I think my luck ran out by 29th March lol
Mechanical or Electrical engineering
Ay nice
meeeee
But I committed for Physics and CS at Colby rn
rip columbia WL 😔😔😔
I literally had 0 luck this season
harvard got u
fr tho I got northwestern ucsd NYU in a row and then suddenly comes ivy day and duke and Stanford 💀💀💀
fr tho
really wish i was an URM rn lmao
yeah i got WashU NYU UMich Gtown then ivy day happened
All are great tho!! Where are u committing?
why are you here LMAOOOO
And are u all intl full pay or domestic?
domestic full pay
💀
LOL i’m just lurking all ivy wl for any movements
us moment fr
Committed to NYU stern
and yeah im full pay
Intl
Oof
but actually for waitlists
that helps lowk ngl
Like I’ve read about this quite a bit and
Colleges get aid seeking people from the waitlist to make their fin aid stats better
Like average aid provided and % of intls on aid etc
what
i heard the opposite
full pay intls r more likely to be admitted or something
because money 💀
also true but only for colleges that are extremely stingy
And for colleges that aren’t T30
Because the T20 usually look for more applicants and better aid statistics
This applies more for colleges highly dependent on tuition fees
The ivys aren’t as dependent
I don’t have an official source on this
columbia is need aware for intls tho
But it’s just what I’ve read over the past 2 years
yeah I know
same bro
so true
any news from harvard yet?
nope maybe one person got off
Ugh I wish the process was much more transparent
Ur waitlisted at Harvard??
Damn that’s an achievement in itself
They didn’t care enough about me to even give an interview 💀
Literally same
At least Princeton and Stanford were nice enough to interview me before rejecting
Did u all get an interview from Columbia tho?
Yep
Same 💀
Same
Yeah
But my interviewer joined 15 min late
And said he has to leave in 5 mins
Legit said my name and profile that’s it 💀
Then I asked him plz reschedule
Since he had no time then
So he rescheduled and did a 30 min interview later
yeah
Ahhh I literally didn’t get an interview from them
It’s fine
It’s availability based
We were talking about that sometime ago and some of those comments seem fake
But idk ngl
maybe*
Cus like there were some people in Reddit too but like all of those accounts are super new
And didn’t have any previous messages
if there was movement it would have been extremely minimal
Well hopefully we’ll hear some good news on Monday
Is Columbia’s waitlist usually quite big?
we probably will not but maybe one of us lmao
Ehhh well let’s just hope it’s us hahah
Yea but why would they specifically go to Columbia waitlist in a kinda hidden thread
Maybe they just stalk w/o account
Too many ppl kind of talking abt it to ignore the fact now
Hmm could be idk tbh
So far I saw 3 people on Reddit say that, 1 person in Discord and like 2 people in CC
One person claimed they were already rejected
idk but if you see the Columbia RD thread on the day of decisions
Then I saw so many waitlists
Tbf also could be bias
Because rejections are unlikely to be posted
Also trueee
But yeah either way
Idk I just feel like it’s so not Columbia to release waitlists in waves
I feel like they would release them in big waves at least
pretty sure they did release waitlists in waves in 2021
True
(i know someone who got off the 2021 WL 2nd wave)
Ohhhh
Im expecting a wave next Friday again I guess
Hmm so are you thinking it was a first wave?
Sameee
Or like a very low chance of it being on Monday
low chance ye
Yes
Maybe SEAS on Monday?
Since there weren’t too many
personally don’t think they’re working like that
Just irrespective of SEAS and CC
Yeah
Hmm doesn’t Columbia admit by majors?
