Did Upenn or Cornell have a wait list?
No, I think only Columbia does. Good luck today @Buttmuncher321. Hoping for some good news after UPenn’s rejection yesterday too
I hope to be at least wait listed, what’s your major @blackwidow22 ?
still haven’t opened upenn… waiting for columbia (and if i can manage it, harvard this week)
@realPeppaPig biochemistry and yours?
Economics @blackwidow22
Rejected from Cornell + Upenn. My checklist for Columbia disappeared just like the others two. I guess I will expect for the worst…
Good luck to everyone!
@IvyWanted I think the checklist disappearing signifies they’ve made their decision, not that it is automatically a rejection. My UPenn checklist never disappeared and I got rejected. Keep your head up!
You guys think Columbia places more emphasis on essays or grades
@blackwidow22 good luck to you too! Hopefully we’ll both get into Columbia haha. Did you get into Cornell?(if you don’t mind me asking!)
Grades are for the first round of elimination
They say on their website that you need to have at least a 3.5. After that it’s the essays and extracurriculars. I think that the SAT subjects will have a greater weightage than the SAT.
@Buttmuncher321 Yes, I’m really hoping for good news :). I actually have not had a decision from Cornell yet but I am thinking I may get it this Tuesday 5/10.
yes I agree. Grades are the first round and If I am not mistaken Columbia doesn’t require SAT II’s unless you’ve actually taken them. So I don’t think they will play a major factor if they are not absolutely required. I feel after grades, the essays and recommendations will be emphasized.
Hey guys! I applied too. So nervous for this, and I have a final today right after the decision! I also applied to Yale.
where did you guys apply? I applied engineering
Engineering
where do you guys go to college now? I go to UVA
Good luck @dapieguy1
I did Biochemistry. @realPeppaPig yes, that is very true. Now that we are super close to the time of the decisions this thread will pick up the pace LOL
