Official Columbia Early Decision Class of 2017 Thread

<p>I’m applying ED to CC! Also (hopefully not) applying to Yale, Brown, Williams, Barnard, Vassar, Princeton, UPenn, Middlebury.</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1405959-chances-columbia-ed.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1405959-chances-columbia-ed.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>i have a silly question, not sure if i should even post it here as it is my first time on this site but-
did you all put quotes around the books you’ve enjoyed?</p>

<p>nope. I called the admissions office to ask questions about that (I wanted to know if we needed to put authors or anything like that), and they really don’t care about how you format it as long as there is a comma between each title. they’re just trying to get a sense of who we are intellectually outside the classroom.</p>

<p>awesome- thank you!</p>

<p>When do we find out when the date of release is? Sent in my app last night and it’s already been too long of a wait.</p>

<p>How is this extension going to work with regard to common app? Are they going to extend the deadline? If they don’t, will we still be able to submit after the first?</p>

<p>columbia RD here…but i don’t think i will get in…can people post their stats?</p>

<p>I don’t think deadlines will be extended with RD…just for ED, unless another hurricane comes along.</p>

<p>I wish I could be on track with you 2100 sat 4.0 gpa people. Is anyone else trying to be in the 3% of students who are not like that? I mean I have a 3.7 a good backstory, firstgen, and really good hooks. My only hinderence is the stupid SAT (1570). Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>hi everyone! does anyone know if I should expect a response from <a href=“mailto:ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu”>ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu</a> if I sent an email to them? I had to update some app info and it was super important so I’m not sure whether I should expect them to write back or not, lol.</p>

<p>Does anyone know exactly what we have to do tomorrow when we can log in with our PINS?</p>

<p>Hey do you guys think that if I applied ed on nov 1, and I haven’t received an email or call asking for an interview, does that mean that I will probably not have to have an interview by this point? (it’s been a week)
Btw, good luck to everyone!!</p>

<p>raca1111, yeah i applied on the 28th and I haven’t heard anything so I doubt I’ll have an interview either. Maybe wait another week and they’ll contact you? not sure :confused:
good luck!!</p>

<p>I WANT IN.
Man, getting into columbia early would make my year. Realistically, however, I’m expecting a deferral.</p>

<p>I’m expecting rejection. 2170 SAT, 3.87 GPA, couldn’t take AP’s until junior year… Yeah. I’m just hoping for the best though, maybe the crapshoot system will work in my favor!</p>

<p>don’t worry Pitt13, a lot of people are expecting rejection (including myself!) but you never know what the college admission officer might find in your application that could jump out at him. btw only 4 minutes before we can track our application status! haha</p>

<p>Little obsessive, but can anyone track their app? It is telling me that it is not ready yet.</p>

<p>Edit: Take it back, its up</p>

<p>Does anyone know what Not Yet Received/Processed means…?</p>

<p>Or rather, why haven’t they received/processed so much of my stuff if I turned it in awhile ago?</p>

<p>I RLY wanna get acceptance so desperately. It will be brutal for me as an Asian international, but I still give it a try. If I get rejections from both Columbia ED and UChicago this Dec, I feel like I’ll suffer from nightmares till march.
Basic stats- 2240 SAT1, 790Math2c, 780 chem, top5% GPA, AP psych, macro micro econ, enviro sci, Calc bc, comparative gov (5)
Hope my business program in Columbia and using its dorms for 2 weeks help… and my reference letter from the chairman of the national assembly of my country which I got from my internship
I sooo wanna get in… If I get admitted, it will be the best Christmas present EVER!!</p>
