OFFICIAL: RD Applicants Thread to Columbia College (Class of 2014)

<p>yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy NYC
this is what makes the east coast so alluring to me. am i shallow? ah well. then i’m shallow. :P</p>

<p>BUMP… keep this thread alive</p>

<p>only 2 months to go until decisions…anxious</p>

<p>bleh me too</p>

<p>I think I’ll go mental around late March. Waiting for 10 December for ED was bad enough… doing it again might just kill me.</p>

<p>apparently Yale has already started giving calls to likely admits. I wish Columbia would send out likely emails already…</p>

<p>plumdum…Columbia (fu/engineering) IS sending likelies already. And Harvard. Do you mean Columbia “College”?</p>

<p>yes of course I mean CC</p>

<p>Yeah, the College hasn’t yet, sadly. </p>

<p>I mean, of course not everyone gets likely letters, but dammit, I want one! Hah.</p>

<p>Are these likelies given out to people who submitted their applications super early? Or to people at random?</p>

<p>Well it’s not random. Just to people they’re sure they’d admit as it goes along possibly.</p>

<p>I’m so nervous about Columbia!!! I’ve already decided that I’m not checking my results right away. I’m waiting to hear from my other schools first, because I know I’m getting into at least one of them since it’s a safety. And if I get rejected from a safety school, I guess I’ll just go kill myself. (Kidding).</p>

<p>People have told me that I won’t be able to wait. But I waited on my SAT scores, so I can wait on this. I’m not even excited about it. Just SCARED. Scared of out my mind. Every time I THINK about D-Day, my chest and my stomach get this horrible weighty feeling, and my hands feel shaky and I feel like throwing up. So I feel no excitement at all. </p>

<p>I was dying for the ED people! I mean, come on, I wasn’t even getting my decision then, and I could barely take the suspense. I’ll probably never even get to see the decision because before I can look, I’ll have passed out and cracked my skull open on my coffee table. Sounds like awesome fun. </p>

<p>So. How’s the waiting period going for everyone else? Hopefully better than mine!</p>

<p>Hello, my name is Walter and I am applying to SEAS (hopefully admitted through HEOP since I REALLY meet the financial stuff(aka OPUS))</p>

<p>As far as how the waiting is going, I go to sleep, wake up and ask “is it april yet?” OMG! This school is my FIRST choice! I really hope I don’t get rejected! </p>

<p>Can people chance me?</p>

<p>Here is a link to my thread</p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Haha Cloudyafternoons, I totally know where you’re coming from. The waiting period is going about the same for me. I can’t sleep at night because I’m so nervous and regretting not applying ED. And not just for Columbia, but the other 5 ivies I applied to. Even with that said, I’ve realized just how much I want to go to Columbia, so not only am I nervous for my other schools, I’m becoming even more nervous for Columbia and playing out a million different situations in my head that may not even happen and as I am typing this I have an economics paper due tomorrow and it’s 1 AM but I all I can think about is APRIL FIRST! It really sucks and I can’t wait for it to be over, regardless of whether I am accepted or rejected.</p>

<p>I’m at a loss. I changed fro SEAS to CC today, bc the major I want now is in CC…and the admissions rate for RD is like 7.5%…I now feel like a lost hope, but at least I’ll know I got rejected for following my passion lol</p>

<p>is SEAS really easier than CC? I heard that SEAS self-select the applicants. what does that mean?</p>

<p>Have any of ou guys had your interviews yet?? Just wondering because I had mine today and wanted to exchange experiences.</p>

<p>I had mines in November because I applied extremely early for RD. it went well, but I don’t think the interview factors in to your admission decision at all. </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Well Idk if SEAS is really easier but it does have a higher acceptance rate so it can’t be much harder if you have good stats, ya know (+female engineer=slight hook)</p>

<p>@jazzyindy you might be right but my interviewer told me that I was one of her most unforgettable interviews and that she really want me to get in.</p>

<p>Is any one talking to any sports coaches?</p>

<p>Ok, so i’m totally clueless but did you guys sign up for interviews or did they sort of provide them for you?</p>
