[fickle mist]

Guys whoes gotten in I can't open mine at this moment

[fair tartan]

see luckyyy i wish i applied there 💀 i didn’t research fordham enough

[jaunty ivy]

@bronze bloom #1

[fair tartan]

if u have tiktok look up fordham dorm lincoln center they’re beautiful

[jaunty ivy]

Lincoln Center is kinda small tho

[fair tartan]

But u got manhattan 😍

[jaunty ivy]

Man if I'm looking for manhattan I might as well go to CUNY 🤣

[vital jolt]

I GOT IN!!!!

[jaunty ivy]

Congratulations!

[fair tartan]

CONGRATS

[dawn wasp]

damn they really had 800 less applications than last year

and i still got rejected

so sad

welp time to grind rd supps

[languid pewter]

online it says like 65%, but if it changes one year we’ll never know because they never release that

[jaunty ivy]

love how after columbia reject umass amherst is like WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK

[last knot]

Still got rejected uff

[jaunty ivy]

Ahhh ig we're not getting out the ghetto today

[fair tartan]

Bro umass doesn’t even bother emailing me anymore and i’ve been a hoe for it since day 1 😭

[jaunty ivy]

LOL

[languid pewter]

Yale got a lot harsher the past few years and their deferral rate dropped almost 30% in the last two years, so it’s possible Columbia has done the same. Anyways don’t feel bad about it <3; they have too many legacies and recruited athletes

[shrewd anchor]

congratulations to everyone !!!

[fair tartan]

I’m guessing there was less columbia applicants bc of the recent scandal

[bronze bloom]

do you think it was because of the drop in USNews rankings?

hey guys, to all the people that got in, i cant wait to meet you on campus
if you got deferred, please write that loci asap I WANT TO MEET YOU GUYS AT NYC
and if you got rejected, know that its not about you at all, im sure all you guys are amazing and at the end of the day it comes down to the AO and a piece of paper so keep on going and im sure you'll end up somewhere great. who knows, maybe ill visit you guys at hypsm cuz just from talking to all of you IK you guys are SO SMART AND TALENTED

[bronze bloom]

i cant seem to find the article for this, could you link it

[languid pewter]

The figure was on the rejection letter this yr

[languid pewter]

I mean that’s a notable drop so I can’t think of any other reason why that would be

They’re still test optional

[jaunty ivy]

it's in the rejection letter

[fair tartan]

columbia has so much nerve making students write 85748392 essays to drop drastically in ratings and applicants

[shrewd anchor]

what are the figures this yr?

[bronze bloom]

Oh i see

i lost my voice bruh

[bronze bloom]

see you on campus maybe!

or actually for sure now

[jaunty ivy]

It's not like you have a choice 🤣

[bronze bloom]

no i can actively avoid people

[jaunty ivy]

Man

Ig they didn't care about my pioneer shit damn

[fair tartan]

how does that make it the most difficult 😹😹

[dawn wasp]

bru i thought i was a shoe in for a deferral

[bronze bloom]

well it was 4.5k before the spike

[dawn wasp]

but they couldnt even give me that

[fair tartan]

ohh

[jaunty ivy]

FR i thought my ecs were OP enough to carry me through

apparently not 🗿

[languid pewter]

Make them regret it

[dawn wasp]

wait are u asian

[jaunty ivy]

[jaunty ivy]

🫂

[cold badge]

[jaunty ivy]

ROAD TO PENN

[last knot]

Love you all. You deserve mucb better. We all deserve colleges that value us not this fucking columbia

[jaunty ivy]

fr

[warm solar]

you thinking of applying penn?

