<p>if so can you tell me your stats, around when you were notified to conduct an interview, basically any information that would be of value to me (I am applying to Columbia and I am hoping for HEOP/NOP). Please this would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter how low your income is as long as it’s under 26k for 4 people, 30k for 5 people. I know many kids that go to heop columbia, and they have a requirement of 700+ in math and around 600 for reading. Your grades aren’t too well and I highly doubt you’ll make it in heop.</p>
<p>OP also goes to a very competitive high school, part of the story you didn’t know.</p>
<p>to the OP - you need to stop with this. you have had your question answered. if you really are this anxious/nervous, then i suggest getting away from the computer and stop posting or reposting the same question.</p>
<p>Yea you are right. The thing is Columbia is very important to me and this process seems unbearably long. But you are absolutely right, I do need to get away from this site for a while. Please understand though, I didn’t mean to bother you in any way. If I did, I am sorry. :(</p>
<p>you didn’t bother me, i just know it can get consuming (i was trying to help), and well i hope i wasn’t too harsh. things will work out, at this point you can’t do much more, and unless there is a HEOP kid on this board, not many of us can tell you much, and that kid might not be helpful because they are coming from a different context.</p>
<p>I am not sure if you got into Columbia HEOP or not, but your stats were pretty good and you had a good chance of getting into HEOP. My stats are very similar to yours and I got into Columbia through HEOP. I guess it all counts on the competition of the year you are applying and how many qualify for HEOP that year. </p>
<p>Future Columbia applicants, if you get a call saying you qualify for HEOP, take it as a good sign and a good chance of being accepted into Columbia through the program. From what I heard there are more or less 60 seats reserved for HEOP students in Columbia. 30 for the Columbia College and 30 for the Fu Foundation Engineering School. I am warning you though that there is a rigorous summer program involved that lasts about a month.</p>
