<p>Comments:
I am doing the Combined Plan, so if I do not get in this year, I can still attend Columbia in Sep 2015. However, my parents will have to pay for the extra tuition, and there is opportunity cost for doing the Combined Plan. I will definitely attend Columbia if admitted. </p>

<p>You guys all have great GPA…This is intimidating. Where else did you guys apply?</p>

42

<p>Yes I applied for FA too. Do you happen to know if Columbia meets full need for transfers?</p>

<p>Financial Aid at Columbia is need-based, and need-blind for transfers.</p>
