Official Columbia University RD Class of 2017 Thread!

<p>I LOVE PHYSICS. AP Physics is my favorite class I’ve ever taken haha</p>

<p>hey everyone! I was deferred ED, so I guess I’m a regular decision applicant now, lol. Columbia’s still my dream school though :slight_smile:
(also since people are talking abt majors and stuff, I really like biochemistry)</p>

<p>Took forever for me to pick between biochem and neurosci but I decided I needed some aspect of psychology after liking AP so much this year.</p>

<p>@stupiddorkyidiot hey yo… biomedical engineering like me?? i loved physics, regret not taking ap physics this year, on my calc final exam i scored perfectly on only the physics part of course lol</p>

<p>@artobsessed - no, somehow I just don’t see the appeal, lol. I’m thinking either aerospace or med school. But I’m a young, idealistic high school kid, so I might just end up in music or something… :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Hey guys.
Looking forward at a double major at Economics and Financial Engg. :smiley:
Favourite subject : Econommiiccssssssss ! B|</p>

<p>Also, do you know if you can double major between two schools? Like SEAS and CC?</p>

<p>There’s the 3+2 and 4+1 program.
It’s a five-year program that you apply for in your junior/senior year at Columbia.
It’s 3 years of CC then 2 years of Engineering
or
4 years of Engineering then 1 year of CC.
You’ll be awarded both the BA. and the BS. if you successfully finish this course!</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Has anyone else received their log in information for Columbia. I did get a Columbia ID, not quite sure what that’s used for :O</p>

<p>I got my Columbia ID, but the email states that you can check your applications status from January something to February, so I’m guessing we really can’t use them yet. :)</p>

<p>^ I think it said early february to early march!! The portal is not available now but yeah - the email confirming my application contained an ID!!</p>

<p>Hey guys! I was on Bwog and I found this article:</p>

<p>[Columbia</a> Receives Many, Many Applications | Bwog](<a href=“http://bwog.com/2013/01/11/columbia-receives-many-many-applications/]Columbia”>Columbia Receives Many, Many Applications - Bwog)</p>

<p>It made me more anxious lol! A lot of people are applying this year, as expected.</p>

<p>^ Yup true. But it doesn’t change anything. It was a reach & still remains a reach for me!! :)</p>

<p>Has anyone received an alumni interview yet?
If so, when did you receive it?</p>

<p>I haven’t been contacted yet. The huge number of applications (to all top schools, not just Columbia) is making it a very real possibility that some people won’t get interviewed…</p>

<p>edit: but of course we should give it a few weeks. Popular consensus seems to be that if you haven’t been contacted by the beginning of Feb, that’s when you should ask your local alumni committee or whatever.</p>

<p>I just had my interview with an alumni, it went great! It lasted over two and a half hours!</p>

<p>in dallas they’re doing this “super saturday” interview thing where all the applicants and all the interviewers meet at a school on the weekend… kind of interesting, a little annoyed that i may not receive the personal attention of a more private interview environment. in this situation, im just one in the line. but hey, whatever.</p>

<p>When should we expect to hear our decision? The very latest would be April 1st, will they wait that long?</p>

<p>^I think I read Ivy decision date is the 29th of March.</p>

<p>Brown’s date this year is March 28. I think it’s usually on a Thursday, is that correct?</p>

<p>I just got a call to set up an interview! However, i didnt get any email with a Columbia ID yet -_-. Is that a bad thing?</p>
