Columbia University (2025-2026)

[glad sentinel]

u need like 75 for seas

but only 40 for college

[little forge]

wait i'm confused

so columbia doesn't admit by major or school?

and seas is a graduate program you apply to?

what credits r u talking about

[near whale]

tthere's two schools

columbia has two schools

like how cornell has an engineering school and a cas

or how mich has ross and lsa

columbia has cc and seas

[little forge]

yea but i thought seas was a graduate

so you don't apply as a freshman right?

[near whale]

no both are undergraduate schools

[little forge]

ohh

[chrome panther]

seas - school of engineering and applied science

[little forge]

okay

[chrome panther]

they have engineering and applied phys/math

[little forge]

that makes sense

[chrome panther]

seas is different, since they requirements are different

seas gives out bachelor of science degree

[glad sentinel]

to graduate u earn points/credits with each class

that go to ur major

[chrome panther]

cc gives out bachelor of arts

[glad sentinel]

a cs major at cc will give u a ba in cs and takes about 40 required points/credits in classes

a cs major at seas will give u a bs in cs and takes about 75 required points/credits in classes

[little forge]

ohh

[near whale]

anyone wanna trade essays and glaze each other 💔

[chrome panther]

seas also has 1/4 classes to be core, compared to 1/3 at cc, because seas is naturally more stem intensive and hence focuses sles on the core as well

[glad sentinel]

ultimately if u do cs in cc u will probably still take the same amount of classes at seas

[glad sentinel]

yeah this too

core req r less for seas kids

[near whale]

oh yeah core requirements are different

[little forge]

wow

[glad sentinel]

personally if i was a cs id do cc just cus i think id jive more w/ that than seas

[chrome panther]

but oh ya forgot thats common core i think, since seas has other core req but thats math like calc and phys i think or?

[chrome panther]

its not too deep rn, since transferring from cc to seas and likewise is pretty straightforward ive heard (any columbia kids can correct me if im wrong lol), but if you meet some standard reqs and have a strong gpa i think its 3.0? not sure, but then you can switch

[glad sentinel]

i just think cc would be more for me if i was a cs kid

im not tho

i like more of the humanities

[chrome panther]

im just saying for info

[willow sparrow]

thats sipas

[little forge]

isnt this only for global policy

[willow sparrow]

kinda

[chrome panther]

columbia has like 16 grad schools

[willow sparrow]

but yeah sipas is a grad school at columbia that you might have been thinking of

[little forge]

it might've been yea

[autumn minnow]

nobody is compared to anybody, even between two physics people

yeah cs is either a ba or a bs

[little forge]

ohh

[waxen quartz]

Is applying biological sciences 'hard' compared to others

[glad sentinel]

all majors are “hard”

they dont compare u across majors/what ur applying to

[waxen quartz]

Cool

[autumn minnow]

no

[ivory socket]

should i mention a bit about all curriculums i chose

or only the first preferecne

@autumn minnow whatd u say

[ashen ibex]

how can that be true though, bc they want to enroll an academically diverse class

[pale dagger]

Hey guys

How are we feeling

[ashen ibex]

so i feel like major has some play in who gets accepted/waitlisted/denied esp if people in your applied major are competitive

[near ruin]

sure 💀

[waxen quartz]

can I join 😭

[waxen quartz]

I submitted mine rn which is 20 mins late for my timezone

it should be fine right?

[near ruin]

ya

[near whale]

Wait Duk check dms

[meager nymph]

did any of you get the portal log in details yet?

[potent rampart]

i got mine for barnard

[sinful grove]

[glad sentinel]

[prime temple]

[untold ore]

[glad sentinel]

i think he means majors?

[deft gust]

in some industries actually barnard > columbia

[void moth]

https://tenor.com/view/faceapp-makeup-stare-look-up-stan-twitter-gif-26882720

[potent rampart]

they trynna pull a northeastern and artificially lower the acceptance rate

such a shame, would've been a perfect match for me

[willow sparrow]

its not THAT hard to get into

[potent rampart]

the current acceptance rate reflects that

idk how much they want to lower it

[hollow tide]

tf 😭

[simple ruin]

-HS Senior

😭

I think Barnard ppl gotta be more proud of their school tho

More then 50% of the time they always try to make it seem like they at Columbia or sum

[near whale]

💔

need to go to columbia for barnard baddies

[willow sparrow]

real shit

[lime palm]

i meant not admit by major but like they look to see if your profile aligns with your major right?

