How does SHP impact admissions

<p>I do the Columbia Science Honors Program and I've heard everything from "they don't care at all" to "almost guaranteed admission." Obviously I don't buy into the latter, but does anyone know if they care at all?</p>

<p>Same question</p>

<p>I know of one candidate a few years ago who seemed rather ordinary but was in the SHP program. She was accepted. So I think it can only help. This is only based on a sample of one so take this with a grain of salt. </p>
