The pictures are so cute @allista :((
Do u guys think the letter will start with congratulations if it is an acceptance?
Hi guys I asked one of the counselors at my school and she said that they didn’t know anything yet, and that they either get decisions AFTER or at the same time as us!
@greysanatomy3113 yeah it does
@greysanatomy3113 or maybe “we are pleased…”
Hey! New season of Serial! On Bowe Bergdahl. Interesting distraction from the stress.
Less than two hours guys!
there was a thread asking about them and it said accepted is “congrats” and anything else starts with “the admissions committee”
About to take a nap to calm myself, see y’all at 6. #dontwakemeup
@allista if there’s an increase in the applicant pool, will they accept a larger number than usual or is that just wishful thinking
my heart is beating so fast I’m so nervous
Good luck everyone! And remember that even if you don’t get in you guys are all amazing and will go somewhere really good!!!

An increase? Oh no!
Will they accept more this year?
@stingray00 @yomo710 There is only so much housing in NYC and everyone is guaranteed housing, so… 
Hopefully they start with congrats. But my friend who got in said she remembers it says “We are pleased to inform you”. Hopefully it says congrats before that. Ahhhh
My SAT and ACT scores are weak compared to all of the people in this thread. I hope they DO look at my application holistically!
My friend who is currently at Columbia says:
“Lmfao I just saw the van full of acceptance letters”
WHY WOULD SHE DO THIS TO ME!?
I am so nervous!!! I’m trying to do homework, but I can’t focus on anything!!
I swear any answer they give me will be better than this!
My counselor asked me about it so he doesn’t know
