kyle is my biggest opp

[devout mirage]

bc guest was at barnard in some girls dorm the entirety of my time there

[native hatch]

we’re more than borderline but i’m trying to fix that because he has isolation issues and that’s why he’s unhealthily dependent on me

[quasi kayak]

i’m p sure i need calc 3 for fin econ :(

[native hatch]

finance kids don’t need calc 4

[devout mirage]

why not take calc 3 and 4 for the free A

[native hatch]

why would u want to lol if you have other math curriculum to take

[quasi kayak]

lol i’m trying to keep my math as low as possible

get in all those coms classes

[devout mirage]

[quasi kayak]

that’s why core existe

[native hatch]

up to u

yeah

[quasi kayak]

I LOVE CC🩷🤞

[devout mirage]

i only took 2 years of foreign language

im so fucked everywhere

[weak delta]

Is that some requirement

Which colleges require 3 or 4

I think I heard smth about it before

but i always thought it was a preference n

Not a requirement

[quasi kayak]

BADDIE BEHAVIOR

COLOMBIAAAA

[native hatch]

because i’ve been here 2y bro

i was dooming abt columbia last year

now i’m giving advice

all is balanced

[weak delta]

I should be top 5 now

I think

Brandkn

Brandon

Can you run it back

And check again

Please

[south hemlock]

Desperation nawt a good look on you king

[dense fable]

Submitted my Columbia App! 🎊

[reef glacier]

if I'm applying eng for seas, is a maker portfolio the only kind of video supp u can submit? Or can you submit a more personal video

[devout mirage]

Fin econ has a lot of cs

[devout mirage]

Nah it's 1

Calc 3 and 4 are usually separate at all unis

[devout mirage]

Bro core deflating my grade rn

[devout mirage]

How much

[devout mirage]

When

[devout mirage]

I took 2 ur fine

[devout mirage]

3+2

[faint pasture]

I submitted 2

yeah and why is the admissions package mid?

I only received letters

[weak delta]

Im top 5 yippee

If you are on a2c then ur desperate in general so idc

[bitter iris]

i thought it was its own seperate entity

and orfe was more cs based

[primal kernel]

if u get into seas and want to switch majors, can u switch to a CC major or only seas

[remote raptor]

Anyone here got into Columbia early?

[mental garnet]

cj did

[remote raptor]

What did you guys write your Why Us essays on?

[quasi kayak]

orfe is more cs

fin ec is econ w finance

[keen elbow]

Hey what major would someone looking to go into investment banking choose

Would business management or financial econ be better

Also like

Is it true that only 45 people are taken for business management

[small wadi]

No major in particular

It doesn’t matter for banking recruiting

[keen elbow]

Fair

Also

The webpage for fin econ makes it sound like the AP exams are a requirement

Are they

Or is it just for the credits

[hexed canyon]

It’s the thing I have

And it takes like 20 mins to run per time

[weak delta]

Smh

[hexed canyon]

Wait inch resting

I can make these for multiple threads at once

So I could make a HYPSM data set

Let’s do that lol

[weak delta]

Can you do Georgetown

[weak delta]

Yuhhh lesgoo

[mental garnet]

Damn kvd how do you have almost double mine

actually tbh i died in the thread after the deferral lol so makes sense

[exotic mortar]

have any of you been to caffe reggio

i want to go there

[quasi kayak]

@native hatch r u studying abroad

i’m looking at fulfilling muhum and arthum over the summer

[native hatch]

maybe? im not sure

if i don’t have anything else to do this summer i might fulfill music and art hum

[keen elbow]

@quasi kayak

[quasi kayak]

apparently the berlin one is hard to get into??

i want to do it so bad

[native hatch]

i don’t think that’ll be the case though

[quasi kayak]

but apparently it’s competitive

[native hatch]

im probably going to do research over the summer whether it’s institutional or something local

i want to do an AMNH internship

[quasi kayak]

i’m either staying in the city w an internship or going abroad

[native hatch]

if i do music and art hum over the summer i have 2 more free slots for math stuff maybe but idk

im currently like trying my best to absolutely shotgun thru my math courses here

[quasi kayak]

no??

