<p>And I am actually positive we will hear from them before that, they promised me that they were going to let us know BEFORE July 1st, and that was just a couple days ago (Monday to be exact) so we will most likely hear monday if not friday but yeah probably monday cause they like to extend.</p>
<p>oh and my apologies to Mrs. Howard for waking her up from her nap lol</p>
<p>Quag you really got us there! XD</p>
<p>Haha quagmire she was so ****ed she refused to buy my ferry ticket to Martha's Vineyard tomorrow.</p>
<p>Martha's Vineyard? XD</p>
<p>Yeaaaaah basically the greatest place on earth (besides Morningside Heights haha)</p>
<p>QUAG! That was AWFUL! I mean, I didn't get AS worked up as Johnny here, but I did nevertheless! As soon as I read your post, I went running around the house, praying frantically and acting like a grade A-loon, and then I checked all my inboxes and junk mails and everything. Bah! And my mom got all anxious, and now I basically feel like an idiot for not having checked the NEXT page before I read your post. ARGH!</p>
<p>Tsk, tsk, Quag! Nicely done, though, I must say. You gave in a little too fast. :)</p>
<p>You were fooled! XD I just checked my e-mail, but that was it. ^_^''</p>
<p>Haha quag_mire I saw you on Wallstreetoasis</p>
<p>XFD, good thing I read this page before going crazy.</p>
<p>dude most of the people on WSO are such ******bags. They rarely answer your questions properly lol</p>
<p>Hey fellow waitlistees. I've been reading through these posts looking for any glimmer of light at the end of this 2 month Columbia Acceptance tunnel. And thanks to you all, I'm going to need some Prozac or something because my emotions are all over the place. For the record, I got that email about extending my interest in the waitlist and still I go out to my mailbox and shed a tear when I don't see a LARGE shiny package with that Columbia seal. Indeed it's depressing, but my feelings have just been. Wait for the best. If I don't get into Columbia, I'm going to Wesleyan which I should definitely be happy with (even though it gets pretty old when people look at me with confused looks or say something ridiculous about Ohio or Virginia Wesleyan). Hm, usually I don't reach out to strangers on the net for comfort but, as they say, "Help me Obie-Won-Columbia Waitlisters you're my only hope." Wait, that was kind of lame, I'm not even a star wars dork...and I guess I'm not witty either. :-</p>
<p>I know how you feel, Jrtaylor8269..We're all in the same boat. This has been months everyday I check in this message board with all of you guys talking about the change of emotions...this begins to have a family feel...so familiar as time goes on...we never know what's awaiting us...but we feel so sure about our future...we'll shine, absolutely, no matter where we are...</p>
<p>You guys can't even complain. I am going to RPI my 9th choice. I finished my freshmen year, and it all worked out. RPI isn't exactly known for their business school either. In the end it all worked out and I am actually in a pre-law program that I might be nominated to go to Columbia Law. Before you complain about your wait-list just relax and be happy you got some acceptances in March and April. Last year I did not get a single acceptance after December. I was meant to go to RPI. I got my decision on my 18th birthday, and it was my first college acceptance. At least now we are ranked #1 for corporate strategy and #26 overall by business week. Now, I have to worry about the LSAT. Admission to law school is even worse. I feel that I will be disappointed yet again.</p>
<p>I'm sorry for you, NDJake. If it helps, I was accepted to my fifteenth choice and that's where I'm going, but I'm not so in love with it that you can't ask me to go elsewhere.</p>
<p>It's just a matter of perspective. Whatever way you take it. I'm not a particularly positive person, but sometimes you just have to turn things around and look at them differently. It could be worse. You couldn't have been accepted anywhere. It happened to a whole bunch of my friends, and THAT ain't easy to deal with, nope.</p>
<p>I'm going to my fifth choice. It's not so bad.</p>
<p>hey guys, suppose we send an email to columbia saying that we no longer want to be on the waitlist, can we tell kids in the college we're actually going to that we "turned down" columbia? in a way we are "turning down" columbia because we're declining their offer to stay on the list, and when we tell others that we turned down columbia, they're going to assume that we actually got accepted and decided not to attend lol....no one will have a clue that we're talking about waitlists</p>
<p>what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Yeah college admissions sucks. I'm going to be in debt up to my eyeballs as well. It really sucks when you do interviews and the interviewer loves you and says you have a magnificent chance of being accepted. Then all you get is nice small envelopes. :( Even BU wait-listed me. That was a match school at least. Bleh.</p>

<p>This is truly ridiculous and shows a great deal of immaturity on your part. a) You're only lying to yourself b) what does it give you delude others into thinking you turned down an ivy which actually rejected you? Is that supposed to be 'cool'?</p>
<p>It sounds like you're choosing your colleges for all the wrong reasons and are more concerned about perception from your peers than your actual education and future.</p>
<p>lol lionhead you're extrapolating the worst possible things from my post. While it's true that, to a very small extent, I do care about perception from my peers (who doesn't? wouldn't you be proud to say you attend Columbia?), I certainly don't prioritize perception from my peers more than my educational/career goals and I had very good reasons to apply to the colleges i did apply to. It is pretty obvious from my previous post that all I was doing was playing around with semantics. It's not like im seriously going to go around telling people I turned down columbia lol</p>
