<p>Financial aid came and it is not even remotely in the realm of possibility, does anyone know how successful appealing generally is?</p>
<p>@megmayumi from what I’ve heard, appealing generally only works if you have new financial information to present, i.e. if your parent just lost their job or something. </p>
<p>No news on housing…?</p>
<ul>
<li>NVM. Figured it out!</li>
</ul>
<p>@bookznhoopz I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while. How did you end up logging into the housing portal?</p>
<p>Do we have to confirm our enrollment before signing up for the housing lottery thing? I’m still deciding if I’m going to go, but I also don’t want to be at a disadvantage for submitting my housing app super close to the deadline. </p>
<p>@Frisbole Go to the welcome site. Click “Transfers”. There should be a link under the Housing heading. You enter your PID which is your C00 number and then DOB. Then you should be in. Can anyone activate their UNI yet?</p>
<p>I was recently accepted as sophomore transfer to Columbia, Brown, and UPenn, and I am really torn about where to transfer to. I think I am leaning more towards Columbia and Brown but I am still considering all three and have listed my thoughts below, and so I would really appreciate any feedback!!</p>
<p>Columbia:
I love NYC & the campus, and i’ve heard it has an intellectual vibe! i’ve also heard its not too friendly and so maybe its hard to integrate? Also, I am not a humanities person so I am concerned about the Core, but it does sound interesting. And I dont know what a bar scene would be like</p>
<p>Brown:
I love open curriculum!! and it seems to be friendly and welcoming, but I dont know much about the social environment or what it would be like as a transfer</p>
<p>UPenn:
Seems like a great place to be, people seem friendly, the high rises seem great, and BYOs sound found. I am concerned that the frat scene dominates social life</p>

<p>What were your stats? </p>
<p>Anyone accepted but deciding not to attend Columbia as a JUNIOR TRANSFER? Thank you for your response.</p>
<p>I was travelling and lost a lot of the discussion going in here. But I accepted Columbia’s offer and will be coming in as a sophomore. Do you guys have a facebook group or something like that going on?</p>
<p>To those on the waitlist, any news yet?</p>
<p>@vampireweekend Waitlist here - no news yet… Anybody else? I remember the letter said between June 15th and June 30th but who knows</p>
<p>yes, heres the fb group: <a href=“Columbia University Transfer Students - Fall 2014 | Facebook”>https://www.facebook.com/groups/1485377801676682/</a></p>
<p>@ILikeCheeseNWine where were you able to submit a plan of study on the app? I’m looking into applying for transfer this year for my junior year and am worried about showing them I can complete the required coursework (especially the Core) in time and would like to include something like this</p>
Hello, I notice that you have not been on this thread in a while, but I am hoping that you get this in hopes that you could give me advice on my transfer essay for Columbia University.
Thanks
