<p>guys... so when exactly are we getting the notification from columbia?</p>
<p>and are you all getting emails from columbia except for me?</p>
<p>new info..
i quote, "the geographical reader will decide whether it's automatic accept/reject, or whether you should go to committee. if you go to committee, they will present your file and if they like you, they'll defend you. however, that decision will be by a majority vote by the adcom."</p>
<p>so we have to get past the first round (the geographical reader)... if we're cut here... we should start getting depressed now..</p>
<p>i wish columbia would give stats like yale does.. yale's officially announced how many early applicants there are this year..</p>
<p>i wish this whole thing was more transparent... we have no idea what's going on in that black box!</p>
<p>thomas, ah don't say that! let's pretend it's the deciding factor! just to make ourselves happy for a week or two. </p>
<p>i take orgo chem.</p>
<p>and is anyone else getting these emails? where did u get ur info silver?</p>
<p>we need to know what's going on damnit!!!!</p>
<p>i got it from a yale applicant contessa</p>
<p>Hey thomaschau and contessa, I'm in SHP too, Elementary Particles. I had the same idea about buying a Columbia sweatshirt right after SHP that Saturday. Oh well, we could all hope.</p>
<p>Does anyone have it confirmed when exactly the results come out?
Silverwaves where'd you get that from?</p>
<p>where'd i get what from?</p>
<p>can someone post the text of the e-mail from Columbia about dec. 10th?~~</p>
<p>yeh ... angelniki.. can we see that email you got from columbia?</p>
<p>how come priya and i havent got it? has everyone else got it.......... :(</p>
<p>I haven't gotten that email either!!!</p>
<p>hmmm.... where is angelniki!
she needs to post up that email here....
i wanna see it!</p>
<p>Of course you can see it! Sorry I made you guys wait...I don't get on here as often as most people, I guess...</p>
<p>I got the e-mail because they lost a piece of my application...here's most of it:</p>
<p>"Please fax (preferred method) or mail the missing document(s) to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Materials must be received by Tuesday, November 23rd. Our fax number is 212-854-3393, and our mailing address is: </p>
<p>212 Hamilton Hall
1130 Amsterdam Avenue, MC 2807
New York, NY, 10027 </p>
<p>We have checked our files thoroughly so even if you believe the documents in question were sent, send duplicate copies in order to avoid delays rather than responding to this email or calling the Admissions office. Your prompt attention to this matter is appreciated. </p>
<p>As materials are received and processed, allow two days for the system to update your file. You may confirm receipt of the missing documents by using the Application Tracking website above. We will be mailing and e-mailing decisions by December 10th."</p>
<p>What I find interesting is that is says decisions mailed BY dec. 10, not ON dec. 10...does anyone know if they may come before??</p>
<p>I'm wondering if those who are accepted will hear back first...then we'll all have to fear empty inboxes!</p>
<p>Thanks for the email!
It clears everything up a lot.
Confirmed countdown: 15 days to go...</p>
<p>I think it suggests that they'll email us on the 10th</p>
<p>Who's up for a Friday night vigil on the 10th?</p>
<p>I feel slightly obsessive asking this, but when Friday should we expect them?? I just picture myself awake at, like, 5 a.m. staring at my computer...7:00 a.m. rolls around and I refuse to go to school...just sitting here all day near tears...</p>
<p>Who's NOT? LOL.</p>
<p>I'll be here antisthenes, with a credit card in one hand to order my Columbia T-shirt and a box of tissues on my other hand.</p>
<p>=) jk</p>
<p>This is made even more poignant by the fact that I am a lazy **** and refuse to do my other apps until I find out from Columbia. So, that's gonna be a hectic weekend. </p>
<p>My second choice is definitely Swarthmore. I wish I'd discovered it earlier so I could have gotten an interview.</p>
<p>O MY LORDDDD</p>
<p>I cannot get over it... I keep reading :"We will be mailing and e-mailing decisions by December 10th." that over and over again.</p>
<p>So decisions may be sent to us on the 8th or the 9th!!! That is so soon... Less than 15 days...</p>
<p>So that means I'll have to wait the whole of Saturday the 11th .. if it comes out friday for you guys!!</p>
<p>I'll keep vigil! Goodness me... what will happen... suspense... :s
so excited and nervous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I'm here 2. First time for me to post though.</p>
<p>Someone should start a VIGIL thread...LoL</p>
