THE 2008 ED Thread

<p>True, but I'm just wondering.</p>

<p>I'll know whether i got in, in about 12 hours. I am waaaaaaaaaaay tooo excited to even know what to do with my life.</p>

<p>How do you know?</p>

<p>Questbridge, I'm guessing. People who apply through there get notified today, I believe.</p>

<p>have any of the QB applicants gotten in yet? i'm so jealous they find out before!! but good luck! </p>

<p>this has been the longest week ever for me, and next week is going to be even worse :-S</p>

<p>I called Columbia today and they said that they haven't decided on a date yet
When do they usually announce these things?</p>

<p>apparently the first thursday of december... lets hope they do the same this year. the sooner the better.</p>

<p>So Sheed30, what's the news?</p>

<p>i'm guessing it didnt turn out so good?
but then again, if it did turn out well, congrats!</p>

<p>Yep, not so good. I was deferred to regular decision. I guess i still have a chance but, whatev.</p>

<p>sheed30:It's OK..Don't be so frustrated..You still have a shot at Columbia.You are a questbridge applicant and I am 120 percent you are very very excellent.You will be admitted by the top schools.In addition,you know your ED result at least 6 days before most other applicants.You can take the advantage to prepare for your RD schools.</p>

<p>I hope you can be admitted by your favorite school and I know you will.</p>

<p>Sheed30 kindly post yu Stats so that we can have some idea....and hope yu get in through RD...</p>

<p>yess please post your stats
and don't worry, i know a couple of people that got deferred early decision, and then got accepted in the regular pool
it's not completely hopeless! have hope, and good luck!</p>

<p>Take this for what it's worth--I just heard (third-hand, mind you, through somebody who spoke to a colleague in admissions) that most decisions have pretty much been made already. I'm taking it with a grain of salt so as not to get my hopes up. If this is the case, though, I'm going to guess that decisions may in fact be e-mailed later this week as in previous years (rather than on Monday the 10th as we've heard on CC about this year).</p>

<p>Does anyone have anything, fact or rumor, to confirm or deny this?</p>

<p>As I've said it's going to be this Thursday or Friday (as it traditionally is).</p>

<p>i really do hope so
i cant stand waiting any longer! lol</p>

<p>it's reeeeeeeally nerve-wracking to think that decisions have been made already. like my rejection letter is probably sitting in a large stack with a bajillion others, while y'all's packages are tucked away in some FEDEX mailing bag.</p>
