At 5 p.m., early decision applicants to Barnard will learn whether they've been accepted to the Class of 2016. Columbia ED applicants found out last Thursday. If you're making your way here from a high school somewhere around the globe and you're part of the Class of 2016, welcome! We're so thrilled you're coming to Morningside Heights next year. Stay in touch with 116th Street and Broadway before you arrive on campus by checking Spectrum—what you're reading right now—and Spectator, which won't publish regularly again until Jan. 17 but, during the school year, is the daily student newspaper of the campus and the surrounding neighborhood.
Sara Garner, SEAS '15 and an incoming staff developer in Spectator's Online section, and Rebeka Cohan, BC '14 and one of Spectator's incoming sports editors, welcome you after the jump, with two letters: one to Columbia, and one to Barnard.
