<p>THINK ABOUT IT^!!!. … Come on…Why would deferees get likelies?? do you know what a likely is? If you were good enough to get a likely, they wouldn’t have deferred you.</p>
<p>Also got a LL! (Very excited). Congrats to everyone else that has received one. =)</p>
<p>Everyone should say whether they are doing SEAS or CC.</p>
<p>I attended Rutgers University and I could not afford my textbooks because the financial aid was not enough for me to cover all of the fees, so my grades suffered. I finished with 12 credits and a 2.5 GPA. I then went the United States Marine Corps. I am now at a community college and I am taking 12 credits and I believe that I will be finishing with 12 credits and a 4.0 GPA leaving me at a 3.25 GPA and 24 credits. I also have my own business that is booming. Do you think that I have a chance of getting into Columbia GS? Also, what is the work load like at Columbia GS? Despite only having a 2.5 GPA at Rutgers University it was a cake walk. If I had my text books and had no financial distractions, I would have been in the 3.0 to 4.0 GPA range. I made the honor roll times five times and I had a 3.75 GPA during one semester of my Junior year at a top 20 New Jersey public high school (100% graduation rate). I am sending in my application in Spring 2010 with my grades from my community college in May 2010. The deadlines is June 2010. Do you think I have a chance of getting into Columbia GS in the Fall semester 2010? ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.</p>
<p>Congrats Pigs! I got one too :D</p>
<p>** for seas.</p>

Pretty strong essays, and teacher recommendations (I’m hoping).</p>
<p>Is there anything else people normally put? I’m new to this :).</p>
<p>Also, I just saw someone named “feynmanfan” on this thread… Feynman ROCKS!! gaa so cool.</p>
<p>I got a likely for SEAS.</p>
<p>But does a likely really mean your in? Im still fairly skeptical…</p>
<p>YES IT DOES (caps for emphasis)</p>
<p>99.9% chance. Unless you screw up majorly during your fall semester (or first trimester/quarter), or kill someone. Otherwise, you’re in.</p>
<p>Just want to confirm that Daughter received likely for CC this week. NOT SEAS, NOT athlete, NOT anything except CC. Caucasian, public school (sci/tech), applied RD, stated Russian as primary focus, and applied to Columbia primarily for the BA/MA five year program which gives her 3 yrs in NYC then 2 yrs at Science PO in Paris. Ends up with a BA from CC and La Diplome from Science Po. Yes, she’s a language collector, French, Russian, German (Congress-Bundestag Scholar to Germany, 10th grade). Curious to pick up Arabic/Farsi/Hindi at college. Other broad interests, like English Lit, Organic Chem, Stat, kind of the all-around type, etc. Writes VERY well and had spectacular teacher letters and a good interview with an alum just two weeks ago. Stats smack in the middle of Columbia’s average, not low end…not high end except the 800 W.</p>
<p>Hope that answers some questions. We are very new to this kind of forum so forgive me if my etiquette is lacking, not intended to offend anyone.</p>
<p>What region?</p>
<p>Maryland, close-in DC suburb</p>
<p>gosh… i’m so jealous… i wish i had one
hmmmmm</p>
<p>Congrats to your daughter, justsayin! Her likely letter is well-deserved :)</p>
<p>Congratulations everyone! I hope to see some of your faces next year and maybe on campus visits!!! M:heart:

<p>i got a likely letter. does it mean we’re definitely in unless we do spectacularly badly on interviews/midyear reports?</p>
<p>Yes. Did you get one today?</p>
