<p>I’m applying… and I’m nervous!!! ED!!! NOV FIRST is creepin up like something that creeps… lol for real.</p>
<p>RD applicant to Columbia :)</p>
<p>I just sent my app ED to CC 
does anyone know if Columbia asks for first quarter grades before deciding on admission if you are applying early decision?</p>
<p>^ i’d like to know this as well cause i just got two B’s in both my ap classes for the first marking period D:</p>
<p>Generally, when you’re applying to ED/EA programs, they would like to see your first quarter grades. I know Duke specifically requires them for its ED applicants.</p>
<p>well, they were high B’s, but i guess that doesn’t help me much. a b is a b ;__;</p>
<p>at least i got a’s in all of my other classes. but they get a midyear report too don’t they? i only allow myself to get two B’s a year anyway. ffffuuuu</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, they do.</p>
<p>don;t worry, Bs won’t kill you. It’s more about the fact that you are challenging yourself by taking AP courses</p>
<p>ahh, that’s good to hear.</p>
<p>it’s a little intimidating though, seeing how many ap’s some of the people on here take. my school doesn’t offer very many at all. and i’ve taken/am taking all of the ones they offer except for AP calc. but i’m making up for it by taking college algebra next semester. </p>
<p>also, do you know whether it’s true that they mostly focus on your junior year as far as grades? i mean, i’ve had all honors classes and or AP classes for all 4 years, but i’m a bit ashamed to say that years like my soph year weren’t my best (a 3.5. -shudder- haha) but i know that as long as i show improvement i’m all good right? luckily, from soph to junior, i jumped up from a 3.5 to a very haughty 4.5. </p>
<p>this is all so mind boggling. i feel like a little puppet trying to please customers in hopes that they will take me home. it’s amazing how much it takes from your life…</p>
<p>I’m thinking applying RD to Columbia forrrr Political Science and International Relations!
I loooove the east coast and it’s really pretty at Columbia.
…let’s just hope I get accepted -.-</p>
<p>Hello! I’m from a small public school in Ohio. Applying ED for Neuro and Behavior… the program at Columbia is amazing.</p>
<p>^ Random question, but is your username derived from the comic “Cyanide and Happiness”? I used to read it almost daily lol.</p>
<p>Love that comic! No, it’s not a reference to that, just to CN- 
But props for reading Cyanide & Happiness.</p>
<p>Just submitted my ED app last night! Applied Columbia College for Urban Studies and Political Science.</p>
<p>Anyone participated in the Columbia chat session? It was helpful! We spoke to an admissions officer and a few students currently enrolled at Columbia. They were so nice and they cleared all my doubts. </p>
<p>No, they will not modify your essays. No, they will not discuss SAT scores. No, they will not chance you. </p>
<p>Catch the next session :)</p>
<p>what did they say?</p>
<p>i’m kinda sad i didn’t catch wind of this. i mean, i knew it was happening but i didn’t get an invite or anything :(</p>
<p>quick question - after you submit part 1 of the common app, do you get a columbia ID number for the website to check the status of your app?</p>
<p>from my understanding, once you submit everything, you should get an email from them with the tracking number, which you also have to use on your FA stuff.</p>
<p>i’m guessing they send it when you app is complete. my transcripts were sent long ago, and i just sent my app yesterday, i’m guessing the only thing they are weighting for is for my score report.</p>
<p>@ icolumbiau do you know when the next columbia chat session is?</p>
<p>Yes, sure! You do need to be invited via email though because of the link and the registration. These are the times for Internationals only because I only have them. </p>
<p>@wombatlikewoah, it was 2 hours long and there was a lot said. Too much in fact: 30 people typing at once with 6 moderators trying to stay awake at 2am their time. Lol.</p>
