Official Columbia University RD Class of 2017 Thread!

<p>Do not fret about not getting an interview: I got a likely and never interviewed, applying to the College and not the Fu Foundation</p>

<p>I got interviewed; it was an average interview and was pretty short - 25 mins (The time the interviewer had assigned to each applicant). </p>

<p>I’m going to be a nervous wreck by the time the 28th arrives. Ugh. And my brother’s getting married on the 28th as well. So I hope to god I get in.</p>

<p>@Sophia - ED SEAS here. I didn’t get an interview so you’re good.</p>

<p>Personally, the wait until the notification date was the worst part. Good luck everybody; I hope to see you in the fall.</p>

<p>Well I figured out why I got a likely. I also got Egleston scholar which is pretty cool, but now I’m really questioning their sanity as I have very few engineering ECs and average ECs in general :confused: Man the only time my stats are ever top 1% of any student body is in community college. The Egleston schedule looks like a lot of fun though, hopefully I can get accepted somewhere else in the east and visit there as well.</p>

<p>@Wendeli Why do you think you got a likely?</p>

<p>What are the scholar things? I got a likely letter, should I have gotten something about scholars?</p>

<p>Only certain likely letter candidates in the Fu school are selected at Egleston scholars.</p>

<p>Ok nm I applied to the college lol…w/e</p>

<p>Also is it bad I got my likely letter 2 days ago…it seems that the majority came out 2/15? Do they give them out after reading all the apps or simply whenever they finish reading an app?</p>

<p>@lboss</p>

<p>Thanks for your kind words!</p>

<p>It just feels like my chances are gone simply because Columbia historically only accepts 2 or 3 kids from my school.</p>

<p>thank you! that cleared up a lot. I was getting nervous and thinking they forgot about me…</p>

<p>been 3 days since some1 posted here. wassup people</p>

<p>nerves. i wont be left with any nails by the time the 28th comes around.</p>

<p>^'Grats on the brother getting married! And hopefully in-advance congrats to you for acceptance! Have you already gotten into Princeton?</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>Nopee I got deferred EA. :confused: and tbh, not as enamored with Princeton as I once was.</p>

<p>Aww, poop. Well, at least it’s just a username, not to mention you might still get in this round. And it’s not like you got it tattooed down your thigh or anything. :)</p>
