<p>are we making a new thread?</p>
<p>@Corrinder- I don’t think so, but I’m very sure that come 5 o clock, it might as well be a completely different thread</p>
<p>Just made this thread for results only:</p>

<p>I just hate this whole process. Aside from working twice as hard to get into the school of my dreams, I have teachers spreading the word on where I applied, placing double the pressure on me. Chances are I am getting rejected (or deferred, which I would be fine with), so teachers need to get off my back because I am becoming EXTREMELY aggravated!</p>
<p>WHY CAN’T TEACHERS EVER KEEP THINGS TO THEMSELVES!?!</p>
<p>Does anyone else feel the same way, or am I the crazy dude letting out his anger toward you guys?</p>
<p>lol atleast you’re teachers have a lot of faith in you. Most of my teachers either think I’m average or just a dumbass since I tend to be quiet. Even if you dont get in, clearly your teachers and other people think you’re pretty smart, which is something. But I get what you mean. If rejected, it would be a little embarrassing to say you didn’t get in when everyone knows you’ve applied</p>
<p>lol exactly! i don’t want to look like the dumbass who got rejected (not that I expect to be accepted or anything), but I take this crap personal, which is why I keep it (or try to) private.</p>
<p>Message from parent of a Columbia University freshman from Class of 2016 ED.
I can understand how difficult waiting for decisions to be posted has been. This time last year my child was feeling exactly the same anxiety that you are all experiencing. At 4:55 we turned on the computer and waited for the clock to turn to 5:00. While holding my hand, checking if the dream turned to reality was a moment I will never forget. As soon has the screen popped up and the song played and my hand went numb (it was being squeezed so tightly) we knew this dream did come true.</p>
<p>For those who wondered if an interview meant if you were accepted or not. My child never had an interview. </p>
<p>Good luck to all
Any questions please feel free to ask.</p>
<p>I’m going to turn my volume up and click to see the decision. If the song’s played, I’ll scream but if not, I’ll slowly open my eyes to check what’s on the screen.</p>
<p>@HateSMUS I don’t know whether to do that or to just mute everything and read</p>
<p>Haha I’m just doing it for my own mental safety. If the music is played - definitely in. If the music is not played - either deferred/rejected OR the acceptance notification style has been changed to be without music. Final struggle to grasp the last hope. lol</p>
<p>oh my god… i am shaking</p>
<p>I might just have to check mine from my ipod</p>
<p>The decision is released at 2 PM in my time zone. Since my class ends at 2:25, I’m going to log on to this thread and check out the general results, then open my decision with either more hopeful or more pessimistic prediction.</p>
<p>Less than two hours. In less than two hours, we will find out the decision of the admissions officers, significantly affecting our futures.</p>
<p>lol i might be the only one here who hopes to get a deferral two hours later. i think i made a bad decision when i ed and now i start to regret…</p>
<p>So much of my school friends are asking whether I got the result back… I’ll be very embarrassed if rejected because of such high expectation.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, man. It might be embarrassing if you get rejected, but remember that it might be better for you. There are countless other opportunities too.</p>
<p>Well said colum2017</p>
<p>Chamber orchestra rehearsal got cancelled. I’m checking at 5 now. GULP. Good luck everyone <3</p>
<p>protip: watch 2 episodes of breaking bad to kill the next 80 minutes.</p>