[quasi kayak]

this is why i want to do it

also berlin

[native hatch]

i see

yeah maybe worthwhile

[quasi kayak]

i’ll probably apply

i’m so confused why it’s a whole application

[native hatch]

idk if finaid would fully cover it

cus u need to sort finaid

[quasi kayak]

right

[native hatch]

they make u pay for it

but they subsidize it

up to what you’re paying per semester here

they match that anywhere abroad

[quasi kayak]

yeah dk if the price will be worth it

i pay $7k a semester or whatever

[native hatch]

yeah ic ic

[quasi kayak]

i just want more time in the semester and i don’t want to max out my credits lawl

[hybrid bay]

what major?

[native hatch]

depends on what major/if ur double majoring

[small wadi]

guys can we please jsut double the supp word counts

150 is not enough

[quasi kayak]

love how dodge is terrible

where do we go gym if dodge sucks ball

[devout mirage]

Dodge isn't that bad tbf

[devout mirage]

[devout mirage]

Its fine ppl just complain alot

[native hatch]

john jay goes so hard rn

[quasi kayak]

eat

[reef glacier]

for the video supplement, does seas require a maker portfolio? Or can it be any of the provided types of portfolios?

[reef glacier]

help would be appreciated 🥹

[golden flint]

150 is great! short prompts are the best

[south hemlock]

NAH the 150 supps BTFO me

[golden flint]

they're good when u have barely anything to say 🤣 so excellent speed writing supps

[south hemlock]

SMH

disappointing america!

[wise haven]

my life is disappointing so im finally winning with the 150

[native hatch]

i don’t think seas requires a maker portfolio

isn’t the video supplement optional

you don’t need to submit a research abstract or a maker portfolio

[wise haven]

theres a video supplement?

[devout mirage]

yes it is

[late grotto]

do you have any Ws

[remote raptor]

Does anyone want to review my Columbia supplementals?

Also any tips on how to do the why us essay prompt?

[wise haven]

i wonder

[late grotto]

What

[wise haven]

i wonder if i do

[late grotto]

No EA?

[wise haven]

i meant suny but

those dont count

[keen elbow]

does anyone know

[wise haven]

know what

[keen elbow]

if the fin econ major requires the ap exams listed on the bulletin or if it's strictly for credit post-matriculation

the website's language is confusing

[native hatch]

it doesn’t require any AP exams

[keen elbow]

thank you

[wise haven]

thats jsut for credit

[native hatch]

it’s just for credit

[wise haven]

if u get in

[keen elbow]

my school doesn't offer mic or mac so I'd be fucked

[native hatch]

i think ur fine

u don’t need to come in with ap credit

[keen elbow]

thank you

yeah I have some just

none related to my major

[native hatch]

i didn’t have any related to my major either and i’m fine

[keen elbow]

ah

good to know

[late grotto]

bro SUNYs are Ws bruh

[wise haven]

i didnt get them back

and i cannot pay them

[late grotto]

?

Oh wait myb lmao

[remote raptor]

any tips on how to do why columbia?

[exotic mortar]

is a research abstract just the abstract for your research

how the fuck is it supposed to be one page in length

if you have a one page long abstract you fucked up

unless i know jack shit about academia

which i probably know jack shit about acadeima

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-44241-8 like for this paper

would the abstract literally not just be

"The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a crucial regulator of cell growth. It senses nutrient signals and adjusts cellular metabolism accordingly. Deregulation of mTORC1 has been associated with metabolic diseases, cancer, and aging. Amino acid signals are transduced to mTORC1 through sensor proteins and two protein complexes named GATOR1 and GATOR2. In this study, we identify VWCE (von Willebrand factor C and EGF domains) as a negative regulator of amino acid-dependent mTORC1 signaling. Knockdown of VWCE promotes mTORC1 activity even in the absence of amino acids. VWCE interacts with the KICSTOR complex to facilitate the recruitment of GATOR1 to the lysosomes. Bioinformatic analysis reveals that expression of VWCE is reduced in prostate cancer. More importantly, overexpression of VWCE inhibits the development of prostate cancer. Therefore, VWCE may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of prostate cancers."

how is this supposed to be a page long

and how am i supposed to make it a pdf

do i just copy and paste it into a pdf editor

💀

i don't understand?

