After yesterday’s celebratory sendoff, the Admissions Department put out stats for the early decision round of applications for CC/SEAS 2014. According to a statement from Admissions Director Jessica Marinaccio, applications for early decision increased by only 2%, to 2995; only 631 were accepted, for an admit rate of 21%.
As for geographical diversity, “the CC and SEAS class includes students from 41 states including Alabama, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico, and South Carolina as well as some of our major market areas (New York metro area, California, Massachusetts, Florida, Maryland and Illinois).” Students from 25 other countries were also accepted, including “Bahrain, Belarus, Ethiopia, Greece, Jordan and Vietnam.” Our only request for the new Columbians: start suffering from senioritis as soon as you can acquire it.

@@Diane sometimes.
@Diane My daughter was deferred on ED. Do you have any stats as to how often a deferred student is later accepted?
@'13 I haven’t yet met anyone here who was deferred and then accepted
@Person Yeah, I’ve known people who were deferred but accepted in the spring. The waitlist is an unequivocal no, though.
@not true i know a good number of people who got in off the waitlist.
@Anonymous I know someone who was put on the wait list and then accepted.
@'12 I was on the wait list and then got accepted, but that was apparently a really strange year where admissions offices really messed up their quotas. I’m the worst of the best!
@yeah man same here. wait list represent
@for real What about the District of Columbia? You need some students from the future New Columbia* at Columbia.
*yes I know it will never happen.
@Hah do we know which nine states?
@Niner Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Freedomland
@I had no idea that there was an actual Wikipedia page for senioritis. Next step: AMA.
