I’m applying to Columbia RD! I really wanted to apply to SEAS on a pre-med track, but I keep hearing that engineering isn’t flexible and I won’t have much time to do other things in college (dance groups, clubs, etc). Is it manageable? If it is, I think it’d be really cool to be able to take the “cutting-edge” science classes.
Did anyone already submitted their ED application yet? I submitted mine last week but haven’t heard from them yet, are they supposed to give you a CUID or portal?
As far as what I’ve been told from a past applicant, we won’t get portal access until after 1 Nov.
@PilotKhyle Thank you! btw are you also applying for ED?
I’m applying ED for Columbia and I’m taking the October ACT. On Columbia’s website it says you can take testing until November for ED. I made sure that on the ACT that my scores should be sent to Columbia. Where on the Common App do i mention that i haven’t taken my ACT but it’s been directed to be sent to them? Thanks
I think there is a “future test date” on the test information section on common app, maybe you can put it there? I thought on the common app it asks for any OTHER TESTS you wish to report in addition to the ones you will send officially to the school so I just listed my AP scores for test information…Hopefully that helps! @idealni1
What I want to say? I WANT TO GO TO COLUMBIA SO FREAKING BAD, JUST LET ME GET IN EARLY SO I CAN BE DONE WITH THIS COLLEGE BS.
@TrazCapDEV Just know that you are not the only one. Try to not let everything in the world hang on this one decision. Take a few deep breathes to clear your head…
@crystallemon Yes, I am applying ED as well!
@idealni1 If I were in that position, I would just list October as a future test date! They’ll receive your scores before you do (source: an admissions officer at another U) on a disc and download it directly to your file!
Also, I don’t think that Columbia takes our self-reported scores seriously! It’s more of a test on integrity probably, as they’ll be receiving our OFFICIAL test scores anyways!
All throughout the application process:
•Do they like me?
•Am I good enough?
•I’ll be fine!
•I’ve got this!
•It’s due in two weeks…
•Oh shoot my essay isn’t good enough
•cries lol
@skieurope Is there any way possible to include (ED) in the thread title? Thank you!
@PilotKhyle I changed the thread title and pinned to the top.
@skieurope Thank you very much!
Hi guys! I’m looking to apply to Columbia ED as well. I’m just curious, where are you guys from? I’m from the Hudson Valley in New York
Hi, just applied ED a couple of days ago from Singapore. I applied to CC as a sustainable development major. Good luck to everyone else applying!
From Shanghai but go to school in the States. Good Luck everyone!

@PilotKhyle @crystallemon thanks guys for replying to my question, just by your answers I feel relieved. But do i still submit my scores for the September ACT. It kind of feels weird sending out an application with no scores.
