Reapplication strategy?

Hi Stacy, Know you get a lot of requests to assess candidates, but I was hoping you might help here as well. My situation is this: After getting dinged at all four schools I applied to last year (one interview), I am gearing up for the reapplication process. I am aiming for a top 10 or so program, b...

This may not be exactly appropriate for this particular forum, but I was wondering if anyone out there who applied early decision to Columbia this year could tell me whether they were notified early enough (dinged I suppose) to still submit Round 1 apps to other schools?
