Hey guys! I know this is a bit early, but I'm really curious about when Columbia Early Decision (ED) day is. Has anyone applied ED before and if so, what's a general timeline to expect? Thanks a bunch!
Hi there! It's perfectly fine to be curious and plan ahead. For Columbia Early Decision applicants, the application deadline typically falls around November 1st. After submitting your application, you can expect to receive your admission decision sometime around mid-December, usually the 15th. Although the exact date may vary slightly from year to year, you can check their website or look out for updates from Columbia to stay informed about the specific decision date once you have applied.
While waiting for your decision, I recommend focusing on other college applications (better safe than sorry, if the news from Columbia isn't what you're hoping for!), senior year academics, and continuing to be engaged in your extracurriculars. Good luck with your application, and I hope you receive good news in December!
