<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>
