<p>And so it begins!</p>
<p>Hi, I'm I Love the City, and I was deferred by Columbia University ED. Now, I am a regular decision consideration. Hopefully, I'll get to see you all on campus.
Good luck!</p>
<p>Stanford rejected me today…/crying…I need to work harder for my second choice T_T</p>
<p>@chandelure I’m sorry. My friend was deferred. It sucks to not get in.</p>
<p>@chandelure Me too bro… let’s both knock this one out of the park!</p>
<p>I’m already nervous for March. I feel like my supplements are insufficient </p>
<p>Penn deferral here…not too optimistic about my chances of getting into either school</p>
<p>Seems that I’m not alone, but it’s really tough for me recently. Failed for Corn ED and preparing for Columbia lol</p>
<p>hey, just wondering did anyone take a creative approach to the why columbia essay? i did (not a laundry list / exposition reasons) because it’s totally me to do that, but i don’t know if it’s appropriate? haha</p>
<p>I mostly gave a generic answer and talked about its pre med tract, classes, etc. the “why” essay would match my “what are your interests and how does columbia relate” so i just went bland.</p>
Last day to get those applications into Columbia!
@weepingmermaid I had a super unique/interesting intro and conclusion. the content of my essay was relatively normal (but obviously my reasons for wanting to attend Columbia were unique to me). I think as long as you honestly answer the prompt, it doesn’t matter how you write it.
@weepingmermaid I talked about the diversity that Columbia has by discussing NYC and Walt Whitman. It was mainly philosophical. Also has anyone been contacted for their Columbia Interview?
@KenziEccleston Mine is this monday afternoon
@indorilnerevar mine too. How are you preparing?
@KenziEccleston going over my extra curriculars
@indorilnerevar Okay, I am really just trying to get all the information in my head as I can. Is yours a student interview as well?
@KenziEccleston you mean alumni? I think that’s the only type of interview they do
@indorilnerevar no mine was a sophomore from Columbia. How did yours go tho?
@KenziEccleston great. Too bad it doesn’t count for much
Mine is a sophomore at columbia too…He just contacted me though.
