<p>Hey guys - </p>
<p>For those of us who were deferred during early decision, this has been quite a brutal experience. The wait has been tiresome. The uncertainty, stressful.</p>
<p>Finally, though, we are just one week away from knowing what fate we have with or without Columbia.</p>
<p>Post if you were a deferral.</p>
<p>---Keep this thread active so we can post results---</p>
<p>everyone knows we’re the best.
deferred people represent.
tonight, my rhymes really blow.
but i’d rather spit than do hw fo sho.</p>
<p>i’m supposed to be reading love in the time of cholera.
but i’m just sparknoting it. AH!</p>
<p>I was deferred
Yogurt is made from curd
The admissions office is a turd
To other colleges will I be lured
But if accepted I will not be deterred
and if rejected I will flip Columbia the bird
Yes I know I am a nerd
But isn’t it absurd
that this has even occured
Because early decision I would have preferred
But instead I was deferred</p>

<p>damn im “scurred”.</p>
<p>J-k, let me stop lol</p>
<p>I remember you guys from the ED threads!</p>
<p>And I remember how all of us ED kids made raps / poems / sonnets on here, like yall just did haha…</p>
<p>i don’t anything in school anymore.</p>
<p>i alternate between here, movies, sufu, and friends on weekdays and do hw in homeroom.</p>
<p>my grades are going to hell :/</p>
<p>Oh Columbia don’t you know you’re the one?
Why can’t you just accept me you son of gun?
But I cannot deny that I will be your love’s fool
Even if Mario Lopez is a tool
Wow I really need to get a life
To distract me from this everlasting strife
I must depart to do my work
Yet in my dreams you will always lurk</p>
<p>I’ve managed to avoid this place since December/the ED/EA madness. I promised myself I wouldn’t come here before March 31st. Epicfail on that one, hah.</p>
<p>I can’t WAIT until March 31st!!! I’m really glad Columbia gave a definite time, unlike Yale who’s all “we’re too cool for school so you guys can have fun frantically refreshing your pages that won’t actually refresh because our servers will probably crash from the 34372 billion applicants logging in simultaneously”.</p>
<p>I applied to 5 Ivies so I don’t know which one to check first, haha. I might go in alphabetical order? I might take USNAWR and work my way from the bottom up? LoL. Columbia first? Columbia last? In the middle? If so, where in the middle? Obviously before Yale and Brown, but…? You guys having this issue?</p>
<p>Also, I’ve completely given up in school. No more doing work, no more studying, no more caring…except now I care. Well I want to care, especially if I get waitlisted, but just can’t bring myself to. LoL. </p>
<p>Sorry to break the rapping trend guys haha but I’m more of an alterna-indie-rock girl lol. (Speaking of which, I think it’s pretty amazing that Vampire Weekend originated at Columbia. Can we have another music geek-out?)</p>
<p>Good luck y’all!</p>
<p>Wow! Spazzity, it’s been so long! haha</p>
<p>I submitted my application part 1 on September 1st 2008, I don’t even know what I’m going to do if I get wait listed, making my admissions process to Columbia a 9 month process…</p>
<p>Good luck to all ED defer-ees, WE DESERVE IT</p>
<p>I’m an EDer too! I agree we should all get in! I was accepted into Barnard, so at least if I don’t get into Columbia I’ll be awfully close!</p>
<p>Also deferred ED. I am DYING. Sixteen hours, seven minutes until my dream is dashed… It’s whatever. At least I got into Barnard.</p>
<p>there should be a boys’ barnard too for us male deferred columbia applicants</p>
<p>I ditto that completely. At least we could be in close proximity to the magnificence. And in NYC. I don’t have any level of attraction for the other NYC schools.</p>
<p>I’m getting nervous. I’m remembering the harsh reality that only about 10% of deferred students are accepted. Poo.</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll get waitlisted?</p>
<p>^ ditto, unless I wan into the performing arts (Julliard, etc.) Columbia’s the only NYC school I’d wanna go to I think…I was defereed and did the Barnard thing 
Got in and my only thought was - “I’m that much closer to Columbia!..” I think I would feel that way at any other City school besides Columbia - like I was missing out juuuuuuuust a little bit :P</p>
<p>C’mon my fellow deferred EDers! HAVE FAITH!!</p>
<p>I miss you guys from back in November/December!!!</p>
<p>It is sad, but I’m not too hurt, because I know I have good options still!</p>
<p>Cornell and Northwestern.
Gosh, time to abuse the fact that they list their phone numbers. I am going to talk with the deans of communication from both schools until their ears fall off.</p>