[jaunty ivy]

Yup

[warm solar]

ayyy same

[jaunty ivy]

I'd ED2 them but they don't have ED2

[warm solar]

no same

and! they have the major i actually wanted!

so penn > columbia

[jaunty ivy]

Oooo interesting

[languid pewter]

sigh. for me is the opposite. Columbia has the major I want and Penn (and a lot of other schools) don’t

[safe sentinel]

Deferred 💔

[bronze bloom]

@warm solar NO YOULL DO WELL ANYWHERE ELSE

LET ME TELL YOU A STORY

[safe sentinel]

Didn’t want to do the core anyways🙄🙄🙄(coping)

[boreal skiff]

yh sm reading smh (i rly love reading)\

[safe sentinel]

I genuinely don’t😭nor do I like writing💀

[boreal skiff]

lmao

[safe sentinel]

Maybe this was a sign…

[bronze bloom]

was at city hall, talked to the mayor. he makes 200k. his lead team makes 150k+. NONE OF THEM WENT TO IVIES. they went to a 200+ ranked usnews school
the one person that went to harvard? she was making 100k working under the lead team.
its not about what college you go to, its about what you make of it. and IK FOR A FACT that all of you are hard workers and incredibly smart. IDC which school you go to, in 3 4 5 years you are going to show COlumbia that they fucked up rejecting u
@warm solar

ik youve probably heard this before but

trust me you guys are amazing

[jaunty ivy]

You know what would be crazy

if someone else from indonesia gets in

columbia release the stats alrdy!!!

[languid pewter]

but these schools will never really regret it unless you become super famous. So if anyone becomes super famous promise to make a large donation to your alma mater, and mail a copy of your donation to with your rejection letter to the school

We strive to be this level of petty

[jaunty ivy]

frfr

[warm solar]

im hugging you rn

im really sad i didnt get in but im so so so happy you got in @bronze bloom, we've been on this ride together since the ED deadline and ik you've worked so hard with violin and im so glad you have the chance to go and do the programs you want to do (and maybe do the columbia-juilliard exchange!!!) and i am just really really happy for you

[languid pewter]

Play a sad song on the violin for us 🙏

[wintry oracle]

[fickle mist]

CONGRATS 👏👏👏

[near wharf]

are certain undergrad schools harder to get into than the others?

[indigo pollen]

CONGRATS!!!

[fickle mist]

Yep

[dawn wasp]

wait fr???

is seas the hardest one to get into?

[near wharf]

id guess engineering

[fickle mist]

Oh you meant Columbia college I'm so dumb

[warm solar]

LETS GOOO CONGRATS !!!

[fickle mist]

There are def statistics on that

[near wharf]

economics-polisci major i want you

honestly looking at all these ed threads has me rethinking applying to an ivy ed

[warm solar]

oh man it just hit that i can't do the econ philo major here.

FUCK

[near wharf]

wait that's a sick intersection

i never thought abt that as a combo

where else are u applying?

[warm solar]

yeah its so cool and i rlly loved it

[warm solar]

uchicago EA, i already got into fordham, i also did NEU & uiuc EA

and then. well. rd is a shit show rn

[near wharf]

oooohhh good luck

didn't neu come out the other day?

[warm solar]

depends on uchi cus if i get in, i'll shotgun ivys but if i don't ..... well

[warm solar]

that was ed, neu EA is only in feb for some god forsaken reason

[near wharf]

good luck w uchi aaaa

[near wharf]

HOW IS THAT EVEN EARLY LMAO

[warm solar]

thank you !!!

[warm solar]

I KNOW

[near wharf]

and if you don't get into neu don't be too sad i can't name a person who goes there that truly likes it

everyone i know applies there and multiple of the ppl who actually went transferred out lol

[warm solar]

i'm expecting nothing from neu EA tbh cus the acceptance rate for that is crazy low

[near wharf]

no fr

and their ed is cracked too

[warm solar]

hoping for uchi, expecting nothing cus i don't think i'm the type of person they want which is fine

[near wharf]

honestly idk what kind of ppl different colleges want

like am i even the type of student columbia cares abt lmfao

[warm solar]

uchicago likes their "quirky" people but alas, i am not quirky so that's a reject

[near wharf]

LMFAO felt

[warm solar]

clearly i'm not the person columbia wants either so

we'll see where i end up 😭

[near wharf]

i'm hoping those colleges that want "leaders" think i'm good for having multiple president roles in ecs but alas i have no national recognition things whatsoever

[strange condor]

quirky aka they choose who they like in the most subjective way possible 💀

[warm solar]

already better than me cus i had 0 leadership

[near wharf]

i only know a few ppl who applied there but the ones who did get in were all so random it felt like

[warm solar]

it's probably why i'm gonna get in nowhere but eh

[near wharf]

my school is all rich lazy kids no one else does leadership so it's easy

like. there is 2 people in one of my clubs.

