth largest school in the nation or something) you can figure it out lol.</p>

<p>i know three people who applied and all are chinese
my friend (one of them) got rejected
the other two: a boy and a girl got accepted (the girl has a sister there now)</p>

<p>english class w/all three tomorrow will be akward</p>

<p>deferred.
goddamnit.</p>

<p>Wow this thread is such an emotional roller coaster! Congrats/my apologies to everyone here from the Yale forum (I get excited just belonging to the forum... forget the school!!) I think the rest of the ivy league applicants all empathize with you deferred/rejected folks. I really wish you all the best of luck RD!!!</p>
