Columbia Acceptees from NY

<p>What are your regent scores? I didn't take them too seriously, but now I found out that they take them into consideration for NY applicants. How much weight are they given? Any info?
Anyone not score 95+ on all?</p>

<p>Regents aren't that important, but they play a bit of a factor in admissions. I was accepted to Columbia and once got an eighty-something on a regents exam. I might have even gotten two eighty-somethings, but I really don't remember the regents that well.</p>

<p>I only took three -- then I went away to private school. I don't really remember but I think I got a 94 on bio, a 99 on Math A, and like a 92 on earth science. But Bio I took in 7th grade and for earth science I took the regents without taking the second half of the course, so yeah...</p>

<p>thanks.. anyone else?</p>

<p>I only took one -- 98, Earth Science -- which was in 8th grade.
Then I transferred to Catholic school.</p>

<p>I scored high on them except for an 84 in 10th grade. Overall, if you see a pattern of high scoring with Columbia acceptees, it is because the Regents exams are easy and Columbia acceptees tend to own them by default (I doubt they really place a strong weight on them, however, except perhaps to see if your school inflates its grades consistently.)</p>
