<p>I want to cry:(</p>
<p>I got waitlisted and then rejected to 4 schools last year : Carnegie Mellon, UVA, RPI, and Johns Hopkins.</p>
<p>And now, Columbia put me on their waitlist. I hate how I'm so close, yet so far away. I'm good enough, but they have better kids to fill their seats. =/</p>
<p>Does Columbia even take kids from their transfer waitlist? Is it even worth it to be optimistic? :(</p>
<p>don’t feel too bad if you don’t get it, i know numerous people walking on monday that are completely undeserving nimwits. columbia doesn’t do such a great job on the acceptances, seems they have way more swings and misses than hits.</p>
<p>i don’t know what else to tell you aside from, yes they do take people from the transfer waitlist, i know 1 personally, and you’re probably more qualified than many kids there already.</p>
