Columbia University (CUNY Morningside) (2022-2023)

[distant temple]

i personally very much do not like nyc it’s not that fun it feels rlly negative the people are kinda mean and the streets are so nasty 💀 i hated living there

but there is a sense of community that’s nice

[smoky hound]

there’s community everywhere but the social parts of manhattan

[distant temple]

fr

[smoky hound]

i feel like some people are soooo fake

[distant temple]

manhattan is my curse i was born there

[smoky hound]

especially as a poc like the communities in manhattan are very much not friendly

and if you’re not wealthy it’s so ostracizing

[distant temple]

and then the people who visit can be annoying and then the college students are also alot

[teal bolt]

? just "poc" is a little too broad wdym

[warped quiver]

i’ve heard otherwise but it depends on the area

there’s effectively districts

[smoky hound]

im asian and in my experience places have been very predominantly white and it’s been really hard for myself and other friends i have that are black or latino to fit in

there are places where it’s not predominantly white but i’m speaking in more college areas

[warped quiver]

ah i haven’t really been near morningside

[smoky hound]

morning side is fine since it’s in harlem and it’s very diverse!! but i will say it’s been getting gentrified and i cant say i love that lol

[somber spear]

I live here too

[teal bolt]

yeah so for people in those communities its different

nyc is neat but i wouldn't idolize it still lol

[smoky hound]

yeah that’s what i’m saying

[smoky hound]

wdym

[teal bolt]

oh shit pretend i can read i thought u said it was the other way around lol

screen time fukcing up my eye balls 👁️ 👁️

[smoky hound]

lolll

[teal bolt]

but its a lot more diverse than a lott of other college towns lmao

[jovial crypt]

Columbia NYU cross admit is like 90-10 💀 there's defo a difference in undergrad prestige and Columbia beats most NYU grad schools too

Columbia for politics is a state dept in and intelligence feeder, NYU is none
Finance/econ stern is prob as good as Columbia for placement
Fu seas blows tandon out of the water

[radiant geyser]

nothing is better about nyu than columbia

literally columbia is like nyu premium

[jovial crypt]

NYU music school is better but Columbia has juilliard partnership so yeah

[radiant geyser]

literally

[warped quiver]

wait columbia actually feeds into intelligence?

[jovial crypt]

SIPa does and thrr are 5 yr master programs
Intel feeders: Columbia, Princeton, tufts Fletcher, Syracuse Maxwell, Harvard Kennedy, gwu, gtown
Undergrad feeds into state dept and un

[warped quiver]

holy hell

yeah I did astrophysics + SIPA

that would be the dream 👀

UN -> IAU 🙏

oml imagine 5y intel program + astrophysics phd

[jovial crypt]

🤩

[lean ether]

Stern

[radiant geyser]

columbia is literally better tho

[mint hemlock]

Nah cuz Columbia doesn't have undergrad b-school and their grad b-school is as good or better than stern

[lean ether]

exactly

[lean ether]

Prob not

[radiant geyser]

it ranks better than stern for ib

it's mba program is better than stern too

even if it doesn't have a dedicated undergrad b school, it still places better

[lean ether]

Which rankings?

How to they compare with like job placement

[radiant geyser]

I mostly look at wso and have also talked to some people in the industry

[mint hemlock]

You can look at each schools employment stats

Columbia does better for IB

Even though everyone at Stern is an IB tryhard

[lean ether]

What is IB

[radiant geyser]

here's a list for ib for employment adjusted by undergrad population

as you can see columbia way outranks stern

the only reason stern is so heavily regarded is because of its proximity and focus on wall street

this is why people give it so much regard, because without population adjustments, it ranks second

[lean ether]

Sure that’s probably fine

[radiant geyser]

oh investment banking btw

[lean ether]

I mean yea NYU has a lot of people but there’s good focus on business right

[radiant geyser]

yeah I find this list of targets schools to be relatively accurate https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/school/undergraduate-target-schools-tier-list-2021-updates