[deft gust]

my gf's aunt is on the board of a film/entertainment company and they do not discriminate between barnard/columbia graduates and for film/producing barnard graduates are more desireable

[drowsy gulch]

As a future Barnard baddie, god willing, I approve this message

[glad sentinel]

im praying for u

u deserve it

[drowsy gulch]

Thank you

I’ve worked so hard lol

You deserve to get in to Columbia

[glad sentinel]

aww

[autumn minnow]

it’s just true

no two people are ever directly compared

[wary forge]

u seem like a very cool person loll im gonna see u on campus next year trust

[autumn minnow]

i did both of the two preferences because they connected

[drowsy gulch]

Thank you

See you on campus

In unrelated news, I spend all day skiing

It was fun

[glad sentinel]

didnt u just

hurt ur back

[autumn minnow]

to a lesser degree than people may think

[drowsy gulch]

I’m feeling better now

That was a week ago

It still kinda hurt but it was worth it and I had fun

I also dropped my poles on the chairlift taking a selfie

😭

But I got them back dw

[autumn minnow]

yeah like if you’re trying to become an actress or a waitress or a concertmistress or a huntress or anything else that ends with tress

[autumn minnow]

this is true

[autumn minnow]

nooooo

[near whale]

ppl who put barnard/columbia need more school pride

bro the school isn't even the first search result 😭 😭

[ashen ibex]

who wants to taxidermy a lion and send it to the admissions office with me ❤️

[glad sentinel]

i made a taxidermy joke on my supps

for princeton + harvard

[drowsy gulch]

It is for me but also I’ve been looking up Barnard stuff all the time

[autumn minnow]

i think barnard columbia is fine that’s actually essentially the school name

[ashen ibex]

what no way

[autumn minnow]

but i see people pretend they just go to columbia not barnard

[ashen ibex]

taxidermy tiger and crimson?

[glad sentinel]

i was talking about how im going to bring my collection of felted critters with black beads for eyes to our dorm and then was like oh dw its not taxidermy

calico critters :3

[ashen ibex]

OHH

im going to bring my army of naked babies with animal hats to my dorm

[glad sentinel]

i couldnt say that

ok

i so would have put

sony angels

[drowsy gulch]

Omg you need to get in everywhere!

[ashen ibex]

sonny angels dw

[glad sentinel]

i talked about lizzy mcalpine

what else

oh my trader joes tote bag

[near whale]

isn't it the apparel store

[drowsy gulch]

No, it’s Barnard college

At least for me

[near whale]

yeah barnard studnets larping as columbia students is what i'm talking about

[drowsy gulch]

I’m going to bring my handmade (by me) copy of Amsalmatzt Ishla, copied from memory with an English translation, to the dorms

[near whale]

AHHHHH i need to go to columbia 😭

[drowsy gulch]

Wow do you wanna see it that badly?

I haven’t done that much work on it yet lol

[near whale]

good work

[drowsy gulch]

Here’s what I have so far

Everything is done with pens I stole from my school

If they won’t offer AP exams, they should at least offer pens

[untold ore]

yeah i agree

barnard is a cool school

[drowsy gulch]

Can’t wait to go there lol

[untold ore]

it doesnt have to be columbia to be cool

[untold ore]

yeahhhh

[untold ore]

[drowsy gulch]

My greatest aspiration is to be a mattress

How dare you mock me.

Anyways guess who’s almost through a week’s work of calc hw that she needed to do over break and started last night

(It’s me)

I procrastinate a lot but when I get going I can get through a lot lol

I can’t wait for my concrete jungle wet dream tomato moment when I go to New York to start at Barnard next year

[willow sparrow]

real shit

🗣️

i can’t wait to walk down broadway in the mornings and spin around like they do in the movies

[deft gust]

do you walk on broadway in the mornings and spin like in the movies

[stuck fox]

is columbias community more competitive or collaborative?

[untold ore]

it is both i would assume

as with most schools

[simple ruin]

Competitive

[ionic remnant]

it’s both imo and it’s also what you make of it, like it would be anywhere

[meager bloom]

For Barnard on common app it says this "You can self-report your test scores there by uploading them to the portal to ensure receipt." but then it also says Please rest assured that Barnard will receive the scores you share in your application.

If I want my scores to be considered should I update them

the ap ones? since it's hidden from faculty view

[limpid vortex]

where can I find the columbia id? it's not there on the portal.

