Columbia Summer Program 2018

I am a Sophomore and was just admitted to the Columbia Summer program for the second session! I am taking the filmmaking course. I was wondering if anyone is also doing the program this summer and would want to get in touch or if anyone has done it in the past and has more information on it?

Hi, I am just applying somewhat late, I wonder how hard the application is? Is it very selective or more of a “let everyone it and make money” sort of thing?

@pandawang16 I do not have a great idea of how selective it is, but they take into consideration your transcript, as well as 2 teacher recs. From reading past forums on the program I do not think many people have trouble getting in.

@pandawang16 This summer program is not selective, you got admitted as long as you meet the minimum requirement. You will have a great experience at Columbia University. Good luck with your application!

Do they provide financial aid for low-income international (Canadian) applicants?

Hey. I’ve been admitted to the first session journalism course. I don’t believe that it’s very selective.

@Columbiafreak123 I was admitted first session too, but for a case study of NYC. Are you a commuter or resident there?

Commuter. You?

I applied two days ago and got accepted, so I don’t think it is very selective as well…
