Columbia Class of 2021 ED Applicant Thread

Hey guys I’m an international student (Ethiopia) applying ED too :slight_smile: anyway I read somewhere that financial aid packages are lower when applying ED any thoughts on this?

@thespotlessmind
I hope not :frowning: I need like the most aid I can get

feel free to message me any questions

How’s everyone’s application going? Less than two months till the deadline!

It’s going i guess…

Are you retaking the SAT or ACT, I’m taking the ACT again in September and I’m worried

Columbia’s website says it requires an essay indicating if you’re applying to the college or school of engineering and related questions about your particular interest in an academic field. I can’t find this essay prompt on the Common App. Anyone know about it?

It’s the last supplement question for CU on common app, it basically just asks “why your major?”

Taking both for the first time on October screams internally

Good Luck! @thespotlessmind

Thanks! You too :slight_smile:

I haven’t even started on most of the supplements yet :-S

When are you guys planning to send in your application?

@AllyssXx prob like a week b4 november 1st

@y0l0lsen Ahh ok ^^ Yeah I was thinking the same. Thanks :smiley:

Yeah definitely no time soon…lol

Hey! I am a international student applying from the Ukraine!

Has anyone applied yet? I am wondering about the interviews…

Hey! Did you do an interview?

I think they offer interviews after you submit your application

I would totally apply here, but given its alarmingly low admissions rate and my relatively lower stats, I feel like I have no chance here to begin with, which is why I’m applying Early Decision to Cornell (number 2 on my list of dream schools, absolutely LOVE it there too). Good luck guys!