[native hatch]

it’s not

[exotic mortar]

how do i make it a pdf

do i literally just copypaste it into overleaf

and save it as a pdf

i dont understand

why can't they just make me submit it like a call for abstracts

[native hatch]

i guess

[exotic mortar]

how did you do yours

[native hatch]

i didn’t submit an abstract

[exotic mortar]

oh

rip

i literally dont understand

this is so confusing

[native hatch]

i didn’t have research outside of ssp

[exotic mortar]

did you not have a projet

you presented

or anything

[native hatch]

I mean technically yes

i’ve done independent projects

but you should only submit an abstract if you did it with a prof imo

[exotic mortar]

ah unfortunate

[native hatch]

put in ecs if it was a project

u need to have a mentor for submitting research to columbia

[exotic mortar]

nah i had a mentor

although they weren't a very good one

[native hatch]

credentials

were they a phd

[exotic mortar]

they were a professor

full professor

at purdue

[native hatch]

ok so i don’t see why you wouldn’t submit

[exotic mortar]

okay i'll submit one

do you think it helps at all

i wanna bag this acceptance so bad

so i can go to the admitted students weekend

and see y'all

[native hatch]

probably

[golden flint]

using a template for why us schools helps

[echo patio]

@jovial flume

[ashen sierra]

are there ways to get around the columbia first year dorm policy?

[winged hinge]

it’s max one page lol

don’t let it be one page

it’s not like they’re going to give u a hard word count for an abstract

[exotic mortar]

how'd u do urs

[winged hinge]

i put it into word

[exotic mortar]

can i check mine with you after im done

[winged hinge]

one leaf is probably fine too

[exotic mortar]

💀

[winged hinge]

doesn’t rly matter

lmfao sure

again i don’t think the format matters that much but ya sure

[native hatch]

wdym

[ashen sierra]

Like we can contact residential housing if we can’t dorm right

[native hatch]

why can’t you dorm?

[ashen sierra]

My parents are opposed

[native hatch]

i think you have to dorm unless you have a serious medical or religious issue

[ashen sierra]

I talked to someone who was able to get an exemption without a medical or religious issue

I just don’t know how common it is

[native hatch]

might be up to housing then yeah

not very common

like 98% of undergrads live in housing

[ashen sierra]

I know most people don't dorm I meant how common they grant an exemption

[native hatch]

not sure

i would contact housing

[bitter iris]

if i did independent research is it worth putting?

also im doing research rn, the project is still underway but i could make an abstract of what has been done so far and submit? would that be fine

[native hatch]

id think so

well not like in the abstract

maybe mention it

you need a mentor

to submit an abstract

[dusk trellis]

hi yall

i regret not eding here

but rd 👍

[small wadi]

same ong

[dusk trellis]

I had my gut feeling to do it here but my dad said I have better chances in duke due to higher acceptance rate in ed

that turned well 😃

[quasi kayak]

why would u ed to a school for its acceptance rate

[dusk trellis]

my dad told me to

[remote raptor]

u have a template?

[south hemlock]

My template is the schools vibe fr

[golden flint]

kinda sorta already know how ill be opening and writing them so its easier

[devout mirage]

fax (i almost did)

[keen elbow]

About how many days after submitting your common app does columbia typically send you your information

[rose zenith]

guys, accepted students or applicants, please tell me how was the writing process for you because 150 limit is killing me

[hybrid bay]

@quasi kayak

[rose zenith]

LITERALLY duke’s ed % was such a lie 😒

never believe that stats guys

[small wadi]

it's not good

actually dying while cutting out all the cool details id like to talk about

[rose zenith]

SAME

[native hatch]

just condense your language imo

what i did was i tried to convey as much of myself in as little space as possible

[small wadi]

🤯 no way bro

[native hatch]

but i think the word limits were higher when i applied

[quasi kayak]

wrote em in a night. figure out what’s most important to you

find the one or two things that really connect with you

[rose zenith]

It makes me sound like 3th grader ngl

[rose zenith]

1 night? daamn

[quasi kayak]

well yes!

[small wadi]

despite, not because

[keen elbow]

Pls

[quasi kayak]

i also had some flyin apps that i repurposed tho

[native hatch]

not to say i hate columbia but i hate columbia rn

[quasi kayak]

as in? they sent a confirmation email 3 days later but you can log into ur portal immediately i think

[quasi kayak]

oh brother

what now

[dusk trellis]

Duke ed was prolly less than Columbia 😭😭😭😭

[faint pasture]

I made it consistent at every prompt, 3 paragraphs with 50 words each (approx)

Are there egleston scholars in Columbia ED?

[native hatch]

Oh how?