[warm solar]

damn

see i should have gone for leadership but also its a popularity contest at my school and i am not popular

so

[near wharf]

bs.. i know damn well u wouldn't be in here if you had a shit resume😭 plus u alr got into fordham so i feel like ur chances are looking good

[near wharf]

my clubs are my secret tbh like i'm never out here at school advertising 😭 no one needs to know

[warm solar]

nah columbia didn't want me so clearly there was smth they didn't like, and i'm willing to bet it was either ECs or essays cus my stats were good

[near wharf]

i feel like we're opposites lmaoo i have fine ecs and i'm a good writer so i feel my essay will be good but my gpa is so much lower than half this server

like i could of tried so much harder freshman year and it haunts me

i have a good gpa compared to like an avg student but compared to people looking at t20s and shit mine is so painfully mid

[warm solar]

see all i have going for me is rigor & gpa

[near wharf]

tbh i feel like that's the main thing tho

that's why i'm like shitting my pants lmao

[warm solar]

idk how my essays were but apparently not good enough, and i know my ECs were meh

[warm solar]

nah i feel like ECs & essays matter more

esp since freshman yr for you would've been the covid year

[near wharf]

i'm sure they were good columbia is j crazy selective

[fair tartan]

i hate quirky supplemental prompts bc i’m not creative and i can’t think of a genius likeable way to answer them. like what’s my favorite palindrome, advice id give to a wisdom tooth

[near wharf]

true but i feel like sm people j cheated and got legit 4.5s freshman year and i was lazy and got a 3.9 and i know i could've tried harder and it makes me so angry

WISDOM TOOTH😭

i'm praying the schools i apply to do interviews

[fickle mist]

dont try to write answers you think the aos wanna hear

[warm solar]

i put the uchi prompts off until the weekend before bc i could not think of anything

[warm solar]

^^^

best advice my friend at uchi gave me is to just go down a rabbit hole and start writing. it is not going to make sense but you just need to start somewhere with the prompt

[fair tartan]

well what would i think they want to hear?? the prompts r so weird like i would have no idea where to start

[near wharf]

this is so random but everyone i know that applied to uchi lives in the dmv

like i used to live there and i live in the boston area now and legit no one applied to uchi

[warm solar]

i am unfortunately in state for uchi so literally everyone at my school applied

[near wharf]

ahh

me with northeastern and bc

[warm solar]

and we have crazy competition every year 😭 so this is gonna go awesome! /sarcasm

[fickle mist]

maybe not just for the quirky prompts but i loved college essay guy as a springboard

[near wharf]

praying for u🐮🐮

[fickle mist]

maybe dont follow all of the advice, but its def a great place to start

[warm solar]

same actually

like sometimes the advice is bad but it's a good place to start thinking abt ideas

[near wharf]

do a lot of the schools yall applied to do interviews?

ik i just said smth abt interviews but like i'm so curious bc i've read they randomly disperse them and that is so stressful

[warm solar]

ahahaha

[fickle mist]

i didnt get an interview at all

[warm solar]

yeah columbia does interviews

[fickle mist]

ye its just based on availability

[fair tartan]

No but like maybe it’s my personality type but i lowkey look down on schools that take ur money then deny u bc u weren’t quirky or cool enough in an essay for admission 😭 like uchicago is the most expensive college in the country and it’s asking me what i would do if i was a burrito? bc it’s so imaginative and different xD

[fickle mist]

so if u know any1 who aplied to a school last year maybe u cud ask if they got an interview or not

