Do any of you know about the Columbia Advanced Studies Program?
@anotherdude no? I don’t think I was named as a scholar
Oh okay. I thought that all the LL receipients are nominated for one of the 6 named scholars 
@anotherdude - Do you have more info about the"6 scholars"? What are they called?
@anotherdude Were you nominated as a scholar?
My mailed letter was the exact same text as my LL email, just on a fancy thicker page. It’s just the one piece of paper inside the envelope.
I feel like you’re overthinking this 
Just be excited you got a LL!
Lol at this point I’ve just accepted that I’m not getting into this school or any of the others I’m still waiting on
Got a likely letter too last week! Excited to meet fellow LIONS! ROAAARR!!!
I believe it is normally part of the admission letter and not given upfront. I think Columbia is providing likelies as part of the nominating process for scholars, i.e., they are picking people to be named scholars and consider them admitted and so issue LLs.
@thetsaria hahaha. that’s probably true. 
But yeah, I was nominated for the egleston scholars program
@Anonymoose3 - John Jay Scholar, Egleston Scholar, CP Davis Scholar, John Kluge Scholars, Global Scholars and Science Research Fellows. I got nominated for the Egleston Scholars program
@anotherdude Wait, did you already get notification? How?
@frenchtoastlover I was nominated for egleston, but I still havent gotten the final decision yet. My email (which was a different email sent after the likely) said that they will release decisions in mid-march. So I assumed that they were sending the final decisions along with the physical copies of the likelies
@anotherdude Ahh, I see. Thank you!
Is it a bad sign if I never got a likely letter?
Seriously guys. Stop thinking about LLs. Only a small portion of admitted students get LLs.
Egleston scholars is specifically only for engineering applicants. There are more of them than the other scholar positions so they have a different selection process. The others get notified later.
That’s really helpful, @jamini - thanks!
@XoXdreamerXoX - I agree.
Has anyone who got a likely letter applied for aid?
@ms3108 Yes
@hershey2010 are you an international?
@clueless96 No, I’m from Pennsylvania
