Columbia University (2023-2024)

[quasi kayak]

i thought i may have wanted to do cs but apparently it’s basically impossible to get into those classes in cc

[native hatch]

not entirely true at all

i’m literally taking cs rn

and i don’t have accommodations my registration time was 11am

cs classes are usually p big though

[quasi kayak]

but ur seas right

[native hatch]

cc

[quasi kayak]

WHAT

[native hatch]

yeah

[quasi kayak]

I THOUGHT U WERE RALKINF AB how seas get sm freedom

[native hatch]

i’m an astrophysics and cs-math double in cc lol

it’s brutal

[quasi kayak]

oh my god.

i want to do cs and something else maybe but idk

[native hatch]

up to u there’s a lot of cool stem and non stem courses here

[quasi kayak]

again idk if i have the time for those classes and the discipline for it

there is a cs minor

[native hatch]

yes

[quasi kayak]

have u taken intro bio

[native hatch]

i have not

i’m not bio

[quasi kayak]

idk if it was part of breadth or not

[native hatch]

i’m taking the physics and math and cs tracks

on top of core

but that’s it

[quasi kayak]

i just hear about how hard it is

apparently columbia’s premed placements are crazy good but idk if they publish those stats

[native hatch]

idk, i have friends in chem rn, i’ve heard it’s that the intro classes are unilaterally kinda difficult but it gets way better from there

[quasi kayak]

ik that core gets u a wide basis but i’m afraid im going to terminally fall behind bc im gonna switch majors on the daily

[native hatch]

i don’t think you’ll fall behind

you don’t have to know what you want to do from day 1

[quasi kayak]

i sure hope not!

do many of ur classes overlap by major?

[stone ravine]

ahhhh thank u

[quasi kayak]

well yes!

[weak delta]

Columbia is t10

[quasi kayak]

ewwww no

[weak delta]

I don't think t5 and t10 makes much difference dawg 😭

[quasi kayak]

im just kind of bothered by how inflexible the core makes stuff

[weak delta]

Ah ok

That's valid

[quasi kayak]

just diff in social life!

[wise haven]

this ED was a mistake im not smart enough for this lmam p

[weak delta]

I actually like the score

Core

[wise haven]

ur insane

[weak delta]

Ngl

Bro I wrote about how it relates to my school

Or my learning

I might be crazy

😭

[quasi kayak]

[weak delta]

Heavily regret not eding

It's wtvr ig

[wise haven]

[flint frost]

“luck my way”

UR THE GOAT

URSELF

[quasi kayak]

if i got deferred

i wouldn’t even mind

[quasi kayak]

[weak delta]

[devout mirage]

[wise haven]

[devout mirage]

Econ polisci joint

[devout mirage]

[devout mirage]

Hah

Idk seas isn't too bad either

My best class rn is a stem class

[wise haven]

caly is struggling lmao

[devout mirage]

I'm just better smhh

[wise haven]

real

[devout mirage]

Teachers are nice anyways they try to give u as

Most of them

[quasi kayak]

i had questions 😭

[wise haven]

ask guest

[quasi kayak]

oh period

[devout mirage]

im guessing thats why she dipped

[quasi kayak]

LMFAO

[devout mirage]

What's up

[quasi kayak]

r u low income

or like

normal person income

[bitter iris]

he got full ridfe

[quasi kayak]

oh

i’m just curious if it’s hard to afford living expenses as a student… my parents aren’t going to support me in college and i’m afraid that i’m going to have a hard time balancing columbia and a job

[weak delta]

WHAT

I'm jk

If you had that option you will probably be successful wherever lmfao

[hybrid bay]

Dude i’d go to columbia over harvard

[vague basin]

id go to bing over harvard 😭

[weak delta]

Why

[hybrid bay]

I care ab my college experience more than simply prestige

Obviously i still care ab prestige but not enough for me to blindly choose a college thats only ranked 5 places higher

[hybrid bay]

Real

[weak delta]

Ah I see

Well I like Harvard better as a school than Columbia

But I like columbias core and their campus

So overall I would pick harvard

Sadly I'm not even close to touching either

[vague basin]

never heard of anyone liking the core but good for u

[wise haven]

columbia better

core is ass tho

[weak delta]

I find it intriguing in theory

Obv it's a waste of time but I think I would like it

Then again essentially every kid complains abt ut

So I might not end up liking ut

It

[hidden meteor]

If my parents income is considerably less than the 66,000 threshold that Colombia states on their website, would the $0 parent contribution include flights to and home?

