<p>My sister just got her admissions decision today, and she was waitlisted. Is this basically a death sentence? What should she do to convince Columbia that she wants to go, and is it even worth it considering the small volume of waitlistees admitted?</p>
<p>so early of a date...she must be a transfer student right?</p>
<p>Transfer apps aren't due until the 15th. I'm not sure how his sister got such an early decision.</p>
<p>Must be talking about the wrong school?</p>
<p>My friend's sister got into the grad school last week, could this be what they are talking about? Do they wait list grad schools?</p>
<p>no, she's a standard high school senior right now and applied as a freshman applicant. she just got it in the mail yesterday. is it really that early?</p>
<p>and any feedback?</p>
<p>That's weird that she already heard. About 50 waitlisted kids are admitted each year. Although, last year only 6 were and given the size of this applicant pool...who knows.</p>
<p>but isn't she a recruited athlete? (checked your previous posts)</p>
<p>maybe that has something to do with the early announcement....</p>
<p>whoa! so early....</p>
<p>Don't mean to sound rude, but are you sure you are talking about Columbia in New York City? There is a Columbia College in SC and one in Chicago.</p>
<p>nope. im certain its the columbia university (new york city, ivy league, etc). shes a smart girl. any tips?</p>
<p>I thought Columbia doesn't notify applicants this early.</p>
<p>Columbia (as part of the Ivy League) CANT notify applicants this early.</p>
<p>already got the decision?!
that's pretty weird</p>
<p>yeah, thats mad early!</p>
<p>The only logical explanation is that she got a likely letter. A likely letter that says that she is likely to be waitlisted. That makes no sense.</p>
<p>I hear a troll in the forest.......</p>
<p>yeah im sorry this is bogus. you're lying or you're very confused.</p>
<p>You are likely to be waitlisted. That would be a crazy twist.</p>
<p>if you were truely waitlisted... then, well, good luck... I really wouldn't know what to do... :( I heard it might be a good idea to somehow find your placement on the waitlist first and see if it's worth the effort... BUT
If you were trying to raise my blood pressure by a few more mmHg, GREAT JOB, you did :D</p>
