<p>Does anyone know if attending High School Honors Science Prrogram is helpful for admission to Columbia College? What percentage get in? THANKS</p>
<p>I used to think SHP helped ALOT to get accepted to CC, but apparently that's not true anymore. I know of 2 SHP kids in my grade at high school that were both very smart, had high SATs and SAT IIs (one of them even went to the MIT RSI program), yet both of them were rejected at Columbia. Of course I know of SHP kids that were admitted too. Right now, my opinion is that it helps but even with high SATs, it certainly shouldn't be viewed as a shoe-in.</p>
<p>If anything, those applicants are labelled as "SHP applicants" to Columbia College during the admissions process. CC might place a limit on the % of SHP kids that they want to admit.</p>
<p>It absolutely does not help.</p>
