Columbia University Transfer Thread Fall 2018

We need a group!!!

Thanks!!

We need a groupme too

do you guys wanna start one now?

Congrats to all that got in! Did your letter say any data about how many applied and how many were offered admission?

@lovestotravel nope, having experienced so many rejections before IDT they say that in acceptance letters.

Yess!! A group me would be awesome!! Also a fb group

how should we do this?

Guys can i ask you all a question for accepted students. What school did you attend prior? I am hoping for more low named schools. I wanted to ask are you guys scared about the rigor that comes with columbia. I am deciding between that and UNC and idk what to choose as of yet.

@AdamAl I’m from a WA state community college! I know a guy from my college who transferred to Columbia GS who has my same major (Computer Science) and I nag him a lot about life at Columbia. He seems really happy in school, and he told me that the courses are similar, only Columbia gives more homework… I’m excited for what’s to come tbh!!

Having attended state schools (e.g. UVa UMich) I don’t think the rigor of education will be that different at Columbia, except that I’ll have to deal with more work.

I’m on board with the FB group! Only that I’m not committed yet (still waiting from 2 unis) so I probably can’t be admin

also joining FB

I am currently at Emory University and my first-semester gpa was 3.93. Honestly just get good grades first sem and join clubs that pique your interests. They really want to see what you are truly passionate about.

Congratulations to everyone accepted!

Congrats guys!

@ianmalclm Which 2 unis? And do you have a first choice?

@ianmalclm do you know what are the resources for int’l transfer students? I have been looking for those for a while

@meimeilatte I’m still waiting for Brown and Stanford. Stanford is my first choice, I know it’s a long shot but who knows… Brown and Columbia have their own pros and cons so if I get into Brown too I’ve gotta think long and hard to make my final choice

@maimonnathan I’ve also been looking for that! All I got is their general International Students page on their website…

I’m also on board with the FB group or group.me. If there already is one or if anyone is making one, PM me plz!
