<p>applying ED.</p>
<p>I’m applying ED in about 3 years.</p>
<p>to the SEAS btw, to do pre-med</p>
<p>I’m applying. (RD because if I can’t afford my EFC, Michigan it is) But regardless, totally in love with Columbia. Never visited, wish had extra money to take a trip to NYC. Hopefully, I will get better times for track and get recruited (unlikely, but you never know with my 6 day/wk practices) and that in addition to URM (Black) and geographical (Michigan) may be enough to give me a chance.</p>
<p>I’m applying ED.</p>
<p>RD here as well! asian, if that helps … :P</p>
<p>I am, their Earth Science research institutes (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, NASA Goddard Center, etc.) are awesome. Reg. decision for only financial reasons.</p>
<p>All of the self-doubting Columbia ED UChicago EA people on here make me feel like I’m not alone; one can only try, right?
I’ve also found them to be the closest schools to one another.
Although it will never happen, I’m still going for Columbia ED.
Today, however, I learned from a UChicago assistant dean of admissions that applying EA won’t increase your chances at all–it’s not the same level of commitment as ED–and if you are looking to prove yourself in your senior year, you should go regular and avoid being deferred.
I just feel like I am proving myself so much more this year, it’s kind of too bad there isn’t any more time; I do want the whole process to be over so I can focus more on high school though.
So I will pray for that ED.</p>
<p>Am applying RD. I really like Columbia, but Yale comes out at top, at least for me.</p>
<p>As for the race comment, I think it is definitely a component. That spot given to the URM kid is a spot someone else won’t get. There are also a disproportionate amount of Asian students applying to top colleges in relation to their population in the United States.</p>
<p>But there actually is a huge Asian population at Columbia. Though it’s interesting to note that most of the Asian people I know at Columbia happen to Chinese-Canadians…</p>
<p>yeah, the only two people i know at columbia are chinese canadians lol</p>
<p>I wonder what will happen if I check the ‘other’ box and write in chinese canadian… I’m black lol</p>
<p>I was skeptical about applying to Columbia.
I think the school isn’t that great and the professors are condescending and arrogant. ( like the student body.)
At least thats what my brother said.
Then again i never know ,Columbia just isn’t my cup of tea.
I’m applying Brown , Princeton , Yale and NYU.</p>
<p>i’m applying to Columbia via Questbridge ( result Dec 1st )but my dream school is Princeton. 2 big dreams…</p>
<p>wow 1 person got in with a 3.0 and 1 person got in with a 3.5 … this actually gives me some hope. haha</p>
<p>Another Columbia EDer/Chicago EAer here. Wow, how many of us are there?</p>
<p>fellow EDer!!</p>
<p>good luck everyone! only 3 more weeks until the verdict. <em>gulp</em></p>
<p>I applied ED hope my Legacy status helps.</p>
<p>I am considering applying… I was rejected from Yale and even though my application is strong I am not ready to put myself out there again (reminds me of the dating game a litle). Fear of rejection, lol, I’m so lame.</p>
<p>Im applying! SO excited</p>
<p>I’m applying solely to Columbia GS. From what I understand, it’s the only Ivy education available to nontraditional students that isn’t a glorified night school.</p>
