OMG i'm in:) likely letter!!

<p>Only 4.75% of ED applicants were accepted, but Columbia is known for deferring alot.
Also the coach told me that admissions does superscore on the SAT but not the ACT, who knows why.</p>

<p>Thankfully I got a likely letter once I committed to the school because I was a recruited athlete</p>

<p>What? 4.75%? It was more like 19-20%…</p>

<p>lol more selective than harvard?</p>

<p>hey who’s going to columbia college days??</p>

<p>thats not true…
20% of ED got accepted, 25% were deferred, and 55% were rejected
i asked the admissions officer when I went to visit…</p>

<p>Likely by e-mail today.</p>

<p>Yale deferree, profoundly unathletic.</p>

<p>2350/8th in class/very passionate about the social sciences</p>

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I’m so excited! I’m an international and got a likely today through email (thank-you admissions office!). Good luck to everyone and hopefully I get to meet you all soon.</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>Very happy for you guys! This is a reach reach reach school for me so maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised haha. Glad to hear members of the forum being accepted and being proud!</p>

<p>Currently studying music in Germany, and I technically never graduated from high school (only got the equivalent of a GED), so this came as a surprise. :)</p>

<p>wow, you guys are receiving likely letters this late???</p>

<p>davidyko, when did you submit your application?</p>

<p>Long time ago, actually. Submitted Part 2 on 9/26/09.</p>

<p>

me neither :frowning:
im surprised they’re sending likelies this late. seems pointless</p>

<p>^Haha yeah. have you heard from anywhere yet?</p>

<p>I can explain one small possible reason for such late likelies. </p>

<p>All these schools announce about April 1. My daughter will be mostly finished with her Spring Break on that date (like a lot of you).</p>

<p>Let’s say one is lucky enough to get into 1 (or 2?) schools…it would be GREAT to be able to revisit (or first visit…we couldn’t afford to go see all her options). Lots of kids might want that option.</p>

<p>But, waiting to announce on April 1 - that will be too late to be able to afford air fare. Especially for international kids. Maybe the colleges want to induce them to schedule a visit? Coerce … er, um…I mean convince them it’s the best place for them.</p>

<p>@handala92 Can you please post your stats?</p>