By college
Not by major specifically
That also makes sense, it might be skewed
i think something is coming out tmr tbh
ur odds are <1%
Right so wouldn’t you think it would make sense for them to roll out Seas separately
no but maybe seas is full and only cc has space
at least do some portal astro or smth
Fingers crossed low
There is literally no indicators 💀
NOOOOOO
everyone knows dartmouth is the best t20 with the word "college" in its name
Like I literally checked everything in the main portal and Fin aid
columbia college 🤮
Lol I might do a 3-2 program so will not disagree, but Columbia is definitely a dream uni
I just want to go to NYC and it’s one of the best for engineering
Same will also try
its quite fire indeed
Yeahhh but apparently they are so bad with aid for international students (transfer and 3-2 programs)
Yeahh I am thinking of doing that
Cus they have a special agreement with my LAC if I can’t transfer
SEAS is part of columbia college is it not?
i always thought that columbia college referred to the undergrad school and liberal arts while SEAS was the engineering portion of the undergrad school
Not sure but I think SEAS is a different school within Columbia
It’s called Fu School of Engineering right?
And applied sciences
So technically I think it’s a different school and CC is liberal arts more so
Columbia University is the university
Columbia College and SEAS are colleges within Columbia University
They are “colleges” bc they are for undergrad studies
COLUMBIA ACCEPT ME
COLUMBIA IS THE COOLEST SCHOOL EVER
COLUMBIA KIDS ARE KIND AND CLEVER
Manifesting or serious?
Manifesting
Im legit asking Columbia to accept me
Im@not saying they’ve accepted me
💀
that song actually dazed columbia for me
its may 15...
terrified
intl + full aid + orm + cs at seas its not looking good for me 😭
its ok
also they said bw may 15th to june 30th
may not hear anyth tonight
tbh i don't expect a wave today, friday instead
yea prob
everyone said that for cornell too but they didnt send out a wave in quite a bit im scared they arent gonna let anyone else off either
It's 15 May 💀💀💀
💀
they send out acceptances at 12 noon apparently
multiple ppl on CC and reddit said so
but no wave today imo
probably friday again
We'll see...
SAME LMAO
Good luck guys!
yo did anyone get an email rn (I didn’t lol but it’s noon on 15th May in NYC)
if no one got one rn then assume the next wave’s probably Friday only
nope
Thank you!
It seems like the guy on Reddit wasn’t capping
Email noon Friday checks out
So Friday is plausible
Haven’t heard of any SEAS waitlist movement so that might be coming
Why?
so is our consensus that it won't come today but rather Friday?
Cause other ppl were talking abt movement on Friday
wait is this the guy who said he got an email saying he was rejected from the waitlist? cuz that isnt supposed to happen
No
?
didn’t they say 5/15-6/30
yes
but some came on 5/12
so we're expecting next wave on 5/19
we think so
coz a lot of people posted about it
enough people to make it seem real ig
okay
Same ❤️
Nah just wait for Friday honestly
fr fr
friday noon new york time
9:30 PM IST for my indian folks 🙏
tis Friday in india 🙏
I’m coping so hard
It's Friday 
every notification is making me jump
Did it come out?
No we’re speculating 12 noon New York time
For all we know we might not even have another wave
so yea just forget about it honestly
this is so depressing
Lol yea but it is what it is
anything?
did anyone receive an email
maybe they're doing it in the afternoon? like before they get off work
Nothing for me
who knows
their rd results came out at like 7pm est so ig i'd expect that the wl offers come out later in the day rather than earlier
I mean last Friday the guys got theirs at noon
😔😔😔
only like one guy said noon tho
not surprised since yale, harvard and dartmouth closed their waitlists so soon
high yield this year im guessing
yep makes sense I guess
they’re probably just waiting for the previous Waitlist acceptances to confirm theirs
Since they give them one week
i would assume they'd take a day to see who to replace those who denied their wl offers
if there r any
i dont think it's an immediate process where people r queued up since it's not ranked
yeah whatever I guess it’s gg
cuz of this
i cba to stay up for a 'potential' offer lol
it’s gg
yea it likely is
was stressful while it lasted 🙏
but also i dont see an admissions officer saying something like that
also true
they usually dont disclose that info yknow
it's too transparent for an ivy AO to say HAHAHA
But either way even if that’s not true
they like their admissions processes vague and discreet
I think they’re probably taking v less from the waitlist anyway
not transparent at all
yea no point standing by the computer waiting anymore atp
im curious to know when they would release us tho
and i think at one point they were the last ivy to close the wl
not sure which year (could be 2021) but they closed it in like late june / july and waves of waitlist coffers came out until the end of may for some people
so the thread on CC says that they're planning an extended waitlist?
