Just got in to Columbia! Nice after being e-jected from P'ton earlier in the day... the copious drinks i just had can now be reinterpreted: from pity party to celebration!

a little late on the response, but for all of you still wondering about YSOA, I got an acceptance email from Robert Stern on Monday, 03/10/08---FYI

acceptance from Columbia as well!!
status says incomplete, but I emailed them about that a few weeks ago...it doesn't mean anything for me, just that they didn't bother changing the status online.

also got a USC acceptance earlier this week.....

but yaaaay for all!! :)

Way to go ff33!!! And everyone else who got acceptances as well! Guessing there are a lot of people who celebrated their acceptances last night - probably going to be a lot of hung over commiserators this morning.

smith_, got my message?

Mar 15, 08 10:08 am  ·

smithwillb

yeah...so, if you got that email about the open house, it means that you got in. that's what the admissions person told me. she said they mailed the packets earlier this week. so, depending on where you live, you should receive your notice within a few days. i live in NYC, so i probably got mine a little sooner. does that make sense?

Mar 15, 08 10:13 am  ·

smithwillb

so, congratulations is what i'm trying to say.

Mar 15, 08 10:13 am  ·

Is it regular package or delivery?

Mar 15, 08 10:17 am  ·

smithwillb

not sure what you mean. but it's a large envelope that says "welcome to Cornell" on the front. it came via regular First Class mail.

Mar 15, 08 10:19 am  ·

bravobb

hehe, thanks a lot.
I mean whether it's regular post mail or delivery service like Fedex or UPS

Mar 15, 08 10:21 am  ·

bravobb

and, on what date did they send out this mail?

Mar 15, 08 10:25 am  · 
 · 
smithwillb

i'm not sure...she just said "earlier this week." she also said someone may call you. so, watch out for that too!

Does anyone know if Cornell is sending out all the acceptances at once? Did anyone get a package without getting an e-mail.

cou2 - I got the Cornell package without getting an email. Arrived yesterday, 3/14 . Good Luck!

I'm an international and Columbia doesnt offer $ to us.

Mar 15, 08 1:27 pm  ·

...it pains me to even type this, but would everyone agree that GSD, MIT, and Yale are done?

Mar 15, 08 1:30 pm  ·

ff33º

yeah,...you might get a waitlist ro something though

Mar 15, 08 1:38 pm  · 
 · 
Andrew Teng

waitlist via postal mail style. not even a waitlist email at this point, i'd wager.

Acceptees: are you gonna accept now... or wait to hear from other schools?

Mar 15, 08 1:47 pm  · 
 · 
boxy

where did you get waitlisted?

Mar 15, 08 1:49 pm  · 
 · 
Andrew Teng

I didn't get waitlisted, but I saw on Grad Cafe that someone got waitlisted via postal yesterday. So there is a minute chance someone might get the same thing on Monday, perhaps.

Mar 15, 08 1:51 pm  ·

that was at Yale btw

citrus: not worried about getting dibs on housing?

Mar 15, 08 1:54 pm  ·

boxy

i received a package from yale earlier today, but i live in nyc and it's relatively close to new haven. i'd like to make my decision as early as possible to open up space for the waitlisters, but their open house is on the 10th.

Mar 15, 08 1:55 pm  ·

citrus.grey

Yeah worried a little bit about housing I suppose but more worried about making a decision I'll regret later though.
