Congrats!!
Thank you! Please, don’t panic! I know that it’s not easy, but today is only 28th of April so there is no reason to worry.
omgomgomogmgomgomgogmgo I received an email an hour ago…(I fell asleep checking) and I GOT IN! I cant believe it,is this real life?
Oh my god! Yes!
Do they send emails out over the weekend?
Oldladystudent Of course
I hate to keep doing this, but according to my stats do I even stand a chance? Maybe I should have asked this earlier…
You do have a chance!
They’ve just started to send the emails. You have to calm down:)
I know I know I know. Breathe
I do understand how you feel. And I know that it’s not that easy to calm down, but just be realistic- they’ve just started this process and you have all the chances!
And ,in my opinion,don’t check this site too often. you already know what you need to know so the updates here will only give you more anxiety.
@oldladystudent seriously dont fuss about it. Majority of people find out on may 1st, and the worst case scenario, they will probably ask for an interview or put you into the regular decision pool. I will pray for you!
I got in! OMG. The space available left is narrowing by the seconds. If you haven’t been accepted yet be prepared for the worst! 
@ezdizzyweezy thanks, that actually means a lot.
Hey guys I just got ACCEPTED to Columbia. I cried after I checked my acceptance letter. I promise you, low gpa and other test scores are not a big factor! Trust me guys hang in there, if I am able to get in everyone has a chance!!!
If anyone is curious about my stats inbox me. Also, does anyone know about APL exam? I do not know how to prepare myself…
Guys. Believe and you will get in. Trust yourself!
Hey Congrats man! Why do I not get notification from CC that somebody has replied to my post lol… Anyway, ALP is American Language Program and I think all international students must appear before starting classes. It’s a written exam and from what I’ve heard it’s mostly an essay on a random topic. More like an ‘extempore writing’. Btw, How do you plan to pay for GS?
@oldladystudent hang in there, you should be fine. Probably, they hand out the international acceptances before because we need to apply for visa and arrange all sorts of finances and then home students. It also depends on if you applied later than March 1. But, I wish you all the best and hope to see you at the orientation, if all things are well!
@Rogercharlie1 thanks. Are most you international students?
@oldladystudent I don’t think most… couple of us, yes!
I am not an international student! Tomorrow is the big day! Good luck you guys. I applied to five schools (Baruch, St.Johns, NYU, University of Illinois, and obviously Columbia) and Columbia is the only school that accepted me, which shows how awesomely holistic they view the application. So try not to worry too much if your essay was really solid( I believe my essay did it for me)
An an editor for the New York Times edited my essay, so hopefully that will mean something. Still concerned, but thanks.
