@jpa0115 I’m an international applicant and I got a likely back in Feb
LL was via email today. CAS. Congrats to everyone!
@anotherdude That’s great, congrats!!! CC or SEAS?
guess that bit of hope just went down the drain heh.
CC
Hey guys, I just read on CC’s site that the Core foreign language requirement can be omitted with standardized scores. I got 800 on SAT French w/o Listening and 5 on French Language AP, that should be OK right? Would that waive the entire requirement?
How many percentage applicant receive LL?
Lol @thetsaria your questions crack me up.
Probably. But we don’t know any more than you about that. If you’re really curious, you can contact admissions for more info.
@Anonymoose3 Glad to give a laugh. I am the epitome of the insane, stressed senior comparing colleges I haven’t even been accepted to with pages-long spreadsheets and hunting down obscure facts through the deep, dark pits of 2005 College Confidential…
Damn I need to get a life.
(Then again, if I had a life, I wouldn’t get into college. Or so they say.)
Life after college admissions must be strange…
@jpa0115 SEAS
@RoselandWeighing Probably like 1% or something like that, a good amount goes to athletic recruits tho
Doesn’t the actual number hover around 400 or something for Columbia?
Well, anyway, if you’re worried you won’t get in because you haven’t received a LL, do not. Of course most acceptees don’t get them, and to be honest the way they choose who does get them is a mystery to me and most people.
Can I request to join the Facebook group with a LL? Lol
@soccerboy16 I did weeks ago but they still haven’t approved it so I guess not haha
Got my likely back in February to SEAS and a likely for the Davis Scholar. Any SEAS likelies here who got the Davis Scholar thing too?
Is this the real life?
I didn’t know there was a LL group. Is anyone else on it? Or should we start our own? Lol
@raymoo Nope, it’s just fantasy
Hey, am new here. I just wanted to post an e-mail I received from Columbia. Its killing me. Anyone else who got it. Should I be happy or not?
Dear Jackpet,
Greetings from Columbia University! The Office of Undergraduate Admissions is considering your admissions application, and we have identified you as a potential candidate for the National Opportunity Program (NOP). Students being considered for admission through NOP must meet certain criteria in order to be deemed eligible. Admission to this program is highly selective and if admitted, not only do students join a vibrant community of scholars, but they also benefit from additional academic, personal and financial support.
This need-based program provides enhanced academic and financial assistance for a select group of Columbia College and Columbia Engineering students. Support services offered by the staff of our Academic Success Programs, where NOP and other programs are housed, include:
Financial Aid: Though most NOP students graduate in four years, they are eligible for up to five years of full need-based financial aid for tuition, room, board and books. Our need-based aid is in the form of grants and work-study positions, not loans.
Summer Bridge Program: NOP students participate in a required five-week residential academic program that provides preparation for college-level courses in the areas of critical reading and analysis, formal writing, laboratory science and mathematics. Students also engage in team-building exercises and excursions in New York City to foster personal development and a sense of community.
Advising and Tutoring: Columbia’s Center for Student Advising assigns all students individual advisers who work with them closely throughout their time at Columbia to set and reach their academic goals. Students also have access to staff across the university, including the Office of Global Programs, the Center for Career Education and faculty advisers in academic departments. Additionally, NOP students are matched with peer mentors, who provide both individualized and group tutoring services and counseling on topics such as career exploration, financial independence and the transition to college life.
As part of consideration for NOP, you will be contacted to set up an interview with a current student. Instructions will come to the email address you listed on your Common Application, so it is important that you monitor that email address closely. You can expect to hear from us soon.
Its sounds very persuasive. Any helping analyzing it.
Hi @jackpet this NOP is for students who qualify as low income. There may be a residency requirement in the 5 boroughs (based on an earlier post I saw). You should definitely respond and pursue!