[lean ether]

I think it would prob still a decent choice for business people

[radiant geyser]

so stern is definitely a target school

same as like dyson and mcdonough

oh and ross

[lean ether]

It looks like they are all listed as (adjective) target lol

What does that mean in business school admissions

[radiant geyser]

idk about mba admissions

this is just for finance with a focus on ib

[kind marsh]

I dont think its talking about admissions

its talking about where companies go to interview etc,

[radiant geyser]

^

[lean ether]

It’s pretty good for NYU to be listed in the same category as UChicago, Cornell, and Duke

And others

[heavy gorge]

yes NYU is still a beast for IB

however columbia is regarded higher (plus not everyone in columbia is gunning for IB)

columbia also should place higher for consulting and private equity

if im not mistaken

[radiant geyser]

Any mid-high ivy will basically

[heavy gorge]

yes but even cornell dyson and brown can place better than stern

brown is debatable, but its still comparable

i would take any ivy over stern 😭 but thats only mainly cos ivies give better aid

i just dont vibe with nyu

[radiant geyser]

Cornell does place better I think k

Brown does not

Probably

[heavy gorge]

i dont believe brown places better

but brown is still prestigious when it comes to name recognition

[radiant geyser]

Brown just doesn't have anyone going into ib

So you're not going to find the same quality of alumni network

[heavy gorge]

yepp

nor the on campus recruitin

but brown is such a good place to study

open curriculum, beautiful campus, no gpa, etc

[errant echo]

campus is absolutely gorgeous

I toured Columbia in the rain

And it was still so exciting

[heavy gorge]

COLUMBIA SUCH GOOD CAMPUS

i love it

kinda funny that its the smallest out of the ivies but is the second largest land owner in nyc

[jovial crypt]

basically columbia solos

[radiant geyser]

Omg yesss

I did too

Agh I love it sm

[heavy gorge]

i toured it in a sunny day 😭 its so nice

but i think it'll also be really nice when its in the winter

at twilight

or dawn

[radiant geyser]

I actually like winter tho

[errant echo]

oh my gosh getting back to the dorm from a night studying at one of the libraries

[radiant geyser]

Winter @ columbia is a dream

[errant echo]

It’s twilight and the setting sunlight reflects off the snow blanketing the campus in winter

[radiant geyser]

Literally

Loml

[errant echo]

UGH BEAUTY GRACE PRETTY

[heavy gorge]

columbia please please please please please please accept me

i will literally get an A on all of your core classes

just please accept me

[radiant geyser]

I can't get over it

It's too good

[heavy gorge]

she is beauty she is grace

[errant echo]

She’s going to reject me and throw it in my face

[heavy gorge]

HELP THATS ME

not you

[radiant geyser]

She's going to crumple up my dreams and laugh with disdain

I will buy a water bottle if you accept me @colombia

[kind marsh]

[bronze tinsel]

Thank you!

[humble tiger]

if i get into columbia im quitting my job

[spice plank]

is it rare to get a columbia interview?

like do they only interview ppl who are liklely getting admitted

[errant echo]

Idkkkk

[jovial crypt]

no its availability only

[errant echo]

Heard that Columbia is one of the most distant w it actually I think

[errant vale]

No portal/admission/finaid/anything astrology please

[errant echo]

Like interviews run out of their alumni association not anything officially associated with school

[jovial crypt]

yep

[jovial crypt]

let me get the interview pdf again

youll see that the interviewer has the option to accept or decline based on availability only

they dont see anything about interviewee except email

https://arc.undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/arc/guide/sites/archandbook/files/ARC Training - General - updated 07-12-12.pdf

[errant echo]

Ty Guest

[jovial crypt]

[errant echo]

We appreciate ur modness

[jovial crypt]

and yeah I didnt get an interview and got in, my friends in the same area also didnt get didnt get in, doesnt mean anything really all down to availability

