<p>my stats were not even near as good as those, I feel unworthy of being rejected now ha
we should have a rejection party and when we're all rich anf famous go to columbia and laugh at them :)</p>
<p>I want to add, from the perspective of a parent, I would have taken all of you if I'd been on Columbia's admissions committee. What amazing people have posted here!</p>
<p>Those who got rejected or deferred -- it doesn't mean you won't get into a great, great school. It just means that this year in this round at Columbia, maybe they got a ton of New York piano playing soccer goalies or pre-med Southern bassoonists who started their own businesses, or middle-western newspaper editors who also speak Ancient Greek. When you go on to apply somewhere else, you will be the exact goalie or bassoonist or editor they are looking for! Good, good luck from here on out.</p>
<p>I do not think financial aid that big of a factor, I did not apply for it and still got deferred</p>
<p>If you contact Columbia and ask why you were rejected (so you can at least try to fix it for RD), will they tell you?</p>
<p>You can't re-apply RD in the same year, obviously.</p>
<p>My stats:</p>

<p>I meant RD for other schools</p>
<p>In all probability, no.</p>
<p>Yeah. Thats what I was thinking.</p>
<p>financial aid isnt that big of a deal, though it may have been a factor who knows..they do have all the info. but i applied for it and i was accepted</p>
<p>I can honestly say I never expected the columbia massacre...yale yes, columbia...this is a surprise</p>
<p>"It's just so hard to present an institution with seventeen years of all your accomplishments, blood sweat tears, whatever you've been through, and then just being rejected. Can't help but take it as a reflection on myself."</p>
<p>couldnt have said it better oasis..</p>
<p>This thread is depressing</p>
<p>well.. i'm really upset.. shattered..</p>
<p>i guess these guys are too..</p>
<p>we did get rejected you know..</p>
<p>all of CC is depressing. these people's rejection status has rocked this forum, because we all believed in them. Same for the darties. While more got accepted, they too know the feeling of rejection.</p>
<p>last year we're in the same boat Corey; what a difference a year makes. </p>
<p>All of you who frequent this board: you guys are my heroes. The accepted, the deferred, the rejected, I admire each and every one of you. Whether at Columbia or at any other great institution that is lucky enough to have you, you guys will make us all proud, proud that we were once privileged to be associated with each other. I'm saddened by the trichonomy that has befallen us on this fateful day, and although the laughters, the tensions, the fun times of yesterday may only be a thing of nostalgia from this point on, I will remember every one of you fondly.</p>
<p>i can't believe a lot of the core people didn't get in.. :(
my friends.. :(</p>
<p>it's scary...it seems the regulars all got rejected/deferred, and that's a terrifying thought. Yesterday at least you could hope, now things are the way they are, and there's nothing to be done that can change it.</p>
<p>You people are psychotic. I'm the only person on here who should actually be worried, because of my ECs, or lack thereof. Most of you have got the stats to be accepted to a perfectly fine college. Nevertheless, I seem to be the only one not depressed by rejection.</p>