[near wharf]

uchi isn't like other schools... it's different 🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️

i hope i do omfg

[warm solar]

uchci better give me aid if i get in cus

[near wharf]

all i have is my rizz 🫡

[warm solar]

i didn't get a columbia interview, ik gues didn't but he got in, a friend of mine did and got deferred, so it rlly just depends on availability

[near wharf]

like how are the aos supposed to know im sexy and funny if i don't have an interview 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

yeah

hopefully i get lucky

[fair tartan]

my friend got an interview for columbia and she and her interviewer hit it off, she got denied today

[near wharf]

NOOO id be so sad

[fair tartan]

Ig it goes to show interviews and interviews quality r less important

[near wharf]

this girl i party with a lot got into columbia but it was for lax

[fickle mist]

in the cds columbia rated the interviews only as considered

[near wharf]

so idk if her stats matter

[fickle mist]

while other stuff is all extremeley important

[warm solar]

man this makes me sad all over again

feel like i broke up with a partner today

[near wharf]

columbia seems like a force tbh

like they're dtm

like i love the prospect of being in the city and going to columbia but the more i learn the more disillusioned i get with it

[near wharf]

uchi on that rebound thooo 🏀

[warm solar]

yeah i asked ppl in #💪-chad-rejects to give me the negatives of columbia and i became kinda disillusioned with it after which is good

still wish i could go but eh

[near wharf]

i get that

[warm solar]

praying it works out

[near wharf]

hoping for u 🙏🙏

[restive mirage]

Is the deferral rate low this year?

[boreal skiff]

seems like it

[bronze bloom]

they usually publish their numbers, hopefully they do soon

[boreal skiff]

mannnnn

hopefully i get cornell

or gatech

[strange condor]

please ping once you know the numbers you def spend more time researching columbia than I do

[bronze bloom]

well idk if id be researching admit numbers now

looking at dorms rn

[bronze bloom]

THE DORMS ARE NICE

[jaunty ivy]

Bro's already in 🤣

I wonder

[bronze bloom]

and i heard from a jyard friend that the food is pre good

[jaunty ivy]

guaranteed all the hours i've spent on A2C have led to my rejection

i spend too much time here 💀

[strange condor]

YEAHH I remember spending hours just looking at pictures of the dorms and daydreaming about being there 🤣

[bronze bloom]

@strange condor if you dont mind, how much aid did you get and what was your efc?

my finaid needed an extra doc so i cant see

but i kinda wanna see how much they give out

[strange condor]

I actually wasn't really sure where to check my finaid

[fickle mist]

It's where u originally uploaded those docs

The student financial aid portal I think

[bronze bloom]

https://studentviewer.finaid.columbia.edu/NetPartner/NetPartnerStudent/Logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2FNetPartner%2FNetPartnerStudent

[strange condor]

https://studentviewer.finaid.columbia.edu/NetPartner/NetPartnerStudent/Logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2FNetPartner%2FNetPartnerStudent
is this the right palce

[bronze bloom]

cuz i have to do this

so i dont have an estimate

[strange condor]

if so I'm locked out of the account bc neither my parents nor I realized that the password is my birthday and not my columbia application portal password lmao

[fickle mist]

😭

[bronze bloom]

LMAO bestie

did you guys commit yet

im guessing waiting on finaid right

[jaunty ivy]

you know what's funny

finaid always comes like weeks after admission

Like bro just send it with the admission letter???

fr not the vibe

[bronze bloom]

i need it now cuz i keep getting more acceptances and i need to withdraw them fastttt

[bronze bloom]

i think ed comes with admission cuz u have to respond fast

[bronze bloom]

#penn2027???

[robust onyx]

Y’all need an RD thread too

[bronze bloom]

ill create it

[robust onyx]

If you are not discussing ED results or steps to take after an ED acceptance, begin heading over to #1053188923188334592 for future conversations

[robust onyx]

You saw nothing

[bronze bloom]

[bronze bloom]

10.3->11.3 acceptance

650 people

[fickle mist]

Where did u find that?