[spice plank]

oh thx, i was getting nervous

[jovial crypt]

and even in a big city it could just be the interviewer assigned to you decided "nah i wanna go watch a movie"

or something

LOL

[spice plank]

😭

[hybrid vapor]

nah they know about your application too

[radiant geyser]

Wait they do

Hiw

Hiw

How

[errant vale]

Nope they do not

[jovial crypt]

nope they dont

[errant vale]

💀

[errant vale]

[jovial crypt]

this is all they see

[hybrid vapor]

my interviewer knew about my major choices, ec's and background

[jovial crypt]

when accepting an interview they dont know anything about background other than whats listed above

hence interviews are only based on availability

[stark tapir]

if i didn’t get a columbia interview am i still like ok

like still maybe a chance

[jovial crypt]

i didnt get one ur fine

[stark tapir]

okay okay

[jovial crypt]

also most likely they did a cursory search eg. linkedin or something, 99% of the time interviewers do not have applicant file

[hybrid vapor]

like what cause my linkedin is blank

[errant vale]

In how many threads did you put that 💀

[stark tapir]

2

this and Yale

[errant vale]

Ohh cool!

[stark tapir]

yeah i’m rlly nervous bcuz someone who got into Yale REA from my school got an interview

but i never got contacted

[errant vale]

Just forget about apps and enjoy HS. You'll def get into a good college

[radiant geyser]

Until I don't 💀💀

[stark tapir]

yeah like babe i wanna go to a t20 so i’m nervous lmaooo

[errant vale]

[stark tapir]

i think my app is strong, i just wanted an interview and am scared that bcuz i didn’t get one i’ll get rejected

[errant vale]

You have 29A already💀

[bronze tinsel]

rip usc is like t30 I think

[stark tapir]

i want to go to a t20

going to yale would be great

[errant vale]

Hmm ATB for that!!

[stark tapir]

so i just wanna know why i didn’t get an interview

but u cant email them lmao

bcuz they literally say u can’t ask

[errant vale]

Yeah

Anyways

[radiant geyser]

Columbia betrayal

[stark tapir]

[somber spear]

Columbia>Cornell

The rankings are fake

[fast forum]

100%

[rare cairn]

also isn’t colombia the best school ever

[somber spear]

Yessir

The alumni network is super strong

And our internship placement is world class every summer

[chrome anvil]

I also heard that colombia gives out free water bottles at orientation

[chrome anvil]

Pisses me off when ppl just look at the rankings and say Cornell is better

Bro just use ur brain and u will see it’s not.

I’d say Columbia is top 4 ivy

[somber spear]

Bro

You’re spelling Columbia wrong

Auto rejection

[chrome anvil]

Wdym bro

It’s obviously col__o__mbia

[prime tiger]

colomibia

[errant echo]

That’s always been my impression

[chrome anvil]

Yeah imo top 3 is HYP, 4 is Columbia, 5 is penn, 678 r the others

123 and 678 in no particularl order

[errant echo]

I always thought brown was 5 but idk much abt Penn honestly

[chrome anvil]

Oh yeah maybe

Idk enough abt brown tbh

[prisma vigil]

Well

Penn W if bysiness

idk much about their other programs

[chrome anvil]

Dentistry.. maybe? Idk lol

[somber spear]

Their pre med is solid

Their Eng is the Bronze medal in the ivies

Overall probably a t30

[prime tiger]

yeah that sounds right

[prisma vigil]

yep sounds ab right

Their business kinda carries

Their nursing might be decent from what I heard

[fossil geode]

they will stay number 1 forever

[static wyvern]

colombia is the best school ever fr

[fossil geode]

did you know that colombia has its very own bus station?

Got a Columbia likely! Idk about staying in NY since I’ve wanted to dorm OOS but It’s nice to basically be done with college apps since I got somewhere I’m happy at.

[errant echo]

Congrats!!!!!

[chrome anvil]

cracked 🎊

[sly bone]

congrats!!!!!!!!

