<p>Im filling out my part two application for Columbia College Regular Decision. I need help filling out some answers, and I was wondering if anyone can read over my Columbia essay and responses, preferably people with 2100's range SATs and like 3.7-3.8 GPAs. Please give me ur SNs, and my SN is aszx5527. Please!!!</p>
<p>Hey all,
I am currently a freshman at Columbia (CC 09) so I know how you must all be feeling. I want to assure all deferrees that it is not over! I applied regular decision, was waitlisted, and thought I was off to Brown, but, almost daily, emailed my regional admissions officer and begged him to let me in with reasons I love Columbia, what I could offer, some other really ridiculous things, and I got in mid-May. So don't let Columbia forget about you! Pursue your admission. HTH</p>
<p>Hi all,
Argh I came back from a vacation last week to find I'd been deferred. Thank goodness I started on my other apps, but I've gotta finish them now... well good luck to all the deferred.</p>
<p>I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia Univ. in 1975. My son wishes to apply to Columbia. Would he be considered a legacy?</p>
<p>no. ten ch</p>
<p>what does "no ten ch" mean?</p>
<p>his/her response was "no", and "ten ch" means that to post something it must be ten characters long, so he included "ten ch" to meet the minimum length requirement for a post</p>
<p>coumbia cc!</p>
<p>and im in baby, heck yes</p>
<p>What does SEAS stand for?</p>
<p>"What does SEAS stand for?"</p>
<p>School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. It's the Columbia Fu Foundation basically.</p>
<p>Is it likely that some of the people who were accepted here ED would be rejected RD?</p>

<p>Absolutely not. On top of that I am slightly amused/offended that you wrote "Barnard College, Columbia Univ." Barnard College is not in Columbia U like SEAS is for example, its its own college with its own admissions and its own rankings....as a rule of thumb, if you can apply to both at the same time, they arent related.</p>
<p>It is hard but not impossible. Columbia rejects 91% RD. One probably needs to change something - great 7th semester grades or something. Figure out the reason for the deferral and fix it.</p>

*General Comments: I'm so pleased that I got into my first choice school. Looking forward to meeting all of you, but this board seems a little obsessive so it wont happen here :) *</p>
<p>If you take 4 SAT II's, will Columbia (or any college) see them all, or can you only send the 2 (or 3) that you want them to see?</p>
<p>yes. It used to be that you could hide one of them (scorechoice) but no more.</p>
<p>What about if I took the same SAT II twice.. Would they see the lower of the two scores?</p>
<p>yup, they sure will.....</p>
<p>unless you took it when there was score chioce which i very highly doubt since the last time that was possible was June 2002...which is when i took my three SAT IIs and did well because I wasnt stressed since i could just hide them and retake them if i needed to. They should really bring that option back!</p>