[bronze bloom]

https://www.collegevine.com/questions/36199/class-of-2027-columbia-university-ed-acceptance-rate-goes-up-1-from-10-3-to-11-3

[fickle mist]

Ooh ty

[bronze bloom]

not sure if its official tho

[last knot]

Makes me feel even more shittier

But if there's one thing im happy about, it's @bronze bloom's acceptance

[jaunty ivy]

Rate?

Damn

[bronze bloom]

TYSM and guys keep me updated cuz ik u guys will all do well

[jaunty ivy]

[warm solar]

[dawn wasp]

anyone who got accepted ed can you guys dm me your stats?

or post it wherever lol

[indigo pollen]

Looking at Columbia ED Instagram and I already have imposter syndrome 😭😭😭

[robust onyx]

The official one?

[indigo pollen]

Yeah

[strange condor]

Which ED Instagram?

[indigo pollen]

It’s on the aplicación portal

Application

Lemme find the username

roar2027

[strange condor]

Oh I see I’m still waiting to be approved

[robust onyx]

Selection bias

It’s like a2c

Only the people who feel they have things to flex are gonna post

There are thousands of people at the university yet only a few hundred at most will probably post on that page (im being generous since it looks official)

Those people are also not going to write how they made typos on their insta post or all the other mistakes they may have made in their app

[meager prism]

@indigo pollen @strange condor congratulations on getting in

[bronze bloom]

not posting my bum ass pics on insta

[strange condor]

Thank you!

Congrats to you too

[meager prism]

It's hope lol

[meager prism]

Lmfao it's ok go ahead it's fun

[warm solar]

did you get deferred

[meager prism]

No

I didn't ed

I'll rd

Bc they defer intls

Asking for aid

To rd

[warm solar]

ah

[meager prism]

So I didn't apply

[warm solar]

well good luck !! hope it works out for you

[meager prism]

Easy

[meager prism]

Thank you!!

[strange condor]

Oop okay good luck then 🙂

[meager prism]

Thanks

[vital jolt]

You and me both 😅

[indigo pollen]

Ik like these people out here founding organizations and doing research in China while I’m a choir section leader and Spanish club President 😶‍🌫️

[vital jolt]

Same!! I've wondered a couple times if this is real or a prank ngl 😂

[bronze bloom]

Hey guys, wondering if anyone here has gotten their finaid yet, could you dm me a pic of the award status?

had to submit extra doc on IDOC and now its finally received but not sure what a finaid quote/award looks like

[indigo pollen]

I got my financial aid and it came via email

[bronze bloom]

TYSM, thought i fucked smth up

We shall wait

[indigo pollen]

I also messed up my Idoc and I fixed it about a week before decisions and they had my offer ready as soon as I was admitted so I’m guessing that’s around how long it takes

Also my financial aid offer is so good

Like I was scared I wouldn’t be about to afford it

But when that say full need they mean full need

[bronze bloom]

That's good to hear cuz someone on Reddit said they didn't get enough

Ig we'll see fingers crossed

[restive mirage]

what's the deferral rate for columbia this ed round?

[languid pewter]

data from a few years ago suggest around 65% of applicants get deferred, but columbia does not release such data, so i'm hoping that over the past few years, they've been more conservative with their offers of deferral (like yale, who does actually release data ever year, good job yale)

[indigo pollen]

About to get on the plane for my visit!!

I’ve never been to New York before 😳

[ashen escarp]

😭

[bronze bloom]

It really is a wonderful campus, glad you had a great time!

[strange condor]

[warm solar]

[warm solar]

[indigo pollen]

I’m not a big picture taker but I’m loving nyc!

[vital jolt]

@bleak musk

[bleak musk]

LMAo tf

[indigo pollen]

Were y’all talking about that folder that came in or an actual package?

[fickle mist]

Da folder

[bronze bloom]

Anyone got finaid letter yet?

[strange condor]

I got an email

Been printing some Columbia Christmas ornaments 🎄

Sadly my cheap budget 3D printer is nowhere near precise enough to do the letters cleanly but oh well

[fickle mist]

🤩those are beautiful

[indigo pollen]

Mine came when I got the decision

[vital jolt]

Those are so cool!!

