<p>Hey early decision Columbia Class of 2016! My name is Jillian, I’m a reporter for the Columbia Daily Spectator and we’re running a story tonight about the Admissions office sending out decisions. I would love to talk with a few of you who were accepted! This is a great opportunity to be in the Spec before you’re even here. If you’re interested, send me an email tonight at <a href=“mailto:jkk2125@columbia.edu”>jkk2125@columbia.edu</a>. Thanks and congrats!</p>

854

<p>Yeah! I’m so glad TobiasFunkeBlue got accepted :smiley: </p>

<p>but I’m rejected :(</p>

<p>I expected it, as an international Asian asking for FA.</p>

855

<p>Deferred. Congrats to all who are in!</p>

856

<p>Accepted! Yay! Tobias. maybe we’ll be friends!</p>

857

<p>@neiro6 I saw you post in the decisions thread and didn’t want to reply there. But you’re in Youth & Government? SO AM I. Which delegation are you in?</p>

858

<p>Does anyone know when the office will give us an estimate of our financial aid package? I have yet to receive mine. The letter only said “if you have not sent in your financial aid forms please send them in.” thank :)</p>

859

<p>@letthemlose: if you follow the acceptance letter to the financial aid links your package will probably be there… I never got an email but my package was uploaded already…look at the letter the financial aid department put in your acceptance screen</p>

<p>@letthemlose Like brandnew, my package was there once I logged into the finaid site.</p>
