<p>Other than Columbia, which universities did you apply to and where did you get in? Thanks..</p>
<p>For those who did not get into Columbia, where else did you apply/get into?</p>
<p>Oh yea, also for those who rejected Columbia (ie got in but decided not to attend).. where else did you get into and where did you attend?</p>
<p>I rejected Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, the Sorbonne, Wittenberg. </p>
<p>A tad prestige-conscious, are you?</p>
<p>It is not possible to reject Oxford and Cambridge together.. you can only apply to one of them each year..</p>
<p>I'm not prestige conscious..</p>
<p>"It is not possible to reject Oxford and Cambridge together.. you can only apply to one of them each year.."</p>
<p>Really? You think?</p>
<p>"I'm not prestige conscious.."</p>
<p>You've established yourself as rather dense, so I would question your capacity for reliable introspection.</p>
<p>I started this thread because I want to know what are the true overlap schools of Columbia.. instead of relying on guidebooks to give me an idea of what other schools do Columbia applicants apply.. I simply extend it to asking where else did you guys get accepted... to gain more information.. I don't see this as prestige conscious.. and I do not need any introspection of my own feelings..</p>
<p>Yes, it is true that you cannot apply to both oxbridge in a year..</p>
<p>In - CU SEAS, Cornell Eng, UCLA Eng, Berkeley Eng</p>
<p>In off the W/L - MIT</p>
<p>Ding - Caltech, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford</p>
<p>Columbia2002, thanks a lot. Any reason why CU SEAS over MIT? The atmosphere? The Core (or at least half the Core of CC)? NYC?</p>
<p>jesus, musil, get a life; is this all you do?</p>

<p>All the above. And I liked the well-roundedness of Columbia for engineering -- both in terms of the education and the opportunities afterwards.</p>
<p>^Thanks a lot..</p>
<p>I applied to Columbia, Brown, UPenn, Yale, Georgetown (SFS), Vassar, NYU, Boston U, and the University of Washington. I was wait-listed at Georgetown and accepted by the others. I then chose Columbia, as I always intended to do, because it was (and still is) my favorite school. </p>
<p>Good luck with your college search/applications!</p>
<p>^Thanks a lot..</p>
<p>For undergrad, I chose the Cooper Union over Columbia SEAS. For grad, I chose Columbia SEAS over Carnegie Mellon and Illinois-Urbana,</p>
<p>applied: columbia, harvard, yale, brown, stanford, notre dame, USC, berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCI</p>
<p>accepted: columbia, notre dame, USC, berkeley, UCSD, UCI</p>
<p>W/L - brown, stanford</p>
<p>aaaand currently at columbia, obviously</p>

<p>For financial reasons?</p>
<p>I applied to: Columbia (ED), Penn, Boston U, Boston College, Tufts, Barnard, Temple, U of Maryland, Georgetown.</p>
<p>Accepted: Boston College, Tufts, Barnard, Temple, U of Maryland, Georgetown</p>
<p>(I was deferred to Regular for Columbia, then later denied, because I purposefully messed up my alumni interview. I realized what I really wanted was to go to Barnard.)</p>
<p>I'm currently at Barnard.</p>
<p>applied : columbia SEAS
Accepted : columbia SEAS
now attending: columbia SEAS</p>
<p>comments: I love ED, nothing better than the feeling of not having to worry about anything for half of senior year.</p>
<p>"then later denied, because I purposefully messed up my alumni interview"</p>
<p>if you were differed, chances would have it that there were more reasons than that for your rejection. i say this only because a small portion of the differed applicants get accepted and because people love to come up with reasons why they could have got in but didn't.</p>
<p>applied: caltech, mit, berkeley engr, ucla engr, columbia SEAS (ED), cornell engr</p>
<p>accepted: columbia, berkeley, ucla, cornell. in off waitlist at caltech.</p>
<p>unworthy: mit</p>
<p>After i got into columbia i decided to let the other apps ride just to see how my cards play. In the end it really came down between columbia and caltech for me. I chose to honor the ED to columbia once i actually visited caltech; I'm just not cut out to be a scientist.</p>
