If I get rejected, I'm planning on taking it twice as easy, haha.

haha no lie, i did this for two exams i had last week

Still nothing for any EDers today, eh?

Apparently not D: I'm holding out hope, though! I'm pretty damn confident that we will hear something by Wednesday.

It's actually surprisingly relieving to have gotten a fall grades request. I think it's because I know my "decision" date is going to be independent of anyone elses, and I don't have to freak out seeing other people get their decisions and wondering if mine was shoved to the reject pile. Ya know? Last final's in an hour, pretty sure I'm about to cement another nice 4.0 for the semester to bring my GPA above CLS's median.

Either way, good luck to everyone else waiting!

I know exactly what you mean, most of the tension I'm feeling is knowing that someone else could hear back at any moment and every time they do my chances go down more and more. Good luck with your application - I'm sure a 4.0 will be enough for Columbia to accept you happily.

So, I am ready to give up on hearing from them yet again. Wow, my love for Columbia is dissipating with each passing day. I had expected to be either accepted or dinged by now.

+1. I feel for ya. Honestly the best thing you can do is pull yourself away from TLS, hang out with some friends, and just wait to hear back. Or if you've got finals do some studying and don't go on TLS. Sitting on these forums just makes the wait seem even longer D:

In via e-mail today. Good luck to all those who are still waiting!

Arrived in my inbox an hour or so ago, I think. The pdf letter was dated with today's date.

Wow. Congrats! I hope CLS churns out a few more of those today!

I wouldn't hold your breath - I haven't heard of two groups of decisions being sent out in a day. There is, however, the chance of more decisions tomorrow

Seems like a really small wave then. By now, it's probably been 1.5 hours since heyyyyyyyy heard back, and no one else on TLS or LSN has said anything.

Same thing happened last week and then there were more decisions on Tuesday. Crossing my fingers!

EDIT: If it was dated today we can expect to probably hear A LOT this week because that would mean a third round of acceptances. Unfortunately I'm also waiting for people to report dings/WLs. I'm gonna guess tomorrow we will hear our first rejection. Assuming two days for mail time.

How many people would you guess CLS will accept in the ED cycle in total? Last year, according to the CLS website, 9,012 people applied, and according to USNews, they had a 14.5% acceptance rate. So a little over 1,300 were accepted during the whole year, and 404 of those 1,300 ended up attending. Do you think they'll snatch up 100 during the ED cycle? 25? 50?

Based on LSN and TLS there were at least 20 ED last year which means it is probably at least 40. Maybe more, maybe less. Could be completely off.

That's the class that determines whether I get a 4.0 this semester, which I need to respond to CLS's grade request....fingers crossed

Grats to the admit today!


Question: Is it CLS' or CLS's? I'm assuming the latter because School ends with an "L."

Agreed

Hope you nailed that 4.0. Even if you don't and get a 3.8 or something I'm sure it won't be a problem.

So who thinks tomorrow is gonna be the day?

My interwebz connection is down so you'll have to forgive my phoning it in lately (I thank you! ).

Thanks man! I appreciate it! I was taking the exam and thought to myself, "I have to do well. People on TLS are counting on me....wait, wtf?"

Haha, but it's true. I felt I like had to do well and report here afterwards.

What is this? TLS is having a positive influence on your life and test results? Something is clearly wrong here haha. Glad to hear you did well though.

One person heard back today. Last week only a few people heard back on Monday and then more on Tuesday so I'm hoping the same thing happens tomorrow! Got my fingers crossed for ya (and for myself!).
