Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I have good grades, good ec's, etc...</p>

<p>but my SATs are kind of low and idk if it's worth applying or even considering Columbia College ED</p>

<p>740 M 700 V 690 (12) W --> 2130</p>

<p>Is Columbia even looking at writing? </p>

<p>but still a 1440/1600 is a little low for columbia..right?</p>

2

<p>who cares. apply. there is no stated cut off.</p>

3

<p>I know someone who got in with a 1380. SATs aren't the only thing they look at.</p>

4

<p>Your in their ballpark. Dont worry and just apply.
And like Snowing said, Sats arent everything.</p>

<p>Of course not...I just meant to show that people with SATs lower than his have a perfectly fine chance of getting in, and that SATs aren't everything...</p>

<p>If you have good grades and ECs, then those can make up for bad SAT scores. That being said, those scores aren't really that bad. </p>

<p>I think a bigger issue is this: Are you sure that you'd actually want to go to Columbia, or did you just pick it because it's a middle Ivy in NYC? Make sure you research it, visit it, and are sure that you want to go here. I haven't started my year here yet, but from what all I've read Columbia is a bit different from many other schools.</p>

<p>How Columbia is different from the other schools? I'm going to be attending there next year, but one of the only reasons I chose it was because it was the only school I actually visited.</p>

<p>I smell new terminology being born...</p>

<p>In response to Stouffers: all of the Ivies are quite distinct from one another. There's not that much more of a distance between Columbia and Dartmouth as between Penn and Cornell, etc. Each has a plentitude of idiosyncracies.</p>

<p>Oh god, spare me. Middle Ivy?</p>

<p>hahahahaha, this thread is hilarious</p>
