<p>ok, if a columbia admissions officer happens to see this thread on cc, do you know how EASY is is for him/her to get your IP address to start investigating this situation right now???</p>
<p>WOW, think before you post about cheating an early decision on the internet. just wow</p>
<p>Given the very small absolute annual number of ED admits who seek to renege on their commitment, I suspect the task is simpler than locating IP addresses. I would expect the admissions staff to track every single one, through direct inquiry, to see whether the student actually ended up at State U or Huge Merit Aid U, rather than another Ivy League, MIT, Stanford, etc.</p>
<p>^yaaa exactlyyy!</p>

There was a court case that was settled which does not allow schools to share lists of applicants … however schools can share lists of accepted students … so Columbia is allowed to send their ED acceptences to schools such as the other IVYies and the NESCAC schools (Amherst, Williams, etc) … the $64k question is do they proactively send their list out?</p>
<p>So bulldog, have you still not heard from Columbia’s financial aid department? Are you still two-timing Columbia and Harvard?</p>
