<p>@poopunicorns, if it makes you feel better, Questbridge applicants have to turn in their applications about a month earlier than normal ED applicants.</p>
<p>It doesn’t make me feel better. :(</p>
<p>so what are you guys expecting… lol</p>
<p>1 less spot for us non-questbridge applicants…</p>
<p>@mustangman - I have a lot of friends who go to UT, they all seem to love it. My parents, siblings, two of my uncles, one of my cousins, and future brother-in-law all went to A&M though, I bled maroon up until middle school when I realized that I didn’t want to go to school in Texas haha. Or in the South. …or in the West. Really anywhere that’s not in the Northeast. :P</p>
<p>I’ve become zen after having a minor panic attack last Wednesday. Thursday will come when it does, and if I (or anyone) doesn’t get in, it wasn’t meant to be. We’ll all end up where we’re supposed to be. <3</p>
<p>im trying to mentally prepare myself for the rejection though, but no matter how hard I try, I doubt I’ll be fully prepared for it!</p>
<p>my parents have already started prepping me for rejection lol</p>
<p>I agree with @theamazingemz, if we are rejected, it must mean that we weren’t meant to go to Columbia. Perhaps bigger and better things are waiting for us elsewhere.</p>
<p>“hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.” We’ve all heard that before. I guess it means keep working on those other applications. Then there is “the power of positive thinking.” I guess that means take a brake on the apps until Friday.</p>
<p>I’ve already been rejected from Columbia 6 times (I graduated from high school in 2004 and have applied ED each year since then), and I can say that it hurts every time. Here’s hoping that the 7th time’s the charm. eh?</p>
<p>trying to focus…on other apps, lol</p>
<p>@tobiasfunkeblue</p>
<p>OMG. Seriously? The adcoms need to see your commitment to Columbia! Holy moly! Seven is my lucky number and hopefully, it’ll be yours too!</p>
<p>Am I the only one who has not paid any attention to the other apps for the last month or so…? I gave up applying to Berkeley half cause I didn’t want to pay the fee before I heard from Columbia and half because I couldn’t get excited about it while I didn’t have my ED decision…</p>
<p>I didn’t even start on my other apps yet.</p>
<p>■■■.</p>
<p>i could hardly get myself to apply for the UCs as well, but @neiro6, the deadline was 30th…u knew that right? lol</p>
<p>@nebbalish- Yeah, I really haven’t either, other than the free application to Drexel and any short answers that are the same/similar to my other short answers.</p>
<p>But hey, the Dartmouth supplement doesn’t have any writing on it, so technically we’ve all completed that application, we just need to pay the fee haha.</p>
<p>@redconfetti Yeah, I decided not to finish my final essay over the Thanksgiving weekend… I would have felt really dumb to waste $70 on a school I probably wouldn’t go to anyways cause of prohibitively priced plane tickets and then get into Columbia.</p>
<p>I’ve finished most of my stuff for GWU, but I feel like that’s a safety… need to work on the harder ones.</p>
<p>If we are rejected, it means we weren’t meant to go to Columbia?!?!?! Hogwash, I tell ya! If we are rejected, it means we weren’t meant to go to Columbia until grad school. Just for a personal anecdote, my dad was rejected from Harvard for undergrad, and sure enough attended their med school.</p>
<p>@theamazingemz, hook 'em! Texas fight and it’s goodbye to a&m, no really, it is goodbye.</p>
<p>Grad school… it’ll be my fourth round of competitive admissions for school. D: Whyyyyy?!</p>
<p>lol, can you imagine what the admissions process will be like in 10 years…or even 5 years…</p>
<p>@mustangman- Oh definitely, I meant not meant for CU undergrad haha. If I’m rejected, I’m definitely applying there for law school.</p>
