<p>I guess my initial post seems very short and wasn’t elaborated. Well, we got the decision date notification. Not sure if I want to dedicate on RD essays. Working on RD apps feels like telling myself I won’t be accepted in ED round…</p>

<p>Here’s the exact link to login. I wonder why Columbia didn’t make it easier to access.</p>
<p>anyone else not get their email yet? it’s been like an hour</p>
<p>@Sallylush… I completely agree with you! I love Columbia because of its people, its atmosphere, and its location. I’ve lived in NYC for 8 years but now I’m in OH. And I really want to go back, so I feel like Columbia is the best reason for me to move back as a student.</p>
<p>aghhh i just set a password LOOKING AT THE DECISIONS PAGE GIVES ME SO MUCH ANXIETY</p>
<p>also @HateSMUS i have the same problem. it’s great that columbia releases its ED results so early though, so if it’s bad news we’ll have time to get over the depression and finish RD’s on time!</p>
<p>does the email that you receive give you specific pin # or password information, or should i just make an account on the link posted above?</p>
<p>Also made an account for the sole purpose of this thread.</p>
<p>I got an email today from the financial aid office, but it was for a completely different thing. I have yet to get the email that everyone else is talking about</p>
<p>I have a question: if you’re rejected for Early Decision, can you reapply for Regular Decision?</p>
<p>@toma no, you can’t reapply 
you have to wait until next fall to reapply as a transfer student</p>
<p>^ @Toma… no : (, if you are deferred you will automatically be entered into the RD pool, but if you are rejected you may not resubmit for this year</p>
<p>I also have a question…</p>
<p>If we are deferred ED, can we apply ED 2 somewhere else? Seems rather self-explanatory, but I figured I’d ask anyway</p>
<p>@fifa… yep! you are released from ED once deferred</p>
<p>on the admissions page it has this link: [Admissions</a> Decisions | Columbia Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/decisions]Admissions”>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/decisions)</p>
<p>haha i might just follow it as i am impatient for my email!</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>They always email me at 1 or 3 AM after every other person, every time. If I don’t wake up to an email, I’ll be making one of those first thing tomorrow</p>
<p>Yes, it’s great that Columbia releases its ED probably the fastest among the other peer universities since it gives deferred/rejected applicants more time to prepare for RD applications. It’s little odd that some applicants haven’t received release notification email.</p>
<p>can anyone who has received the email say what it contains? anything special or just that link? </p>
<p>i dont want to like screw up the system if there are special passwords or something</p>
<p>@HateSMUS- I don’t want to start one of the other supplements until I know I can list ED 2 for the deadline, so that’s very cool for CU to give everyone more time. (Also, what does your name mean?)</p>

<p>I just searched the tag on tumblr, first thing that popped up</p>

<p>hahaha, gotta love tumblr! thanks : ) i’m not going to wait for the email now</p>
<p>do recruited athletes really make up the majority of the high ED acceptance rate?</p>
