<p>Just called up. The dude said that decisions will be made in 2 weeks or more. I was like wtf? So its not gonna be 10th! Most probably 15th or the same week. So calm urselves for another 14 days or so!</p>
<p>Ugh! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<hr>
<p>I don't feel better, so</p>
<hr>
<p>good old censor...</p>
<p>WhAt?? no way...this means that...
a) they have even LESS staff than before</p>
<p>or worse...</p>
<p>b) sharp increase in # of applicants?!</p>
<p>this is miserable news...</p>
<p>what has history shown about what they do to the bearer of bad news? (jk arsalan )</p>
<p>Harvard's is also backed up to the 14th.</p>
<p>No way...</p>
<p>NOOOOOOO!!!!</p>
<p>Did you ask if that was when the decisions will be mailed? Or what? How did he phrase it?</p>
<p>WHAT!!?? I have an e-mail from them that specifically says that they'll be sent BY December 10!!!!!!!! I don't get it!</p>
<p>Thats unimpossible...</p>
<p>I think the guy was just being vague... it's prolly coming on dec10 as angelnikki's email said. I'd rather go with the more specific proof.</p>
<p>boooo this sucks</p>
<p>I just called them right now and the guy told me "somewhere next week"</p>
<p>So it could be as late as sunday or as normal as wednesday.</p>
<p>There, everybody calm down or call them. 212-854-2522</p>
<p>Did he seriously say "somewhere next week"?</p>
<p>do a lotta acceptees come from md?</p>
<p>"Did he seriously say "somewhere next week"?</p>
<p>Hey, I mean, if you are worried (like I was) about the credibility of someone else (no offense arsalan) telling you important things like this, you should really call them up.</p>
<p>I can't even imagine who else would call them at this time of the month.. =)</p>
<p>This is ridiculous...I just called as well and I asked specifically if they would be available by Dec. 10. He asked where i got that date and I told him it was e-mailed to me. Then he told me that they COULD come out Dec. 10 but Columbia isn't commiting itself to a date. I asked when I should call back for more information and he said next week...</p>
<p>Why are we all getting different information??</p>
<p>I am talking about his use of the word 'somewhere' instead of 'sometime,' because a Columbia admissions rep saying "'somewhere' next week" is hilarious, IMO.</p>
<p>cuz no one knows for sure so they make something up..they set like an approximate date but no one really knows how long itll take</p>
<p>The people who answer the phones aren't Columbia representatives as far as I know...they're just data entry-type employees who don't make decisions.</p>
<p>What I don't get is why Delfire and I could call at roughly the same time on the same day and get two totally different answers!</p>
<p>r the ppl at the fones the ppl who read our apps?</p>
<p>Lets hope not.</p>
