Columbia ED Applicants

<p>I was accepted but i’m really confused as to why??? My SAT scores are good i guess but I haven’t really accomplished any major projects in the past 4 years… honestly i always thought i was really mediocre and i’m not at the top of my class so uh i’m a little confused and i hope this is not a mistake</p>

<p>Roughly what did you write your essays about?</p>

<p>Like I feel the same way (good SATs, decent academics) but my essays were really nothing special or quirky and I’m confused as to why I was accepted.</p>

<p>I bet you deserved your acceptance though!</p>

<p>hey newly admitted '18ers/newly bitter people who will be '18ers at another school because admissions is a crapshoot, I’m an editor over at Bwog, Columbia’s main campus gossip/news/procrastination tool. because we’re sick of hearing about how the model CU student is taking 7 classes, curing cancer, and eating three square meals a day plus sleeping eight hours a night, we at Bwog have taken it upon ourselves to present a slightly…different view on the typical day. By asking our staff. we’re putting a new staffer’s schedule up each day, so check it out while you’re procrastinating on finals/still super excited about everything Columbia. here’s the first one: [Day</a> In The Life: First Year With A Job! | Bwog](<a href=“http://bwog.com/2013/12/12/day-in-the-life-first-year-with-a-job/]Day”>Day In The Life: First Year With A Job! - Bwog)</p>

<p>@itdoesdeath - Thank you for that! Its a much needed dose of reality :wink: </p>

<p>@reeeee - I wrote about the community garden I had founded and Jack Kerouac’s ‘On the Road’ for the two prompt based questions. My list of publications and cultural events was very eclectic and gave off a sense of my personality. I had fun with it, and wasn’t afraid to make jokes or pop culture puns, and I guess they liked that! I made it very obvious that Columbia and I were meant to be, and I wasn’t afraid to show a playful side along with the serious, uber intense student :)</p>

<p>Deferred !! Ahh I’m hoping in march that I’m getting accepted!! #sigh</p>

<p>36 ACT accepted!! holy **** this is unreal</p>

<p>Accepted. Could not be more grateful.</p>

<p>Accepted! I’m thrilled man. I wish there was a facebook group or something so people could get talking or whatever.</p>

<p>Deferred and ecstatic! 2240 SAT (680-CR, 800-MATH, 760 WR), 690 Latin, and 730 Chem. I know. I don’t know how I was not rejected. </p>

<p>To those accepted, congratulations! I bet you deserved it and I am genuinely happy for you even though we’ve never met. </p>

<p>To those deferred, you should be proud because I know that Columbia rejects 60% of their ED applicants, accept 20%, and defer 20%. You were in that 20%! That’s freaking awesome! Be proud. </p>

<p>To those rejected, again, Columbia rejected 60%! That A LOT of qualified applicants. There are so many other great schools out there for you. </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Those accepted. The welcome site is working now!</p>

<p>@Gelila11 There is a FB group for admitted students, check for a link on the welcome site</p>

<p>Lol thanks @ambirkel
This FB group is pretty good for getting advice from current students, but not so great about getting us all to get to know eachother.</p>

<p>Hi everyone!</p>

<p>Congratulations to all of you who have been accepted to Columbia ED. I was wondering if any of you are one of the four named scholars at Columbia. If so, did you receive the notification that you’re a scholar only online or by mail? Do ED applicants get considered for named scholarships at all?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
