To be completely clear, my primary theory is that columbia autorejects anyone who applies from the same IP address as any sdn poster. I believe all acceptances have already been sent out. I firmly will stand by this.

Todays the day boys. I can feel it in my PEE PEE. They thrum with potential energy




I sort of having the same feeling in my PEE PEE. My brain however, says we should trust the person who told us that it would be next week given that it corresponds with what MSAR says (March 2).

Here’s to hoping my PEE PEE know better than my brain!


Did someone say PEE PEE

Depraved

I believe the opposite. The most neurotic posters here are the ones who will be the highest yield. All WLs have already been sent, and all of our acceptances are coming.

Also sorry to break it to you guys but I’m not feeling it. I don’t think decisions come out today.

I see you've moved onto reverse psychology. I ALSO believe decisions won't come out today 😉

I think they started around 10:30 last year (I’m ashamed that I know that) but you’re guess is as good as mine

20 more mins until absolutely nothing happens

Plus I doubt a SDNer was the first to get called. Today’s not the day and I’m actually sad that Columbia would make us wait a whole week

 

[deleted993870]

So they call and then on Monday they send emails is what you guys think if they do do something today?

 

[runmed11]

They’re really dragging this omg

 

[bones-n-sconez]

Cmon Columbia don’t miss the opportunity to make someone’s Friday today.

And to put the rest of us out of our misery...

[bones-n-sconez]

[runmed11]

Welp, guess it’s really Gunna be next week

 

[spontaneous23]

After that harvard rejection I could use some good news columbia pls you've always been my #1 😉

 

[premedD1athlete]

Yea that’s what we’re hoping. I hope they send out WL and R out on the same day

We understand these are stressful times, but please do not derail these school-specific threads.
I deleted a few off-topic posts, and this message should serve as a warning.

Thanks for your cooperation.

[FranklinDelanoRoooosevelt]

[deleted996731]

Just caught the R from Chicago. After a WL from Pitt, I honestly can’t say I’m expecting much at all.

Praying for a clerical error lol

have you thought about sending them a meme/posting portfolio? Because I would accept you based on that alone <3

 

[deleted846158]

Wow I’ll know if I’m going to Columbia after this weekend. Good luck everybody!!!

Is there an accepted student's FB page? I'm hoping to connect with people, and maybe look into housing near campus. I don't think Bard hall is for me...

Also, if anyone is considering nyu or penn vs columbia, please reach out. Down to those 3 for me, and I'm trying to make up a pro/con list

Considering penn vs Columbia assuming I get in to both which is unlikely lol

You even think about giving up free tuition of NYU?

Free tuition means nothing for MSTP applicants 😛

Technically true, but I do put stock in the idea that affordability will shape who my peers will be. Not that people who don't need FA are awful- I just don't want to be surrounded by the elite class (exaggerating here a bit). Big plus for NYU of course, but even there I've heard some cynical comments claiming that free tuition just subsidizes the next gen of plastic surgeons...

How do you already know about penn?

Hmm, in that case, I think debt-free would be better than tuition-free. I think that NYU would attract more elite class than Columbia (and Penn) because NYU doesn't take into account your financial status at all (everyone gets full tuition). Columbia, being debt free, is more generous to low-income folks and I would imagine would be more likely to have a good spread of folks from different backgrounds. i.e I really don't think NYU has an advantage over the other schools on affordability, at least when it comes to attracting "non-elite class" folks. (I could totally be wrong though, and I have not looked up statistics to back me up.)

 

[babykarat]

I don't! Sorry if that's how it came across. I just want to ground my wild hopes in some actual facts about the place

How do you already know about penn?

 

[deleted996731]

I can’t think about anything but Monday ugh

 

[Droseraceae]

FYI for future applicants reading this thread, bassett acceptances are all out- some in December and more in feb. Excited for everyone else who’s soon to find out for normal MD, can’t wait for next year

 

[spontaneous23]

how are y'all feelin? do we think tomorrow's the day?

 

[deleted996731]

I really hope so. I also hope they don’t release R and WL the day after A’s

 

[medschoolthrowaway2020]

I was born with mediocre stats and mediocre ECs. Every morning I get silence from my top choice, every afternoon I get waitlists from my safeties. At night, I lie awake in agony until the rejections put me to sleep.

Edit: this is a joke and a modified spongebob quote. I was just be dramatic because the wait is agonizing.

I hope it's tomorrow but I'm not feeling super confident after catching a WL on Friday from a school I also felt great about after interview

 

[bones-n-sconez]

if it’s not tomorrow I’m withdrawing

Imagine catching an R from that school.

+1

 

[deleted996731]

Here's to hoping the post II acceptance rate is a little higher at Columbia this year than last🙂

Did they interview less people this cycle?

 

[premed8080]

Don't think there's anyway to access that data, but I doubt it. OOS post II rate will likely remain close to 20%, which sadly means most of us will fall

oof

Even worse is that includes people that came off the waitlist so the initial post ii rate is probably even lower
