<p>lol freakish...</p>
<p>haha heyyy, the dean of admissions must have a nephew somewhere</p>
<p>LOL!! The director of admissions is female...</p>
<p>she's good</p>
<p>I think I'll try my connections if I get deferred. My mom is friends with one of the professors and the Johns Hopkins professor who I worked with this summer is friends with the Director of Graduate Studies in the polisci program, Professor Andrew Nathan. I'll try that line too if deferred.</p>
<p>haha shouldn't you have pulled those strings before you applied ED?</p>
<p>Wanted to see if I could get in on my own merits. :)</p>
<p>Be careful, you guys could jinx yourselves with this thread...</p>
<p>I know I'm getting rejected..but I'm still slightly optimistic.</p>
<p>yeah..i'm expecting rejection, too..but i'll get really upset if i get rejected even though i'm expecting it..</p>
<p>haha after all the strings that freakish has pulled, i want this kid to get in</p>
<p>i want all of us to get in ... i wish that could happen.</p>
<p>same here</p>
<p>i think CCers who have shown such dedication should automatically get in</p>
<p>look at how much of my spare time goes into this board. this really should count as an EC</p>
<p>absolutely... i'll post up my picture if i get in lol and then we'll recognize each other when we go to Columbia!</p>
<p>we should have a get-together for CCers who get in this summer</p>
<p>sadly, i won't be there. im getting rejected</p>
<p>do you wanna have get-together for those who got rejected? lol</p>
<p>haha! good idea-- we can cry together</p>
<p>we could just have a get together in general! for all of us.</p>
<p>i dont know if i could deal with all you happy acceptees-- if im rejected im never coming back to the CC columbia forum again</p>
<p>hey.. I wouldn't want to make myself feel worse by glaring enviously at people who got accepted..</p>
