Didn’t see a thread about this, so I might as well ask. I was just accepted into Columbia’s SHAPE program. Is this just a moneymaker? Anybody else accepted? If so, what were your scores? (I have 3.9 gpa, 1540 SAT, 800 sat chem, strong ECs).
I was also accepted into Columbia SHAPE. I haven’t taken the SAT yet, but I also have strong ECs, as well as a 3.95 gpa. As expected, there is some controversy regarding the program. I viewed a thread 8 years ago discussing just this, with some students saying it was pointless while others regard it highly and valuable. I also have similar questions, especially if SHAPE is just a moneymaker.
I wouldn’t think that SHAPE is a moneymaker, after doing background research on the professors, students who went there, etc. How much time you have, other summer courses you’re taking, and how much you’re willing to invest are all things you should consider before completing the form.
(Just curious, what courses are you taking?).
