Congrats! Columbia is one of my top choices, so seeing the submission that someone had gotten in has my heart pounding. My portal still just says submitted, I'm so nervous!

My first response was also an acceptance! I had a similar response, especially since I found out at 10:56pm on a Friday night! It was definitely a shock, and I kept thinking the whole weekend that there may have been some kind of mistake--especially since I didn't feel the school was one of the best fits for me. But I quickly received follow up emails from the Graduate Director and my POI, so it's finally sinking in. I'm still eager to hear back from some of the other schools I applied to (and still pretty nervous!) but I do feel like I can breathe for the first time in two months.

I'm also curious! UChicago is one of my top choices, I'm really hoping they aren't done sending out acceptances yet. Although it looks like so far it's just letters from POIs? That's disappointing, especially since they had one of the earlier deadlines :/ So far, I have only heard back from UVA, which was due two weeks later.
