the REAL early decision applicant numbers.

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I think this might be upsetting, I have no clue where someone got 1100. I talked to an admissions counselor 5 minutes ago, the exact number is 1937. Yes, about 300 more than last year. </p>

<p>ALSO, if the online tracker doesn't show that your stuff is received, call them. They received a document of mine on Nov. 19th and still have not updated this on their site.</p>

<p>I hope this clears things up.</p>

<p>The admit rate (if they except the same number as last year) will be a little over 20 percent. So yay! Still a little more than RD.</p>

2

<p>so that means they went up like 19%? that can't be good</p>

3

<p>Did you talk to a Columbia Admissions Counselor?</p>

4

<p>Except last year's ED total was 1939. It actually went down by two whole applications. I don't know where you're getting these numbers.</p>

<p>I think you might be only thinking of Columbia College while the admissions officer gave you the figure for the entire undergraduate program at the University.</p>

5

<p>Yes sir. No, I told him specifically for Columbia College. This is accurate.</p>

6

<p>Hmmm, I first spoke to a counselor. Now I speak to an operator who tells me that they don't have the numbers compiled yet. WHAT IS GOING ON?!</p>

7

<p>lol...</p>

<p>Well if that figure is for CC, then... daaayum. Good luck guys ;p</p>

8

<p>Does Anybody Know The Number For Seas???</p>

<p>Or How To Find This (Besides Calling Them, Cause That Would Rude :))</p>

9

<p>haha i dont trust any of you guys - we'll see how things fly on friday</p>

10

<p>heh yeah, really...
does it even matter? we'll find out how it goes on friday =p</p>

11

<p>i guess not, but its only natural to reassure yourself with statistics. i'm so scared!</p>

12

<p>What number do I call to find this out?</p>

13

<p>212-854-2522</p>

<p>That's their office number, but who knows if those clerks know anything?</p>

14

<p>Ok, I just called.</p>

<p>"No, they have not been compiled. Decisions as well as application statistics will be known on Friday."</p>

15

<p>I called today, and the person who picked up said that he thinks the SEAS number was between 250 and 300 </p>

<p>up from last year</p>

16

<p>the guy who told me about 1100, said that was for the college only.</p>

17

<p>It seems odd that the 'counselor' would give such a precise number, down to the ones place.</p>

18

<p>seriously... who cares what the admissions numbers are now. it is meaningless to debate. whether admission rates shot up by 8000% or went down by 10% will not matter now. the decision HAS been made. whether you are accepted, deferred, or rejected, you will know in 3 days.</p>

19

<p>The Decisions I Dont Think Have NECESSARILY Been Made Yet FOR EVERYONE. They Use All These Days. From The 1st To The 8th At Least, Im Sure.</p>

20

<p>"The admit rate (if they except the same number as last year) will be a little over 20 percent. So yay! Still a little more than RD."</p>

<p>how do you know all of this...
seriously.. i dont get this.
1937? suddenly a rise of 300 apps.. thats also inconceivable!</p>

<p>ok lets just wait guys... who cares how many applied.. its like less than 3 days till the decision. its out of our control neway.
ok yeh it will give us peace of mind.</p>

<p>but its better for us NOT to know how many people applied at this stage..... it'll get us even more nervous!!</p>
