Official Columbia Class of 2021 Waitlist Thread

Hey guys! Congrats to those who got in! Would you mind updating the thread when you decide whether or not you are accepting the offer? It’ll help the rest of us on the waitlist know if there is still hope!

Pretty straightforward- that I was still interested and what I did in the last year.

Will definitely accept … tonight.

Can someone who got into SEAS post?
edit: nvm the alex dude got in

Congratulations to those who were accepted…did anyone get into Fu SEAS?

@grr2021 How do you know he got into SEAS?

Looks like Alex posted he wanted to do engineering in a previous thread. Damn. I applied SEAS and was really hoping to get in. Congrats to everyone who made it tho.

@barackhussein how do you know which thread ? Or are you just speculating?

@brownianmotion Alex posted on a Reddit thread that he was in engineering

so does this mean that waitlist acceptances after this wave’s depends on how many ppl accepted today accept/decline their offer? starting to lose hope :frowning:

@kbn2015 I also saw that he posted something about Berkeley l and s for cs so maybe he was cc ?

@brownianmotion Dude, i’m sad i didn’t get in either. He posted that he got into SEAS. Just face reality.

@grr2021 lol i just want to make sure everyone’s saying he got into seas but I just don’t see where he posted. I feel man lol is it region by region or how does this work?

@brownianmotion The reality of it is that it’s pretty arbitrary. I got waitlist at yale and princeton, and for the princeton one they didnt’ even read my LOCI. Don’t worry, life goes on.

@Yorious did u apply for financial aid?

Congratulations to everyone who got in!

@ModiModi No we didn’t apply for financial aid.

And yes, he’s definitely accepting the offer.

Congrats!

@windowmuse In my LOCI, I wrote about how I founded an economics club at my school a couple months ago and how that ties into my interest for AI. I also wrote about how i joined my school’s varsity academic league team and how I’ve grown from that. I provided some updates about what I’ve done in my school’s robotics club. I also provided some updates about what I did at my internship and how I’m applying what I learned to develop an app.
@brownianmotion I got into SEAS

Hi, my daughter is away this weekend. I haven’t gotten any word from her either way. Idk if this means she didn’t check her emails/portal, etc, or she hasn’t gotten any news. I don’t want to contact her and ruin her trip if it’s not positive news. I don’t have her passwords. Has everyone received word? Thanks!
