<p>dblockk09 looks like Columbia really looks past the numbers. I also got in with a fairly low SAT, but i worked my a** off writing the essay.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yum. Bitter grapes.
Hey. Be sure not to pass em around, eh?</p>
<p>i can’t believe its over.</p>
<p>all those days and weeks of built up tension, and just like that we all know and this thread becomes useless, a figment of the past. something for future columbia hopefuls to read as an insight into what might become of themselves.</p>
<p>it’s sad.</p>
<p>and this is the 1243rd post. that’s a freakin’ lot!</p>
<p>ummm, i know you are upset – but im white too?</p>
<p>so many posts!</p>
<p>well, it’s sad that i was rejected, but i just wanted to say thanks guys, this thread really made me realize that there are so many more people going through the same thing as me. congrats to everyone who got in. you’re gonna love it. i guess i just wasn’t meant to go there :-/ would’ve loved to meet everyone haha.</p>
<p>and to all those who are like me who didn’t get in, it’s not the end of the world. and i realized that today. things don’t always work out the way you want them too. but we learn from it and eventually succeed. we’ll all end up where we’re meant to. </p>
<p>thanks again guys.</p>
<p>Idk what a URM is.
I am happy Columbia looked past the numbers.
And to the guy who said he didn’t get in cuz he is white
Well BS I am white to!
But I got in bc of the academic sucess program I think.
Free education! Wooh. I can’t wait to see you guys!</p>
<p>URM = Under-Represented Minority (right, guys? lol) </p>
<p>^ Gratz again, so happy for you all :)</p>
<p>deferred… ugh. i guess i’ll just be waiting until march?</p>
<p>whatever, i just sent out my other apps - and we’ll just have to see what happens. it just feels like deferral means - “hey, you’re qualified - but we think we might be able to get someone better than you!”</p>
<p>blahh bitterness. i still hope i get in later.</p>
<p>congrats to everyone who’s been accepted! that’s awesome!</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we receive the decision in paper; and, for those accepted, is it accompanied by some sort of cool package?</p>
<p>Well… I guess I’m one of the far too many differed this year. Does anyone know if ED applications are up this year at Columbia specifically? But what I really want to know is what I did wrong. I have an unweighted 3.94 GPA 2210 SAT good SAT 2’s class president for 3 years, regional student advisory committee member, national honors society member, began leadership meetings withing the school to discuss issues from discrimination to class scheduling, and have competed as of of the two top performers in three seasons of running every year I’ve been in high school. I’m not one of those people who bought my way to good scores on the SAT with a tutor, I’m not the person who is natural gifted, I’ve worked for each and every grade I’ve gotten. What went wrong? I know deferral isn’t rejection but it feels like it and with the amount of students who make it in out of the differed pool it might as well be rejection. What went wrong? I don’t have my other apps. ready to go, in fact I haven’t even started them. Essentially I’m looking for someone else who is in the same position as me so we can drown our sorrows in some ben and jerry’s together (jk already did that). Anyone else feeling totally cheated?</p>
<p>I love the core.</p>
<p>im with you skier…i was deferred too…but hey its no big, image how hard it is to pick such a small class from all these applicants…the way i think of it is that theres got to be a reason for everything…so if u get in great, if not, screw them ‘morning side heights gangsters’…ull be happy anywhere u end up</p>
<p>i have to start my apps too…</p>
<p>thanks sena it’s nice to here it from someone in the same position as me, I’ve been telling myself this and everyone else has been telling me the same thing but it’s nice to hear it from someone who I know is going through the same stuff.</p>
<p>i can’t believe i haven’t checked this thread yet. Accepted!!!
thanks to all you guys for being such a good outlet for stress during this process…and to everyone who got in, congrats, and i can’t wait to meet you next year!
and to everyone who didn’t…there IS a reason for everything, and you all are going to end up exactly where you belong and LOVE it. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!</p>
<p>Columbia’s sizable increase in ED applications this year probably is a cause for a greater degree of deferrals & rejections. </p>

<p>guys - dont think that you did something wrong because you werent accepted. the pool is huge and competitive - columbia may have made a big mistake letting you go! keep your head up, skier</p>
<p>Is Post #1255 accurate? Seems that Columbia sent out 17% more early decision packets, but that may not be the same as the number of early decision apps received. The link fron Post #1255 doesn’t say anything about an increase in early decision applications received by Columbia. Am I missing something?</p>
<p>in @ SEAS. BYE BYE FORUM. I WILL MISS YOU GREATLY.</p>
<p>ColdWind-- yes, the article does mentions APPLICATIONS, 3rd paragraph:
</p>
<p>“Well BS I am white to!”</p>
<p>hmm, you mean, you’re white, TOO?
good job, Columbia.</p>