[willow sparrow]

sorry what do you mean

[meager bloom]

Like my test scores ap wise

[willow sparrow]

like do you mean update them as in sending them via college board

if they are in the common app it is fine

but self reporting is okay too

[meager bloom]

No just self reporting

Since its hidden from there view

[willow sparrow]

just go ahead and self report

[willow sparrow]

[untold ore]

LMAOOOO

i saw this one post on sidechat about how they were wearing merch and the person sitting next to them on a flight happened to be a ceo and offered them an internship

[willow sparrow]

Whoa

that’s actually crazy

columbia merch?

[untold ore]

ye

[near whale]

fahhhh

[hollow tide]

Ts never happens to me

[willow sparrow]

i want to own a plush roaree

[near whale]

WE are not getting in twin

[willow sparrow]

motivational 🤩🤩

[near whale]

WE will all end up COLLEGELESS

[meager bloom]

[clear blaze]

Ainnoway

[autumn minnow]

LOL

[autumn minnow]

just wear it

[autumn minnow]

hop on a few more flights

[near whale]

lowk ppl that wear merch while having no affiliation w the college are a teensy bit cringe icl

maybe i'm too pretentious

[wary forge]

wait is there like a columbia gc or smt

[autumn minnow]

if not somebody needs to make one

class of 30 is not a real class

[autumn minnow]

depends on the school

i wear brown merch because brown is awesome

[near whale]

🟫

i j finished my brown video ;-;

it's lowk not half bad

[willow sparrow]

idk, i think its fine

[hollow tide]

No GC ever lasts Lmaoo

Sidechat is like Reddit for universities

Post random shit

Or useful stuff

Upvote downvote

[torn mulch]

Barnard extension….do I shotgun barnard

[celest ocean]

The essay question is just 250 words so yes

[glad sentinel]

yes yes yes

[untold ore]

insta gc could work

just drag everyone into a gc 😭

[untold ore]

sidechat is a seperate anonymous fourm for college studfents

join it once u get ur email

[meager bloom]

Fr

I love ig

[glossy cedar]

are call of advocacies common for deferral

my counselor offered to do it for columbia

but idrk what it does

[ashen ibex]

say yes, it will help you

my counselor is doing it for me too

i think it just makes you top of mind ig? like getting a physical call will stick with an AO more

[near whale]

koh lum bee ahh

[glossy cedar]

Ahh I see

Thank you

[autumn minnow]

@untold ore can speak on this

[autumn minnow]

say yes

and prep him if necessary

[glossy cedar]

yes i sent him my loci

[drowsy gulch]

Prep him for a colonoscopy or whatever

Pretend that was funny

[void moth]

who do u think u are to send me these fuckass emails still

[willow sparrow]

anyone know if cc students can take classes at seas

and if so how good is the civil program at seas

[autumn minnow]

LOL

[untold ore]

i wouldnt say common

some people do it though

imo even if your school doesnt already have a relationship w columbia i still think its worth it

[untold ore]

@ionic remnant i was wonderingh about this to

and seas for cc

[simple ruin]

Yeah but u get bad priority for registration and also sometimes prereqs fuck u up

And some classes are seas only

But If u email the prof or visit them in person and explain I'm sure they'd let u

[willow sparrow]

yeah i kinda want to take some civil engineering classes

they're core classes so

[ashen ibex]

were u deferred ed

if u dont mind me asking

[ionic remnant]

yeah what the other guy said ^

same for the reverse, some cc classes are hard to get into if it isn’t a major req for you but you can always try

and if you can’t officially get into the class, a lot of profs will let you just sit in if you ask

[willow sparrow]

sitting in as in just watching but not doing assignments?

[oak pilot]

when do people usually receive their columbia ID, used for financial aid login

[ionic remnant]

yea

more common for lectures but sometimes profs will let you do it for smaller classes too

[hollow bronze]

anyone here applied/applying to a Dual BA?

[hollow tide]

soon idk

after ivy day

[oak pilot]

i see

so ig its fine to apply financial aid after

thx

[glad sentinel]

nooo

u need to apply before

feb 1

[oak pilot]

I cant find the checklist

if the checklist is what I think it is, I didn't get any NetID yet, and google says thats for undergraduates

[glad sentinel]

u dont need a netid yet idt

what do u need that for??

