Haha, the benefit to being on the West Coast! I'm hoping to wake up to an email

I made the utter mistake of promising to help a friend write a bunch of article summaries, and I need to get them done today. What was I thinking? I'd rather go on a hike or to the beach to calm my nerves. I don't want to be glued to the computer all...

Maybe they're just playing with us and want us to be pleasantly surprised. I really do need to know before the 15th because I'll need to get vacation days for visiting day in March. Fingers crossed

I want to think "by next week" means this week... But i took that as meaning sometime next week. No!

Not that I'm happy you two are suffering, but it's good to know I'm not the only wreck in the house

Seriously! I keep wondering- what if they decided to break the mold this year and decisions actually do come out in mid Feb instead of Friday. Funny... but definitely not funny.

I wish I were working on Friday. I want the distraction. Naturally my boss switched my schedule for February so I work Wednesdays instead!

all my eggs are in the Columbia basket too! I've been freaking out especially hard over the last two weeks. My friends and family know not to mention the future (as it relates to me) for the time being! Haha

Sweet. That's what I thought. Thank you : )

Anyone know the deal with the health professional/nursing CPR certification? We don't need to worry about that until we get accepted, right? Also, I feel you all. When I have downtime on my days off, I immediately start obsessing.

Ahh, so nervous... How are we going to wait 7 more weeks? No one has gotten the instructions for submitting fall grades, right? I was debating just sending an updated screenshot of my transcript, but the emails said they'll provide instructions

You're not the only one, don't worry. I read my essay over 5 times before and after last night to make sure I didn't screw it up when I was editing (was dead tired). I think you can update your resume and transcripts, but that's it

Good, thank you! Oh, see, I didn't even submit until last night. But between 11/12 and then, I updated my resume several times. I don't plan on making any changes to my submitted app. I just thought it weird they would have the original date on there...

From the impression I got from others here, it sounded like you could submit before your references had sent in their letters but that the deadline for that is still today. In case you wanted to submit early for some reason.... Side note: Does everyo...

Happy deadline day, and good luck everyone!

Soo... anyone who's made it into the program bored today and want to look at an essay? :) I know it's a long shot at a late stage, and I don't really expect it to happen. However, I've just realized I need a completely unbiased opinion from somewhere...

One last silly logistical question for everyone before I submit. Did you all answer the prompts on the PS in order or just let your essay flow naturally? Common sense would dictate that as long as you address all components, you'd be fine. However, I...

Cool, thank you! It looks way better as a PDF too... I spent an embarrassingly long time figuring out how to combat this issue >_

Thanks for the help, both of you. It's very odd... when I'm in a Word doc, I always click "don't add a space between paragraphs of the same time. Yet when I preview, for instance, my addendum, the paragraphs look messed up, like almost on top of each...

Good idea! I'll try

Anyone know if they'll see the real document you uploaded? My resume formatting is all messed up in the preview for some reason, and I can't fix it. It looks fine in Word :/

Thanks! One more... did they say people who submit sooner are looked upon more favorably? Just curious as I was reviewing that application info email sent about a month ago, and it says "applicants are highly encouraged to submit sooner rather than l...

Hey Divalicious! Thanks for the info for us West Coasters. Did they address the following? Was the number of psych hopefuls dramatically higher than normal? Makes me nervous! Did they say anything helpful about the personal statement? Did someone ask...

Oh, another question for everyone. Say you've taken multiple courses for one category of prereq. I've taken two stats classes and two writing courses. Are you all listing every semester, or just the most recent/more advanced course?

Someone please tell me I'm not the only one applying to just Columbia. It's scary putting all my eggs in one basket, but it's where I want to go. I also haven't submitted, as the pressure of a deadline helps me do my best work :) Anyone else the same...
