Official Columbia University Early Decision 2016 Thread

<p>the email starts with my name, ID, and home address. And at the end of it it says:</p>

<p>We are happy to inform you that at this time your financial aid application is complete. In the event that we require additional documentation for any reason, we will contact you directly.</p>

<p>@lolsaurus: Asked this to fujoshi, but when did you submit your application? Wondering if I and xxxamazexxx are waiting on emails cause we submitted applications closer to the deadline.</p>

<p>@brandnew3773: I didn’t know that ED applications can get likely letters. Congrats!</p>

<p>I submitted on Nov 6!</p>

<p>@mustangman-</p>

<p>Thank you! I’ll think of y’all when I’m having one of my…less assured moments.</p>

<p>I’ve applied to Drexel as a back-up, and I’ve been halfheartedly working on applications to NYU, GW, the other Ivies minus Cornell and Brown, etc.</p>

<p>Thanks Lolsaurus! </p>

<p>@Neiro6 : I don’t think the time you submitted your info has anything to do with it. I submitted my FA info on November 14 and they sent me an email. Perhaps it is the sheer amount of emails they have to send out? Maybe you will get it sometime this week, but I doubt it has anything to do with when you sent it in. :)</p>

<p>@SherriClue I was thinking it might be some combination of when you submitted FA information and when you submitted the application itself. I went Oct. 31 and Nov. 18 so that might make sense? Eh, just trying to freak out less about not getting anything.</p>

<p>Nov 1st and Nov 18th for my App and FA package respectively. I haven’t received any FA emails. No Columbia ID yet, either. They told me to wait 30 days.</p>

<p>@ConfusedCanucks: still none? I can’t imagine what you’re going through lol. 604 applicants ftw!!</p>

<p>I submitted my application on Oct 30, and Financial Aid on November 7th. Just received an email from FA saying all my materials were received.</p>

<p>so decisions are likely to come out the 8th/9th of december?! I CANT TAKE THIS ANYMORE.</p>

<p>hi everyone, decisions are going to come out on December 8. my college counselor called the admissions office today, and it has been confirmed that Dec 8 is the day!</p>

<p>Can anyone confirm that? Because if that is true then that is awesome!!</p>

<p>@hakunamatata!</p>

<p>First holy crap your name, you’re right up there with mustangman on my favorite people list. God bless you.</p>

<p>Second, ARE YOU SERIOUS I’ve been outwardly supposing that but inwardly thinking it’d be later. That’s like 9 days away! Just, woah.</p>

<p>My birthday’s on Friday…I think the cosmos should remember this. Jus’sayin.</p>

<p>Someone confirm please… the 8th would be amazing…</p>

<p>+1 on the name, hakunamatata!</p>

<p>The admissions office is definitely going to get at least fifteen calls tomorrow confirming that date…haha</p>

<p>Hey, everyone! I’ve been following this thread but this is the first time i’ve posted. I applied to Columbia ED and am SO nervous to get the decision! Especially now that we may receive it in 10 days!!</p>

<p>At the moment i’m freaking out though. I submitted the CSS profile but somehow missed that we had to send the 2010 income tax returns…i only remember reading to send the 2011 when our family got around to it in the winter. Do you think this will put me at a disadvantage is they see i didn’t send it? Was there anything else beside that that i had to send?</p>

<p>bigapple3: Any forms you are missing they will alert you of via email and then you can fax it to them. I would call the financial aid department tomorrow and ask though.</p>

<p>gahhh… so hopefully decisions will come out Dec.8!! i can’t wait!! although that was earlier than i was expecting…i’m thinking that decisions will be released on the 9th b/c its a Friday</p>

<p>@Neiro6: I’m international, so maybe I’m in a different queue to get the FA emails.</p>

<p>I’m living abroad and will be boarding the plane home on the 9th! How well-timed the decision is: either way I will be so glad on the day :)</p>