[oak pilot]

for financial portal soomething

do you have a link to the applicant financial aidportal

this is ridiculous, these multi billion dollar colleges cant make a website convenient to navigate

[glad sentinel]

oh i thought u meant for css stuff

but yeah u need the id to submit stuff in feb

css is due feb 1 i believe

or wait i may be mixing

15th

[oak pilot]

gotcha, im assuming they will provide it later

[glad sentinel]

let me send u a ss

[oak pilot]

i submitted fafsa and css for many schools in november and legit half of them didnt get it yet, its worrying

[oak pilot]

good to know, appriciate it

[glad sentinel]

and those r all the forms

[oak pilot]

well, hopefully columbia out of everyone sees that i submitted these 3 months ago

[glad sentinel]

u just need to do the outside payment form if u havent already

thats through a different collegeboard portal

u basically just put if there is anyone outside of ur parents + scholarships going to be paying

and they consider that part of their “grant” they give u

so ex. u are determined to need 60k but ur being given 30k, the grant becomes 30k

easy enough

[oak pilot]

ohhhhh ok,

when researching i missed out on that info, thanks a lot

will get this done

[glad sentinel]

i wish schools were a bit more direct

[oak pilot]

:true:

i spent so many hours tryna navigate, this is torture

wait kinda off topic, if half my colleges didnt see i submitted fafsa 3 months ago, do you recommend deleting and readding them + resubmitting

[glad sentinel]

for me some of the colleges i put originally didnt get it but now they did when i submitted it w/ the updated colleges i applied to

but i would give it a few days

because u also just applied + just entered the schools system most likely

[oak pilot]

that makes total sense, many new things w/the systems and stuff

ill wait then, thanks

[tribal grail]

Do we choose Columbia school of general studies if we didn’t apply to a specific school for Columbia for the CSS profile

[glad sentinel]

no

general studies is an entirely different school at columbia

[tribal grail]

Well it doesn’t show up

[glad sentinel]

what major did u apply to?

[tribal grail]

Columbia

Human rights

[ashen ibex]

thats columbia college

[glad sentinel]

so that means u applied for columbia college

general studies is columbia’s school for untraditional backgrounds

[tribal grail]

it didn’t show up on the css profile

[glad sentinel]

put this code in

hit search by code

and type

2116

it should be listed as “columbia u”

[tribal grail]

Oh okay I see it now

Thank you

How do we see status for aid?

Checklist

I’m confused on what you said earlier because when I try to access the checklist it makes me put in my Columbia ID and I don’t have a Columbia ID yet so uh idk why cuz I applied a while ago

[untold ore]

i thought you get it earlier if you were ED? not sure tho

[untold ore]

you should have a columbia id in your application portal no

[tribal grail]

I don’t see it

[livid granite]

I just checked my spam inbox and saw that I got it 2 days ago, definitely check if you haven’t yet

[glossy agate]

if i delete them, does it affect my chances? I just want them to stop emailing

[willow sparrow]

no

columbia does not measure demonstrated interest

[glad sentinel]

thats only case western

never take case off ur email list..

[void moth]

did u just ask if DELETING emails effects ur chances 😭

[glossy agate]

lmao i thought they would, so I've kept and opened all the emails for all the colleges I applied to.

[glad sentinel]

case western does do it

they will send u an email asking u to confirm if u still want ur application to be considered

[willow sparrow]

they were lowk the first college i unsubscribed from

[willow sparrow]

l&c does this too…

[tribal grail]

What the title of the email?

Genuinely can’t find my Columbia ID

[glad sentinel]

i didnt get one either

but they say it becomes available in february

[tribal grail]

If anyone does, please let me know 😭😭😭

[void moth]

if you delete their emails or if you unsubscribe

i thought they were asking abt specifically deleting

[near whale]

Holy shit

Wold you still apply to me if I were a worm ahh school

[livid granite]

I got mine in an email called columbia financial aid information for applicants, I think I only got it tho cuz I messed up my css and sent it to the wrong Colombia school 😬

[tribal grail]

I did that too I did the wrong Columbia school for css and didn’t get that

When did you apply?

[tribal grail]

It’s not a big deal if we don’t get it right or

if there’s an error..

[autumn minnow]

yes

[autumn minnow]

we both got off the RD waitlist

[autumn minnow]

they make it needlessly confusing i feel

[autumn minnow]

HELP

[meager bloom]

Why did barnard extend there deadline pls

[livid granite]

welcome to the club

[livid granite]

is it columbians or lions or is there something else?

