C's made it really easy to figure out what the necessary steps are for admits. The "to-do" list that I can use to check off items on the Admits website is great. I got my two (2), yes two (2) e-mail addresses from Columbia. Having both was a little confusing so I decided to investigate a little, see if they were s'posed to be different.
Turns out 2's normal. One's my Columbia University e-mail account -- which is basically my old University ID plus "@columbia.edu". The other's my lifetime forwarding address from the Bschool, which consists of my first initial + last name + 06 + "@gsb.columbia.edu"...this makes for a really long address in my case. But, there you have it. (Btw, my university ID is old because I created it when I did a course at C years ago)
There's still a lot left on my convenient Columbia "to-do" list: apply for private loans, purchase laptop, submit facebook pics, complete MMR & vaccination forms, etc etc etc. None of it's high priority right now and thank goodness. I'm occupied with waiting anyway! Waiting to hear from financial aid so I know how much I'll need to borrow. I decided to do it that way because I'm in the process of buying a home and would like to complete that before I apply for private loans. Some people prefer to apply for private loans at the same time they apply for federal dollars, then reduce (or increase) the loan amount.
I should be hearing from FinAid by the 15th. I know there aren't many Marketing fellowships, but I'm hoping. I'll keep y'all posted.
