Official Columbia Transfer Thread Fall08

<p>It doesn't seem like we have an official Columbia thread so I decided to create one. (Sorry if there is one X_x).</p>

<p>I'm not sure if this is old news but here is an update i received from Columbia today.</p>

<p>Dear Cherryblossom,</p>

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

<p>You can receive your admission decision online. We plan to post all admissions decisions here on Thursday, May 15, 2008, after 5:00pm (Eastern Time).</p>

<p>We are also mailing admissions decisions on Thursday, May 15, 2008, so you will receive an official decision letter by mail as well.</p>

<p>Decision is coming out for sure next week!</p>

<p>thanks for the info. :)</p>

<p>Thanks CherryBlossom, i was trying to search for a columbia transfer thread, but i guess you've got that covered. </p>

<p>I can't wait!</p>

<p>Yep, got the email just a little while ago. That nervous twitch I've developed is new…</p>

<p>yup got that e-mail today too.</p>

<p>same here, we got one thread in another page. Have any of u guys tried to click the "here" in the letter? I think I have forgotten my password.....</p>

<p>I tried and the status link is not available yet..</p>

<p>yeah, it says invalid........</p>

<p>Watch out for Defrasne - he's going to be delirious that you started another Columbia transfer thread. Just sayin.</p>

<p>lol no im not</p>

<p>Yeah... I got that same e-mail... 2 more days... has anyone got accepted anywhere else yet?</p>

<p>Yeah, thankfully to Stanford.</p>

<p>That's awesome Congrats! Luckily if this doesn't work out... I got accepted to Cornell for the Fall... but ah Columbia...</p>

<p>MIT sophomore, 4.7/5.0 gpa, majoring in writing.
just got rejected from brown and am hoping for better news tomorrow!</p>

<p>Sorry bout that oldtobegin.... rejection sucks...</p>

<p>But yeah.. I'm a political science major at St. Thomas University.
GPA: 4.0/4.0
I applied as a political science and minority studies major so we'll see how that goes.
I got a Cornell GT offer last year which was approved for this fall. So if anything I'll become a Cornelian... but wow... Columbia?! Who could resist that?</p>

<p>Oh I'm a freshman too...</p>

<p>dunno, there are some downsides to columbia. i heard there is no unity in the student body at all because everyone just goes out into nyc. it can be hard for a transfer because since there is no unity, everyone has already formed their group of friends.</p>

<p>i've heard from a lot of my friends there that the columbia experience is essentially the NYC experience, so that can be good and bad.</p>

<p>This is so weird. I got swept up in the name craze and really into applying to transfer for Yale and then I was rejected yesterday....and didn't really care all that much. Columbia however is creating burning heap of panic. It's definitely the one I need to get into.</p>

<p>Whats your result sheet on all the ivies looking like, ivy transfer??</p>

<p>terrible as a matter of fact. rejected from all. still waiting on columbia and penn. funny thing is, my adcom says it's likely i'll be accepted. isn't it crazy how admissions work? i get rejected from places that take 80 kids and might be accepted to a place that takes 15 (sophomores anyway, even less juniors). how you coming along undisclosed?</p>

<p>Obscene amounts of eggs. One Basket. Columbia.</p>

<p>I've been ****ing acid for the past day. I don't think any perfect gpa, essay, rec, or achievement is going to make up for my craptacular sats (1800s).</p>

<p>So yeah...pretty bad. Though I only applied to 3 schools (and two of them were stanford/yale).</p>
