<p>I’ve just been put on the extended waitlist, but I feel this does not bode well…</p>
<p>Dear Ratnik,</p>
<p>In my prior correspondence, I promised you more news concerning your candidacy for Columbia University.</p>
<p>Our incoming class remains full, which leaves us with the regrettable task of releasing you from our waitlist so that you may go forward with your plans for the coming year. We are confident that the college where you will matriculate this fall will be made richer by your academic and personal contributions.</p>
<p>This has been an extraordinary year at Columbia in that both the quality of the applicant pool and the responses to our offers of admission have exceeded our expectations. We recognize and applaud your record of academic and personal achievement and regret that Columbia will not have the benefit of the contributions you could make here. I am confident that you will be successful in college and wish you the best in all your endeavors.</p>
<p>Thank you again for your longstanding interest in Columbia.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Jessica Marinaccio
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions </p>
<p>It’s over guys</p>
<p>do you know if people EVER get off the extended waitlists?</p>
<p>to our knowledge, no one did last year</p>
<p>I doubt that many people do. Nevertheless, I accepted a spot on the extended waitlist.</p>
<p>Yup. Extended waitlist here. How big is the extended waitlist, do you think? We have three on CC so far.</p>
<p>wait, is this for cc or SEAS? because i know SEAS closed a long time ago (and didn’t take anyone)… </p>
<p>does this mean CC is full also?</p>
<p>This is for CC.</p>
<p>I just got that email too. I guess I’m off to northeastern. Good luck to you guys, it’s been great to have some people to talk to about this.</p>
<p>Off to University of Chicago! Not that I cared much about the Columbia waitlist anyways. 
Too emotionally invested in UChicago.</p>
<p>ugh. off to duke… D:</p>
<p>just curious; what does the extended waitlist letter say?</p>
<p>I just got the rejection letter today as well. Oh well :(</p>
<p>Dear cio1183,</p>
<p>In my prior correspondence, I promised you more news concerning your candidacy for Columbia University. As things now stand, we have filled our class and cannot be sure that we will have places to offer any more students.</p>
<p>We have officially released the great majority of our waitlisted candidates, but we are holding on to a small group of students should any additional openings occur. We would like to offer you the opportunity to have a place on this extended waitlist, although I understand that this may serve only to prolong your suspense. Of course, there are no guarantees that there will be any movement, and we must emphasize that the chance that we will be able to offer you a place at Columbia is small, but we are offering you the option of holding on just a little longer. We will continue to keep you up to date on your status through the month of June.</p>
<p>Please let us know by May 31, 2010, if you wish to keep your place on this final and most selective waitlist by using the reply form below and e-mailing <a href=“mailto:ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu”>ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu</a>.</p>
<p>We send our best wishes and our thanks for your longstanding interest in Columbia.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Jessica Marinaccio
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions</p>
<p>P.S. A copy of the above will also be mailed to you.</p>
<p>Please let us know of your college plans for this fall.</p>

<p>Hmm. Extended waitlist here as well. While I’m thrilled that they’re keeping me, i agree that it’s looking bleak guys! Definitely accepting the spot, but really- how big is the extended waitlist going to be?? We already have four just on college confidential…</p>
