<p>As I live in New York I was hoping I would get the acceptance package yesterday, Saturday, but no luck. I guess they mailed them late in the day on Friday. I am really hopeful it comes on Monday as I want to see the information related to transfer credits and especially FA. I’ll let you know when I receive it, and others should do the same so that people in various areas will have an idea of when to expect it. I hope it comes soon as the reply date is June 1st. Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.</p>
<p>^Did anyone receive the package yet?</p>
<p>I live in Canada and received it this morning 
I opened the door when the DHL employee was already leaving and I yelled after him realizing what package he probably had :P</p>
<p>Did you have to sign for it? I also hope the contents made you happy! :+D</p>
<p>Yeah I did - so not used to snail mail, it was really exciting Yeah all my credits transferred so that was good. I’m hoping I can petition for Global Core credit…
Did you get yours ?</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten my packet yet ! -_-. I really hope they didn’t send it to my school address; I just got a packet from Penn in the mail today at home, so hopefully they’re all just sending it here.</p>
<p>I haven’t been home yet. I hope they sent it by regular mail in the US as I wasn’t home to sign for anything! I will let you know later. I don’t mean to pry, but did you apply for financial aid?</p>
<p>Oh I haven’t received Penn’s yet !! Ah.
No FA. I’m just always scared it’s hard to be 100% need blind ):</p>
<p>Has anyone else received their package? I’m worried they might have sent it to my college address…which no longer works haha.</p>
<p>Anyone know how long the waitlist is supposed to be and if there’s any chance of us getting off it?</p>
<p>Accepted :). Got rejected from Penn earlier, so this was certainly a pleasant surprise!</p>
<p>me too starlight2010!!</p>
<p>has anyone got his/her transfer credit evaluation?</p>
<p>yes, it was in the acceptance packet</p>
<p>Did anyone get a second packet from Columbia in the mail ?? I missed a package from the same courier service today but I have no idea what it is. I have to wait until Monday before they come back… the suspense is not fun ):</p>
<p>ldh, I got a letter from the head of transfer admissions but it certainly wasn’t a package. Can we talk about the big, important things now – HOUSING. Where do you all think you’ll live, and why are you leaning toward that particular hall?</p>
<p>If you dont mind, what was the letter for ?
Housing… single in Furnald sounds good… but I doubt there would be any left ): there are so many options !
What are you thinking ?</p>
<p>Hey ldh, I was a bit confused at first as the letter seemed fairly generic, but after I read more I realized it was basically the dean saying that he’d read through my file, really liked me and advocated strongly on my behalf. He said he thinks “[I am] an amazing match for Columbia,” and that I would benefit greatly from both the school and living in New York. It was nice.
I agree that Furnald seems very nice, but I’d also be ok with most of the other dorms…I’d like to be on campus, though. I wish there were some way to see what housing is left available. On the housing page I know it said something about them liking to put transfers together, so I’m guessing there’s a fair chance we’ll end up in the same place; I just hope it’s a good place, haha.</p>
<p>Congrats to all who got in!</p>