[wise haven]

mind sending the link about that info?

[hidden meteor]

https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/affordability/cost

[torpid tree]

Why are the Columbia essays so short 😔

[wise haven]

real

[quasi kayak]

yeah that frustrated me SO MUCH LMFAO

[devout mirage]

Idt its a complete waste

The people that complain about it r just close minded n tbh won't achieve much

It's about being at least passable at all subjects

[native hatch]

im still here

feel free to dm

im trying to cut screen time

[stone ravine]

i love ur pfp

its like the scream

but so cuteee

[winged hinge]

i mean

def more than half the kids ik here didn’t have columbia as their top choice — hell even i didn’t but i still ed

ok scrolled through this entire thread while eating my #friedricebowl

guys i rly like columbia 😭

i don’t think i’m alone in that either — most probably 80% of kids i know here really like it

it’s def not like MIT where it’s i hate this fucking place

but like obv it’s a good school you gotta do work

but it’s still so possible to go out and have a good time like mostly whenever u want

j have good discipline, stay on top of ur shit, and have a good time

trust it’s not that deep

it wasn’t even my top choice and i’m so glad i’m here and not at MIT tbh LMAO

[cunning osprey]

what major and hows seas

[winged hinge]

love seas!!!

cs lol

maybe double minor applied math and OR

[cunning osprey]

damn im applying for cs in seas as well

we pray

[winged hinge]

🙏

manifesting for u

[cunning osprey]

do yk where ppl go after graduating with applied phys

[winged hinge]

wdym? like jobs or companies lol

[cunning osprey]

phys is my passion kinda but the job market seems ehhhh

[cunning osprey]

both ig

[winged hinge]

off pupin/j

tbh

major doesn’t matter lol

cuz u don’t declare until soph year

aka me

[cunning osprey]

sweet cash

[tall hare]

gwa

[wise haven]

my dream

ML masters or some shit and math idk

anything to make money and leave the world a worse place

[hybrid bay]

i think my end goal in life is probably to pivot my hedge fund into a social impact fun

after i make my billions ofc

[wise haven]

quant and hedge fund

literally sacrifice 5 years of life to be rich as shit

and then never work again after investing it all

[wise haven]

i am NOT getting in

[native hatch]

being from buttfuck nowhere at a title I hs helped emphasize some things in my portfolio that would’ve been average at some feeder

[wise haven]

i think my grade has like 6 penn legacies

or some connection to the school

[native hatch]

never been a upenn from my school

[quasi kayak]

when 0 kids have gone to an ivy league school from here like woe is you

[native hatch]

im first columbia in history

[quasi kayak]

PERIODSDD

[native hatch]

and my school’s been open prolly 100 years

🙂

[hybrid bay]

oh!

im penn legacy perfect stats like they neeeedd to let me in

i rlly dont wanna spam 10 more schools supps

[native hatch]

i know someone with perfect stats attending state school

it’s not that deep

[quasi kayak]

catch it

[wise haven]

its so over

[native hatch]

my dumbass got into columbia test optional rd

i won’t lie i was kinda an anomaly tho so generally don’t rely on scores or anything to get you i

in

holistic review is sometimes bs

[hybrid bay]

well i need that not to be me

acc my state school is insane

so I wouldn’t mind

[weak delta]

i honestly dont mind it

lmfao

[native hatch]

gtech?

