<p>I was just thinking of something. I was rejected ED from Columbia; Does that basically spell doom for a Yale ( or harvard) acceptance?</p>
<p>Have you ever heard of anyone rejected ED from somewhere that wasnt HYP and then get into HYP?</p>
<p>( BTW-for anyone who replies Columbia is a great school, I know that, but admissions wise, HYP is more selective. Thats why I’m asking this?</p>
<p>I wouldnt think it would eliminate your chances at other schools…maybe you just didnt fit the molde at Columbia but you may fit in at HYP.</p>
<p>I know of a someone who is deferred at Cornell who just got a likely letter from Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Perhaps Columbia needs a sitar player and you play the tuba. Princeton or Harvard might need tuba players. I think as long as you are a good candidate you’re chances are as good at each school. Rejected by one does not mean doomed by all.</p>
<p>Just from reading the posts from the thread, Columbia seemed like a total massacre this year for ED. Don’t give up hope freakish, I still think you have a decent chance.</p>
<p>According to a NY Times article ~1.5 years ago, a top NJ HS senior was rejected ED by P, and accepted at H & has been attending there happily since.</p>