that's just more pain lmao
they do that every year tho
atp it's just based on whether people get their offers rescinded for some reason so chances r like 0.000001% lol
but eh
lol true
unis go to such lengths to cover their asses
just to give applicants pain 😔
fr lmao
what even are the ramifications that they're like short of 2 people in their incoming freshmen class
i see no difference
fr
ehhhh i mean harvard said something like that
time to look over all the locis?
well i mean
if the class if kinda full already
as someone "stated"
it shouldn't take much time to review locis cuz they'd do it depending on the demographics they want
plus all schools review LOCIs
just columbia taking 15 days extra 💀
i vaguely remember being able to submit stuff even after april 24
i dunno man i'd just assume it's that late bc their yield wud be lower
like the extension is gone
hmm who knows
oh no
last time this happened w harvard they released waitlisted applicants
it;s the purge 0_0
coz my portal only has status update now
the whole loci submission page is gone
is it like that for u
tbh i feel like w the waitlist
they might not filter it to be supersuper specific
like obvs they care ab demographics
but i feel like instead of replacing someone with another person from the same country
they j look at the continent
if that makes sense
also i wonder if the cds includes dual degrees i never checked lol
nah they want to say “our incoming class consists of students from all 50 states and 97 countries!”
depends on the country
if it's some country w a tiny population then they'd probs take that person
but if it's like they're missing someone from either china or india then they'd look at applicants within both regions
😭
may 15 is housing deadline
😭 why don’t they just close the waitlist already?
maybe they're waiting for princeton to close their wl?
Last year they closed their waitlist on May 13th
maybe they'll close it on monday?
Yup, maybe 😭
if only i could rewrite those damn college essays ;o;
Anyway, if there is hope I hope you guys get in, I'm international and I need full aid so I give up 😭😭👍🏼
Columbia was my only hope 😭, but I was admitted to a university in Europe so I think I will go there
I’m from Central America
wbu?
ah i see! ill be in the uk at durham uni for law
I am also on NYU's waitlist, specifically NYU AD, it hurt me a lot LMAO because I was invited to a thing called candidate weekend that meant you were going to be accepted 😭😭😭
OMG CONGRATS!!!! I wish you all the best in the UK!
ahh i see, hope you get either nyu ad or columbia! if not, europe is a superb place for uni!!
bro this is so sus tho 😭
I’ve given up now
Ngl I can't believe none of us here got off the wl 
columbia wl could very well be closed
it probably is
housing deadline was may 15
and they’ve already started to roll out UNIs
i’ve got my email and identifier
i got nothing this cycle but waitlists
I mean im sure that for some schools they make small time dreamed for waitlisted students
It is what it is yall...
They should honestly just officially close the wl LOL
Instead of making us wait 💀
they’ll probably close waitlist on Monday I guess
ayy same boat
doomposting until we get official news ig
they typically extend the housing deadline for those who got off the wl so that doesn't really correlate with whether the wl stays open, chances are still abysmally low tho
Ughhh
it's over
guys it’s not over till it’s over 😭
because i think this year’s yield will be lower than 65%
didn’t the same guy say there’s been little waitlist activity?
idk man
(i’m also on hopium cuz i want my friend to get off WL 💀)
That’s true
But I am mentally preparing myself for rejection tbh
Like chances are incredibly small so it’s fine
i gotchu
It’s joever bro
Like fr tho
If they had places they’d have sent out acceptances on Friday imo
I expect a mass rejection on Monday so tomorrow
its mon
yes
so 12 noon new york time
honestly we're just playing with our own emotions atp 😭
screw it bro
ive forgotten about this uni
i am going to the better NYC school 😎
real af
SAMEEEE im this close to just moving on by committing to my UK option
Bro wat u haven’t committed???!!!!
