Meh what's two rungs in the long run?
'Tis true, especially since chances are I'll basically end up with the same job afterwards.

Lol, I almost feel like interjecting to arrest this pro-NYU blasphemy, but I can understand the desire to bitch against CLS in this thread. Definitely don't choose one or the other based on the US News survey. Yea, the village is funner than Morningside, although we're not any more gunnery. On the other hand, maybe 11% should have an impact.

I don't get this "Greenwich is better than morningside" crap. I mean, it's not like they are in different cities. They are quite literally a subway ride distance.

You two are my faux sworn enemies. :D I'm just very thankful to be married to a super hot wife so I don't have to be swayed by these frivolities.

On another note, I'm pleased to see that the temperament of this thread has improved. A week ago we were all in tears.
Time heals all. One year from now, everyone will be where they'll be and won't think about it any further.

I think that several people will be accepted this week. I thin we will see a few acceptances trickle out every few days for a few weeks and at the same time, waitlists will begin until a massive waitlist wave in two or three weeks

For the sake of my sanity, it'd better be by e-mail.

Even if it is by mail, at least Columbia gives you no warning so you don't sweat it for days. Other schools with their status checkers will say "Decision Letter Sent" and you have to stew for 2+ days waiting for a letter.

But once that first letter goes out, it's gonna be hard not to sit and wonder...and wonder.

Accepted movement comes via email. It started last year on 4/9 -- looks like a few people were accepted that day (Tuesday). Start the freak out!

edit: one of them had a 3.4 GPA so don't fret if you're a splitter (of course, this year is wacky)
