<p>I’m feeling the weight of time against me now. Thought I’d throw it out there that I asked my counselor if my grades had been requested and the answer was “no.” Again, after reading the Stanford ED thread (applicants had the same fears), I think the actual request isn’t indicative of a decision or possible position in the pool. If you have shown an upward trend in high school, sure it would benefit Columbia if they wanted you to confirm so. On the other hand, if you’re a student with a 4.0, it’s really unnecessary to request the grade report. I’ve had 42 As in high school, there’s no reason for a drop off. </p>
<p>Btw, I noticed in another thread @neiro6 and someone else attend the same high school. LMAO! I feel badly for the both of you, hopefully you each make it, but I can only imagine the fervor running through your veins after discovering the competition has studied and achieved beside you all along.</p>
<p>I agree. It looks like the people who had their grades requested were pretty random. I wouldn’t take it for much. Same thing with everything. I’m just trying to take stuff at face value and not read into anything.</p>
<p>I am SO nervous. I literally have been having the most difficult time doing homework the past few days. What have you done to pass the time and what are you guys going to do if you get rejected/deferred to ease the pain?</p>
<p>I didn’t get my grades requested either. But my school is termed so there was no point in requesting grades…though I hope nobody requested my first term marks T___T stupid AP calculus dragging down my average.</p>
<p>I’ve spent this nervous time finishing apps to all the other schools to which I will apply if I am not accepted to Columbia. I figured that if I am rejected/deferred, half of the pain will come from the realization that I have a TON of stuff to do for other schools. This way, it won’t be as bad if I hear bad news on Thursday.</p>
<p>^^Above is an example of what I wish I had done. In reality, I’ve done basically nothing.</p>
<p>does anyone read the Bwog? the blog of the Blue & White, CU’s humor magazine…
It really made me appreciate the joking humility, as well as amazingness of the Columbia campus, as if I needed another reason to want to attend (literally, so much to do on campus!) bwog.com
this is almost depressing me. I don’t even know the results of my app yet…</p>
<p>I love Bwog. I considered including it in my essay, but I don’t think I ended up doing it… not enough room. But yeah, it was definitely part of what attracted me to the school.</p>
<p>God deferral… do not want to think about that.</p>
<p>I don’t have exams. But we somehow got the teacher to postpone my physics test to next week do I have all of Wednesday night to freak out… My sure if this is a good thing woot…</p>
even if we are committed, we still get deferred; then RD is a likely no. There’s still chance; but it is very small.</p>
