<p>lenard…did you apply for the scholarship?</p>

<p>I did not interview and I did apply for the scholarship. When I spoke to the rep, they said that my essay and my interest in the humanities were appealing to them.</p>
<p>Ughhh! So awesome…well good luck! Maybe I will be lucky enough to get a spot too! </p>

<p>Does CU make a phone call to every student who gets accepted, or the phone call goes out to certain students who are admitted to different programs?</p>
<p>kid: I got my package in the mail before I got my phone call</p>
<p>Hey brandi28. What is FA?</p>
<p>Thank you ChaunceyB. I just received an e-mail from CU just two days stating that they just made their decisions and applicants should be receiving their letters by next week. I just joined this site today and briefly read these forums. CU mostly accepts students with a GPA of 3.8-4.0. My GPA is 3.77. I have one summer class I’m taking now, which will probably increase it a little more, but do you think 3.77 is close to the acceptance range of 3.8?</p>
<p>That doesn’t seem fair, their minimum requirement is 3.0, they should be considering all students from 3.0 and up. I thought their process was “holistic” (their word)?</p>
<p>I have a 3.5~ range.</p>
<p>And how did you get this email?</p>
<p>FA is financial aid.</p>
<p>GS’ admissions process is holistic. That said, they accept the best applicants. So you can apply with a 3.0+, but your odds of acceptance are better the higher your GPA. There’s no meaningful difference between a 3.77 and a 3.80, but more higher grades the better (especially recent grades).</p>
<p>I e-mailed them in mid June and haven’t received a response until two days ago. I don’t know i was confident about getting accepted but after reading this forum, so many prospective students have done so much better with an average GPA ranging from 3.96 to 4.0. Suddenly, I don’t feel too hot anymore. =(</p>
<p>The forum is a negative place to be. EVERY forum puts you down. Go to a game forum, say World of Warcraft, you’d think it’s the worst game ever. Any shooter game, same idea. </p>
<p>Go to a money forum - it’s the end of the world. You’d have to see the word “market” to be sure it wasn’t the end of the world. There’s always a crash coming. ALWAYS. A good market is an outlier in fact.</p>
<p>Here too. No different. That’s why I try not to let it bother me too much. I only look for facts. Like how you got your email and I didn’t.</p>
<p>What is the % that once you’re accepted they call you? Why do they call you to tell you you’re receiving a package? I don’t understand.</p>
<p>Hm. That’s what I figured it meant. I just had to clarify it. Thank you campaigner. Also, do all GS applicants, those who CU find interesting, receive a phone interview? I never had one, and I applied for the Bio and History programs at GS.</p>
<p>When did you apply dunnolol? And did you take the GSAE?</p>
<p>I took the GSAE and I applied four months ago from today. I submitted the second part of the application (to complete it) two or three days before the deadline.</p>
<p>I applied on the deadline for the regular decision on June 1st. That’s odd to see that you haven’t received a letter yet, but then again, you applied four months ago. That was still regular decision I believe, so Columbia must’ve gathered all the applications from regular decision applicants as of this week and now has decided who will be accepted and who will be not. I took GSAE on June 5th. I’ve been checking my emails and the application online almost everyday. I’m also prepared for the worst.</p>
<p>still i received NOTHING! no email no call no package NOTHING!! i am getting very upset i really wanted a spot</p>
<p>@kidanimated i took mine the same day! did you do the 10-1?? please respond! did you interview? i at least did that probably screwed it up!!!</p>
<p>@brandi28 yes i took the exam at 10. you received a phone interview? i didn’t even get a phone interview. i guess that means your chance of getting in is much higher than mine. the only reason why i received an email from cu is because i sent them an email concerning the online tracking application and questioned them about how would candidates receive their letters. where did you sit when you took the exam?</p>
