waiting on a letter from Columbia.. yale??

HYPEractiveTTU · Feb 1, 2007

I think this was stated earlier, but the letter is just a thin envelope. I was offered a spot on the wait-list for the 2005 class (mailed in a thin envelope), and was ultimately rejected but encouraged to reapply. I reapplied the next year and saw that same thin envelope in Feb... I thought it was either another wait list offer, or a rejection, but I got in!

Good luck to everyone! There are a bunch of former and current ETPers (like myself), along with traditional Masters and DrNP students, who are appreciative of all the advise that we received here. So ask whatever is on your mind...

OK..so i just recieved an email saying that my decision letter was sent out today, Feb 1st!!! Which means I may get it sooner thant I thought since I am in NYC. Perhaps Sat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Did anyone else get an email ? :uhoh3:

Got the same email. I guess what's done is done! I bet you will get it on Saturday. Depends what time they mailed them.

I just got an email from Columbia letting me know that my decision letter has been mailed. They won't tell people over the phone or email, but I assume they'll email everyone about their decision letters so people can be on the lookout in the mail. But if you're like me, you check your mailbox three or four times a day anyways! :)

According to Gmail, the email re: the letter was sent at around 5PM, which means that the letters were either not picked up, or were picked up by the 5PM carrier. If the latter situation is true, I believe that people living in NYC may have the letter on Saturday!!!! :)

So you think that if we live in NYC, we won't get the letter until Saturday? I was hoping that we might have a chance to get it tomorrow. That just means one extra day of feeling nauseated until we finally get the letters, I guess. I hope that all of you who have posted get the responses that you all are looking for! By the way, do any of you know the exact admissions statistics for Columbia? So that way, if I get rejected, I can know just how bad I should feel about it

here's a site i found regarding admissions statistics. although it's only up until 2005. on a slightly positive note--the acceptance rates were all above 50%!
