problem with my application

<p>hello people, i seem to be posting here a lot these days;; o__o''</p>

<p>for my columbia application, there were two parts; application part I and application part II. </p>

<p>In application part I, which I submitted way too long ago, I checked that I was interested in Columbia College.</p>

<p>But now, I want to do the SEAS... =.,=</p>

<p>on application part II theres a box where you can choose which college youre applying for, but is it okay if there's a discrepancy on my application part I and part II? Thanks;; >:D</p>

<p>Yeah, just check SEAS on part II and email the admissions office about changing part I. I made similar changes last year and it didn't seem to be a problem. They were also very good about replying to my emails.</p>

<p>great since seas is great for chemistry and pre-med. It also has a higer acceptance rate especially throught ED.</p>

<p>And ditto to wat CU2012 said</p>

<p>if you want to major in chemistry you need to apply to CC.</p>

<p>chemistry and chemical engineering are not the same thing and if you are planning on doing pre-med i would strongly advise against chem engineering since it is the hardest major at columbia. </p>

<p>why do you keep saying this even though you were corrected in other threads.... even though SEAS technically has a higher acceptance rate than CC it has a self selective applicant pool and as a result its admits have higher stats ergo it can actually be harder to get into SEAS than CC! So stop trying to peddle this idea and if you are applying there just because of the supposedly higher admit rate i guarantee you that you will get rejected.</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>its easier to get into live with it. </p>

<p>they have higher stats, but its still easier to get into.</p>

<p>"lol

<p>What on earth are you talking about? it makes no sense whatsoever that an incoming class with higher average scores and seemingly better grades is easier to get into. </p>

<p>Is it really that difficult to understand? let's take it to the extreme, in case you still don't get it.</p>

<p>scenario 1: columbia college gets 10,000 applicants and takes 2000 = acceptance rate of 20%</p>

<p>scenario 2: 10,000 extra people apply but all are failures, same 2000 are accepted = 10% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>you as an applicant you will have an equally difficult time getting in, in both scenarios. if you're dreaming that all applicants have equal achievement levels and are equally competitive - wake up. </p>

<p>I agree that scores and % of students in the top 10% of their class in not holisitc, but they're not biased either, meaning higher scores don't devalue or saying anything about other achievements. Without any other information one should assume that students with higher scores and grades are on average smarter. I agree that the admissions process if holistic, and that the acceptance rate matters, but please, by itself it doesn't say much.</p>

Shraf was actually in SEAS.</p>

<p>SEAS is good for premed? i thought it was an engineering school...</p>

<p>^ yes, unfortunately doctors too need to think :p</p>

<p>well its science and math are great for pre-med, but remember it is a pretty hard task having take take a required engineering course with pre-med since you gotta have a good 3.7 or higher to get into a good medical school. But its definetly tangible, especially if you're math and science biased already.</p>

<p>:D COOLIO!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone :D!</p>
