I’m an international freshman(almost a sophomore now) and would be applying when the applications open in September-October ish. Hope that I get in when the decisions are announced in May 2022!

Hey guys, also a current sophomore at Columbia who was accepted as a transfer last year here. Also happy to answer any questions 
I see someone asked about stats so I will share some of my general stats here, but (I know it sounds sooo cliche but) stats really aren’t everything!! I’ve met so many transfer peers with very different stats.
Applied to: SEAS CS major
First-year GPA: 4.0 (I had an A- first semester but it shows up as mandatory pass/fail on the transcript per our school policies)
College EC: research with a postdoc (data analysis), leadership position at an Acappella group (music is highlighted in my application and I sent in a vocal performance supplement video), leadership position at CS club, internship as an assistant web developer, personal project building a website, internship relating to statistical analysis

hi, I had a few general questions about being a transfer at Columbia, if you wouldn’t mind answering.
- Is there a strong transfer community and is it difficult to become integrated into the student body?
- What is double concentrating like as a transfer student? Is it unfeasible because of the core?
- How are you enjoying your time? Any major complaints?

Hello, yes I’d say there is a very strong transfer community! Many of my closest friends are other transfer students. And it is not difficult to become integrated into the student body at all, people generally don’t care if you’re a transfer student or not (and why should they?)
I think it really depends on if you’re SEAS or CC. CC’s majors generally require fewer credits because of their stricter core, thus it’s usually easier to double major in CC. Since I major in CS I’ll use that as an example - CS in CC requires 40+ credits while 60+ in SEAS.
No major complaints that I can think of! The only thing I can think of is the dining halls are a bit… meh
