Columbia University Science Honors Program ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

<p>yay me too!</p>

<p>me three!!!</p>

<p>accepted
btw, is it true that 95% of SHP students go to Ivies</p>

<p>Probably not.</p>

<p>I got in (bit late of a response). But I got in, nonetheless. Anyone know what course theyre taking?</p>

<p>I'm thinking about Mind and Brain. Maybe Organic Chemistry</p>

<p>heyy--
does anyone know how many classes we're allowed to miss each semester? since sat's and psat's and act's and all that other good stuff are also saturday mornings.
thanks :)</p>

<p>4 a semester with valid excuses, 2 without</p>

<p>i just went to the site and i'm going to apply for the upcoming year..when exactly do these classes start, and is it useful? do u get credits or something?
ps. i haven't taken physics yet, how will i do good if i haven't taken physics in my h.s. yet?</p>

<p>^ thnxs..but im just worried about physics for the most part.</p>

<p>wat would u guys recommend as the part u definitely need to study for bio...?</p>

<p>How is the test on March 25? Someone took it? How many percent is the easy science section???</p>

<p>Iā€™m worried about my science.</p>

<p>Good Luck guys. Iā€™m a senior now. I remember taking this exam last year- I didnā€™t make it into the program. No worries though :stuck_out_tongue: Iā€™m going to Columbia for college next year. Things work themselves out sometimes :)</p>

<p>I took the test this March, I think I did all right. Iā€™m pretty sure I got all the math questions right, a 14/15 on the challenge problems. I dunno about science though, there was some stuff on there which I either didnā€™t know or forgot.</p>

<p>hey guys, im a sophomore now and i got in cshp last year. its a really amazing program. a lot of the science is common sense, like interpreting graphs and stuff. i had only taken freshman physics, so i didnt know a lot of bio and stuff. read up on weather maps and rock layers though, and they had about 1~2 questions on circuits. the challenge part is the most important part. pm me if you have any questions! good luck! hope to see you next cshp semester!</p>

<p>how would you rate the math? like AMC 10 or AMC 12? thatā€™s wat iā€™m worried about that. Iā€™m a freshman now and can handles the AMC 10 practice tests so much better than the AMC 12 practice tests. Iā€™m not too worried about scienceā€¦iā€™ll just look over some old notesā€¦ besides i heard from a lot of peopel the the challenge math section is wat pretty much decides your acceptanceā€¦</p>

<p>i guess i would say it was a combination of amc 10/12 level problems. if you answer the majority of them, iā€™d say you did pretty well. for the science part, i would look at some earth science stuff, and i remember questions on signs of a chemical reactionā€¦im not sure if theyā€™ll change the test for this yaear. the challenge math part is pretty much weighted the most, the other two are just to make sure you know the basics. i took it as a freshman last year, and the proctor was telling me how thereā€™s a curve for ages. although more juniors get in, its not impossible to get in as a freshman :]</p>

<p>thanksā€¦iā€™m taking it 2morrowā€¦ wish me luck!</p>

<p>another thingā€¦is the test multiple choice? if no one answers by 7:30 A.M. tomorrow morning, I guess Iā€™ll find out on my ownā€¦</p>

<p>yeah the test is all multipile choice. for the first 2 sections they deduct for wrong answers, but not for the last. good luck 2moro! hope to see you at shp next year!! :]</p>

<p>thanksā€¦that was good to knowā€¦hope 2 see u next year 2!</p>
