<p>Post If You Recieve Notification From Columbia. We Want To Know When (if) They Go To The Waitlist Dont Forget To Say If You The College Or Seas</p>

<p>Shouldnt this be stickied like the RD acceptance thread?</p>

<p>No, b/c there's a good chance this thread will be very, very short.</p>

<p>^^ LOL (10char)</p>

<p>I said what i did just to see who wanted to be the donkey and make a snide remark like that.</p>

<p>I thought it was pretty cleverly funny :D</p>

<p>Got the email..</p>

<p>Our incoming class remains full, which leaves us with the regrettable task of releasing the vast majority of students from our waiting list so that you may go forward with your plans for the coming year. We are confident that the college where you will matriculate this fall will be made richer by your academic and personal contributions.

<p>I applied to CC</p>

<p>They kept a few people on the waitlist but warned that they probably will not look at it.
Still waiting here though...</p>

<p>*Dear Cindy,</p>

<p>Congratulations! The Committee on Admissions joins me in the most rewarding part of this job — informing you that you have been selected for admission to Columbia University in the City of New York. As a member of the Class of 2011, you will be a participant in an academic community wealthy in intellectual and personal talents of every kind. We are fully confident that the gifts you bring to our campus will be unique and valuable and that your abilities will be challenged and developed here.</p>

<p>This year we received yet another record number of applications, and so you and your family have every reason to be proud of the great achievements that we acknowledge today with this good news. We hope you will share your joy and excitement with the faculty at your school who have helped you reach this happy day.</p>

<p>The Columbia faculty, students and administration look forward to welcoming you into a community that thrives on our combination of a demanding curriculum, a diverse and talented student body, and a college town abundant in dynamism and opportunities. We know that you will contribute to the academic and personal excellence that has been the hallmark of Columbia students since 1754. The coming years at Columbia promise to be lively and joyful ones indeed as we continue to celebrate over 250 years of achievement and distinction.</p>

<p>It is our great pleasure to congratulate you on the successes that have earned you this fine honor, and we eagerly anticipate the successes that you will no doubt enjoy at Columbia. If any member of the admissions staff can assist you in the days ahead, please do not hesitate to write or call.

<p>Congratulations, Cindy!</p>

<p>Did you get into CC or SEAS?</p>

<p>Yeah, I got the "we're releasing you from the waitlist" email. It's fine...I've moved on long ago (the second I decided on Wellesley, actually). I'll take the waitlist for what it was for me: confirmation that just a few years ago, I would have made it in. Good luck to those still waiting (as they drag your emotions through the mud!!).</p>

<p>Thanks luce! I got into SEAS. Good luck to those still on the waitlist. :)</p>

<p>I would have thought that they have a seperate letter for waitist admitees, hm... interesting.</p>

<p>Yep...daughter got the email...we are releasing your from our waitlist. She was fine with it.</p>

yeah, the first year I applied to columbia I got deferred from SEAS (RD), waitlisted, and then extended-waitlisted... and then finally rejected like mid-summer. Which kinda sucked, but I had already pretty much resigned myself to working during a gap year.</p>

<p>The next year I reapplied ED, and got in. So sometimes it can depend on your commitment level to columbia, and columbia specifically. i'm glad I did, anyway. :)</p>

<p>As predicted, Twizzy's on the extended waitlist for SEAS.</p>

<p>Hey Guys, I Just Got The Email And I Got Off The Waitlist!!!</p>