[hybrid bay]

Imma submit 2 too

[golden flint]

i made an intro, talked about a quality that i loved ab the school that could be tailored to any school, and then added school specific info on clubs/orgas and whatnot

like i always have a rough idea on how to write them

[devout mirage]

W major

[quasi kayak]

yalls were so much better developed than mine

[golden flint]

Really !!!

Mine wasn’t that deep tho lol

Its mid ish

Do you wanna look at it, I could really use feedback

[quasi kayak]

i write ab core

and like

a few clubs

all of it was tied to a common part of how i wanted to develop myself tho? idk

i need to start an ivy counseling grift

[south hemlock]

is this why major + at columbia college/engineering

or why columbia

[quasi kayak]

i took it strictly as a why major

maybe dabble in why specifically cu, but note you have 150 words and a whole other essay about cu

[south hemlock]

huh, im pretty sure it's why major at columbia

[hybrid bay]

if u think abt it its rlly a 300 word why major at columbia essay

[south hemlock]

i didnt mention my major at all in the why columbia essay tbh

[quasi kayak]

sure but i didn’t talk at all ab cu in my major essay

[quasi kayak]

this .

they have a whole essay about cu, u need enough space to talk ab ur major

[south hemlock]

168 words 🫡

[quasi kayak]

i should NOT give essay advice lmg these r terrible

[quasi kayak]

go ahead. take my advice w a grain of salt

[native hatch]

i’m free rn if anyone wants me to review their supps i go to columbia send in the next hr and i’ll give it a look

[quasi kayak]

my dms are off lmao

[native hatch]

i don’t think mine are but i have a bad habit of never responding

i had my last final technically

so i’m just cleaning and doing chores until i leave saturday

[quasi kayak]

i’m just an admitted student so idk caca but if yall send me ur supps ill give u my minuscule advice + what i learned at the flyin

[quasi kayak]

you never responded to my insta dm

it was hilarious. i’m ashamed

[hybrid bay]

i dont know if it was..

[native hatch]

you said ONE WORD

[quasi kayak]

i was expecting at least a lol or a threat

[native hatch]

i responded

[quasi kayak]

thanks

i feel a lot better now

[keen elbow]

In years past what day does RD typically come in

[quasi kayak]

ivy day

lol

!ivyday

[neat marten]

ApplyingToCollege

[south hemlock]

dealing with a Moment of weakness !

[quasi kayak]

??

[south hemlock]

oh no not u

nothing about u

[quasi kayak]

okayyy!

[versed current]

is environmental engineering at columbia considered a decent program?
I really like it and it is abet accredited but was just curious

[quasi kayak]

fu in general is good i’m sure any of their programs will be great

[reef glacier]

I would love to send you my supps if I had any

[south hemlock]

better get cooking

[reef glacier]

I am writing Columbia today 🥹

[versed current]

thank you!

[keen elbow]

Gl

I submitted this morning

[native hatch]

yes absolutely lol we have the lamont doherty earth observatory which is the leader in a ton of environmental fields

[small wadi]

bro the lamont thing is goated

[native hatch]

environmental engineering and anything with geophysics is hella strong here

[small wadi]

wait can i dm something

im curious as to what kinda of advice a2cers give

[native hatch]

i toured and tried to rizz a few PIs but they blatantly told me they look down not up 🔥 no astro anything there

[native hatch]

sure

[versed current]

thanks for sharing!

[quasi kayak]

don’t realize doherty also did geology LOL

i’m gonna whip to doherty jsut bc pretty

[native hatch]

u get to tour as part of frosci afaik

that’s how i went

[quasi kayak]

PERIODDDD

is doherty not open to all students?

[native hatch]

it is

but talking to specific labs and stuff

there’s a free shuttle that takes u to doherty

[south hemlock]

168 words to 150 words !

[native hatch]

ugh my friends all leaving complaining abt things on their way out

IM STILL HERE

i cant even leave until SATURDAY

there’s no dining hall service the next 2d

😞

[quasi kayak]

i would be rioting

[native hatch]

it’s ok.

i’m content. it’s fine

[dense gyro]

for the engineering research supplement, if the research i did was classified (military, can't provide abstract or papers) should i just not fill out the supp?

[remote raptor]

Could someone please review my Columbia supps pls?

[quasi kayak]

@native hatch fav study locales?