[weak delta]

ut

[native hatch]

nice

[weak delta]

i would prefer oos tho

[quasi kayak]

wait who are my ed columbia girlies

[wise haven]

me

[native hatch]

just want to let y’all know that second to the video this is the best feeling ever

they have confetti

on the commitment page

[weak delta]

The dream

[tall hare]

omg the video 😭

i can only hope

[weak delta]

Columbia and yale my favorites simply for having the videos

[native hatch]

i don’t have a reaction video but

i have that from march 30

[weak delta]

All the other ivy tabs are so real

[native hatch]

dude i opened them dartmouth -> cornell -> columbia -> yale -> princeton -> harvard

[weak delta]

How many out of 6

Penn and brown snuffed

[native hatch]

rejected dartmouth, wl cornell (which i was like, holy shit, and thought i had lucked out), then got in columbia and didn’t care abt the other 3 rejections

[weak delta]

W

[native hatch]

i was fully ready to commit to university of arizona that night

like i had submitted my housing app and everything

[tall hare]

i think im gonna do one of the stupid wheels to decide the order i open my ivies

[native hatch]

and then took a nap before opening decisions

[weak delta]

Did u score any other t20s

[native hatch]

nope i got rej from all but arizona, columbia, and cornell

so just know that although you might not get in where you want to go most

you can find happiness pretty much anywhere and also you can end up clutching like that

[weak delta]

Tuff

[native hatch]

also i learned that columbia was very much me

once i got on campus

[weak delta]

Ye I'm ngl I'm so worried that I'm shotgunning

[native hatch]

so that’s that too tbh

[tall hare]

do you think shotgunning is the strat then?

[weak delta]

So that I can get into 1

[native hatch]

uh lmao i shotgunned pretty much every t20 except a few

[tall hare]

💀

[native hatch]

i had 1 safety and 1 i thought was a hard target

[weak delta]

1 safety is crazy

[tall hare]

also not in a rude way, but do you think your essays could have been a lot stronger, or did you bring your absolute best in all of them?

[native hatch]

ya cus it was guaranteed acceptance with a huge merit scholly and rlly good for astro

[native hatch]

i applied test optional

my essays were pretty good

[weak delta]

Are u fgli

[native hatch]

i might have pulled more had i not been T/O

[tall hare]

what is TO

[weak delta]

Test optional

[native hatch]

technically brinking li due to some complications but not apparent from my app

i was from a rural no name state and went to a title I hs

so broke ahhh hs with nothing to rlly do in my area and a dual citizen (first-gen u.s. born citizen on one side)

[quasi kayak]

did you ed mother?

[weak delta]

No

Biggest regret rn

😭

[tall hare]

ooh

[weak delta]

Didn't do any ed

Georgetown ea

[tall hare]

i mean do you think your ec's were good and all that? or did your essays carry

sry if it seems like im interrogating u 😭

[native hatch]

no ur good

i had like 300 h of astrophysics research and an internship with state gov

those were my main 2 ecs

[tall hare]

well JESUS CHRIST 😭

[native hatch]

my ecs were pretty good

[tall hare]

i have 0 h of astrophysics research and i want to major in exactly that 🔥

[native hatch]

my essays were meh i think pretty good i had them peer reviewed and checked over by my english teacher

oh shit nice i’m an astrophysics major

fire

[tall hare]

yeah i was gonna ask you about that next haha

i mean idk i have a northwestern astronomy program, a uchicago astronomy program, and i lead our astronomy club

also did some astro program like all of freshman and sophomore year

i hope thats enough on that end

[native hatch]

that’s really cool

i also founded an astro club

that is a lot

i think ur good

[tall hare]

<3

i hope so

i def feel a bit of imposter syndrome because i got rejected from SSP so im like well why would they choose me for astro over someone who did SSP astro😭

[native hatch]

oh

[tall hare]

already seeing the ssp23decisions page roll in and im like 💀

[native hatch]

i did ssp

lmao

i don’t think it’s that deep

[tall hare]

is that where the 300hr's came from 💀 or was that separate

[native hatch]

it is where the 300h came from they gave us a general lor to attach in supplemental material

outside of that there was rlly nothing to do here in terms of astro

we have 1 observatory in the entire state and it’s an hour and a half drive

[native hatch]

there’s a decisions page what

that’s silly

[tall hare]

ah yeah thats real

its good that you did something like ssp then because they probably took into account how there was rly no opportunity elsewhere

[tall hare]

YES because they know damn well most of them are going to ivies 😭

[native hatch]

my year didn’t have a decisions page lmao

that’s silly

[tall hare]

yea it must be new

[native hatch]

they report in the universal times

there’s a newsletter with who’s going where

[tall hare]

its just not fun seeing the successes of those who got in over me but thats a selfish way to feel on my end

bleh

[native hatch]

trust ssp isn’t rlly that deep

[tall hare]