[supple harness]

Thanks after getting rejected from cornell Ed I thought I was delusional but it this rly is a lottery😭😭

[lament wyvern]

Did you get the letter this evening?

[supple harness]

Yes I did around 5 pm est

[hallow hamlet]

Wait what do you mean by Likely?

[supple harness]

Some colleges send out an email basically saying you got in. It’s an early acceptance but in the letter they note that when decisions come out you’re most likely going to be admitted.

[hallow hamlet]

WOAH

how does it look like?

[supple harness]

This is cropped but this is what it is for the most part

[hallow hamlet]

woahhh nice

[still geode]

YOOO NICE

[errant vale]

Congratulations 🎉

We have a lot of cracked people in this server!!

[molten onyx]

good shit

[bitter panther]

R u engineering major??

[dusk glade]

Amazing!!!

[dusk glade]

It says Columbia College so probably not

[thin hedge]

Omg congrats!!!!

[wispy nova]

can u get rejected after a likely

[errant vale]

In a very extreme case

Like you fuck up your grades pretty bad

[wispy nova]

fuck up your grades in less than 2 weeks

[errant vale]

Yeah that is why it is unlikely to get rejected after getting a likely

[lean ether]

are they monitoring your grades over the next two weeks though? Like how would they find out until after final grades are sent

[errant vale]

They check the final grades

But it is highly unlikely

[lean ether]

so basically that would rescinding after admission

Still accepting on admit day tho

[errant echo]

Some high schools send their midterm grades in March

[lean ether]

Oh

[errant echo]

Idk if your school does tho

[errant vale]

Why are we talking about likely letters 😭

[errant echo]

cuz Mooo got one

[prisma vigil]

Moo got one yesterday too

Surprising isn’t it after the date

[errant echo]

Then we were wondering is the March 15 date real

[prisma vigil]

ye

[errant vale]

Isn't the deadline 15th

[prisma vigil]

that’s what I thought too

[errant vale]

It is

[errant echo]

Yeah but Mooo got one yesterday. So like how do u reconcile that

Came to the conclusion March 15 is specifically athletes

[errant vale]

Colombia acting weird

[prisma vigil]

ong

[prisma vigil]

makes sense

that means I can still get a likely 😍😍

jk idm

[wind siren]

Yup!!

I think people forget thr ivy league is an athletic association LMAO

[stoic flame]

Sure but the namesake carries more than just athletics

People probably know it’s an athletics thing, but the prestige of being in an ivy is paramount

[wind siren]

Yeah but for the purpose of the likely deadline

It's only talking about student athletes

[drifting vigil]

Are there typically a lot of people without likely letters that get in?

[jovial crypt]

yes

the majority of people get in without likely letters

[supple harness]

I applied to Computer Science to Columbia College

I thought it be easier than applying into engineering but idk😭😭

[errant echo]

Less than 3% of incoming class at each school gets it

Maybe 5000 teens get a likely each year across all applicants

[drifting vigil]

Oh interesting it seems like a lot of people are getting likelies and I thought only a few people did so ig that’s still true

just self selection in a2c I guess

[last nimbus]

Carly can u rename this to colombia university

[pseudo sage]

Guys is a jhu acceptance a good sign for a Columbia acceptance 😳

[errant echo]

Congrats on JHU!!!

[kind marsh]

[copper meadow]

i applied lac bc i still ahve a few mroe ideas

after your app was submitted

[empty sandal]

The moment

[prisma vigil]

exactly

[copper meadow]

2 seconds before

[prisma vigil]

Y’all think

College admissions

Will turn ML based

[copper meadow]

beamed directly into your mind

[empty sandal]

Whenever you first think ab the college

[prisma vigil]

and be automated

By computer

[empty sandal]

Nah

Prolly not

[chrome anvil]

No

[copper meadow]

nah

[smoky hound]

columbia is so real

[empty sandal]

