<p>Throw a huge party at my house. I’ve already confirmed with all my friends.</p>
<p>^ Ditto.</p>
<p>If I get in it’ll be a miracle. A Christmastime Miracle~ I asked them to change my application pool so I figure I shot myself in the foot with that one :\ But it can happen. </p>
<p>Oh well. Here’s to the best :D</p>
<p>I’d be sooo content with a deferral 
I’m an ORM (indian) so my chances are pretty slim haha the only advantage I have is I’m going for Journalism and not anything remotely engineering/pre-med so I guess I’m sorta different in that respect…? but thats not really even an advantage lol.
It’s my birthday and what am I doing? Trolling on college confidential and studying. No sleep for me tonight :D</p>
<p>lol happy birthday! If I were you, I wouldn’t be ‘so’ content with a deferral. It means you’ve spent ED advantage in a vain. I’m Korean (ORM as well?) but I would be at least somewhat disappointed at deferral. If rejection, then… Idk what I’ll do haha</p>
<p>If accepted, I’d be surprised but very relieved. This probably sounds weird, but I’d want to get a Columbia sweatshirt as soon as possible, lol. Getting deferred would be somewhat disappointing. On one hand, I have to wait 3-4 more months, and probably be discouraged that I didn’t get accepted the first time. On the other hand, however, it gives me a little more hope. Finally, if I get rejected, I’ll be in a period of ultimate sadness for about a day, get over it, and force myself to be satisfied with UConn.</p>
<p>I think my interview went well. It was pretty much the standard describe yourself, what you do, what you like about Columbia, etc. she said I did fantastically so I hope that’s a good sign.
But I am expecting a rejection either way.</p>
<p>if i get accepted, i’ll first run around the house like a madman. then take the car, drive down to new york city and get my hands on a columbia sweatshirt. then maybe i’ll throw a giant party after december 15th.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> one can dream.</p>
<p>have you guys got an email on how to check the decision results yet??</p>
<p>Im expecting rejection:( I just don’t see how I can get in with all of these amazing students applying. I just hope that I and everyone here will end up where they should be by the end of this whole college process. Good Luck to all!!</p>
<p>Actually, I have one more question that I’m pretty sure no one knows the answer to but I’m going to ask just in case there is one person who does… How many students applied early decision to Columbia this past year? I know that some schools have began releasing the data, but I’m not sure about Columbia. If anyone knows, please let me know! thanks</p>
<p>

<p>You should not compare yourself to those that participate and post their stats and ECs here. I would guess that you are seeing a sample of < 1% of all applicants on CC. </p>
<p>Those that post on CC are most likely skewed toward the “eager beavers” that are really tuned into the whole college process. I suspect the non CC applicant pool is quite different and not as over the top crazy qualified.</p>
<p>@raca1111, I’m checking daily, and Columbia has not yet released its early decision application count. I’m hoping Columbia’ll be more like Dartmouth this year (12.5% decrease in number of apps) than like UPenn (5.6% increase for an all-time high this year). But considering Columbia didn’t suffer from any major scandals, I’m guessing the number will increase (maybe that’s also why they’re withholding the information for so long this year :/). </p>
<p>Arrgh, I still don’t see my test scores on the tracking website. CB sent them in a week ago… Did anybody take the November SAT I? CB sent the Nov test scores yesterday. I know the make-up Nov SATs won’t count because they’re too late, but I’m hoping the tests taken on the regular date will count…</p>
<p>@raca1111, (2011-2012) Columbia received 3,088 ED applications, a decrease from last year’s 3,229 applications, of which a record low of 19.6 percent were accepted.
[CU</a> receives fewer ED applicants for 2016](<a href=“http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2011/12/09/cu-receives-fewer-ed-applicants-2016]CU”>CU receives fewer ED applicants for 2016 - Columbia Spectator)
It seems Columbia, unlike other Ivy schools, announce their ED applicant pool just before the ED result release, on early-mid December. (2012-2013) ED application pool data has not been released yet.</p>
<p>@ ChiselCheeks, I completely agree with you, but it’s really quite discouraging to look at past ED results threads and see these applicants with 2300+ SATs, 4.0 GPAs, and amazing EC’s get deferred/rejected. Though the process is pretty much a crapshoot, I’m anticipating a deferral as well (please, no rejection lol) with my unhooked, average stats, ORM status.</p>
<p>AAh thanks guys… I’m hoping we don’t see too big of an increase in the applicant pool, but only time will tell. and thanks for the reassurance ChiselCheeks!</p>
<p>Had my interview yesterday. The lady is a senior at CU. She was absolutely amazing and I felt it went really well. We had so much in common, (primarily being overly-anal which I allowed me to breathe a sigh of relief and become more relaxed) But she told me she thought I’d be a great fit. She’s originally from the same area I’m in so I think that’s why they chose her to facilitate the interview. I think I have a shred of hope now? :)</p>
<p>^so lucky. i hope i get an interview miraculously</p>
<p>AMRF08 honestly, I’m pretty sure I needed this interview more than anyone else, because my stats are quite low…like…LOW. I kinda felt as if they looked at my app (not the writing) and said “who is this chick that has the gall to apply to our prestigious school with scores like THAT?” lol.
But if you’re like everyone else on CC, you’re a magnificent candidate, and I wish you all the best’</p>
<p>thanks. im not quite the 4.0 gpa, 2400 sat candidate myself. good luck to you too!</p>
<p>Anyone know decision day?</p>