[bronze bloom]

yoo ill buy one from you when im in nyc

hehe

[strange condor]

haha I'll try to remember to bring some

[vital jolt]

Save one for me too! Can't wait to be in the city next christmas!! 🙃

[indigo pollen]

!verify

[fickle mist]

if i chose to submit self reported standardized test scores i haf 2 submit act + sat scores directly to columbia by feb 1st right?

if it was a superscore, do i submit both tests?

also do i also need to submit ap scores?

[vital jolt]

Oh, I can help with that!

If you go to the myACT website, and go to your scores, they have an option to send your superscore (in which they'll send both scores at once!)

[bronze bloom]

To anyone that got aid, was it similar to NPC ?

@strange condor @indigo pollen
Sorry for the pings just wondering if they gave you around what net price calc said

[fickle mist]

Ok, thanks!

[indigo pollen]

Mine was a bit lower

Aroud 4K lower

[bronze bloom]

Damnnn

[indigo pollen]

What is Columbia’s date to accept their offer?

Bc my uchicago financial aid is not ready yet

[warm solar]

wait does it come down to aid between uchicago & columbia

[indigo pollen]

I’d prefer Columbia but I also love uchicago and would go if aid was significantly lower

[warm solar]

ooo yeah that's fair

[bronze bloom]

1/19

[bronze bloom]

you can probably only back out of Columbia ED if your aid is way off from efc and you demonstrate that theres no way you can pay it

iirc

[vital jolt]

I think that sounds right!

[indigo pollen]

I’m kind of regretting Ed

Bc I low key thought I wouldn’t get in anywhere

Don’t get me wrong I love Columbia and would’ve chose it over any school

But financial aid is a whole other game

[warm solar]

yeah financial aid is ... well. it's going to be a rough april after i get my RD decisions back!

[bronze bloom]

Columbia has one of the most generous financial aid tho

[indigo pollen]

True

[bronze bloom]

uchicago costs 29k after aid, columbia costs 22k

[indigo pollen]

That’s why I don’t think it’ll affect anything

[bronze bloom]

altho i think princeton and harvard probably give the most aid

but 22k is still alot

obv

[strange condor]

it was similar but the actual amount was a bit less

[bronze bloom]

thank you, this makes me feel alot better

[bleak bough]

This is correct!

And Columbia in general is known to be super generous.

Congrats on getting into Columbia and UChicago though, and I hope it works out.

[agile grove]

I found mine online the night I got in

Should be somewhere deep in the portal

[strange condor]

!verify

[strange condor]

am I the only person who hasn't gotten my admitted students package yet

[vital jolt]

Neither have I 😅

[strange condor]

Oop where in the US do you live?

[vital jolt]

CT!

[strange condor]

ah okay

[vital jolt]

You’d think being an hour from Columbia would get me my admitted students package faster 💀 😂

[strange condor]

I'm in WA so I thought it was just taking forever to mail it across the country

but I guess that's not the reason lmao

[bronze bloom]

you guys arent missing much i wish they gave

t shirts and keychains 😭

[shrewd anchor]

what did they give away this time for the admitted student package?

[shrewd anchor]

I just saw your message! But yes, they gave me two different packages lmaoo. One for ED, another two months-ish before move in

[shrewd anchor]

nah that’s not entirely true haha. 3 of my friends are intl seeking full aid and they got in ED

[meager prism]

It said that on their website

That's why I chose not to ed tf

[shrewd anchor]

where?

[meager prism]

Wait

@shrewd anchor

[shrewd anchor]

may be deferred

that’s not always the case

[meager prism]

Yeah ig I was too scared to risk it for my dream school

[bronze bloom]

Folder

The Ed package

Just a certificate

[fickle mist]

guys do we also have to submit ap scores by feb 1st or is it just sat/act?

