<p>dose anyone know if columbia has started to send out RD decisons by e-mail yet and if not when are they expected</p>

<p>No. Columbia will be sending them out on the 31st or the 1st at 5 PM EST. They did it a day earlier than expected for the ED round. Probably going to be the same for the RD, but not entirely certain.</p>

<p>pardonme gave me hope. thanks :)
then again, stats mean almost nothing nowadays</p>

<p>Um, you're welcome? </p>

<p>People here always fail to realize that it's really lots more than an SAT score and tons more of the other factors, considering you can't get a good picture of a person based on the results of a 3 hour test and three 1 hour tests.</p>

<p>Your 1270 isn't so great, but the 29 is pretty good. That's within range of their scores, so I don't see what is the big deal</p>

<p>Accepted ED CC, International Student, SAT I 1490, SAT II Writing 700, Physics 800, Maths I 730
GPA - cannot be calculated</p>

<p>I got a likely thing, does that count?</p>

<p>GPA- 3.9
SAT-1340
SAT2- 740(US History) ,690 (Writing),700 (Biology)
EC- pet business and other stuff</p>

<p>As you can see staticsoliloquy SAT is not THAT big of a factor in the admission officer's evaluation of the applicant. I hate when people are like " oh you gave me hope because of your low scores." The funny thing is, that most of the people who've posted their SAT stats above, do not have scores that are 1500 +. We even have some people in 1200's. So don't expect yourself to get in because you have score higher than 1500..... it plays no role whatsoever!</p>

<p>Laloopie you can't say that they don't play a role - SATs play a big role or a medium role; people with below that have something special about them. Columbia needs people good at academics as well as unique and well rounded, that is why I think that in the RD they'll be accepting based more on stats than they did in ED (atleast, 1500's won't be arbitrarily not accepted like ED).</p>

<p>I got into Enginering unofficially, hurray</p>

<p>They play the biggest role of any one piece of the application. No, they are certainly not the be-all and end-all but you usually have to have them to open the door. Getting in with a 1270 usually means some pretty spectacular ECs and honors.</p>

<p>By no means are SAT scores the biggest part of an application. In fact, they are only seen as to determine whether you are "in the ballpark." Once they see that, they never look at them again. EC's, GPA, Essays and Recs are by far and away the biggest part of the application.</p>
