<p>It was a small envelope - not a good sign.
I was shaking when I opened it and it was a copy of the financial aid email they sent me last week.
I thought it was a rejection letter. My heart like stopped.</p>
<p>scary!!!</p>
<p>Ahhh you scared me for a second there >.<</p>
<p>Its dated from November 30th. lol.
ah i was literally about to pour my eyes out lmao.</p>
<p>lol same here. Only I was spared the shock because my mom came home before me and opened the letter. But when she told me, she said, “so you got mail from Columbia-” and my heart skipped a beat because I thought it was admissions… until she said “they told you that you still didn’t send the tax returns.”
XDDDD
Oh, D-day anxiety…</p>
<p>^ i had the same situation. she scared the hell out of me!
I literally can’t sleep because the thought of D-Day won’t sleep my mind D;</p>
<p>My dad forewarned me about it before I saw the mail - he was like, “You got something from Columbia. THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE.” He made sure I knew what was up before I even had time to think it was a decision, which is good because otherwise I would’ve freaked.</p>
<p>wow. i just got the mail…that was a scary experience.</p>
<p>Yep. Did the same thing. I saw the thin envelope, checked where it came from, and freaked out anyways :-/</p>
<p>I just had the same thing happen to me. I was scared to open it, but relieved when I saw it was a copy of the things they emailed me last week</p>
<p>But . . . it’s only the 7th 
Assuming the letter was mailed a few days ago, wouldn’t that be enough to conclude that it wasn’t a decision? Or maybe I’m totally off here :P</p>
<p>I think the effect of seeing a thin letter outweighs the logic side of it; like, I looked very closely to make sure it wasn’t from the Admission department, but my heart was racing anyways.</p>
<p>I got mail the other day from Columbia too. Like actual PAPER mail, which is crazy because I live on the other side of the ocean. But it was just “our columbia”…I mean…huh, it would have been useful 3 months ago…</p>
<p>I got the mail today! Except my nosy mother and sister decided to open it for me because they assumed it was my admissions decision. lol What were they going to do if I was rejected? Burn it?</p>
<p>Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one that freaked out over the small envelope from the financial aid office… But do you guys know if there’s any correlation between the office of Financial Aid wanting me to send in all the forms and me being actually admitted? I’ve been reading into the first email I got soo much…but Columbia admissions is need blind, so I’m just incredibly confused. I guess all my questions will be answered tomorrow…</p>
<p>^ Check the other fin aid/ ed threads and you would see we were all freaking out lol</p>
