<p>Question: Did y’all attach resumes in additional information? If so, how did you format them and how in-depth did you go?</p>
<p>i have a question about the supplement, you know how it says to use commas but to NOT press enter between responses? does that mean after the comma there should be no space as well…?</p>
<p>like if we had these two books
would it look like this:</p>
<p>The Catcher in the Rye, The Grapes of Wrath</p>
<p>or like this: (without a space/without pressing enter)
The Catcher in the Rye,The Grapes of Wrath</p>
<p>please clear this up as i hear that columbia is VERY nitpicky with this stuff…i know a friend a few years ago who go rejected because his teacher folded his recommendation when they clearly had said to not fold it… :/</p>
<p>THANKS GUYS :D</p>
<p>cyanidic: I’m planning to submit an extracurricular resume; they just don’t give you enough space on the Common App. I’m going into detail about my activities (how long, what I’ve done, what I’ve accomplished) and I’m adding a paragraph after the most meaningful ones on why I love them.</p>
<p>bloodymary: I don’t think they’ll care. Where did you hear that they were picky? (or is it just me and it’s a common fact?) If they really are insensitive enough to reject applicants based on if they put a space after their commas in a list or if their teacher folded a piece of paper…well, then I think we’d all deserve better. But personally, on my EA application to Stanford they ask the same question, and I didn’t use spaces because I had too many books/movies to fit with spaces.</p>
<p>ED to CC in Chem or Bio.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You know for sure that that is why your friend was rejected? I am quite skeptical</p>
<p>@ bloodymary: don’t the teachers have to fold it and put it in an envelope?</p>
<p>cyanidic, lol, I am applying ED for Neuro and Behavior too. :F</p>
<p>But since there was not anyone who was accepted from my school, I don’t think I have any chances.</p>
<p>how much students do you guys think will apply as ED this year?</p>
<p>probably around the same as last year. the switch to the common app, i think, will increase the RD pool, definitely, but i think the ED pool will stay about the same.</p>
<p>Hey, what’s this about applicants getting rejected because of the rec’s being folded? My teachers put them in thin envelopes so they folded them. Should I tell them to do them again without folding (please no!!!)??</p>
<p>Everybody, how do your teachers send them?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that envelopes are fine. In order to put them in envelopes, you have to fold them. </p>
<p>It seems pretty stupid that someone would get rejected because the letters are folded.</p>
<p>OMG, you are over-thinking way too much and acting stupidly irrational.</p>
<p>I’m applying ED to Columbia and I go to a school that uses the trimester system. Does anyone know if Columbia wants to see the grades for the first trimester for ED applicants? The grades usually get in around November 20th.</p>
<p>GUYS I’m worried. I mailed out my counselor-component ED agreement awhile ago, but I realized my signature was kind of sloppy! I mean, the N was slanted more than 30 degrees, and the F could be seen as an I! I don’t know what to do. Should I call Columbia and have them fix this terrible error?</p>
<p>Seriously guys. Everyone needs to chill out. It’s all about what you write, and what’s written about you. Don’t worry about font-choices for essays, or friggen’ whether or not your teacher recommendations are folded. Stuff. Like. This. Doesn’t. Matter.</p>
<p>^Haha! I assure you I generally do not perform similar exhibitions of stupidity very often. Such malfunctions occur very rarely. :D</p>
<p>I sent my ED app today. I’m freaking out major time, haha.
And wishing I had put more effort into getting impressive ECs earlier on…
Oh well. Too late now, just gotta cross my fingers & hope the adcoms are in a good mood when they look at my app.</p>
<p>how do we know when they’ve started reading our stuff (ED)? right now the common app just says submitted and i submitted my score reports…</p>
<p>btw question-- i signed up for the december SAT 2 after taking the october one, but I am satisfied with my october sat scores but since columbia requires all scores collegeboard submitted my not-yet-taken december scores too… will it send my other scores in time? and what will happen when i don’t show up to take the december test?</p>
<p>it’ll send your october scores in time, yes. the latest scores that they’ll accept are the ones from november. in december, they won’t get those scores in nearly enough time to make a decision. the only way it would be beneficial to you, i guess, is if you’re deferred and then they would view the scores from december in time to make a decision. but surely you don’t want that…</p>
<p>Applied ED yesterday. So excited! Really hoping to get in, but not sure if I quite make the cut? I don’t really have any rediculously impressive lab studies or anything like that, but maybe since im applying computer science it won’t matter? Are most lab study programs more generated to chemists and chemical engineers etc?</p>

<p>Even though this reminds me of myself…I’m a very paranoid person when it comes to education-related materials…this made me laugh a lot “…more than 30 degees…”. lol</p>
