Hi! I applied to the Columbia University 3-week Summer Immersion Program for high school students for session II 2017. I was wondering if anyone else has applied as well and how long it took to get their admission decision and what course they are taking. Also anyone that has been to the program can you tell me what it was like, is it worth it, all that stuff. thanks!
I applied for session one and got in with a full scholarship! I will be taking the business and finance course.
By scholarship, are you referring to the need-based financial aid? If not, how did you get the other type of scholarship?
they refer to scholarship and financial need as the same thing. But yes, I was referring to the need-based financial aid.
Ahh okay, thank you.
Kind of late to this discussion, but I applied to session II too! I was super last minute and applied by the deadline in March, but just got accepted last Thursday! Currently waiting on my scholarship notice, but I’m taking the Creative Writing Workshop and will be staying residentially.
Hi, sorry this is kind of late too. I applied in January but my transcript was not sent in until the last week of March (they still waivered the application fee). I received my admissions email on April 15th. I will be taking the introduction to business, finance, and economics course session II as a commuter for the first time.
I’m honestly not sure how the program is because I’ve seen a lot of mixed reactions. Does anyone know what the program is like for a commuter?
Sorry I’m late to respond lol but I got in March 27 and am waiting to see if I got a scholarship. I’m residential as well, session II.
Late too but I just got accepted. I’m in session II for Global Media/Politics.
I was accepted a few weeks ago for Session 2. I would like to get in contact with a few students before the start of the program.
Attending session 2! Pretty excited.
I got in session II as residential for Legal Research, Reasoning, and writing.
Hi! I thought Colombia didnt provide financial aid for its summer immersion programs. Please let me know how you got your scholarship, because I can’t attend if I don’t receive aid
