imagine getting accepted, burning all the stuff in your backyard, then a wind comes, the fire spreads to your neighbour, and you getting charged/sued... bam, acceptance gone.

Osheezie - I had a dream like that last night! I went to see if I got in but the Columbia website didn't work and it was terrible.

I think I'd die tomorrow if I came back from school and found a thin envelope from Columbia in my mailbox. Or if that DHL guy never came...

I live in Nassau County, which is close enough to Queens. Does anyone know if Nassau people get their letters first or their emails first? I'm dying to know.

Tonight is going to be Hell.

It's difficult to think that the decisions have been made already.
And yeah, now that i look at my application again, i feel the danger.

Hence why looking at our applications again probably isn't the best idea. But I've done it too T-T. ...It wasn't very fun.

osheezie, i don't think a few typos are going to hurt your chances of admission to Columbia. Because I like to believe that somewhere DEEEP down, these admissions officers have a heart and they'll understand. They have to. They were in our shoes once.

Unless you were like that kid who applied to UPenn who consistently spelled "tutor" as "torture." Or wrote orgasm instead of organism.

You will be fine.
