What are my chances for Fu Foundation?
any receive decisions yet?? i know some schools already started to release decisions on monday
isn’t it a little early for decisions though? I would expect them sometime at the middle/end of this month but not this early lol. Also, does anyone know how Columbia’s decision letter/package looks like and does Columbia do likely letters for transfers?
Giving the past admissions, I’d expect the results to come out in early May.
@blackwidow22 I wanted to know if they give likely letters for transfers too lol
@transferind97 :
Much like @trzofpatriarchy , you have a very strong application. You seem very dedicated to science, and it definitely shows through your outstanding awards and accomplishments. I say that there’s a very high chance of you getting into Columbia; I would be shocked if they didn’t offer you a place in the class. So honestly, I wouldn’t worry about it.
May I ask what other schools you have applied to? Also, may I ask you to chance me please? Thank you! 
a lot of schools started their first batch of admissions decisions this monday
@PrincessMorales you seem to be saying that about every person you chance haha. And sure, I’ll chance you in some time
Anyone applied for Northwestern besides Columbia? Some already received their admission several days ago.
It is dead because there is nothing to say yet. Once decisions start to come out things will get crazy
Well based on past years threads from 2011-15, the admission notification dates are 5/13 , 5/10, 5/7, 5/13, 5/15
So we still have one month to wait
Yes, so basically hell…lol
@transferind97 I know! After researching I haven’t come across any transfer student who has received a likely letter. I would think it is possible but it appears it only applies for freshman admissions.
Hahaha! Does anyone know if Columbia makes calls for accepted students? Or will we all get an email? Also, is it rolling admission or do we all know on a specific date?
We all will know on a specific date. Given that they don’t send likely letters, I see no reason as to why they’d call…