[native hatch]

international affairs library

and my floor lounge

[quasi kayak]

law library 🤭

[native hatch]

I CANT GE TIN

IF INCOULD I WOULD

[quasi kayak]

its so bizarre

what r we gonna do

[devout mirage]

dw ill get us in

[native hatch]

shut up

[native hatch]

idk

sneak in

[devout mirage]

i will

[native hatch]

thats what i do for international affairs library

you can’t get into IAB after 10pm

as an ugrad

i just have people open the door for me after showing my ID

[devout mirage]

columbia kinda sounds like 1984

[red cliff]

ik u can request specific halls but can you request a single within a hall or is it just luck? cus idrc which hall i just want a single

[native hatch]

luck

[hybrid bay]

why do u all want singles

r roommates that bad

[native hatch]

No

[hybrid bay]

thats what i thot

[rose zenith]

let’s be roommates together at columbia 🤝🏻🤝🏻

[quasi kayak]

terrified i’m gonna hate my roommate

[weak delta]

youre gonna hate me?

[quasi kayak]

oh hell nah

[weak delta]

damn didnt have to be so rude about it

[quasi kayak]

LMFAO

i need my roomie to be a complete stranger

no expectations

[weak delta]

im ngl you seem to vibrant for me

[quasi kayak]

i feel like someone is soooo diff irl like

im rlly hoping i get a roomie that respects personal space

thats all i need

😌

my half is my half

your half is yours

[quasi kayak]

i literally do not care as long as there is no egregious mess or weirdo behavior

[hybrid bay]

no

[quasi kayak]

what

[hybrid bay]

ur getting a single!

[quasi kayak]

insha allah but i’m not banking on it

[hybrid bay]

oh well

[fallow mantle]

can the research supplement be my preview of a research proposal?

[faint pasture]

It should be the abstract

Can I take a double major of Economics and Materials Sci & Eng at Columbia?

[faint pasture]

ok nvm

I asked current students and they said it’s kinda impossible

I think a minor is a great idea tho

[bitter iris]

Why are you interested in attending Columbia University? We encourage you to consider the aspect(s) that you find unique and compelling about Columbia. (150)

why us?

What attracts you to your preferred areas of study at Columbia College? (150)

why major?

[native hatch]

yes

you can’t double w/ seas & cc unless you do a 3+2 program

however u can do a minor yeah

[native hatch]

abstract i would think…? it has to be actual research you’ve done or are working on

[versed current]

we don't have to apply for 3+2 right now, right?

[native hatch]

nope

[versed current]

thank you!

is it hard to transfer from engineering to arts and sciences if there's like a sudden change in interest or something?

[native hatch]

No

though you should do it freshman year

[quasi kayak]

i thought it was hard to transfer lol

[native hatch]

yeah from like barnard to cc/seas

[quasi kayak]

hmmm

let me cook………

@native hatch aren’t you staying in the college?

[native hatch]

yes

[quasi kayak]

why

[native hatch]

wdym why

i’m a pure math and physics junkie

[quasi kayak]

oh that’s right

[native hatch]

i’m not an engineer

[quasi kayak]

seas only has applied

[native hatch]

yes

[quasi kayak]

ewww but seas u have to take chem

[native hatch]

ya

[quasi kayak]

hm

[red cliff]

yk how when we applied we said our interests? does that automatically become our major or do we have to officially declare sophomore yr?

[keen elbow]

Soph

[wise haven]

soph

[wise haven]

suffering in chem for one semseter is worth never taking it again

and for no core

[quasi kayak]

and physics 😍😆

[native hatch]

i got a 98% on my lit hum final 🤭

secured my A

[quasi kayak]

BAGGED

do ppl genuinely not read the lit him stuff

[hybrid bay]

holy i j checked the reading list

so much BIBLE... i thought i'd leave that after high school.

[wise haven]

No there’s a lot

[winged hinge]

one semester of chem bro

[quasi kayak]

I HAVE TO TAKE THAT ON TOP OF LITHUM THO

[winged hinge]

?? not in SAES

SEAS*

[quasi kayak]

to transfer

i think i’d have to take both reqs until im swapped

[winged hinge]

uhh talk to ur advisor i don’t think it’s that annoying

[quasi kayak]

i will when i get there

idk if it’s the right choice yet tho lol

[winged hinge]

[blazing jungle]

The Bible is objectively the most influential work of literature in history

[hybrid bay]

So..

