<p>My wife and I both applied EA at GS along with applications to UChicago and Stanford. I’m looking at a Physics major along with some strong mathematics courses.</p>
<p>That’s cool, Amstem. You certainly wouldn’t be the first married couple here.</p>
<p>Another interesting Columbia phenomenon: twins. I’ve met no less than three sets of twins during my time in Morninside. Two sets were varsity athletes, too.</p>
<p>I applied for early action for this fall. Took the GSAE on couple weeks ago. Looking to major in Econ/Math</p>
<p>Did anyone else apply early action for fall '11? (besides lizfromhollywood, baxter2211, and myself). </p>
<p>GSAE in ten days! I can’t wait!</p>
<p>I have all of my materials in, I wonder when I can expect a decision for Early Action.</p>
<p>Applied EA for Fall 2011 here. 
Not feeling quite as confident about getting in as I was before submitting the application, lol</p>
<p>@baxter2211: Site says typically 4-6 weeks, although I have heard of rare cases of sooner or much, much later. (One going all the way out to late June)</p>
<p>Well I am hoping that they give it earlier, the wait is killing me</p>
<p>The past two springs people have heard as early as April 1. You can probably search this board to check dates from last year and do your own speculating.</p>

<p>What schools are you guys currently attending?</p>
<p>Los Angeles City College</p>
<p>Just up the 2 fwy from Liz! I’m at Glendale Community College.</p>
<p>lol i took Biology at GCC in 2008.</p>
<p>I’ve applied ED and I am so sick of waiting. At this point I just want to KNOW one way or the other. I have been stressing out and obsessing about GS for so many months now! </p>
<p>Currently I attend Washington University in St. Louis part-time, after I dropped out of Grinnell College a few years ago. I am unsatisfied with Washu’s program for “non-traditional” students and I’m ready to go back to school head on. I can’t wait until the decisions start coming back. It’s unbearable, right?</p>
<p>Pending an acceptance response IS unbearable, to say the least. Its like of a poignant-mental-anxiety that cant be cured or satiated by any pill! -The only cure is a GS acceptance letter . ok, back to the forum…I applied ED for the Fall- wanted to do Financial Economics (But I might just do economics, since FE is only a BA not B.S …grrr!! )</p>
<p>Invict I thought economics is also a BA</p>
<p>@ phillyman… you are right - its always been BA :)</p>
<p>What is the difference between bachelor of arts and bachelor of science?</p>
<p>I don’t understand why one might say “just a BA.”?</p>
<p>From what I understand, Bachelor of Science degrees are usually granted after a much more focused course of study. Bachelor of Arts programs generally follow a more traditional liberal arts curriculum, and the student is expected to study a variety of subjects. Foe example, a B.S. would require 40 credits in their major, while a B.A. would require 30 credits.</p>
