Columbia Class of 2020 RD Thread

How many print, publications, and websites did you guys list? I’m at around 10, is that enough

That should be fine I think I put like 8

Well, I just realized that in my last supplement, I started a sentence, stopped mid-word, forgot about it, and then started another sentence. It looks kind of terrible. I already sent the application. I’m honestly not that surprised because I do have the tendency to do things like that, but I am surprised that I didn’t notice it beforehand. I had multiple people proofread the essay before I sent it, and no one noticed.

It’s blatantly obvious and the admissions officers are sure to notice. I had to email the office about a question anyway so I just kind of mentioned it with that. I’m honestly just so pissed off with myself right now, although I’m not completely shocked.

does anyone know if non fine arts majors submit visual arts supplements?

@Zeppelin7 thank you! @w3irdfish3s Yes, non fine arts majors can submit art supplements. In the members questions area of the common app, there’s a button to indicate if your submitting an arts supplement. Once you indicate yes, there will be a new tab under Columbia University that says “portfolio” and the link should take you to the slideroom.

just submitted… and now the wait!

Submitted app for Columbia College. Let’s see what happens…Good luck to everyone else!

My portal came out early December, it’s possible that they’re already reviewing. Best of luck to all of you!!!

Should you submit FAFSA before getting accepted or wait till you get accepted (seems like FAFSA submit deadline is before decision date)?

It seems FAFSA can only list 10 colleges. How do you submit for more than 10?

I submitted my application last week, and will be spending the next few weeks waiting with you guys. Best of luck to all! :slight_smile:

Hey guys, how do we send an update in the application to Columbia?

Guys, I submitted my commonapp on January 1. Will there be any problem? It isn’ past the deadline, right?

@Learner12388 no, it isn’t past the deadline. You’re fine

Did anyone get contacted for an interview yet? My other friends who have applied to different ivies RD are already getting contacted for these and I’m getting nervous!

@shadyconcepts - Yep, my interviewer emailed me. He hasn’t replied back, though, and it’s been a few days.

@glasshours Ah, I see! Hope he responds soon. I live in NJ and haven’t been contacted yet, but hopefully soon.

@shadyconcepts Yeah I haven’t been contacted either. They contact us right? Like we don’t have to request one or whatever on our Columbia account thing?

@Zeppelin7 Yep they request you! My friend who applied to SEAS got called by her interviewer. Hopefully we’re soon! Check your email and phone.

@glasshours hey your circumstance is exactly like mine. One student of class of 2018 contacted me a few days ago and asked for an interview. I immediately responded but it’s been four days since I emailed him and I didn’t get any response yet. Do you think we should do something? And why does a student of class 2018 interview me??? I thought it would be an alumnus that had graduated from Columbia long before? Btw I’m from Vietnam

@shadyconcepts I haven’t been contacted by almost any place. Princeton sent me the notification that someone will message me but they haven’t yet.
