Hmm, I’ve never heard of applicants being able to add to their application, but it probably couldn’t hurt to send an email to the admissions office letting them know to put a note in.
I’ve always found admissions officers to be surprisingly accommodating–definitely can’t hurt send an update
Veterans have already been notified about their decisions.
@lexluther96 Cool, are you a veteran? Was it good news?
@fcgeek27 Oh no! Someone from the Stanford thread mentioned he’d gotten in and that vets were notified first. Good for him! I thought I’d let you guys know.
My mid-year grade reports were somehow lost in the mail, and they got returned to my house this morning. What do I do? Does anyone have any advice? If I sent them back, they would be WAY late, and I don’t know that they haven’t already thrown out my “incomplete” application
@oncoviro17
If I were you, I would probably just email them explaining your situation and try to fax your mid-year report to Columbia. Admissions offices tend to be very understanding of situations like this.
@oncoviro17 I emailed Columbia admissions and they stated that I could email my midterm report to them because I explained to them that my mail could get to them extremely late. I emailed them later, asking if they received it and they said that they did.
@collegebusiness yay!
@collegebusiness Did they mention to which email address should you email ?
@luckybaby I emailed my midterm grades to ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu.
I also emailed them my midterm report last week to this email address. But no one replied me till now. @Iapplyanywhere
If anyone could chance me that would be great! 
Major (1st/2nd/3rd choice): Art History & Art, Art History, Chemistry
Currently Attending: UCLA (freshman)
College GPA: 3.448 (got a C in chem) but I was applying during before my second quarter grades came out–so on my transcript I sent to them I have a 3.785. I also got two A+s but I’m not sure if they’ll take that into account. On the college report my professors had to estimate grades and put A+, B/B+ and B-
HS GPA: 3.9 UW, 4.7 W
ACT: 32
APs: 5s on US history, Calc BC, Macroeconomics, and Gov. 4s on Lang, French, and chem
EC: Art (Illinois High School Arts Exhibit Visionary Award, local community college art show), Daily Bruin (newspaper) photographer, Frank Lloyd Wright Robie House tour guide (in HS mostly, but I still give tours when I’m home), Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago volunteer (HS, family day volunteering with kids/artists, etc), taught art lessons to kids (in HS), Yoga for Flexible Futures (teaches yoga/wellness lessons to kids in LA area), lead news editor and photographer for high school, ukulele
LORs: I’d say very solid. I got A+s in both classes, but they’re from TAs
Why Transfer: I think pretty good, maybe 8.5-9 out of 10. I talked about wanting to become an art restorer (hence art history and chem)
Supplemental Essays: Better than my transfer essay I’d say, pretty creative and columbia-centered
@beemo you seem like a really strong applicant, good luck!
Please chance me! (Sending this again since I got ignored last time lol)

Is anyone else freaking out and can’t wait for the decisions to be released?
@trmx97 very much so
HELP! So I know for a fact that I sent in my midterm report. But On my checklist there isn’t even a “Midterm” title there. Everything else is shown and checked off…do you guys see “Midterm report” as something there and checked??
@terr24lr they don’t track the midterm report. You can call if you want to confirm they got it, but if you sent it, it’s a good bet they’ve got it.
@mjr2013 thanks for the quick response my dude!
