Transfer Students
41

<p>I transfered from the University of Toronto in Canada.</p>

<p>Accepted to Columbia College for biochemistry.</p>

<p>EDIT
Was waitlisted last year as freshman applicant. Will be attending.</p>

42

<p>Yes, they're higher. It's because nobody wants to be an engineer, haha. That said, SEAS '09!</p>

43

<p>Do you guys remember how many essays they wanted from us on the columbia app? I know there were the two short answer (why columbia, and why do you want to transfer), but was there another? I forgot...</p>

44

<p>There was a personal statement, why you want to leave your current school, why Columbia, and for engineers, why engineering.</p>

45

<p>ok thanks. I was just trying to recall which essays I had submitted.</p>

<p>I am going to dress my babies in these when I have some.</p>

<p>who would have the nerve to buy <a href="http://www.ivysport.com/product-product_id/20/category_id/129%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ivysport.com/product-product_id/20/category_id/129&lt;/a>
?</p>

<p>I actually saw somebody wearing that on campus (I assume it was a firstyear). Such arrogance...</p>

50

<p>A friend from high school has a shirt with "Got Ivy?" on the front and Brown on the back.</p>

51

<p>Does anyone know when the deposit is due? Thanks.</p>

52

<p>I'm pretty sure June 3rd.</p>

53

<p>Where are the freaking letters?</p>

54

<p>Layla, you mean the admissions package?</p>

<p>You should get yours shortly. I got mine on May 11 and I live in Canada.</p>

55

57

<p>why, pray tell, did you want to transfer from barnard to columbia?</p>

58

<p>Got my admissions package yesterday, but I live very close to NYC</p>

59

<p>Oh please, the number of times I've heard Columbia students say "Can we just bulldoze Barnard?" would make such a question as "why would you transfer from Barnard to Columbia" a bit obvious - not that it's the best motivation, but there are definitely positive aspects to doing so. Too bad guys don't have an affiliate college to go to . . .</p>

<p>question: how many transfer students does columbia accept into the college?</p>
