<p>Were you expecting to get in when you submitted your application and later checked the decision? Or did you feel like it was a shot in the dark?</p>
<p>i applied ED. My scores/GPA were above the Columbia “average” so I figured that I had about a 25% chance…you know, because it really is a crapshoot even if you have all your stuff together and are qualified. i was surprised when i got in – i think ED definitely made the difference.</p>

<p>definite surprise. but i also have a theory on humility, it makes good things better.</p>
