<p>Does anyone know any behind-the-scenes info about Columbia undergraduate admissions? What do they really like to see on a Columbia application? </p>
<p>What makes Columbia admissions different from, say, Yale or Harvard admissions? Are they looking for a particular type of student or diversity?</p>
<p>Columbia cares slightly less about SAT scores apparently from what I have heard. I’m a current student.</p>
<p>^ Actually, I heard the exact opposite (lol), that Columbia cares more about SATs than any other Ivies. </p>
<p>sigh — the four millionth post asking for the secret formula to get into selective college X.</p>
<p>the formula doesn’t exist.</p>
