Columbia 2015 hopefuls

<p>Ok… So I just submitted my application! I actually expected to be working right up until 11:59, so I did better than I expected. Now comes the hardest part, the waiting.</p>

<p>Best of luck to all the ED applicants.</p>

<p>^ Thanks silverturtle.</p>

<p>Good luck to all EDer’s. You will love this place.</p>

Awesome! I’ve been trying to see how much undergrad research is going on there. The Taub Institute looks fantastic… my obsession lies in Alzheimer’s for sure. </p>

<p>My school sends one or two each year. I know they’re recruiting a baseball player from my school, but I’m assuming that’s a completely different situation. No one applied last year to my knowledge, but my brother and his friend from a couple years back were accepted. -fingers crossed- </p>

<p>Good luck to all EDers!</p>

<p>I’ve been losing sleep thinking about ED results ever since I submitted my application. Good luck, everyone!</p>

<p>hi everyone! i applied ED about a month ago and i’m already freaking out x.x nice to meet you all =)</p>

<p>Hey guys applied to CC early D in early Sept. I spoke to my admissions officer and she said that the early D applicant pool is about 1100 to CC. Way lower than last year so I’m shore most of us will be accepted.</p>

<p>Seriously? That can’t be right (although I hope it is) o_o Can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>well, i don’t know if it’s for sure true, click2, but like you i certainly hope it is!</p>

<p>since on average 40 or so percent of the incoming class is admitted through ED, that would put the number of those who got in through ED at 1100+ so if the ED pool is really at 1100, then the admission rate for ED will jump up like crazy. at least, crazy for columbia. i hope it’s true!</p>

<p>That’s surprising. I would think that with Columbia switching to the Common App more people would apply early?</p>

<p>Does this math make sense?</p>

<p>Class of 2014 had 43% of the class admitted early according to admission stats on Columbia website for both CC and SEAS
1805 admitted to CC overall, so approx 776 were admitted early (this is an estimate; unclear if it should be larger because 43% applies to all admitted applicants instead of only members of 2014 who accepted admission and ED must all accept admission whereas RD don’t, and because 43% maybe be lower/higher for CC since it is for both CC and SEAS)
2495 applied early to CC so about 31% early applicants to CC were admitted?</p>

<p>I applied the same reasoning to early applicants overall (so 43% is more valid) both CC and SEAS and it comes to about 34.5% ED applicants admitted, and 52% SEAS ED applicants admitted. I know it’s inexact because the 43% figure is unclear as to what it refers to</p>

<p>If the applicant pool is only around 1100, do you guys think the same rate will apply (approx 31% for CC) or just MANY more applicants will be admitted (following 43% of class admitted early)?</p>

<p>If it really is 1100 for CC this is a 55% decrease</p>

<p>I don’t think Columbia would feel forced to admit a radically higher proportion of applicants for this year’s early decision. They’re not going to relax some of the expectations or standards just to have a certain guaranteed number of students in the incoming class. I think that there will be many strong applicants on Regular Decision, too. Their ultimate goal is to admit a class with the right balance of academic strengths and diversity, not to play a numbers game by admitting a certain number of people on early.</p>

<p>I have serious suspicion Columbia09 is a ■■■■■.</p>

<p>I second that, Light Airen. If you look at his/her previous posts they say they’re a sophomore at Columbia and got admitted in '07? Or something like that…</p>

<p>Regardless of whatever Columbia09 says, do you guys think the calculations I did make sense? At least for the class of 2014</p>

<p>i just read form the nytimes website, columbia got 3,217 ed applications</p>

<p>iand i dont think it was only 1,100 to cc :/</p>

<p>I am one of the 3217 ED applicants.</p>
