<p>will there be any more waves of likely letters? do you guys know?</p>
<p>I think another wave of likely letters was released today for Columbia College. I was fortunate enough to receive this 2 hours ago:</p>
<p>I am writing to inform you that your application to Columbia University has been carefully evaluated and that you have earned designation as a likely candidate for admission to Columbia College. As long as our midyear review finds that you are maintaining your current level of academic progress and good standing, you can expect to receive favorable word when admissions packets are mailed on March 31st.</p>
<p>The Committee on Admissions was deeply impressed with your scholastic and personal achievements, and we look forward to all you might add to our rich campus community. I offer you my sincere congratulations on your accomplishments thus far and eagerly anticipate those that lie ahead.</p>
<p>If we can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to contact the Admissions Office at <a href=“mailto:ugrad-ask@columbia.edu”>ugrad-ask@columbia.edu</a> or 212-854-2522. Please save these dates for Columbia College Days on Campus for admitted students: April 11th and 12th or April 18th and 19th, when events will include a hosted overnight visit, a chance to sit in on classes, tours of New York City and much more. I hope you can join us.</p>
<p>All of us here wish you the best during the exciting months ahead.</p>
<p>Sincerely yours,</p>
<p>Jessica Marinaccio
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions</p>
<p>P.S. A hard copy of the above was mailed to you today.</p>
<p>I got a likely letter from Columbia today!
(Just after I found out I got a full scholarship to NYU)</p>
<p>Columbia has always been my first choice, but I don’t know if I can afford the 50,000 a year. I will just have to wait to see if I am officially accepted and if I get financial aid</p>
<p>is this by mail or email?</p>
<p>they’re always emailed at first.</p>
<p>congrats!! arab, your test scores are AMAZING!!!</p>
<p>I’m just curious… how many of the students who get accepted have are ones who had received likely letters, and how many of the accepted are ones who did not get likely letters? Do ppl with likely letters tend to be ppl with high stats?</p>
<p>got a likely today! so excited. didnt know they sent these to internationals…</p>

<p>Woot! Also recieved a likely today!</p>
<p>Hmm, they don’t release these all at once do they?</p>
<p>I think they do, because they do it via email. I know, I’m sad too, it means I didn’t get one :(</p>
<p>Got a likely for CC :)</p>
<p>Today? Just now? I’m surprised they’re still sending them. 2 1/2 weeks til decisions.</p>
<p>I’ve gotten early writes from Oberlin and Swarthmore, so I’m not as worried as I would’ve been had I no options.</p>
<p>Columbia is my top choice but I did not receive my likely nor interview. Quite upset. </p>
<p>My stat:
SAT I: 2340
SATII: 4x800
AP: 5x5s
GPA: 4.3
EC: 4 captains</p>
<p>Applied for Econ major. Maybe that’s the problem as I actually strong in math/sci. Or maybe my optional photo scared AO :-)</p>
<p>^LOL same here. 2390 SAT I, SAT II 800x2, and I applied for econ major. no interview, no letter. idk about the scary optional photo though ;)</p>
<p>@glacier CC or SEAS?</p>
<p>2210/780/800/4.2/pretty boy</p>
<p>no interview no letter sigh. SEAS.</p>
<p>don’t worry guys! most acceptees don’t get likely letters</p>
