Columbia Class of 2020 RD Thread

Lol yeah. It’s gotten so quiet over there now. :wink:

I’m applying RD as a Film Studies major :slight_smile:

Columbia is my reach, so I’m not expecting much but we’ll see!

I’m a deferred ED hoping for better luck in RD. Are any deferred kids submitting extra letters of rec?

@kevina90 yeah, I’m probably going to get my track coach to submit one. I also plan on submitting a follow up letter.

Anyone here from the UK? I love Columbia but am hesitant to apply RD because they’re not so generous with aid…

@LucasKovacs do you do A level and IGCSE? And really? It’s need blind to US citizens I believe.

@RerunGirl I did iGCSEs (8A*s and 2As) but not A Level, I got 40 in IB Diploma. And yes, I believe you’re right, but for international they’re need-aware. When I went to visit the campus some faculty member said they’re kind of anal haha. But I’m not sure if that’s a sufficient reason not to apply tbh, may just do it. It’s the supplement that puts me of slightly

@extrapeppermint I’m applying RD as a film studies major as well! Definitely a huge reach for me, but I’d totally regret it if I didn’t at least try.

Hello friends, I’m applying RD! I think my chances are absolutely horrendous though lol

@anon9362 same xD

Does anyone know whether Columbia College students can take classes at Columbia SEAS?

@gearsstudio Pretty sure I read somewhere you can and vice versa. I think thats with practically every college too, right?

@LucasKovacs your IG results are amazing! And what supplement r untaking about?

Another deferred ED Penn applicant here applying to Columbia RD! This is definitely my one big reach (aside from Penn which is now an RD application—not even looking at HYPS). Probably not gonna get in but I’d regret it if I didn’t try! Good luck to everyone!!

@shadyconcepts UPenn doesn’t know who they’re missing. I saw your stat page. Asian or not, you are an asset.

@RerunGirl Ahhhh thank you so much! That means a lot :x Hopefully Columbia will see you are an asset as well!!

@RerunGirl thank you! I just mean the short answer Qs. I’ll need to spend a fair amount of time on them. Are you from the UK too or…?

FL applicant here.
RD application submitted 12/26.
Good luck to all of us.

No, I’m from Ghana, and I attend an international school that teaches CIE IGSCE and A level.

For the last supplementary question about why we chose our majors, did you all mention the reasons why you chose your first, second, and third choice majors or just your first major?
