<p>I am a high school counselor that was asked for 1st quarter grades…the student has taken 7 AP’s prior to senior year and has A’s in all of them, as well as A’s in all other courses, and is a NMS. I think all of your theories are just that, theories :)</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone, you have all worked so hard and wherever you end up it will be the perfect place, and where you were supposed to be all along!!</p>
<p>I’m getting so nervous. I hate how the first part is either “Congratulations” or “We regret to inform you/ The application pool was extremely competitive…”</p>
<p>wow high school counselor on CC? lol</p>
<p>I asked my guidance counselor today, and she told me that Columbia has not contacted her to send my first q grades. I did not get a likely letter. AHHH</p>
<p>schemmy888, i know what you mean. I would guess that is the most stressful part probably of the whole process. Your decision lies in a page loading for several seconds(which will probably feel like it takes forever) and then you understand what the decision is by reading the first few words. But you have to make sure that you read it right, so you read the whole thing a bunch of times.</p>
<p>Has any student ever committed suicide after reading their ED admission result? Don’t worry, mustangman is not suicidal. Just for the sake of conversation, have you heard of the sort? Last year a girl from my high school was rejected from MIT. She had transferred from one of the NYC charter schools and was an impressive applicant. She just stopped coming to school, straight up. She missed practically the entire second semester, like maybe attending school ten days - maximum. Somehow, my school just let her off and now I think she is at USC or Claremont McKenna. What’s the craziest story you’ve heard of rejection reactions?</p>
<p>I really don’t think that’s worth discussing?</p>
<p>Just my own curiosity, apologies. There can only be so many hundreds of posts that everyone is anxious to hear back.</p>
<p>Mustangman, 2 things:</p>
<p>1) That’s a really really REALLY odd question.</p>
<p>2) Why do you refer to yourself in the 3rd person? :b</p>
<p>Thanks for calling me out on that. I think it is the second time I have done so in my past four or five posts… I’m starting to feel like Herman Cain.</p>
<p>Hey what do you have against Herman Cain! haha</p>
<p>I don’t have much against him, but many women seem to :)</p>
<p>Haha sorry for butting in, I felt the need to say that</p>
<p>“a business man named herman cain stepped forward. here i am. You see that’s one thing about Herman Cain that i think a lot of the american people know. Just because it’s tough that’s not a reason for me not to do what i feel i have to do. Some people don’t want to see herman cain get the republican nomination and some people don’t want to see herman cain become the president of the united states of america. i cant tell you what that motivation is other than to stop Herman Cain.”</p>
<p>Some speaker he is. HAHAHA! Besides commenting on Godfather’s Pizza’s dry pizza, mustangman (purpose) doesn’t really have much else to say about Herman Cain.</p>
<p>typical Ivy league kids talking about politics before even being accepted…</p>
<p>This thread has gotten really strange really fast, but in the best kind of way.</p>
<p>I for one will back anything that allows me to continue to say Herman Cain Train, just cause it rolls off the tongue awfully nicely. Though I do have a tendency to type “Hermain Cain”…</p>
<p>@brandnew Jeez, that’s an Ivy thing? everyone at my school talks about politics all the time.</p>
<p>haha well this thread could use a distraction so we don’t keep getting posts about how nervous everyone is!</p>
<p>Neiro6: Well I just felt like stereotyping everyone haha…by the way…shouldn’t your username be spelled Nero? Or is Neiro someone else entirely?</p>
<p>@brandnew: well, can’t hurt to add another stereotype to the already long list about CCers. Especially if it’s a neutral/positive one :] Oh, and neiro is something else.</p>
<p>Since our chat has dissolved into nervous bantering, how about we instead play a game.
Try to create the worst possible resume for a candidate applying to Columbia.</p>
<p>okay well lets start off with
Race: Asian/white female (because they are the most over represented applicants)
Essay: about how much the girl likes wide open spaces and rural living</p>
<p>TobiasFunkeBlue, your username makes me have a little more faith in humanity.</p>
<p>Asian/white female, essay about how she hated taking required courses on principle and dislikes reading.</p>