*not

[native hatch]

it’s a lot of chance

the acceptance rate is like what

5% for astro now

omg i read like 400 essays

for people applying

and edited them my senior year

i was ‘22 but helped in the admissions server for a bit and was a mod

[quasi kayak]

i fear that this group is making me delulu

i don’t think i should’ve even gotten into stars and i sure as hell didn’t write my way in w those essays LMFAI

[native hatch]

ur fine cj

[native hatch]

that’s how i felt too

[quasi kayak]

biggest regret is not talking about just dance in low library

[native hatch]

i was like wtf jokes on them idk how i’m here

[quasi kayak]

in my why columbia

[native hatch]

what

[quasi kayak]

me n another stars queenie rocked it out to the timber just dance in low library

stars was hype

and i didnt talk about it like wtf

[native hatch]

i’ve been in low library like once

[quasi kayak]

they told us how they never get to go in low

[native hatch]

why did they treat you better than us wtf

[quasi kayak]

the bathrooms in the basement are SO GOOD

LIKE THEYRE FULLY HEATED AND ALL MARBLE

[native hatch]

ya that makes sense

[quasi kayak]

we were in low the majority of the time

[wise haven]

i had my english teacehr write the entirety of my common app intro and it shows

its so much better than anything else

[quasi kayak]

i have a pic of me at the columbia university podium in low

easily best pic

[tall hare]

i like my ec's and i like my essay's and i worked really hard so now i just have to hope it pays off

[native hatch]

it’ll pay off in some capacity

[wise haven]

i dont like any of mine!

[native hatch]

whether u get in an ivy or not

[tall hare]

as a whole i do like all the colleges im applying to, even my safety so idt itll be that bad

[native hatch]

u should genuinely apply to university of arizona

24+ research telescopes in like every field

they pioneer planetary astrophysics and tucson is such a nice town

tucson has such a good astronomy community too

[quasi kayak]

mookie you need to have at least a modicum of confidence bc trust if u get a rejection you’ll have no wish to keep going

[native hatch]

good dark sky

i would have loved to go to uofa tbh

[wise haven]

i already have no will to keep going

[native hatch]

but i kinda do enjoy going home for breaks

[wise haven]

im just doing supps for the sake ofit

[native hatch]

drop out and open a bakery with me

i’ll drop out too

we can make a bakery coffee shop plant shop

[wise haven]

were going to be so broke

[native hatch]

bread and coffee and plants

it’ll be great

[quasi kayak]

my list supp was so dumb

LMFAO i didn’t put anything thrilling or it wresting

interesting omfg

[native hatch]

half my list was from hs 🔥

books i had to read for ib

[quasi kayak]

reading back my supps i no longer have the confidence i did 30 mins ago 😍☝️

[wise haven]

its all so bad

[quasi kayak]

i guess i’ll find out in 10 days!

[wise haven]

its joever

[tall hare]

is financial aid good? that was keeping me from a lot of public schools like that

[tall hare]

i like how the list isnt just books anymore because i genuinely have not read more than like 5 books outside of school the past 3 years 💀

[native hatch]

ya esp for merit

i got $35k/y in scholarship off of merit

[tall hare]

ooh

[native hatch]

it was like $19k/y for me without finaid

im oos

[tall hare]

i mean i would probably need a full ride or close to it

gotcha

[native hatch]

they have a ton of scholarships to apply to

and also give oos finaid

[tall hare]

i might check it out then

not a safety but im really interested in urochester

and they have a good physics program

[devout mirage]

[stone ravine]

[restive ravine]

No one from my school has gotten into Columbia in the last 10 years or so how do you think that affects my app

[native hatch]

if your school isn’t a feeder it doesn’t matter how many people have gone to columbia in the past

it depends on you individually

within the context of the area around you

but mainly you individually

it might be a positive influence if they haven’t taken anyone from your area in quite awhile and you stand out

[stone ravine]

ik only one person who applied to columbia but she got rejected

in our school

then went to oxford

[restive ravine]

Gotcha
