<p>Hi when do we find out the results for ED?</p>
<p>Do they email us or send us a letter through the post??</p>
<p>Is it exactly on Dec 15th that we find out?</p>
<p>most likely you'll get an email around the 10th/11th/12th of December, the actual letter will arrive around the 15th</p>
<p>Yeah I think you get an electronic notification on the 12th abouts, then the paperwork ships in on the 15th.</p>
<p>S got the paperwork th morning after the ED (on the 12th, I believe).</p>
<p>Edit: though we live in north Jersey, so tht may be why we got it so quickly.</p>
<p>oh ok.. so they send you an email saying u are accepted/deferred or rejected right?
around the 12th or so..</p>
<p>I live in Singapore so does that mean the notification via post will reach me later?</p>
<p>what do you think is the most important thing in the application??...
is it HS grades? ..
for those who are already there.. did you have a feeling that you were going to get in? did you know?</p>
<p>confidence fluctuated greatly i think; when i first applied i was pretty confident but then it kinda hit a doldrum.</p>
<p>soulofheaven, are you at columbia right now?...
it says you're only 17?!</p>
<p>lol don't worry, I'll be 18 in three days.</p>
<p>another question!!!
does a fat envelope = accepted or deferred
and a skinny envelope = rejection???</p>
<p>Ahhhhh! I'm so scareeed! I wanna know nowwww</p>
<p>Soul. what did you do to celebrate when you got accepted last year :)</p>

<p>yup, the fat/small evenlope thing certainly applies to columbia</p>
<p>April 1st last year was quite a day. Got my Columbia package and then spent the next 6 hours checking out results from other schools online, pressed "refresh" until my arm fell off.</p>
<p>happy birthday, soul!</p>
<p>hopefully I will be getting a fat envelope on the 10th!!!!</p>
<p>Happy Birthday Soul!!! :-d</p>
<p>alright, so I will get my envelope exactly on Dec 15th? What's inside the Columbia package?</p>
<p>Ah.. I really want that FAT envelopeeee!!!!!</p>
<p>How come the other schools didn't send you packages too?</p>
<p>happy birthday soul</p>
<p>wow..how were ur stats when u were accepted?</p>
<p>how do we know it's soul's birthday??</p>
<p>Well happy birthday anyway!!! :d :)</p>
<p>Soul, was there any indication that you going to be accepted to Columbia before you got "officially" notified???</p>

<p>lol, today is indeed my birthday. thanks to all of you</p>
<p>now to the questions:
-Stats at time of acceptance:
SAT I: 1580 (800V/780M)
SAT IIs: 740 average
Rank: 6/395
GPA: 4.9 weighted
APs: 5,5,5,5,4,4,3</p>
<p>Accepted:
Columbia
Brown
Cornell
NYU
Vassar
SUNY Binghamton</p>
<p>Rejected: Yale</p>
<p>-I happen to live about 30 minutes from Columbia, so the Columbia FedEx actually arrived before the email notification. Obviously for the other schools I had to wait because I don't live as close to them.</p>
<p>-Columbia really didn't give any hints at all. As compared to NYU (Sunday at the Square, National Merit letter, etc), Columbia's is top secret.</p>
