<p>I have already submitted the application, so I ask this question just want to make sure if I have done the right thing.</p>
<p>Here is what Columbia says on the website</p>
<p>Does Columbia allow early admission for high school juniors?
Early admission is occasionally granted to students of special promise who are completing the junior year of secondary/high school and who meet the following requirements: </p>
<p>maintained an outstanding academic record in their secondary schools;
have the physical, intellectual and emotional maturity to handle the rigorous program at Columbia;
have the full endorsement of their secondary/high schools.
Applicants for early admission should follow the normal procedure in applying, but should indicate they are applying for early admission under the Additional Information section of the online Application for Admission.</p>
<p>However, I am a little bit confused with the meaning of the normal procedure in applying....It does not say something like regular procedure(if Columiba says regular,,I would have applied regular decision,but it doesn't), so I applied ED since Columbia is my 1st choice..In my opinion, I have done great job at school (4.0 UW GPA and some possibly impressive ECs),not bad in SATs and most importantly, I have filed all the application materials and submitted them on time....I think that can be some kind of normal....</p>
<p>What do you guys think about my problems..Do you think juniors can apply early decision?</p>
<p>thx alot</p>
