Thanks for all your insight, Golden Rule. I thought your post about the first semester was very interesting; would you mind giving us your thoughts on the second semester, either now or when it's over?
Yes, I'm curious, too. I mean, I suppose those in this thread had some favorable impressions overall, because you'd probably choose a different school otherwise, but any insights would be appreciated.
Maybe they're offering you something different, Cph. I got the e-mail with all the addresses, as I reported in the Columbia decisions thread, but since I know that Yale did something similar awhile back, it didn't really faze me.
Jody Johnson just sent out an e-mail to (if my FF extension works correctly) its 57 prospective fully-funded students, mentioning the value of full funding as reported by anukriti upthread.
Open house is on March 29th, and they're willing to refund up to $350 of travel expenses as long as one matriculates.
Columbia hasn't actually mailed out the letters, though, has it? It's nice to have e-mail confirmation, but I would really like to get details via the official letter.
