Fall 2009 Columbia Transfers

<p>@southerncal</p>

<p>yes, yes u did</p>

<p>decisions are coming tomorrow evening.</p>

<p>good luck everyone</p>

<p>tomorrow?? who told you that?</p>

<p>Who told you!???</p>

<p>The email I received said decisions would be released by the 15th but i am so tired of waiting, i just want to get this over with quickly. I so want to be accepted. wouldn’t hurt to know where you got your information from though, don’t panic guys what will be would be. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. they’ve probably made the decisions anyway. Goodluck guys</p>

<p>when did you hear tomorrow “tiredof” ? i called admissions last week and again on tuesday - both times they did indeed tell me decisions came out tomorrow. however, i called this morning to confirm the 8th and they informed me “on or before may 15” and that because their freshman yield was higher than expected it is taking longer than was originally anticipated to figure out transfer admissions. My guess is that they were hoping to release this week but have changed the target date… hope I’m wrong though! So I’m curious as to WHEN you heard it was tomorrow? :-)</p>

<p>haha ok everyone stay calm.</p>

<p>I heard it was tomorrow today (May 7th) from one of the people on the admissions board due to a particular predicament I am in in terms of timing and choosing a school. It was unofficial, but seemed sincere.</p>

<p>so from what skjoka90 is saying decisions could be released any moment from now- now meaning tomorrow and next week. I just dont want to be waitlisted. Now this is scary, sometimes I want to get my decision immediately, other times I am afraid of rejection and wish it would go on longer. Anyway, if anyone gets their decision pls post it on here so others can know that decisions have been released</p>

<p>I am unbelievably worried - Columbia is like a dream, but I honestly have no idea what it takes to get in. I hope they see something in me…</p>

<p>Praying like a madman, right?</p>

<p>Wow, that’d be awesome if they came out tomorrow! I just got my Chicago admission today :smiley: If I find out that I got into Columbia tomorrow, I might just explode… too much excitement in a short span of time!</p>

<p>Can anyone give me some numbers. How many people applied last year for transfer and how many were accepted? Are the numbers expected to be similar this year?</p>

<p>6% acceptance rate. That’s 6 out of each 100 people.</p>

<p>I believe the totals were 100 out of roughly 1200-1400 candidates?</p>

<p>salomeya congrats! chicago is an amazing school. if you can get in there, columbia should be a sure thing, no?</p>

<p>CONGRATS SALOMEYA! I just got into UChicago as well! =] I am so excited!</p>

<p>wow, cool you guys have nice options</p>

<p>I think I’m immune to the whiplash of rejections and acceptances this entire week, it would be oh so nice to have Columbia’s decision by tomorrow night.</p>

<p>If I got the big package from Columbia…
I would literally take off my pants and just lie in bed with the acceptance letter</p>

<p>hahahahaha!!</p>

<p>okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…</p>

<p>u should have totally put that in your essay LOL!</p>

<p>Thanks guys! I think that if I got into Columbia, I’d have to choose whichever one gave me a more generous financial aid offer… money is a huge deciding factor for me.</p>
