Columbia ED Chances for SHPers

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>An interesting side note. I calculated, for the hell of it, the average acceptance rate for alumni of the Columbia Science Honors Program applying Early Decision to Columbia College. (Well, actually because I'm applying and I was tired of saying that I had a 106% chance, humorous as it may be.) Using the reported acceptance rates of 36% for Early Decision applicants and 70% for Science Honors Program applicants, the average acceptance rate for early SHP applicants should be around 80.8%.</p>

<p>(As another side note, the Columbia SHP is quite a prestigious program. Admission is more selective than Columbia College's early admission program; last year's early acceptance rate for the college was 26%, whereas the SHP acceptance rate was about 14%, if I recall correctly. Plus, it's a lot of fun. I strongly recommend it.)</p>

<p>this is kind of unrelated, but you don't happen to know the chances of ed admission for people who did their summer high school program do you?</p>

<p>Do you really enjoy the SHP? Because I find that the classes taught there are really kinda bad.... like really really boring. I dno, maybe it was just the 3 classes I took. =&lt;/p>

<p>Well, I suppose it depends on your situation- on top of the classes, the SHP is my chance to be out and about in New York for as much time as I want to, so I definately enjoy it.</p>

<p>Which classes did you take? I'm enjoying Cosmology, and I enjoyed Number Theory and Symmetry, but I have heard that some classes (like Organic Chem) are extremely boring.</p>
