Columbia University '13 EARLY DECISION

<p>Hey everybody</p>

<p>For anybody applying early decision to Columbia College or the Fu Foundation, post! we can chat, help each other out with our apps and stress levels or whatever. </p>

<p>goodluck everybody!</p>

<p>Im applying ED.</p>

<p>When writting your favourite books down do you need to put the author?</p>

<p>i put down the authorss for the books. i'm also applying early to the engineeringschool</p>

<p>i'm applying to engineering too, but i don't think that putting down the authors are necessary for the book questions. </p>

<p>in fact, they may even cause a running out of space (with the books taking half of the 300 word space)</p>

<p>I'm ED to the College.</p>

<p>I didn't put authors, because I did run out of room! I don't want to be one of those obnoxious people who lists every book they've ever read in their life to make themselves look good, but one of my absolute favorite books I read recently was The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism by George Bernard Shaw, so that one took up a lot of space.</p>

<p>im applying early to engineering too it seems like competition is gonna be extremely tough this year i really hope i get in</p>

<p>If the book is somewhat obscure, you should put the author. For books that are well known, it's not really necessary.</p>

<p>hey guys, im a fellow eder. i was just wondering where we put volunteer information? is that under out activities? thanks</p>

<p>hey guys..I'm applying ED too..
I sent off the online application 2 about 5 days ago, and I haven't recieved any confirmation....has anyone else sent theirs off? Is it normal not to hear anything yet? I mean I know Track starts in November but when will we get our Columbia ID? I have to send a supplement per mail and I cannot give them my ID because I don't have one yet...help would be appreciated :)</p>

<p>Has anyone not put The Dark Knight in the film section? lol</p>

<p>but seriously what are they looking for. I have a list of movies i can put down but I am not sure if they want like movies with substance, not movies like pineapple express, etc :-P</p>

<p>Hey, I have a very urgent question. If I am applying ED, does Columbia need to see my first quarter grades from senior year? I'm just wondering because I'm under so much stress, and I'm afraid that my A's will suddenly become B's, which will ruin my upward trend...</p>

<p>im not sure, you submit your mid year school report dont you?</p>

<p>so is anybody submitting a picture with their application?</p>

<p>I'm doing ED, too, at the college. Would you guys mind posting your SATs just so I can see where I stack up?</p>

<p>do we really HAVE TO only include this years movies? cause i feel like of there wasn't such a time limit then they could definitely learn more about us</p>

<p>yeah i'm wondering about the first quarter grades too. my guidance counselor says it looks good if you take the initiative to send them, but i'm guessing that's only if you do really well, and i'm also worried about a couple of classes that may have gone from A's to B's this year. what is everyone else doing?</p>

<p>I'm applying ED to Columbia College.
I'm sending in my first quarter grades.
These are some of my best grades ever, :D</p>

<p>woohoo i'm applying ED to the college. as for first marking period grades, i think if they're sweet, then it just adds to your chances, but if not, it's really not a big deal.</p>

<p>Has anyone gotten contacted for an interview?</p>

<p>I'm applying ED to seas too!
but I'm pretty doubtful that I will get in.
Last year I slipped... but Columbia has always been my dream school, so I'm still hoping.</p>

<p>Have you guys filled all the space left for books, shows, etc?
300 characters seems a lot for me in terms of required readings i liked, for example...</p>
