What's up with the Waitlist??

<p>I think so… my college counselor said that they should be done by the end of next week.</p>

<p>The past years it took them literally til late June…</p>

<p>ouch! That is just painful.</p>

<p>Was your college counselor saying that as a generalization about most schools? Or had he/she specifically contacted Columbia?</p>

<p>My counselor told my friend that’s on the wait list that Columbia had a higher yield than expected thnis year and they probably won’t be taking off the waitlist. He spoke with an adcomm officer.</p>

<p>Can anyone else verify this? [Please say no.]</p>

<p>Yea, does that apply to SEAS as well?</p>

<p>two kids i know in my school turned down SEAS. so that’s at least two out of like 5 that got in.</p>

<p>lol they accept more than they can; im referring to the yield rate.</p>

<p>right. and that’s about a 60% yield rate from my school, which isn’t exactly amazing.</p>

<p>thats 60% of 5 people; no disrespect im askin about the 500 or so that were accepted.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Um, small sample size. And isn’t the SEAS yield in the 2/3 - 3/5 range?</p>

<p>exactly, which is why i think that it’s possible that saying columbia has a very high yield rate this year might just be a speculation, at least for seas. and yeah, i know it’s a small sample size, but still…</p>

<p>anyways. sorry if the small sample size thing makes it irrelevant. :(</p>

<p>dont worry bout it; as you can tell we’re all stressed, anxious, frustrated, or all of the above. Even if the entire acceptance rate is 60%, we still dont know how much more students they accepted than can actually fit in the class… oh well think happy thoughts</p>

<p>If this thread is true, SEAS has gone to the waitlist.</p>

<p>Not legit, search his posts.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s not true. He got into SEAS RD, not off the waitlist. Strange.</p>

<p>My heart stopped for no reason then…that was lame.</p>
