<p>This is the best early christmas present :DDDD but to those deferred/rejected, this only means the open door to many more opportunities!</p>
<p>ps. I want to be friends with tobiasfunkeblue too!!!</p>
<p>pps. when do i receive the big package as an international? (canada)</p>
<p>I tried logging into the link but it always says error. I tried using the “first time” link and logging in using my PIN and DOB. Neither works and the letter did not specify anything on my financial aid estimation.</p>
<p>@neiro6 Oh, I’m in California Youth & Gov!</p>
<p>@TwinShadow oh man you guys are CRAZY in comparison to us xD we have someone who used to work with CA, his name is randall? your organization is probably too big for you to know him, lol.</p>
<p>Wow, being deferred is awful. After looking through the stats page, the deferred pool looks so competitive. I think I have no chance in regular decision. It was good while it lasted, and it’s nice to not have to tell people Columbia rejected me. Meanwhile, I feel like I straight up wasted my one and only ED application. I am consumed with fears about what is to come. I entered this college application process extremely confident. After watching my sisters go through it, stressed and on the borderline with scores and ECs, I pushed myself for a different experience. There I stood. I was above average in everything and confident that even if I got rejected someplace, another school would want me. Now I really just don’t know. I’m really glad for the regular posters in this thread who were admitted. I really enjoyed sharing this experience with you. I know you will have a blast and, obviously, I am jealous.</p>
<p>Mustang man, please don’t look at it like that. Look at all you’ve benefitted from this experience. You’ve worked harder than ever before, built a work ethic, bonded with people from across the world. Also, you’ve made a good friend (me) who hopes to keep in touch!</p>
<p>Mustangman, I guarantee you will end up somewhere great! You have great stats that will make you a competitive applicant in any pool. Every Ivy is a crapshoot so just because you didn’t get in to Columbia doesn’t mean you can’t get into any of the others! Maybe you will end up getting into Harvard or Yale and not getting accepted by Columbia good ultimately prove to be a good thing! Best of luck to you and I’m glad to have had such great people on this forum to go through this process with.</p>
<p>Yeah Mustangman, I feel you haha. Right now I’m stressing about getting my other apps (of which there are 8) in on time, and now I’m not as confident about getting in to any of them. But at the same time, I’m glad that now I have the choice (if I get in) of picking between these schools, you know? Like I’ll never look back and wonder “maybe I could’ve gotten into ______.”</p>
<p>@mustangman I’m more convinced than ever that admission to top schools is significantly influenced by luck and arbitrary factors. You’ll do fine no matter where you go, don’t lose your confidence! There are plenty of other great schools - and hey, Columbia is still an option. Thanks for being a regular poster, you were one of the reasons I kept coming back to this thread even when I wasn’t in superhighstress mode.</p>
<p>I feel like the acceptance rate was a lot higher this year than last year. And it seems that more people were deferred too…</p>
<p>I’m sure the 5% drop in ED applicants helped a little bit, especially with the kind of kids who go on CC. But it could just be that this year people had shorter celebrations and got on CC faster xP</p>
<p>Anyone know when official ED stats will come out from Columbia?</p>
<p>Congrats to EDers 2016! ED is the best… don’t let anyone tell you otherwise 
See y’all on campus next year.</p>
<p>Congrats guys. I was told that a 2400 SAT would get me in anywhere, but I guess with today’s admissions climate nothing is for sure anymore.</p>
<p>aahs12, you’ll go places guaranteed. You shouldn’t have any worries at all</p>
<p>Hey, does anyone know when Columbia releases their early decision admissions statistics? Because I am kind of curious about how this year is compared to last year.</p>
<p>Well the dean said it was more competitive than ever before, but they say that every year haha. No idea about the stats, hopefully it’s soon, I’d like to know too.</p>
<p>Accepted!!</p>
<p>To everyone else who was accepted, I’ll see you this summer at the mixer thing. 
To everyone who was deferred, I hope I see you there too!!! Don’t feel down 
To everyone who was rejected, tell me how Harvard is when you start next year 
It’s gonna be okay and this only means that your place is at a different school. Here’s a hug from New Jersey [<3]</p>
<p>@mustangman</p>
<p>I don’t know what your talking about. You and me are getting in during the RD round! :b</p>
<p>@brandnew3773
I was looking for those too. Please let me know if you find them because a lot of people I know unexpectedly got rejected and deferred. This was a tough year :(</p>
