<p>I have a friend who’s got one during early(recruited athlete). Don’t think too many internationals get them for academics in any case. </p>
<p>The colleges email them to you as well as physically mail, so you would know before the mail reaches you. Penn put up a video for all its likely admits on their website and youtube.</p>
<p>Back door entry to Columbia !!!</p>
<p>Excepted full ride at Adelphi’s 4+2 Joint degree BS+MS program with Columbia. :-D</p>
<p>So is this a good program ?? So if I do get rejected at all my top colleges, should I go here ?</p>
<p>Any advice will be helpful.</p>

<p>^^ Oh, so u get into Adelphi Univ. for 4 years and then automatically get into Columbia for 2 years if u have good grades at Adelphi.
Thats great man!! That is a gr8 idea if u get a full ride and have a chance to attend Columbia too…</p>
<p>Ya if I graduate with a 3.3 GPA and get a recommendation from the director of the joint program.</p>
<p>Guaranteed entry to Columbia if I complete these two requirements.</p>

<p>That works with a whole host of Liberal Arts Colleges that Columbia is affiliated with, check out their website.</p>
<p>Congratulations Anirudh!
The only backdoor entry I knew was a 3+2 program with 3 years of a liberal arts college and 2 years of Columbia SEAS. I’m sorry but I don’t know much about the Adelphi program, but I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Me
And also … I am expecting to hear from Georgia Tech 4 days before Pi day.</p>
<p>Wow. I have no inspiration to do anything at all :eek:
Plus, I have no Boards … and my exams are in May.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to make time go by faster? :p</p>
<p>@Tizil7: Me too! Senioritis is killing me. </p>
<p>May…AP exams? </p>
<p>We should build a time-travelling machine! :D</p>
<p>Think of me. I have even graduated from school.</p>
<p>No exams… Nothing</p>

<p>What do you guys want to major in?</p>
<p>Pol Sci</p>

<p>Anirudh, did you apply as a transfer applicant or freshman?
I agree, your position is worse :p</p>
<p>I’m currently really interested in application based sciences. Though I might just take a fancy to economics or financial engineering.</p>
<p>Freshman</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T959 using CC</p>
<p>I’m pretty conflicted. I’m also considering the sciences (perhaps medical school), but I don’t know for sure. There are so many other fields to choose from as well… international relations, economics, law. It’s hard to make a decision 
</p>
<p>I think it’ll be difficult to declare a major halfway through sophomore year.</p>