UK gives u until 8th june
Oh yea
@desert tinsel you must've firmed your choice tho right?
havent firmed yet
oh, wasn't the deadline last week i thought?
thinking about doing it rn lol
u got this right
i have until then to firm hahaha
yeah
why tho
Imperial isn’t well known for finance
Their new course is insanely selective and that’s what I got into yeah but it’s their first one
stern prestige and placements are insane
Plus New York so yea
More costly fs but then again I’d get to work in the US
niceee
no wonder
i was thinking it was like imperial STEM or something lol
tbh there's really no harm in firming now unless u are still deciding between the ucas schools
yeah im thinking of just firming rn LMAOOO
yea j do it HAHAH
i wanted to but im still deciding between durham n bristol
and tbh we shouldnt predict when columbia's gonna release us
no point coz it's so unpredictable
they could defo not do it today coz they cant be asked to
or they do it tomorrow like theres not strict timeline for them and they're not approaching any deadlines
probably tonight I guess
like I mean today*
it could but i also think that they might j do it whenever they feel like it lol
they could be keeping us on the wl until princeton closes their wl coz princeton movement could affect the amount of commits
im p sure columbia has a history of being the last ivy to close their wl lmao
so like dont hold on to too much hope that they'll let us know today
coz it'll be vv emotionally taxing
bc if it doesnt come today u'll start thinking that it'll come tmr and then if not tmr the day after and so on if u get what i mean
this is literally ucas 2.0 lmfao
where
NYU
yea ofc I’m coping
But that’s the whole fun part of it
are you full pay
yes
congratssss!!!!
Don’t need to cope when it’s true no cap 😪
Anything?
nope
Same
pain
also, just a sidenote, but wouldnt all ivies say that waitlist movement would be limited every year
esp columbia since they dont like publishing their numbers to protect their yield
nopee
eh no i don’t see why Columbia would openly lie about that
It’s probably average yield but since they over admitted so much they probably have an almost full class
im not saying they're lying, just that it's their standard response
nah their standard response would be that there’ll be news before 30th June
Someone on CC got that response
When they called
Another person was told about the class being full yeah
i expect yield for them to be lower this year and they didn't really over-admit when in the past few years their total admit rate was in the 2300s
yea i believe that columbia admissions said that
i just think that their whole 'waitlist movement limited' thing is something they say every year bc what else can they say if u rlly think about it
they’ll just say we’ll give news soon bro
They have no reason to say limited movement
All that would do is make waitlisted applicants forget about Columbia
but isnt waitlist movement limited every year
just by the whole nature of the waitlist
💀

Low key that makes sense… limited doesn’t mean anything
the only exceptions are the covid years
Limited can just mean limited by the extent of the waitinglist low key
it's not coping as much as it's critically thinking about their response
i feel like we all exaggerated their meaning lmao
I honestly just want a response. Like I am mentally already rejected, but all we can really do is wait
The process is not transparent at all
thats why it's the WAITlist ig lmao
bruh this is literally exactly like ucas in the uk
Lolllll it is kinda true
UCL was taking their sweet time this year
they always do
fr lse as well
my god kings took so long
ucl is good for econ tho
yea but they're annoying
I don’t understand what they are doing with our apps for so long
the waitlist is extended ucas istg HAHA
I got into such a good program at UCL, I hate that I can’t afford it
Praying for the scholarship
columbia has gone john cena on us
Low key
I think they just kinda forgot about our apps and will remember some time in September or something
nah they're defo gonna get back to us at some point
i just wonder if their wl will have waves
I mean I think that’s likely
coz clearly the first wave has gone out but there really is no predicting if theres a second wave and when that would be
Since they already released some acceptances a few weeks ago
It’s either waves or all rejections now
yea fr
Yeah. I think they will probably say something this Friday
Since accepted people had until last Friday to respond
could be any day this week; not just friday
I think they don’t like releasing decisions mid week or something
Idk where I’ve read that but apparently they usually release on Fridays
no idea but they have released decisions on a weds
Really? Last years?