We choose either Lit Hum, Civ, or Global Core?

[lapis tendon]

150 words.... not enough.

[weak delta]

True but at least its easier to write

[quasi kayak]

for seas yeah\

[hazy nacelle]

does the Columbia Engineering CS have the same acceptance rate as Columbia College CS

[quasi kayak]

they don’t admit by major, and the schools have diff acceptance rates but neither r easier to get into

[native hatch]

they don’t admit by major, CC has a lower acceptance rate than SEAS though

[hazy nacelle]

by how much

[native hatch]

i mean what it’s like 3% versus 4% lol

[weak delta]

[native hatch]

not much difference

[hazy nacelle]

yea ill probably do the college then

cuz i think i want to do a double major in smtg other than engineering

[safe gale]

get into columbia easy hack do the dual degree programs

like this year yk noooo one is gonna be applying to the columbia tel aviv dual degree program, easy path to an ivy league

[bitter iris]

but ur not in the US tho

[quasi kayak]

in gs…

[hazy nacelle]

what even is the tel aviv program and how do you apply for it

i dont see it on common app

[safe gale]

you can still put columbia on ur linkedin!!!

[safe gale]

through the gs portal

[hazy nacelle]

what is GS

[safe gale]

general school

just google international dual degree programs

[hazy nacelle]

so you cant apply through common app

[safe gale]

no

[hazy nacelle]

so if you get into the dual degree program, you have to go to tel aviv?

[quasi kayak]

i’m not knocking it but ur BA from TAU is in like 5 english/humanity forward majors

[quasi kayak]

yes. this is the point

[hazy nacelle]

but im not tryna get bombed

isnt that right near gaza

[safe gale]

well thats why the acceptance rate is high

[hazy nacelle]

whats the acceptance rate

46% holy shit

[safe gale]

yeah and its probably gonna be higher this year

[hazy nacelle]

prolly like 100%

cuz nobody is applying

[safe gale]

exactly

200 iq move

[safe gale]

im applying to the trinity one for like poli sci

[hazy nacelle]

lowk

why am i considering this

but its just not gonna be possible

[safe gale]

well only the brave few who can tolerate living next to an active warzone get ivy league easy access

[quasi kayak]

yall r so

ijbol

[hazy nacelle]

Darn it

My parents said no

If u apply to tel Aviv and get in can u transfer to just Columbia

[safe gale]

💀💀💀

[weak delta]

Not immediately

Probably not at all

💀

[safe gale]

yeah you gotta do two years in israel first

[hazy nacelle]

I won’t be alive to transfer then ☠️

[quasi kayak]

no

also yall r privy to GS’s financial aid 😍(nonexistent)

[hazy nacelle]

What do they do if nobody applies

[safe gale]

so itll be like a medal of honor if you make it out to columbia

[quasi kayak]

nobody goes?😍

[hazy nacelle]

I mean the program still exists

So that means people applied in co 2027

That’s crazy

[safe gale]

i mean unless tel aviv university ceases to exist there will probably still be demand for the program

[hazy nacelle]

Also

List a selection of texts, resources and outlets that have contributed to your intellectual development outside of academic courses, including but not limited to books, journals, websites, podcasts, essays, plays, presentations, videos, museums and other content that you enjoy. (100 words or fewer)*

Im confused as to what the purpose of this supplemental is

[wise haven]

roommate and type of person in ur free time

what do u do to keep learning

columbia is a place of nerds

[hazy nacelle]

i see

[quasi kayak]

to show the admissions committee how intellectual and creative and vivacious you are by listing verbose classics that you haven’t read like the art of war and such

[hazy nacelle]

i thought there was a separte roommate form

[hazy nacelle]

so ur suppoesd to lie ☠️ ?

[quasi kayak]

no lmfao i’m joking

just put things you like

[wise haven]

i literally put yt channels bro

and instagram tags

you will be fine

[hazy nacelle]

did u getin?

[quasi kayak]

@wise haven did u get deferred

[wise haven]

yes

i am dumb

[devout mirage]

W

[devout mirage]

how much physics

[winged hinge]

2

[devout mirage]

bruh

im not gonna survive

physics 2 is gonna kill me

[hybrid bay]

virile!

