OFFICIAL Early Decision Applicants Thread (Columbia Class of 2014)

<p>This is what Ugrad office sent back to me when I asked about the ED result date…</p>

<p>Columbia will send you an email in mid-December alerting you that your decision is available to read online. In the email will be a link and, from there, you will log into a secure site and check your decision.</p>

<p>@columni
biomedical engineering. what about you?</p>

<p>Did everyone here send your first quarter grade? Our school system is based on semester, so i didn’t send mine… will it be a problem?</p>

<p>It says they haven’t received either of the college transcripts that were supposed to be sent… I requested the transcripts be sent directly to Columbia, and I sent the requests in around mid-October. The colleges kept telling me to wait for them to process, but now it seems like it’s too late to do much about it, and I’m getting worried.</p>

<p>@ ohhhplease</p>

<p>I didnt send my first quarter grades either. My guidance counselor told me if they needed them they would contact me, and they didnt. this has been worrying me because i dont know if i made it beyond the regional counselor, but a talk with a student from my school who applied ED 2 years ago made me less freaked out. He only had one teacher rec and his transcripts were sent very late but he still got in. I feel like having all of our stuff isnt as important as we think it is, they can still make a decision based on what they have.</p>

<p>I sent in my first quarter grades. The email I got from ugrad said that they should be sent ** IF available**. My first quarter ended in mid November, so it made sense to send them.</p>

<p>How do they want us to go about sending those? Do we just need an updated copy of our official transcript to be mailed in?</p>

<p>@ raychacha They didn’t receive my college transcript either as far as I can tell…I didn’t call and ask, but it never appeared on the tracking thing. Hopefully they just didn’t bother to update the tracker.</p>

<p>How important are 1st quater grades in their decision making process?</p>

<p>Probably not very. Just want to make sure you don’t have senioritis. Sometimes colleges say that first marking period grades could strengthen an app, but I doubt it does much.</p>

<p>I’m actually applying to Fu, sorry about that :o</p>

<p>im a girl from new jersey and im applying to cc ed
im so nervous i want to hear back already!!!</p>

<p>so we don’t get an email with the verdict? we get an email to a link which has our accepetance/rejection? oy</p>

<p>So NOBODY has any idea when we find out? I’m dying!!! I keep hearing conflicting information.</p>

<p>the waiting is KILLING ME this is pretty much all I can think about…</p>

<p>i’m really dying to know the results as well. it could come out any time starting next week…</p>

<p>@ mary-um</p>

<p>@ mary-um</p>

<p>That’s EXACTLY how i feel. from where i’m from, we haven’t even heard of any of these academic competitions, science bowl siemens whatevers. IMO, my best EC is my jack in the box job.</p>

<p>@ roaritsrobbie and altoidsmints</p>

<p>good to know it’s not just me and that not everyone here is a super-person! haha.
i actually thought i had a decent chance until i came on to this website and saw some of the applicants.</p>

<p>@Mary-Um
That’s pretty much how I felt too…and now I feel like it’s next to impossible they would admit someone with an application like mine…haha. Oh well, goodbye Columbia~~~~~~~Hello other colleges:)</p>
