Columbia Sciences Po Dual Degree 2018 Entry

Just submitted my application for Reims! That was honestly so stressful, but god I want to get into this program so bad. Good luck to all & can’t wait until interview announcements come out!!

I just applied for Le Havre !!! For the financial aid/info forms, is the deadline for that by in like 2 hours or by the end of the 2nd?

@ttp776 I’m 90% sure it’s the end of the 2nd like with the CommonApp, but I’m not completely sure. I just applied to Reims and have all my essays and documents in except for the financial aid one…

Hey guys !
Do you know at what time is the deadline ?
And for those sending the IELTS results, can we just send the certificate or do we have to send them from the IELTS office ?
Thanks and good luck for everybody !

@DualSciPo I assume the deadline time is the end of today (11:59 PM EST), but I’m honestly not sure. Any standardized testing has to be sent from the offices themselves.
By the way, do the essays have to be double-spaced? I can’t remember if the application said that. And also, does anyone know what the “GS Optional Essay” option is all about?

@multianshul I think the spacing on mine was 1.15. It definitely doesn’t matter, and I don’t think I remember anything mentioning the spacing anyways. As for the optional essay, I didn’t do it… I doubt it boosts chances by a lot though, because it’s for GS and not the specific Dual BA Program. Also I’ve stalked the threads for this program back to the first year it started and I don’t think anyone brought it up.

Good luck everyone! February is closer than it seems! (I am freaking out on the inside aaaaaaaaaaaa)

I applied for Menton. Good luck to everyone !!

Oh ! What major did you choose ?

Since I submitted my application materials, I haven’t been able to log back into the portal. It says my email is invalid. Is this normal? Has anyone else had this issue?

No, I think you should be able to access the portal. Try to reset your password. If it still doesn’t work, I recommend you to ask the admission office directly. Best of luck.

I just submitted my application materials. Is SAT a must? Since on the standard test page, it only mentions that it’s a must for international students to submit TOEFL or IELTS score while SAT is a must for US students. Is this right?

Applied to Reims!
Does anyone want to post their stats and why they said they wanted to join the program? I saw these type of discussions in the 2016 and 2017 forums.
Ps. About the spacing of the essays, it said double spaced on the application but I don’t think it matters that much.

I applied to Menton! Where are you guys all from?

Hey ! I also applied to Menton. I’m from Lebanon
Good luck guys !

Thank you for clarifying @en2900! I made my essay double-spaced anyways, but I honestly think it shouldn’t be a big deal.

@goodlucktouall Yeah, I think they just strongly recommend international kids to submit SAT/ACT test scores but require US people. For TOEFL or IELTS, if English isn’t the primary language of instruction at your school, you are actually supposed to submit those scores.

Thanks a lot. Did you apply for this program as well?

Yep! I applied to Le Havre as an international kid (but I go to boarding school in the US).

Students in Anglophone school do you mind sharing your SAT scores? I feel like mine is a little low (740 RW and 720 M) - while that’s an awesome score I don’t know if it is high enough for this program

@Kd6410 you’re fine! I remember the admissions officer saying that 700 is the minimum for them on each section of the SAT. Personally, I scored below. I got a 680 on each (I’m honestly soooo nervous because of this). I really hope they overlook scores…