[vital jolt]

Officially committed! Looking forward to seeing everyone on campus next year 🥳💙🦁🙃

[warm solar]

WOOOO congrats!! & you can do the verify command so you can post in #🎓-commitments

[vital jolt]

Thank you!! So excited ☺️☺️

!verify

[restive mirage]

@shrewd anchor Hi!! I've dm-ed you a question about Columbia, please help me out when you're free! Thanks a lott

[strange condor]

bro i'm so scared of being rescinded

[fickle mist]

Fr

I unfortunately was scrolling on Reddit and I found a post Abt someone getting a letter of concern from cornell after only a b and a b-

The things they make u agree to in the decision form are nightmare inducing ngl

[strange condor]

yeah I am trying to tell myself that they purposely try to scare you so you don't slack off and that it's not a big deal

but it's still scary

[bronze bloom]

me 2 😭

[vital jolt]

Same here… I’ve gone down the Reddit horror story rabbit hole and the warning emails haunt my dreams now 😭😅

[vital jolt]

FACTS there’s so many boxes to check 💀😭

[floral stone]

Hey, what do columbians call themselves,
like cornell is big reds,

what's the one for columbia?

[indigo pollen]

Lions

[warm crystal]

When does columbia release decisions for graduate programs?

[fickle mist]

@strange condor @vital jolt @bronze bloom @shrewd anchor do any of u know if we need to send our ap scores in by feb 1st too or is it just sat/act?

[bronze bloom]

I was about to ask this too LOL

[strange condor]

I think I saw something in the Columbia subreddit about how it’s not required at all? I might be wrong though

[bronze bloom]

my AP scores qualify for credits so

idk

[strange condor]

yeah same

[bronze bloom]

its a bit early, but im wondering what dorms you guys will be going for

already been researching

[fickle mist]

Lotta them don't have air conditioning

[indigo pollen]

I’m looking at John jay

But I’m also a social person so I like the party atmosphere of carman

But I appreciate the singles of John jay

[vital jolt]

Same here!

I’m definitely looking for a roommate, so probably not John Jay for me 😅

[indigo pollen]

Like I love parties but i have 3 younger brother so some peace and quite would be a fun novelty 😭

[vital jolt]

Same here, but I’m not really sure how it works? Do you get class exemptions or just credits towards graduation?

[vital jolt]

Haha that’s valid. Only child here, so I’m looking for the opposite of peace and quiet 😅😂

[indigo pollen]

I don’t think it counts towards core classes if I remember correctly

Except for language ap

[vital jolt]

Hmmm ok

[vital jolt]

Oh ok thanks so much!

Does anyone know if there’s an IG account to post bios for roommates?

Ik the official one, but I was wondering if there were any others I’m missing!

[strange condor]

Also an only child so looking at carman where I can have roommates

[vital jolt]

Yay!! Hope to see you there! 🙃

[strange condor]

There’s a few unofficial ones but only like one person has posted on them

[vital jolt]

Oh ok gotcha! I was just wondering cause my friend got into UChicago and they have one already!

[strange condor]

I know they posted something on Facebook about how people can post their introductions in the Facebook group

[bronze bloom]

Apparently carman parties are usually only hot at the start of the year

I remember someone here saying jj had the best party scene and was the best if u wanted to bring someone over

[vital jolt]

I think my top 2 are carman or JJ at this point

[strange condor]

yeah I think those would be most people's top 2 (unless they really like quietness)

[bronze bloom]

I hope i get one of those

🙏

[vital jolt]

Same here 🙏

[fickle mist]

Where y'all doin ur research?

Columbias official dorm website is like the most unhelpful thing ever lmao

[vital jolt]

Reddit has honestly been my savior with this kinda stuff lmao

[bronze bloom]

https://theshaft.info/

Honestly I'd be fine with any except Hartley LOL

[fickle mist]

Ooh ty

[strange condor]

have you guys started looking for roommates yet? idk where and how to start lol

[bronze bloom]

😭 not yet idk where i heard roar27 was gonna post bios soon tho

more interested in merch rn

jacket acquired

[vital jolt]

I’ve been wondering that too!