[rough radish]

Reddit claims Columbians for general stuff and lions for sports

[reef adder]

[autumn minnow]

[autumn minnow]

yeah

[cold cipher]

lol no way

almost like columbia is in ur name

[autumn minnow]

this is news to me

[wicked basalt]

I would’ve never guessed

[fast parcel]

5 bucks and I’ll break in

[graceful zealot]

just slip my name under the door

[glad sentinel]

ill add 20 to slip me too

[celest ocean]

You can’t turn the knob?

💔

[timid bramble]

ill add 21 to slip me

[near whale]

PLEASE bro 😭 🙏

[willow sparrow]

25 if u add me

a2columbia

is the real name of this server

[chrome panther]

oh come on... send me your venmo... time to play the system 🤣

[waxen quartz]

Im sorry for asking 😭 but for people in columbia does it pyo if people from barnard say I got into columbia

[timid bramble]

💀

[near whale]

as a future columbia student i can promise you it doesn't bother me

[autumn minnow]

i don’t really care it’s like not that deep tbh

sometimes it’s funny

[untold ore]

it doesnt pmo its just kinda funny because its just objectively not true

they are seperate schools with seperate admissions processes

[waxen quartz]

right future

[waxen quartz]

obv bro just kinda curious

[waxen quartz]

Yeah

[near whale]

barnard/columbia 30!!!

[chrome panther]

short qs for those applying finaid with idoc... there's this form Columbia University Outside Scholarship and External Payment Form.pdf that we need to submit

how do you submit it... do you do it with the regular upload document(s) thing? im a bit unsure cause does this also send it to all my other unis?

[untold ore]

yeah that’s fine to me

[glad sentinel]

so what it will do is upload it to ur like

profile ig is what id call it

and colleges can then download individually what they need

[fast parcel]

no one here cares

like genuinley

everyone just calls themselves columbia students

[glad sentinel]

r u braving for the storm

isabella

[fast parcel]

lol

its so cold here right nwo

[glad sentinel]

i can handle cold when im on ski mountains

but in the streets?

idk

[autumn minnow]

i mean almost every barnard person i’ve met just wants to be just columbia lol

not an attempt to generalize, just personally my experience from an excruciatingly limited sample size

[wicked basalt]

umm of course it will

because no one that's getting into columbia says they got into barnard

and it should go vice versa

[willow sparrow]

it gets very windy

[waxen quartz]

lmao

[waxen quartz]

kinda funny that only the person from barnard said this
all love tho

[fast parcel]

lol im being fr

no one here cares

that was honestly something I was worried about when I came in

[glad sentinel]

i dont think anyone gaf rlly. i applied for rd but like most of the classes i want to take are at barnard instead of at cc sooo

[graceful zealot]

really making the most of the 3 days of nitro

[glad sentinel]

bro i hate paying for ts shit

i used to spend so much money on discord

im just gonna do it idc ill buy it

[graceful zealot]

i paid for it for 2 years

then i was like

is a banner really worth $100 cry

[meager bloom]

Omg

I want nitro but I refuse to pay

[waxen quartz]

I mean if its all good for you then sure
But if some class is only at barnard can a guy take it?
are there even barnard exclusive classes or only vice versa

[waxen quartz]

Lmao why

Also sorry if this comes off uninformed but art humanities in the core curriculum is that a mandate bc in Uchicago core you have the art requirement but are able to take film studies as the req

[fast parcel]

Yeah a guy can take barnard classes

We also share dining halls and clubs

The only Barnard classes that are exclusive are like barnard core classes like pe or first year seminar

Same with Columbia I think

[blazing ore]

Wait what math are you guys taking

[meager bloom]

Whatt

[meager bloom]

Don't wanna go broke

[waxen quartz]

I meant why nitro 😭
isnt it mainly for file size

[fast parcel]

Yeah anyone at Columbia can take Barnard classes and vice versa

[meager bloom]

Isn't that to get the cool pfp and banners?

