Columbia University RD Class of 2024

Very accurate representation of how I’m feeling right now lol. Good luck!

does anyone still have the financial aid documents and messages on their finaid portal? its no longer showing up for me

Nope, they’ve been gone since March 3rd.

I took the ACT with writing and got a 31 (pretty decent in my book) because I took the SAT and only got a 1280 (1310 superscored). I also took the SAT subject tests because some of my schools required them or strongly recommended them, but I didn’t do too well (540 on lit and 600 on math). I sent them to the schools who required them obviously, but I also sent them to every school I applied to because I figured it would look good that I took them at all even if I didn’t get a highish score. Was that a mistake? At the time of applying I thought that showing the schools that I took the tests at all would be better but now I’m having second thoughts. Obviously I can’t do anything at this point but I just wanted to know what you guys thought about it.

@sassycassie5896 Let bygones be bygones. Don’t think too much about something that is beyond your control now. You’ll just stress yourself out!

Yeah, don’t worry about it at all. You’ll have all your decisions in 3 days time, and it’s pointless to think about what could’ve been. Good luck!

@sassycassie5896 you have posted this exact message on every top school’s forum (all Ivies, Stanford etc.). Don’t do this. You get nothing out of it – just wait 2 days and it will all be clear. good luck.

An interview this late may signify that your friend is on the brink. Good luck to her!

One more day good luck y’all

Do any of you know what percentage of deferred applicants get in?

Historically Columbia doesn’t defer as many students from ED as other peer schools, so there’s no reason not to be hopeful! In other words, it’s usually “you’re a strong candidate but we need a little more time or info,” not a polite rejection like it is from some colleges.

I have started a thread for Ivy Day decisions (no stats)…

Hahaha, I’m ready to post “rejected everywhere” lmao

If anyone is super anxious, I suggest looking over your application and seeing how good it is! You took your best shot and everything will work out and you will end up where you are supposed to be : )

Someone said they already got accepted… Has anyone received decision already?

No

CONGRATS!

I still dont have anything. Probably rejected.

@omwtostanford thank you for lightening the mood lol

anyone waitlisted?
