<p>I was just accepted into Columbia during this ED process and I'm so excited! I want to help anyone else get into the school of my dreams so feel free to shoot me a message with your essays/questions or ask questions here, or anything else! I'm willing to help!</p>
<p>Yeah, if you don’t mind, I would definitely appreciate your feedback.</p>
<p>i posted a question on this page. Could you read my post and reply? thanks! (+ congrats!)</p>

<p>I did not have an interview, although oddly someone else from my school did. Do not worry if you don’t get an interview. If you do, just be yourself. From what my friend told me, they ask you “What else can you tell me about yourself that your application doesn’t show?” and then they just tell you about Columbia. Just don’t bomb it. They’re looking to weed out the socially awkward people, so don’t be socially awkward haha.</p>

<p>I replied, although you put the message on my profile haha. I’ll just reply here as well: Send me a message with your essay and a link to your chance post please.</p>
<p>I’m applying to Columbia RD. Is it okay if I send you two of my supplement responses for feedback?</p>
<p>Sure, personal message me with your essays. Please include the prompts so I don’t just assume what essay fits what prompt. I’ll respond as soon as possible (I’m in Spain right now, but I’ve been responding pretty quick).</p>
<p>Thanks for volunteering to help. Did you just list answers for books and publications or did you give a reason why for some of them?</p>
<p>Could you send me your essays w/ the prompts attached as well?</p>
<p>I was wondering if you could help me out with a question I had concerning admissions to Columbia College: how “grade-centric” is Columbia? A lot of the ivies such as Princeton place a huge amount of emphasis upon GPA (I mean obviously they all place a lot of emphasis upon grades but some more than others); is Columbia one of those schools? If I’ve gotten 3 B’s (1 freshman year, 1 sophomore year and 1 junior year, but my unweighted GPA is still around a 3.9) is that going to be a big deal when it comes to admissions? I also don’t have the benefit of legacy/etc (I’m an Asian female at a large public school).</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your help!</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply guys, I’ll answer those which still need answering even though the deadline has passed</p>

I just listed them.</p>

<p>Columbia takes everything into account. 3 Bs won’t kill you, they want to see a student past grades. Don’t worry</p>
<p>If I submitted my application on time but my supplement one hour late due to the time zone difference, should I e-mail the admissions office or would that just work against my favor? (What should I do?) Thank you!</p>
<p>I’m an ED admit as well - I would email or call them just to make sure you have an answer and aren’t unnecessarily freaking out/thinking everything is fine - it’d be an awful shock for you to think you were fine and then for them to be like “you submitted it late, we didn’t consider it”. So I would find out. Maybe wait a day or two, though, the phone lines (and inboxes) are probably crazy today.</p>
<p>“Please note that Columbia reserves the right to evaluate an application and render a final decision even if all pieces of the application have not been received.”</p>
<p>[Application</a> Requirements | Columbia University Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/applications/firstyear/requirements]Application”>http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/admissions/applications/firstyear/requirements)</p>
<p>Of course, that isn’t exactly reassuring… but at least you know that they won’t just ignore your application?</p>
<p>@iteot…</p>
<p>They aren’t going to evaluate and make a final decision on an application 1 hour after the deadline. They have four months to do so. These schools WANT you to apply, in my opinion they won’t void your application. But email them just to be safe like neiro said.</p>
<p>What were the strongest points of your application in your opinion? And could you tell me your scores so that I know what I should aim for?
I’m interested in applying next year :)</p>
<p>Not the OP, but also an admit - frenchstud (wow, confidence), I would look at the ED results thread. You’ll see that scores are pretty much all over the place (2400 rejects, sub-2000 admits), so it’s important to look at the rest of the profiles as well. People talk a lot about their strong points there as well in case you’re interested in hearing from others as well as OP.</p>
<p>@frenchstud</p>
<p>If you’re absolutely dying to know, message me. But I must tell you that Columbia is a school that can look past standardized test scores in light of something more beneficial (extracurricular, commitment, essay, etc.). I know many (including one from a city right next to mine) who had a 2400 and were rejected from Columbia 2016 ED.</p>