[meager bloom]

I didnt think they'd let men take courses at Barnard lol

When my mom went she told me they weren't allowed to

[hollow tide]

lol I took a few

[willow sparrow]

i think if barnard can take classes at CC, then denying some CC students access to barnard is probably a title ix violation

[fast parcel]

Our campuses are very much integrated

[meager bloom]

Oh

[glad sentinel]

wow 💔

[meager bloom]

I'm sorry 😭

[autumn minnow]

when i met the founder of discord, he told me the really funny thing about nitro is that they invented it purely because discord seemed "too good to be true".

because it was free w/ no paid option, it had the appearance that they were selling data (they were not, they were just subsidizing costs with venture money).

so they added nitro purely as a button to click so it seemed like there was a monetization strategy and made up a bunch of random perks.

and then turns out it was so successful now nitro is expensive and makes them all their money

[meager bloom]

Omg u got to meet thr founder
Thats so cool

Lol

[autumn minnow]

pretty cool guy

[meager bloom]

Its definitely super successful

[graceful zealot]

i thought this was a linkedin copy paste at first but actually that’s interesting

[wary forge]

[ocean herald]

[wary forge]

[ocean herald]

Oh

[glad sentinel]

[meager bloom]

So barnsrd never updated my fin aid even tho I submitted it Jan 10th before the deadline of the 15th

I emailed them and they never responded.....

I dont want my aid to be delayed ToT I'm not sure what to do

[untold ore]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP85x59Kd/

why does the dining look so good bruh

[potent rampart]

Me too! I submitted my documents before or on Jan 15th and they have not been updated

I think perhaps they haven’t gotten to it

[meager bloom]

I'm hoping that's the case

They said wait a week and still nothing

[potent rampart]

Yeah, I wrote an email to the financial aid office yesterday so we’ll see how it goes

[meager bloom]

I emailed them a week ish ago jo response yet

[potent rampart]

the fin aid office or the undergrad admissions office??

[meager bloom]

Fin aid

[potent rampart]

me too

ig well just have to wait and see

[graceful zealot]

how do you do the columbia outside scholarship form

because i don’t have any YET

but i think i will in may

[glad sentinel]

mine was empty and thats all i submitted

sooo

maybe they wont come after me if i get some later in the spring

[graceful zealot]

i lowk have a real issue

my uncle has money for my twin brother and i

National Merit?

[graceful zealot]

no but scholarships for my high school

like small $500 ones

[ocean herald]

Oh ic

Nah those prob don't matter...

Cause u get them after ur decision so

This probably just for if you already received smth

[limpid vortex]

when do likely letters usually come out>?

[pliant cobalt]

march

[ionic remnant]

mine was a few days to a week before decisions came out I think

columbia sends kind of a lot of likelies, I think like 10% of the class get them (don’t quote me on that, I remember seeing that stat a while ago but I can’t find it now)

[willow sparrow]

yeah when i engage in my addiction (college decision videos), i see a lot of columbia likely letters

[ionic remnant]

https://www.wikicu.com/Columbia_Undergraduate_Scholars_Program#:~:text=The Columbia Undergraduate Scholars Program (CUSP) oversees,a governing board called the CUSP Alliance. this says 100 ppl per class which is closer to 5% mb

[glad sentinel]

u have like a .0035% chance of getting one so i would not count on it

thats an exaggeration probably but

statistically ur so unlikely

[rough radish]

Maybe compared to the size of their class but compared to their overall admission rate within the applicant pool it’s tiny

Every year like clockwork a2cers flip abt likely letters and every year many who flipped abt being cooked for not getting them get in anyways

They treat it like a mini decision release date when imo it should not be

[near whale]

this better be me 😭 🤞

i'm fried

[astral river]

how do i fill out the Columbia University Outside Scholarship and External Payment Form ? Do i print it, fill it out, and then send a picture onto idoc

[celest ocean]

You can edit it

After clicking on the thing

No need to print

[meager bloom]

Barnard fin still hasn't updated my portal 😀

Nor a response to my email

[astral river]

Where do I edit? On the Idoc or i look it up

[willow sparrow]

i just met someone who was one

[autumn minnow]

[glossy cedar]

lowk just praying for one of those two so i dont have to experience the impending doom that is march 26 😭

[glossy cedar]

has anyone else had this experience, i emailed the admissions email about adding some new honors to my application (my portal is still on ed decision letter so i dont have the option to add it there) but its been 5 days and i havent received any email/confirmation about it. the other schools that i had to email responded within 2 days either saying they could or couldn't add those awards to my applcation.
do u guys think this is just bc of the nature of the situation (they dont usually get these updates through email since most applicants have the ability to submit it through a thing on the portal) or should i follow up?

[narrow sun]

i'd say follow up, but ya they don't usually update via email.

[willow sparrow]

this is what a loci is for

[glossy cedar]