Theres too many factors that i judt dont think computers can judge fairly

[prisma vigil]

I mean in theory it sounds like a good idea but it might be a little like scuffed in practice

[copper meadow]

colleges need aos to help demotivate a generation of already tired and sad people

[prisma vigil]

Columbia campus so nice

[empty sandal]

If you think AOs are cunts wait til you get rejected by chat gpt

[prisma vigil]

LMAO

[chrome anvil]

Humans don’t judge fairly either 💀

[kind marsh]

To be honest my guess is that with enough training an AI could indeed be the AO

[prisma vigil]

I mean tbh

[kind marsh]

but I think applicants would be too outraged

for them to actually do it

so it will never happen

[copper meadow]

its not about fairness

[prisma vigil]

yo it better be fair.

I need this acceptance

[chrome anvil]

Didn’t say that, i was responding to someone else

[copper meadow]

I fr said "it's like the warmth you feel when ur drinking hot chocolate"

LIKE BRUH LMFAO

[supple harness]

NO WAY I BASICALLY SAID THAT TOO😭😭😭😭😭

Feeling very not special rn but ig my essays were basic

[humble tiger]

using “the force” to open automatic doors

[errant echo]

Bahahaha

[humble tiger]

[vapid venture]

I wrote about Warhol iirc💀

[analog lark]

[stark tapir]

i think my other supps were goood but that one was so 😭

[humble tiger]

im taking march 30th off of work

[sly bone]

me writing why us = random club + random prof + random college tradition + please take me in

[humble tiger]

🙏

[stark tapir]

quite literally

[sly bone]

altho i do like columbia so had some valid pointers but anyways

[jovial crypt]

my why us had like

2 specific programs

2 student/faculty joint run institutes

a few music stuff

and some courses and clubs

[stark tapir]

the essay was like 200 words how u fit all that in there

[jovial crypt]

i left most of the community stuff to the diversity essay and then mentioned professors more in the why major

[jovial crypt]

oh uh

i had like 30 pages of revisions

just to min max and fit as much as possible

💀

[stark tapir]

lord

[errant echo]

I didn’t mention any professors

In community essay I discussed clubs

[stark tapir]

i don’t remember which was which but i’ll be accepted anyways

it’s my destiny

[errant echo]

In Why Columbia I talked abt research and connections

[errant vale]

[errant echo]

Why major was kind of more specific to COVID since common app was why medicine

[errant vale]

I don't remember what did I write in that section 💀

[errant echo]

Joy was just a cute little family fluff

[errant echo]

I went back to my essays just now lmfao

[errant vale]

I'm at school and I'm too bad with passwords

Can't log in

💀

[errant echo]

Oh I just popped into my Google docs

I wrote all of them there and then just copy pasted to common app

[humble tiger]

wrote them in my laptop’s notes app

[errant vale]

Ig I did that too but again I'm too lazy 🪦

Btw I remember that my list thing was okayish

[empty sandal]

I talked ab diversity ffs

So uncreative

[humble tiger]

im not gonnago back and read mine

that sounds awful

[empty sandal]

I just made the mistake of doing that

[humble tiger]

to reread i mean

[empty sandal]

Dont do it

[humble tiger]

ok cool

[errant echo]

Surprisingly, it seems like I didn’t write about my two biggest ECs in my Columbia essays

Shocking cuz I wrote abt at least one of them for every other app

Rereading generally bad idea

Idk tho everything is in at this point

My essays are not what’s gonna keep me from getting in

[jovial crypt]

do NOT reread your essays you will tear every word apart

trust me

[fossil geode]

yes

true

(I speak from experience)

[jovial crypt]

100x "what the fuck was I on when I wrote this shit brudda"

[supple harness]

My essays were rly generic and I was still able to get in. I genuinely can’t wait to get my admissions file and see wtf they were on with me

[errant echo]

Nah I don’t doubt my essays

That’s absolutely not what’s gonna get my app shit on

[empty sandal]

Few ec/honors gang?