[quasi kayak]

yes

[winged hinge]

broo

yall. need to chill

[quasi kayak]

🙏🏻

[devout mirage]

imma ban u

both

[quasi kayak]

what

did i miss something

[devout mirage]

sus #1135690866162405496 message

[quasi kayak]

what about it lol

[devout mirage]

the v word

[quasi kayak]

R U KIDDING ME LMFAO

[hybrid bay]

LMFOAOAOAOA

dont hate on pookie cj @devout mirage

[quasi kayak]

i tastefully edited the message to remove any possible objectionable content to please the company of the court. prithee, sirrah

[hybrid bay]

vivacious just isn’t the same.

[quasi kayak]

I KNOW BUT I HAVE TO PLEASE THE FINE (?) PPL OF THIS SERGER

being a court jester isn’t easy

[versed current]

i saw a post on reddit r/columbia where they talk about how so many kids tell others the wrong answers in harder stem classes in seas just to stay above the curve and that is kinda a trend.
is that true? or is just one or 2 kids spoiling the reputation?
in general is the culture like that?

[dusk trellis]

Man acceptance rate for getting out of that shit show will be less than getting into Columbia

[native hatch]

no

not at all lol

i mean some classes are graded on a curve

that’s true

[versed current]

thanks for sharing

[bitter iris]

is there grade inflation

[native hatch]

no

the opposite

we’re lowkey very deflated in stem

[weak delta]

Damn

F

[native hatch]

but still massively good for premed and law

so idk

[weak delta]

Harvard it is then guys

@native hatch can i major in environmental science and concentrate in business administration

Please say yes im not tryna redo my supp 😭

[native hatch]

yes

[weak delta]

Yippeeeee

[lapis tendon]

for the list essay am I allowed to put albums?

[warm storm]

shoot im having trouble on the list one 😭

[wise haven]

Why does everyone struggle with that it was easy 😭

[icy blade]

@quasi kayak sorry for ping but NO FINAID??? at columbia gs????

i got different answers online

like the columbia x sciences po

[south hemlock]

columbia gs is pretty trash with aid

[icy blade]

that's super annoying bc their cc is really good with financial aid

like the <150k income pay 0 tuition which is a really high benchmark

[quasi kayak]

depends by program sometimes but they definitely do not meet full need

hardly

like there’s barely any institutional aid

[quasi kayak]

yes bc cc is harder to get into so they can guarantee that

[lapis tendon]

idk if im being unique or not tbh

[primal kernel]

can i change my major to a CC major if i get into SEAS

[wise haven]

transferring out is easier than transferring in, but u do know that itll be hard to get back in and u have to take a LOT of core

[primal kernel]

oh so if i apply to columbia, i should be definite that i want to do SEAS cuase its hard to transfer to CC and meet up with the requirements, right?

[golden flint]

Yeah it was 🤣

[orchid loom]

Wondering if you could take a look at my columbia essays

[ashen sierra]

This is just because more people apply to CC so the acceptance rate is lower

I think on average students who get into SEAS have better academics overall

[quasi kayak]

the same thing is guaranteed for seas

l

[stone dawn]

bro columbia has so many supplementals and such low word count 😫

[hazy nacelle]

yea it has the most out of all my RD schools

[wise haven]

indeed

[devout mirage]

nah

maybe in terms of stem but not overall academics lmao

[small wadi]

Guys how does double majoring work at Columbia

[devout mirage]

what school

[small wadi]

Columbia college

[devout mirage]

@native hatch

[small wadi]

If that’s what you’re asking

[devout mirage]

seas its horrible from what i heard

major requirements cant overlap so you have to take alternate classes

[small wadi]

Engineers deserve it🥱🥱

[devout mirage]

caly's double majoring so i'd just wait until she responds

idt its that hard cuz a fair amt of ppl do it

[small wadi]

Ok cool

My main question is that if both majors make you do a senior thesis if you can combine them into a single thesis but make it extra cool

[devout mirage]

nah we dont

we deserve showers

[native hatch]

sorry i just woke up hi

so you can double major in cc basically and all you do is take the major requirements for both majors + core

and that’s it

when you go to declare you declare a double

[small wadi]

Coolio

[small wadi]

@native hatch any idea about this??

[native hatch]

i have no clue but i don’t think it matters

you prob could

they don’t require one

if you’re thinking about math and something else

math doesn’t require a senior thesis none of them do

it’s optional

so you can prob do whatever you want

[small wadi]

Ok cool

Thanks for the insight

[blazing jungle]

Ooof
