<p>“mardad, so your saying since my sat scores are 2300. But my subject tests are, 670, 710, and 650. Its bad? What if someone had an off day and their is no time to re - take?”</p>
<p>Sorry about the delay in answering your question. I agree with Cerberus (Why would you name yourself after the dog that guards the underworld? That would be an appropriately scarey name for an admissions officer.)) it is simply a matter of numbers. It’s not a matter of saying yes to you; it’s a matter of saying no to someone who had 2300 SATs and did not have an off day on the subject tests. (BTW Johnnytest, your numbers are not as low the OPs. If you are an URM and have some ECs you have a very good chance)</p>

<p>cerberus capital management is a private equity firm, they own 80% of Chrysler, who knows, in a couple of years the three headed dog might become more famous again.</p>

<p>^^What kind of tool do you think I am?! I wouldn’t call myself after the PE firm. The guys who started it didn’t even <em>know</em> that Cerberus was a three headed doggie (or so says NYT)</p>

<p>I’m not…an admissions officer. Jesus Christ. Is that what you people think? I’m 22 years old and I graduated in May!!</p>
<p>FYI, I got my name from, yes, the Aeneid, in part, but also from Harry Potter–Hagrid raised the three-headed puppy called Fluffy. Remember? It’s adorable…</p>
<p>i dont think bullet is accurate on those test score predictions. they regularly take kids less than 2200. The 2200 was the top of the class, not the average. I think a 2100 plus SAT is competitive. Your SAT II scores are not though. Gotta retake IMHO.</p>
<p>“I sometimes mistake you for an admissions officer, prowling, identity searching, eavesdropping.”</p>
<p>I went out to coffee with confidentialcoll yesterday, and his adolescent little cousins turned up. So in his infinite wisdom confidentialcoll decided to tell them I was his girlfriend. Real smooth :P</p>

<p>I really didn’t tell them, they assume that any girl i meet will be my girlfriend, and you could have at least played along a little! :p</p>
<p>^Don’t try to control things you can’t control! If you’ve already applied, relax and enjoy yourself! There’s nothing to be done (and I’m not making any judgment whatsoever about your odds; who cares at this point?).</p>
<p>Don’t try to give to the admission officers semigod status.
If they were like Hercules they would have been able to dispatch any Cerberus at application time.</p>
<p>They don’t always know who are the best candidates for the school’s academic departments.
Only the professors really know who these are.
They are the final judges on academic excellency. </p>
<p>The teaching staff at Columbia is a lot better in evaluating students than an underpaid and hustled from all sides inexperienced person just out of school.</p>
<p>p.s.
Is Cerberus a gal?
Triple personality?</p>
if by teaching staff you mean admissions staff, then perhaps you are correct. but we still know more than the average joe on the street, and don’t charge for our time.</p>
<p>Thanks Denwe.
It would be true if only the admissions person had teaching experience, preferably at Columbia. </p>
<p>Κέρβερος08,
Hades was never popular for collecting human souls and his guard became less popular after the infamous triple-screwup with Chrysler.</p>
<p>There is certainly no hating here, just a Dickensian misfortune of circumstance fallen upon such a gracious young lady.</p>
