@mooseyellow what a great video! Hopefully we all get to experience that!
@1984ad it’s not a paid third party. At the school I go to we have an office of college admissions and each student gets assigned a counselor from the office. Usually they have pretty good connections with colleges and sometimes they will receive notification of good news (although unofficial of course) prior to the actual date. I don’t think all colleges do it but I have definitely heard of cases where college advisors/college office (or GCs as some people seem to call it) hear back from the college.
@mooseyellow OMG I loved that one! I also love this person’s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXkSOTioXms
hello guys again! not drama-related haha but does anyone know if the checklist being removed signifies that they’re done with making decisions as of today?

i love these videos! they’re also a little sad for me though because i keep thinking that i’m never gonna experience anything in them :((
@kitkat4023 I think so. My prep school teacher who used to work as an admission officer said that college usually finalize their decision 1~2 weeks before the notification date… let’s hope for the best!
No.1: everybody chill out, we’re all anonymous internet people who are, in real life, balls of stress. It’s fine, we are fine, nobody is out to get each other. Chalk it up to stress related misunderstanding and let it go.
No. 2: I should NOT have watched that first acceptance video somebody linked. It only made me, like, 50% more desperate??
@katewithak same! :((
Aahhh that vid he was so happy
aw what a cute video it makes me feel so fuzzy inside
My counselor got an official letter from Columbia too. She never showed it to me, but she told me that it said that decisions are the Dec 14th without specifying the time.
@biolover0318 sorry to bring this back but i just wanted to say that someone who not only can get into Columbia but will be successful doesn’t need the verification of others to see their own talents. everyone is talented in their own way and the ability to appreciate this is what makes Columbia such a great place. there’s no need to “assume.” having certain stats doesn’t make an applicant. there will always be people who have better stats and are still humble. what makes an applicant stand out is their ability to be sincere. you don’t need to apologize to me. this thread should be a community that builds each other up not brings each other down.
wishing all of you the very best!! <3
You guys should ccheck out ken westrick on youtube. He has a lot of super cool Columbia videos. Warning: will make you more stressed. Also, when did this thread turn into fight club?
Idk! But I’m so happy this forum is back to being helpful instead of that weird feud

@notlimah_hsirrap I love his videos as well! He works will NSOP and took over CU’s Instagram stories for a couple days which got me hype
Hey guys! so i was just wondering if any of you submitted the film portfolio to columbia? I know this was the first year in which it was optional to submit a film portfolio.
Also – are any of you guys IB students? it seems like most of you guys are AP students but I was just wondering if there were any of you International Baccalaureate kids out there hahah.
Wishing you all the best and sending you lots of luck! <3
@stressedhelpme are you implying that everyone on this thread who is insecure about themselves and wants support can’t get in to columbia and/or won’t be successful? I don’t think insecurity suggests that someone doesn’t belong to the school, but maybe I’m just missing something? Also, I never meant to bring anyone down and i wish everyone the best of luck!! I was just really worried about the decision 
@stressedibstudent to answer your question, i’m an AP student. im not sure about the others
