<p>...doesnt actually feel that bad..im still the same person and im still going to accomplish the same things..its all about me....not the school....</p>
<p>hows everyone else doing?</p>
<p>i'm a bit nervous, and i won't be receiving a package either way today-- in los angeles i think i'll definitely be finding out on the net. it's good to see that <em>some</em> people are able to take the rejection letter okay. i hope i will be able to, too...</p>
<p>sorry to hear that sexydesi :(</p>
<p>the sh1ts hit the roof again..

<p>I got rejected too... Columbia was really my dream school, and I've been anticipating this day since early February...</p>
<p>I just don't understand why I got rejected... This girl in my class got in ED and her gpa/stats weren't that good. I read her essay and it was just okay.... maybe since she's Mexican it helped but..</p>
<p>I just feel like crap. I feel like all those years of laboring in HS weren't worth it. I guess I'm going to a state school now but I plan to apply as a transfer student ..... </p>
<p>silver_waves, I just want to say thanks for your encouraging posts.. because I know you were in similar situation and if you got over it then I guess I will too... I feel really down now..</p>
<p>I got rejected and I was upset, but not crushed.....</p>
<p>Then I found out my favorite comedian died and I completely lost it.</p>
<p>In December when I was upset about being deferred I was thinking to myself that I really was okay because everyone I knew was safe and healthy. But then I heard that my middle school drama teacher died and got really upset. Now this time the same thing happened.
I can't help but think that God really wants me to know that there are more important things in life than going to Columbia. </p>
<p>So even though you're rejected- be happy that everything else is going well.</p>
<p>I'm sorry to hear that, but you'll end up at a great school, I'm sure.</p>
<p>I received the rejection e-mail from columbia today.....I was pretty bummed, but NYU accepted me and that means I'll still get to go to New York City!! woo</p>
<p>"silver_waves, I just want to say thanks for your encouraging posts.. because I know you were in similar situation and if you got over it then I guess I will too... I feel really down now.."</p>
<p>brAdpitt (lol) - dont worry hun.. i'm so sorry to hear of ur R.. it really isn't nice i know.. i got rejected from brown just now too, but happy news from claremont mckenna.
i still plan on attending barnard.. even though i have chicago and wes to hear from.
like i said, things always work out for the best... for each individual it's different.. u all have ur own life paths.. i know i've said it so many times.. but i know you will end up somewhere where you will be happy.. you'll find your niche don't worry.
as for columbia.. i know how devastated u must be.. i felt the pain too. but it's just a school. and you get over it and move on.
and like adore88 he/she will get to go to nyc after all.. see things do work out :)
just dont lose hope dear!
and just think how lucky u are... we are so lucky.. we are so spoiled for choice .. and worrying about the top top top creme de la creme of unis (compared to the rest of the world).
and remember the ivies are like practically impossible to get into... it has been particularly brutal this year...
we are the children of the baby boomer generation.... its tough..
my friends have just been slashed by all the top schoools.. ivies had a field day today
so i feel the pain.. i'm once again very sorry to hear of the disappointing news..
BUT every CLOUD has a SILVER lining ! :)
Keep your chins up.... Muah xx</p>
<p>Didn't get in either. Really a bummer because I was really counting on getting in and I didn't get good news from other colleges as well...</p>
<p>sexydesi got into middlebury, so she has a great backup school. Thats why it didn't bother her</p>
<p>finally got rejected too..(ed deferee) but i dont really care , got into 11/15 schools all top 20ish so i have plenty choice..</p>
<p>oh well done go48!! that's great!
where will you end up going?
i still have 2 more school to bloody hear from!! soo annoying lol, but don't care for either of them.. :)</p>
<p>Rejected.... oh well. I'm just glad that I have been accepted to another wonderful school. So......... Williams, here i come!</p>
<p>i feel great..got into some wonderful schools</p>
<p>You all will do well. I would have been very happy to see every one of you attending CU this year. Sexydesi, I am sure you wil do well at middlebury or wherever you end up choosing, and silver_w same goes to you wherever you end up. Everyone else GOOD LUCK to you. I have enjoyed reading your posts and discussions.

<p>Thanks ivyman :)
I'm actually having a huge dilemma about Barnard vs. UChicago?</p>
<p>I wonder what future and current Columbia students think about this one. I'm having a really difficult time.</p>
<p>Let me just say that Barnard is Columbia. You honestly wont feel the difference. Maybe a bit your first year. But thats it. I scrambled my junior year to get into barnard dorms - they rock compared to CC and SEAS. And if going to an "all women's college" bothers you. Again, this is not noticable. You can live in Columbia housing, CC/SEAS can live in Barnard housing. NYC BEATS CHICAGO HANDS DOWN. So unless you want to go to an uber-big non-ivy league institution whose only really claim to fame was the manhattan project and a bunch of nobel laureates (Columbia has more by the way) - COME TO BARNARD. In the end - even your College Diploma will say Columbia University, not Barnard...</p>
<p>NY Rocks, Morningside Heights rocks, everything rocks. You must pick this place</p>
<p>damn, why cant they make a barnard for men lol</p>
<p>Lol, yeh Barnard does sound freaking awesome. And every Barnard girl is telling me that I MUST GO THERE..ahhh tornnnn..!!!!</p>
<p>So are you in a Barnard dorm right now?
I thiink after my first year I'd live in the sorority house, so I don't know about Columbia dorms.</p>
<p>And ivyman, do you know ANYTHING about the 5 year acceclerated program where you get your BA from Barnard and MA from Columbia? I REALLLYYYYYYY want to do this so bad. How difficult is it to get into and can you do the MA in english lit or anything else....
For this one reason, Barnard has huge perks over Chicago.
But yesternight, I spoke with my admissions officer at Chicago, and I realllllyyyy want to go there badly too. I dunno... it's just cus Chicago was always an alternative dream for me I find it hard to let go.</p>
