Emailed admissions with an addendum with new info and they responded that a decision had been mailed to my address... Kiss of death? I think so

Are they still mailing VCE's? CLS emailed me about being reserved. Might be an acceptance envelope.

[Law4889]

I'm held ED and I think I remember reading that rejected ED were mailed... Who knows anymore haha

[Mr. Somebody]

I think CLS mails dings in white envelopes. Could be wrong though. Reserves are email only

[Law4889]

Were all recent acceptances via email?

Yes but they got a VCE in the mail too

[Blumpbeef]

I feel like they reserved me just because it was less trouble than writing a rejection letter.

Do people ever get rejected off the Reserved group? Or do you have to slowly connect the dots when you notice your classroom is nowhere near Harlem?

[daydreamer]

Will be withdrawing soon. Good luck to those still waiting!

[Greenandgold]

Andddd reserved. I'm gonna go ahead and withdraw. Good luck everyone, it's been fun waiting with you!

[80eight]

Columbia, I really want to know if I have a chance with you

[WhiteGuy5]

Lol it looks like they're ACTUALLY going to wait until the very last day. If they're playing chicken I have the whole summer =].

[zworykin]

Haha. No kidding. Especially since you're already (I think?) planning for NYC anyway.

I thought the reserve info sheet says that the school, after reviewing the reserve apps, rejects some, admits some, and leaves the remaining on reserve, no?

Yes. The letter said they will start evaluating the candidates in the Reserve group at the end of May...

After a few minutes of staring at the prompt on my screen I officially withdrew. Unfortunately there wasn't a box to suggest that whiteguy take my spot, but I'm sure they'll know what to do.

...thank you *sniff sniff*.

I don't think any more people are getting in though.

I actually started to compile a my own list of CCN acceptances/money compared to people and their numbers last night. Kinda trying to figure out why I got so much more $$ at Chicago than the other two. I gave up before I had anything other than anecdotal ideas, but it really seems like there are a boatload of Columbia acceptances that can't/won't/shouldn't be paying sticker there.

Chicago just gave out WAAAY more money than the other two this year in my opinion, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if Columbia has to dip into the reserve more than usual. It also seems like Harvard is behind in the cycle and ready to take a few more away from Columbia, so who knows.

Rubenstein $$$$$ making Chi really generous this cycle and last it seems (especially with negotiations). Columbia is just stingy with most people because they know they will pay sticker for NYC+preftige and they use their scholarship money to try and steal HYS people with Hamiltons.

[ViennaGraben]

I just got an email from gmail telling me if I refresh my inbox one more time I'll be banned from all of google. For life.

This can happen??? I laughed out loud in the office. You're my hero.

[Law4889]

Yup... Just got the reject. Oh well at least the wait is over!

Yeah I feel like Chicago gave a TON of money this year. I'm jealous bc I didn't even get in =\

[zworykin]

Please be advised that you will receive a decision from the Committee no later than April 24, 2012.

Well, I guess at least I know to check my email tomorrow?
