<p>I just found out my friend got into Columbia. There are 3 applicants for Columbia ED at my school, me, and two others. The two others are applying to be recruited for rowing. Today, they found out if they got in, one did, one did not. Everything I have (grades, ECs, recs, SATI score, SATII sore) is much better than his, so hopefully thats good for me, but, I don't have a varsity sport to assist me because I dislocated my knee twice and I can't play the sports I love any more.</p>
<p>Well, he is a recruited athlete. You are not. Universities don't give a flying hoot about the recruits' academic qualifications, from what I can judge.</p>
<p>people are already being notified?!?! wow....</p>
<p>Recruited athletes, I suppose. The rest will have to wait.</p>
<p>OMG...Columbia doesn't even have my SAT scores yet!!!....I hope they let me in and dont throw me into the RD pile</p>
<p>Well, suposedly, the other guy that applied was rejected because of his low scores, even though he is a great rower (he actually beat the columbia freshman rowing boat in a race).</p>
<p>lucky him
darn im jealous</p>
<p>carrera...how low were his sats?</p>
<p>I don't know everything, but this is what I do:</p>
<p>SAT: 1320
SATII writing: 600
SATII Math IC: 640
SATII Lit: 620</p>
<p>Grades were high Bs throughout highschool, and low A in the first quarter of senior year.</p>
<p>those are pretty good stats for an athlete...i knew an athlete who was accepted into Brown with an 1180</p>
<p>wow, those r pretty low for columbia</p>
<p>Wtf!!!!
People Already Know If They Are In Columbia Or Not!!!!</p>
<p>That Is Total Fing Bs!!! Why Cant We Know?</p>
<p>Just Cus We're Not Butch And We Don't Row?</p>
<p>That Is Soooo Unfair!!!!!!!</p>
<p>When Did They Find Out? Why Cant We Know!!! :(</p>
<p>Life is not fair</p>
<p>Out of curiosity do you know his erg scores? I am a rower but I did not want to lock myself into competing on a team.</p>
<p>Well, they don't know 100%. They still have to wait like all of us for the letter, the Columbia coach just told the coach of my school that he was going to recruit him, so its like 99%, but nothings final until its on paper.</p>
<p>Life is unfair, yes, but what is most unfair is that I would have been a solid varsity athlete if I did not dislocate my knee twice, and crack my patella in half.</p>
<p>I will ask him what his erg scores are when I get back to school on monday.</p>
<p>"I did not dislocate my knee twice, and crack my patella in half."</p>
<p>-that sucks and that must have hurt!</p>
<p>Yeah, hurt like a mother.... My knee was tackled by some idiot fooling around, my knee dislocated, bent side ways, and he smashed the patella so hard into the cement, that it was almost cracked it in half. And then one year later, again, dislocation (same knee), but thank god nothing broke the second time. The second dislocation was 3 days before I went to Hawaii, and I spent my entire vacation in a wheelchair :(. Although, Jessica Simpson, Ray Romano, and Tom Arnold all stayed at my hotel and my dislocation was a nice conversation peice.</p>
<p>I wouldn't want to be recruited though. Schools like Columbia give a lot of school work. Trying to balance the work with a full-time varsity sport commitment would drive anyone insane.</p>
<p>Columbia is known for grade inflation... its difficuilt, but if you did well in High School, you should be fine.</p>
