Columbia University '13 EARLY DECISION

Colleges & Universities Columbia University
801

<p>Aaahh Thursday! It’s so close yet so far (a Calc test, a Lit test, a huge Gov assignment, an Econ quiz, a Physics quiz, a Physics essay, 2 Lit quizzes, and a crapload of other work plus 3 whole Mock Trial practices) away! To find out whether I got rejected or deferred.</p>

<p>Well, there’s always NYU…and Barnard, I guess. Does Barnard use Common App?</p>

<p>Anyone have music picked out? If I have any presence of mind, which I won’t, I’ll be listening to “This is Your Life” by The Killers (<3 them!).</p>

<p><em>Edit</em>
Wait. Wait. The email says "Thursday, December 11, 2008, after 5:00pm (Eastern Time). AFTER. How long after will it take? :/</p>

802

<p>i’m thinking OAR. it’s chill, and can go either way.</p>

803

<p>last year it was a couple of minutes after…</p>

804

<p>I’m waiting 'til 5:15 ish to check. Just to be safe?</p>

<p>Okay, I lied, I’ll probably be refreshing every second after 5 PM… but still.</p>

805

<p>omg if i get in, i live in nyc, so im totally going to columbia the next day and walking around campus like i go there already =)
haha
thank god i actually know some ppl who go there or me going up to campus would be totalllly weird.
klsdhshdg.
2 days, 20 hours. this day has seemed like a whole week…its so long!</p>

806

<p>Actually, I’m contemplating changing my song to Spaceman by The Killers, lol. I think the lyrics are quite applicable to most of us right now, especially the repetition of “It’s all in my mind” =] [THE</a> KILLERS LYRICS - Spaceman](<a href=“http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/killers/spaceman.html]THE”>The Killers - Spaceman Lyrics | AZLyrics.com)</p>

807

<p>ha i get home from school anywhere around 4:50-4:58 literally.
ill like run to my computer.
but watch me log in and then not be able to open the window and actually look at it cuz ill be so scared.
ill just stare at the screen for like an hour and try to get the courage to look.
ahh i sound pathetic and ridiculous haha</p>

808

<p>^ Yeah Barnard uses common app.</p>

<p>Who else is applying there? I can’t decide if I’d like it because it’s related to Columbia and in the city, etc - or if I’ll hate it because it is literally across the street from Columbia!! </p>

<p>Plus, all girls =/ </p>

<p>hmmm</p>

<p>I just hope it doesn’t come to that. Haha</p>

809

<p>well itd be nice to have the connection to columbia
but i dunno, i guess id go there if i had no other good options.
agh regular decision will kill me.
so long of a wait!</p>

810

<p>I will listen to Gloria Trevi if I get rejected.</p>

811

<p>I’ll probably listen to some Kanye West (songs from his new album).</p>

812

<p>that album is ok…
for a kwest junkie like me heh.</p>

813

<p>Haha, you know what I just thought of!
What if you’re computer crashes/ the internet goes down!
Haha…I mean I know there’s a million ways to check it, but still…</p>

814

<p>iPhone ftw!
I really like Welcome to Heartbreak, Love Lockdown, Amazing, and See you in my nightmares from that album.</p>

815

<p>omg, I’m getting home around 5:40 (yay? nay?) I mean, I can see my decision right when I get home, but how can I make it through class? >.<</p>

<p>I suppose I could “go to the bathroom” and just check my iphone… but then I wouldn’t be able to go back to class afterwards either way.</p>

816

<p>we should start a music playlist thread</p>

817

<p>I am not going to be listening to music because if I don’t get in whatever I am listening to will have that association forever. D:</p>

818

<p>If this makes engineering people any better I saw the rates for last year…34% accepted early decision to columbia engineering.</p>

819

<p>engineering numbers are misleading. its definitely self selective. just like UChicago</p>

820

<p>yeah but if its self selective then perhaps you’re one of the self selecting people. so it’s only misleading to people who aren’t applying.</p>
