<p>Dear collegebound_91,</p>

<p>Thank you for your application to Columbia University. We are nearing the end of our application review and will soon notify candidates of our decisions.</p>

<p>The Columbia community is committed to environmental responsibility; in keeping with this commitment, we will provide some admissions decisions only online, not via regular mail. You may request that a copy of your decision letter be mailed to you after you receive it online; further instructions will be available when you check your decision. We plan to post all decisions on Tuesday, March 31, 2009, after 5:00pm (Eastern Time). Please click here to receive your decision.</p>

<p>If you applied online, to view your decision you will need both the PIN and password you created when you submitted your application. Your PIN appears at the top of this e-mail. If you have lost or forgotten your password, click here to receive your password via e-mail.</p>

<p>If you submitted a paper application, a PIN created for you appears at the top of this e-mail. To receive your password, please click on the "Forgot your PIN or Password?" button here. You will then be able to use this PIN and password to check your decision online.</p>

<p>If you would like to withdraw from consideration entirely, please inform us of your decision by replying to this e-mail at <a href="mailto:ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu">ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu</a>. Be sure that your full name and Columbia Application ID appear in the response. </p>

<p>If you have questions, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 212-854-2522 or <a href="mailto:ugrad-ask@columbia.edu">ugrad-ask@columbia.edu</a>.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

Dean of Undergraduate Admissions</p>

<p>It is really sinking in that decisions are 8 days away!!!</p>

2

<p>I guess they are doing like Stanford and only sending rejection emails and not letters. I guess its a good way to save paper!</p>

3

<p>****! Looks like I'm rejected as well, then. >.<</p>

4

<p>aughhhhhh sounds too rejectionlike for me...</p>

5

<p>^ why only "some" decisions? and not "all "decisions??</p>

6

<p>how do you guys know if ur rejected?? I dun get it</p>

7

<p>^"we will provide some admissions decisions only online, not via regular mail"</p>

8

<p>so the only accepted ppl got the above email??? that cant be...c'mon..that might as well b their decisions then...why wait till 31st</p>

9

<p>MIT had results online, and then only sent the admitted letters because it came with the huge packet...
So that's probably why..</p>

<p>@ mizzyluv
Maybe check your spam? My email used to send all of my important mail to spam... That irritated me, oh so much</p>

11

<p>I mean think about this... Columbia saves a LOT of money by mailing only acceptance letters.... MONEY that can be used to provide US with scholarships!</p>

12

<p>I think I'm gonna request a letter even if I'm rejected so that I can put it under my pillow and cry myself to sleep every night. hahah jk jk.</p>

13

<p>so ALL of those admitted already recieved their letter...is it??</p>

14

<p>"Some" could mean that those people who did not apply online and don't have access to internet connection. Don't read too much into it otherwise you will freak out.</p>

15

<p>@ mizzyluv
I don't think so, calm down missy!
Lol.</p>

16

<p>anyone NOT have this e-mail who applied?</p>

17

<p>I got this too, I'm hoping it was just a mass email, and not an "unlikely" email in a very backhanded way :p</p>

18

<p>^ no it's the opposite those who get that email are rejected and those who don't are accepted!!... because they are green, and of course less people to notified by snail mail ... and more people rejected to notified by e-mail(less paper).... anyways i don't think this is true! it's just people speculating.. like always on CC!!
btw those who received that email what is the first letter of your name??? maybe it's by alphabetical order..</p>

19

<p>you are reading too much in it... this e-mail is just a mass one, so relax dudes ;) :)</p>

20

<p>i didn't received one... yet! i don't know what to think?? did everybody received one already?? or maybe they gonna send those e-mails during the week... so maybe not today but tomorrow i gonna received one too! who knows?</p>
