<p>@rishav- Dartmouth. Not Princeton. And just cause the colleges didn’t suit me. I couldn’t go to Dartmouth because it’s not the right fit. As hackneyed as that sounds. :P</p>
<p>@kevink- CONGRATS! As you said, “it’s good to know that they don’t only look for the perfect score students”. :)</p>
<p>Also, can someone sticky the official results thread?</p>
<p>I have no idea what you’re talking about. The tracking system is still normal for me.</p>
<p>^That person is lying and saying the same nonsense in all ivy league threads.</p>
<p>This is horrible. I freaked out for nothing.</p>
<p>what a jerk, even if that was true the best way to find out is officially, trust me. Barnard had me in a rut about my decision for days with their portal mishap.</p>
<p>Are we still listing the orders we’re checking Ivy decisions in? :D</p>
<p>Yale (most likely reject)
Harvard (applied on whim, so feels a bit impersonal)
Princeton (favorite, but knowing accepted students’ stats, mine aren’t exactly deserving. I feel like I haven’t earned an acceptance, so I’ll be relatively fine)</p>
<p>Columbia last, because I know I got in. Checking last = ointment for ego :)</p>
<p>Actually, I’m really glad I applied to Columbia. I wasn’t interested in the Ivies as a group, but was sucked in by the glamor of HYPSM(+C?) as the academic top. I think I only applied to Columbia on a whim, because a blogger I liked went there. :o Yikes. And now I’m imagining how bad I would’ve been going to feel if I checked HYP decisions with no Columbia afterwards.</p>
<p>6.89% O.o. I am so grateful for my likely!</p>
<p>Just a few hours away, good luck everyone.</p>
<p>Haha - all the folks with likely letters are making it sound like there are only a few slots left for everyone else. :)</p>
<p>Good luck to all, and CONGRATULATIONS on all of your amazing high school achievements!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I thought today would be easier because it’s SO CLOSE, but it’s been the most nerve-wracking day ever.</p>
<p>Accepted!!!</p>
<p>The Committee on Admissions has carefully reviewed your application to Columbia University, and we are sorry to inform you we cannot offer you a place in Columbia’s Class of 2017. </p>