I ordered my sweatshirt today ☺️

[vital jolt]

Tbqh I’ve been waiting for people to post bios on the IG account haha

[bronze bloom]

W I might wait till I visit to get hoodies

[vital jolt]

Ooh smart… I tried looking online but the ones I really wanted were sold out in my size 😔

[bronze bloom]

Same loll

I heard bookstore does good sales so that's y I'm waiting too

[vital jolt]

Ohhh I didn’t know about that!

[bronze bloom]

Just wanted a nice jacket tho and the only spirit shop ones have the lion which i don't like 💀

[vital jolt]

Same here 😅

Got this for Christmas though 😊

[bronze bloom]

W

[fickle mist]

ong those lion ones sorta ugly

[bronze bloom]

Yeah managed to find an official one with the nice crest

Decent price too

[indigo pollen]

Did anyone else get a letter from your admissions officer?

[indigo pollen]

My bf got me a sweatshirt for my birthday ❤️❤️

That shit was like $50 tho I was like damn thank you

[strange condor]

Aw that’s so nice of him

[strange condor]

Nope didn’t even get my admitted students package yet lmao (at this point I’m just assuming it got lost)

[vital jolt]

I did!

It came with the folder!

[vital jolt]

Aww that’s so cute

[agile grove]

Yes it was so sweet omg

[indigo pollen]

I was so used to the like the premade template letters

I was like damn ok really took the time to write this note

[agile grove]

Yeah just in pen at the bottom of the letter

[indigo pollen]

It was so cool

[fickle mist]

😦 mine didn't have a note

[agile grove]

I just got it last night separately dw

[indigo pollen]

Same I just got mine last night

[fickle mist]

ooh ok

[bronze bloom]

I did too!

Came in a separate mail

The ao said they loved my portfolio

[fickle mist]

i just got mine! nothing too personal but my ao prob really busy

[indigo pollen]

Yes especially if you live in an area with lots of applicants

[vital jolt]

Mhm! Mine was a standard letter and had a personal note at the bottom, which I loved

[fickle mist]

is there a way to see if columbia has received our sat/act or mid year reports?

[vital jolt]

I can't think of one, unless you call the admissions office and ask them to check your file 😅

[bronze bloom]

I was gonna email my ao and say thanks and also ask

[fickle mist]

gotcha

[strange condor]

For SAT I believe if the you go on the SAT website and it says "sent" that means they got it (if it's not sent then it should say "pending" or something like that)

for mid-year reports are you guys have your counselors directly email it to the school? Or do they submit it through common app

[fickle mist]

btw it took me way too long but it doesnt include ap scores

i dont think

cuz this is in the commitment agreement:

[vital jolt]

Sweatshirt acquired 😎

[bronze bloom]

Yo that looks good actually

[vital jolt]

It’s “oatmeal gray”, whatever that color is 😂😂

[languid pewter]

it’s obviously referring to the color of oatmeal 🙄

[vital jolt]

I'd honestly think oatmeal looks more brown 😅

[indigo pollen]

Hav you seen this girls budgeting 15 k a month video😭😭😭

I’m so scared of the Columbia rich people

[bronze bloom]

Plastic surgery and still looks mid af

[strange condor]

Did anyone get a confirmation email from FedEx today for a package being sent from undergraduate admissions?

[fickle mist]

i didnt

[bronze bloom]

yooo what

[bronze bloom]

wait did you get the admit folder

[strange condor]

Not yet lmao they told me to email them if I still do not receive it by today

But I didn’t email them yet so idk

[bronze bloom]

thats probably the folder then

maybe

keep us updated 💀

usps sent me the folder tho

sus

i want merch

[strange condor]

Yeah I was wondering why it’s fedex and not usps

[vital jolt]

Sameeee

[fickle mist]

guys im still a bit confused abt columbias external scholarship policy

does this essentially mean that all external scholarships that pay directly to columbia are essentially useless or just end up reducing financial aid?

[strange condor]

that's how I interpreted it as