[kind marsh]

my #2 EC is varsity chess, which I have done for 1 year

and my #4 EC is playing osu, and I'm not even that good

So, present!

[sly bone]

my ec#4 is bombing comedy open mics

[empty sandal]

No way you put osu as a ec

[kind marsh]

I did!

[empty sandal]

My friend is top 50k lol

[kind marsh]

Nice

[empty sandal]

I think hes like top 4000 in the us or something

[kind marsh]

[empty sandal]

Thats heat ngl

For the 35 word essay i wrote ab one piece

[sly bone]

[errant echo]

[errant echo]

nbd im just kinda a stiff writer honestly

[empty sandal]

I get that

[empty sandal]

I be scrutinizing every single word

[sly bone]

i wrote the 35 word prompt about being unique
totally not recycled from yale's shorties

[empty sandal]

I spent a full 45 minutes trying to fix a single word on one essay

[empty sandal]

Didnt apply to yale bc i didnt fuck w the continental congress ass aesthetic

[jovial crypt]

yale was nice from my tour ngl

[sly bone]

based

[jovial crypt]

princeton was the mid one

[errant echo]

agreege

it’s okay somehow Princeton ended up as my top two anyway

[empty sandal]

I didnt get the chance for an actual tour unfortunately

Just drove through the campus

[fresh marsh]

I wish I could tour campuses

[errant echo]

Where, Columbia? Or Yale?

[empty sandal]

Harvard was thre most disappointing one for me tbh

[empty sandal]

Both but i actually walked around columbias

[errant echo]

Oh nice

[kind marsh]

ive never been on a college campus

[errant echo]

Idk why everyone says Harvard is ugly

I thought it was quite nice

[jovial crypt]

ive heard its underwhelming

[empty sandal]

Have you been in person?

[jovial crypt]

but its prob just expectations

[sly bone]

if only they'd stop rejecting me

[errant echo]

?? Do ppl attach more expectations to Harvard than to Columbia or Yale or Princeton?

[fresh marsh]

I like harvards dorm culture

[errant echo]

I think Harvard dorm culture is cute

[fresh marsh]

It's quite reminiscent of Hogwarts sorting ceremony

[empty sandal]

I havent ever heard of it

[sly bone]

any dorm culture is cute as long as i get in

[fresh marsh]

They'll raid you like clash of clans

Literally

[empty sandal]

No shot

[fresh marsh]

Yeah

Lemme pull a video

[jovial crypt]

[empty sandal]

wait what was the prompt for the 35 word essay again

[fresh marsh]

Prompt: In Columbia’s admissions process, we value who you are as a unique individual, distinct from your goals and achievements. In the last words of this writing supplement, we would like you to reflect on a source of happiness. Help us get to know you further by describing the first thing that comes to mind when you consider what simply brings you joy. (35)

[last rose]

oh

i wrote about liking foreign movies

💀

[fresh marsh]

damn fancy ass words 😭

The gym is integral to my self-confidence and enables me to be expressive. Lifting those weights up after a long day at school gives me this feeling of relief which I cannot find anywhere else.

i was straight up to the point 💀

my 75 word essayw as even more wacky

i wrote about a light novel 💀

[last rose]

lmfao

[supple harness]

Theres a 75 word essay?

[sly bone]

here's mine:

What brings you joy
The last obstacle of my aunt's treasure hunt involved ankle deep mud.
The pre-existent footholds were tempting, but the struggle of creating my unique footprints brought about seamless joy, it still does.

kinda tried to shove a lot of context in that, not sure if it comes off clear

[chrome anvil]

isn’t it a list question

not about 1 novel

[supple harness]

Yea I just made a list of stuff I watched

What brings you joy? [35 words]
“Hiiiya!”
[Mountain Name] hikers are the most wholesome people you’ll ever meet. They'll greet you every morning, even if they’re short of breath. Their infectious joy compels me to bring along new friends every year.