they took some people off and rejected everyone at the same time
It was the 13th I think
thats why i suspect there'll be more than one wave this yr
Yes yes.
or else they would've rejected us at the same time as when people got accepted off the wl
Exactly
this year's yield is probs j low imo
ive seen so many people choose other schools over columbia it's kinda baffling
Exactly and the US news probably did not help
not that they made a bad decision but more like im surprised
yea columbias reputation is kind of in the hole
the recent stabbings dont help lol
Yeah I would love to go to columbiaaaaa it’s still my dream school tho
Rightttt
Still*
yea samee
yeah idk
they would probably say they are looking to take ppl
if they were gonna take
to increase waitlist yield
exactly
Low key because of the fact they haven’t already closed it I think they are gonna do one more final wave and then close it
It’s going to be like the spots that people declined on the waitlist
Because deadline to accept was last Friday
fr 😭
im not sure telling people to keep their hopes up would have anything to do with the yield tbh
hurry and reject me
apparently someone got off columbia wl for cs so i think there has been a SEAS wave
not today i dont think
they have a post on the school x v school y channel
they got off for cs
oof cornell closed their wl too
ITS NOT JOEVER.
Kidding but the fact that they haven’t sent out an email closing the wl has my hopium peaking
I think there is CS in college and in SEAS
maybe but the guy only mentioned CS but didnt specify CC or CEAS
THIS ^^^^^^^
That is a funny joke
yup i have a feeling columbia is done
any more acceptances after this will probably be edge cases
nice knowing yall
❤️ ❤️<3
How do you get info about whether each major is full or not
Well, it's not over until it's over
i honestly anticipate one more medium-sized movement before they close
Am I right to think Columbia is the last major school in terms of wl movement?
northwestern i think will have a much larger amount of kids getting in than columbia
columbia i don't anticipate more than 30 getting in from this date
northwestern i expect at least double that
idk just speculation though
do you know when it comes out?
23 votes and 0 comments so far on Reddit
there isn an extended waitlist
but this is just someones advice i saw on a2c for anyone who does get onto it this year, if they are doing it
tl;dr if you get on the extended waitlist, transferring to columbia as a college freshman is viable
yet
no one got any email from them right
iirc someone here speculated Wednesday noon
I didn’t get anyth
Radio silence
Honestly I think it’s either this Friday or sometime in June
It could go till July...
at this point it's extrmely hared for me to beleive any sort of speculation
Boutta get my ass rejected in a week
nah, man. beleive
I stopped believing after the Cornell and Harvard rejections
wl rejections?
Yeah
harvard is expected because they are so competitive ||although one of my slightly above average friends got off|| and cornell was packed this year
but because of the columbia scandal i expect more of a turnout
I think they are just doing one wave just to consolidate
They did a wave a few weeks ago
this is obviously an exceedingly optimistic view
Before the supposed may 15th date
i still dont know how legit that is
but all of them were international, so maybe there wasa different quota they wanted to fil
Maybe
But I already know multiple people in my state attending
So if they’re going to take me, it definitely won’t be for state representation
And as the most unhooked applicants of this world I’m kinda hopeless
where are you committed to rn?
Stern
ayy that's cracked
I mean, people say to take any ivy over stern
And it’s only really good in nyc area for finance
Really specialized, but nyu undergrad doesn’t hold up to sterns relatively higher standard
@radiant geyser bro Stern it’s a top business school and the outcomes are insane
Nothing 💀
Next Friday
This sucks
has anyone called them recently?
Wait to get rejected 
Is the first week this week or next week?
look for the first time in my life I’m not sure what a first week of a month is
Tomorrow will define it
