International.
If it matters, Columbia is need aware for me and asked me to submit my 2022-23 tax docs in USD conversions on Feb 15th

222

That sounds like a good sign for you then!

223

I have 3 too. One permanent address. Two mailing addresses. Didnā€™t get a likely from Columbia, but I got one from Cornell.

So is having three addresses for intā€™ls and two addresses for domestics a good sign? Assuming you only submitted one into commonapp ofc.

225

Iā€™m a domestic student but living abroad. My addresses are international

Did you submit the tax returns for the year covering most of 2021? And was this an added requirement?

228

Hopefully

229

I already did thatā€¦ So i submitted march 2021-june 2022ā€¦ They then asked me for June 2022-feb 2023 (whatever wad there)

Same here! (International). It happened to me in Dukeā€™s portal as well; the only relation I could think of between Duke and Columbia is that they both use Slate (another relation could be that I got into both, but thatā€™s not likely at all). The only detail, however, is that in Duke I can see three addresses, while in Columbia I can only see two, although if I click on Edit Addresses, then I see three of them.

231

Did you get an interview? My son did, hoping he has a chance :crossed_fingers: good luck

232

Well, all schools use slate. But theyā€™re handled differently

If multiple people on here have 3 international addresses then most likely itā€™s not indicative of anything

234

3 isnā€™t a big sample size, really

235

I documented the number of addresses for multiple schools about a year ago, and Columbia had 2 addresses then, although only 1 was submitted at the time of application.

236

Guys it means no absolute thing. The only school that had a glitch about the number of addresses was Stanford and it was corrected last year, I think. Stop imagining those scenarios for all schools.

I had three addresses at the start when I submitted in common app. It doesnā€™t mean anything I think

My son hasnā€™t received a likely letter. yet. Does it mean that he has no chance and will be rejected?

240

No. Many people that do get in donā€™t get likely letters. You still got a great shot!
