OFFICIAL Early Decision Applicants Thread (Columbia Class of 2014)

<p>I've noticed that we have quite a few ED applicants here on CC so if you're applying Early Decision for Columbia's Class of 2014, come over and introduce yourself.</p>

<p>I'll start:</p>

<p>I'm an international applicant from Singapore, applying to the College to pursue interests in economics, literature and creative writing. </p>

<p>Sent in my Part 1 quite a while ago, and am spending time fine-tuning my Part 2. Planning to send in a creative writing supplement.</p>

<p>We need a thread like this, thanks srrinath!</p>

<p>I’m a half-Japanese-half-white girl from Southern California. I guess you could call me an introverted drama geek. I realize I’m aiming high when I say I want to become an actress, but hey, if it all goes down the drain, at least I’ll have my <em>flawless</em> Core education. :p</p>

<p>ED '14 baby!!</p>

<p>Full Korean male from state of Washington. First-gen going to college, choosing to major chemistry and maybe mathematics! Sent in part 1, got my interview done with and just workin on my essays now :smiley: </p>

<p>Good luck everyone!!</p>

<p>I’m an ED applicant from Singapore. Applying to SEAS for materials science/applied physics/applied math. Sent in Part 1 in early September. Interviewer has contacted me to schedule an interview next week!</p>

<p>Good luck to all prospective Columbians!</p>

<p>ED! a russian from philadelphia, pa…
economics/biochem major?maybe? to the college
my interview is on saturday :confused:
…does anyone know when we find out ED decisions? like the exact day, i mean?</p>

<p>Im also applying ED to SEAS.
My downfall- 610 on critical reading.
Taking the SAT in October to improve it.</p>

<p>For the interview, does some random e-mail address show up in your inbox with a subject of Columbia Interview or something? Either I havn’t been contacted yet, or the e-mail is in my junk mail. I sent in Part 1 early September.</p>

<p>^ That’s what I received. The email address was the interviewer’s office address, and the email was titled “Columbia University Interview”.</p>

<p>I am also from the great land of Singapore, applying ED for CC. Submitted Part I on the day it came out, August 5th. No interview yet.</p>

<p>I guess I am on the other extreme huh?</p>

<p>ED to CC! White girl from Jersey. Sounds so uninteresting compared to all of you :slight_smile: No interview yet, I’m so surprised that a lot of you have already had yours! I hope I have one soon. Good luck to all :)</p>

<p>Phew, not everyone has been contacted about an interview yet. I thought it was just me!</p>

<p>MLELS, I submitted part one of my app about two weeks ago, and still haven’t been contacted, but I guess it hasn’t been that long all things considered. I’ll let you know when/if I do!</p>

<p>Sounds good. Its been about a month for me, and it’s not like I live out in the boondocks or anything, so I hope I get one eventually.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s unlikely that it’s in your junk. Your interview assignment is not a random computer generated mail. In my case I got a handwritten (well, figuratively speaking) email from my interviewer with the title “Your Columbia Interview”. I submitted Part 1 at the start of Sep. </p>

<p>Please note though, not everyone gets an interview and likewise, not having one will not disadvantage your app.</p>

<p>I know, but I want one nonetheless. How’d it go for you?</p>

<p>I haven’t had it yet. I’m having my finals until the 8th of Oct and I’ve requested that my interview be moved to then. </p>

<p>And yes, I felt the same way until I actually got my interview assignment. If I hadn’t gotten one, I would have felt cheated or shortchanged. Especially if I eventually get rejected.</p>

<p>ED '14. From Southern California. (Columbia College)</p>

<p>ED '14. Korean international. Went to a public school in Southern California.
Econ+Math major :)</p>

<p>Hey guys, by the way, there aren’t any places in Columbia App to put your AP scores in. Right??? I took A LOT of APs…and did well on most of them. Should I attach them in the additional info section???</p>

<p>You should request for official copies of your AP scores to be sent via the College Board. In any case, I think Part 2 has spaces for your AP scores but it may be best to verify that again.</p>

<p>Hey,
I’m applying ED to columbia too but I’m having some troubles with the application form.
After filling in part 1 where I have to pay the 75 dollars via credit card, I have to type in my address right, but the address field is really limited such that I can’t type beyond a certain number of characters and therefore I can’t type in my whole address.
Did anyone have this problem as well? Could anyone help me out?
Thanks alot guys.</p>

<p>Btw, I’m Korean but studying in Singapore now, haha taking A levels in a month.
All the best guys</p>
