<p>Thanks for the input, I kinda regret talking about that, now. I was thinking "They'll appreciate my honesty", but I forgot that, heck these admissions officers are people to. Criticizing the application process (though I was trying to illustrate a personal expereince) probably was too risky of a choice.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking my comments in the spirit in which they were meant, as helpful for your next round of applications. Good luck! You will get in somewhere great and I have no doubt you'll do well there. I hope it's Columbia!</p>
<p>guys what's seas and cc?</p>
<p>seas is the school of engineering..... something and cc is columbia college...</p>
<p>say for example if someone doesn't get into CC ED , can that person apply for SEAS RD?</p>
<p>Yep, SEAS = School of Engineering and Applied Sciences</p>
<p>Hey everybody,</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got in and to those who didn't I'm so sorry and I'm sure that it really is for the best. Just try again in a few months and if that doesn't work then I'm sure that each of you will find a school that you love just as much . And to all my future classmates of the Class of 2010 I can't wait to meet everyone next year. Congrats and GO LIONS!</p>
<p>IvyLeague99: I'm pretty sure you can't.</p>
<p>I noticed that many of the people that got accepted attends a private school, is an international student, or is a URM. what the ****.</p>
<p>lol guyz i no columbiarocks personally he goes 2 my school and he isnt lying about that stuffs lol and according to him he did some brownnosing on the interview so i highly doubt arrogance playd a role also he said he went out 2 lunch with the president once or twice and the pres told him wut to write in essays and such regardless rejected = *** lol he shud have been deferred @ least ya no? o well lol evry1 in our school is getting rejected lol so maybe its the curse of our class (we're the stupidest class out of the last 2 years and the upcoming seniors) lmao</p>

<p>Subjective:
Essays:very good, creative, etc. i'm a writer and everybody who read them loved them
Teacher Recs: didn't read them, but i think they must be pretty good

<p>Other Factors:
General Comments:in the past CC admitted ED applicants from my school on RD..there are 2 other people from my school who applied and both got rejected..guess i'm lucky. however, there're many people applying on RD with better sats&gpa and i'm kind of scared..hope they'll remeber "my enthusiasm". you guys really inspired me and i'm planning on sending CC letters, essays, etc. to charm them...can't imagine studying somewhere else.. anyway, does any of you know of any international students (non-canadian&us) who got accepted on ED and needed financial aid..just wondering..</p>
<p>I got into SEAS class of 2010.
I don't know how I got in. My stats are horrible.
SAT: 570V, 740M, 630W.
SAT2s: 800Math2, 740BiologyE, 730Chemistry.
GPA: 96.76/100
Rank: 21/325
School: really crappy...but its considered one of the top in the city. (public schools (except for those specialized ones) in NYC sucks really badly)
Activities: Nothing much really. A few community service, jobs, student gov't, etc. Some science research internships. Nothing remarkable.
Essay: I like my essay. But i wouldn't say its extraordinary.
Recs: Didn't read it, but i guess its good.</p>
<p>Good luck to those RD and deferred. Anything is possible.</p>
<p>"As a current Freshman, I remember this day last year. Congratulations and a warm welcome to the Columbia University family. You all earned your way here and the reward is better than anticipated.</p>
<p>As for those who got deferred, do not give up and I wish you the best of luck in the RD round.</p>
<p>For those who got rejected, do not take this as a sign of your abilities. Some schools are not a match and in the end, everything does work out. I can tell you this from experience with friends from last year.</p>
<p>Best of luck to all and for those who were accepted, Congratulations and welcome!</p>
<p>Sincerely,

<p>Def agree with jaug.
He is right.
From my experience, I can tell you that it is def not the end of the world if you got rejected ED.
Hang in there...
Everyone has their own path. Don't despair.
Congratulations to everyone that got in.</p>
