#

if i’m a pretty average decently smart person should i try to ED to columbia when the time comes or should i ED to a school like BU so my chances are better?

quasi rover
mental garnet
#

like the highest ranking uni on your list

#

or your favorite uni

#

if you love boston more than columbia ed BU

#

or else do columbia

#

bcuz if you ED bu and get in you'd always have that feeling of what if i'd gotten in to columbia

#

even if you ED columbia and get rejected, you'd know that you shot your shot and it just wasn't the right fit for you

#

plus a bunch of people who ED top unis usually are exceptional students so even if they get rejected ED they usually get into similar unis so if you're ED'ing columbia you're prolly the kind of student who'll get into BU without the ED boost

Do NOT 😡 refer to the mighty 💪 COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 👑 as CU!! 👎The shortening 🤏 of a university's name 😍 is a degradation 🤢 reserved for only the lowly 🍑 D-tier universities. 😩 Would you call Harvard HU? 🔫or perhaps Yale YU? 😐 why must Columbia 🛐, just as prestigious 💰 if not more 🥴 be subjected to this amoral 😵‍💫 fate of abbreviation??? 🫨

#

No point in doing rolling now tbh

#

Unless u really like the school

#

I only applied to Pitt because I did it really early and got an acceptance early as assurance

rain raven
#

If I get into Columbia I'll eat some chicken wings

regal knoll
#

I'm planning on applying to Pitt

edgy knoll
#

I only applied to Pitt because I did it really really early on and therefore got my acceptance really early on too

#

Just as an assurance that I can go to school SOMEWHERE

#

By now you’ve probably gotten into desired safeties

regal knoll
#

no

#

I only applied to Harvard early and I was deferred

#

now I only have 1 acceptance from my local medical school

#

0 US schools

#

also where the hell is my portal Columbia :((((

#

Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations near Columbia?

#

I'm going to Columbia for a comp in a few weeks and the supervisor said I can't bring my own food 😭

native hatch
#

famiglia good for pizza and italian food

#

then there’s like, kyuramen which gives you free drinks/deserts for leaving reviews, and has good decently priced ramen

#

hungarian pastry is a staple (but prob busy), there’s also absolute bagels which has REALLY good bagels for pretty cheap w/ specialty spreads and meat but you have to pay in cash

#

strokos might be good too im not sure tbh i’ll have to try it sometime

#

and ofc the goat, roti roll, which has bombay burritos / indian food for pretty cheap and is overall very good

arctic spruce
#

Definitely gonna check that out

#

Thanks @native hatch blobheart

#

does getting a C in honors precalc this marking period ruin my chance of getting into columbia?

devout mirage
primal kernel
wise haven
devout mirage
wise haven
#

And a C in precalc is literalt a HUGE problem

devout mirage
#

seas is like 3.4 and cc is like 3 something iirc

wise haven
#

The entire point of seas is engineering

#

U need to show u can do math

devout mirage
#

you'd have a better chance in cc with a c in precalc tbh

devout mirage
#

or are just strong in those areas

#

cc looks more broadly

plain timber
#

i shouldve applied cc

devout mirage
#

applying to seas because it's "easier" is kinda wild because it's really not

plain timber
#

i didnt get the chance to talk to my counselor before break though so i didnt know if like my letters of rec mentioned that i wanted to do engineering and it couldve conflicted

devout mirage
plain timber
#

yeah i also didnt wanna lie on my essays and make up bs about wanting to study another major

#

its just calc bc kinda kicked my ass this year because i didnt put enough focus into the class

#

its ok ima make a comeback this semester

devout mirage
#

i mean if you got a B i'm sure you'll be alr

plain timber
#

i didnt get a good grade and i had RLY good grades before this year

#

i was gonna be valedictorian

#

but then i had to work a job and it was golf season and i was distracted

#

yeah i didnt get a c so

#

plus i skipped AB

#

went straight from precalc

primal kernel
devout mirage
plain timber
#

yeah calc bc is my only b

#

and i got a 36 on act so

devout mirage
plain timber
#

hopefully that can cover for it

#

tyy

devout mirage
#

one B aint really the end of the world imo

winged hinge
#

sorry 😔

#

we got a little too silly

brisk cape
#

lol I just developed a new stress

#

is it ok to use the word 'deja vu' in an essay

#

it's a french word ig but not sure if it fits formal writing in english

#

do essays have to be absolutely formally written? Will this be a problem? 🤧

loud talon
#

no lol

#

the aos will def appreciate personality in your essays

#

dont overanalyze and just relax now

#

because i cannot post gifs, the above link is a calmly smiling sloth sitting on a hammock meant to provide reassurance

winged hinge
#

skill issue perhaps

loud talon

I never recieved a ID in my portal, is it because i mistakenly put I don't plan on applyign for finaid

bitter iris
#

did columbia seriously fucking extend

quartz yoke

#

15 day extension

#

the amount u coulda done with that time…..

#

my essays would’ve been so much more refined

digital ginkgo
#

GUYS DID COLUMBIA EXTEND

#

If it did then i am begging someone to send a source here to confirm

#

i didnt apply to columbia because i didnt have enough time but if they extended then that could be a lifesaver

uneven tiger
runic tartan
#

people who had it in their commonapp had deeadlines extended

#

#🚀-general-chat message

digital ginkgo
#

i had it in my commonapp but then i removed it after i missed the deadline

#

not giving me the prompt

#

well whatever

runic tartan
#

i mean if you really want to apply there try contacting them for a personal extension

pure coyote

pure coyote
#

nyu did like 6 days

#

i think

#

or 5

digital ginkgo
#

also i dont have a reason why i missed it i just did

pure coyote
#

same thing happened to me w upenn

pure coyote
#

oh

#

you should have

#

i did idk

#

racism angrysad

pure coyote
#

idk man

digital ginkgo
#

i was checking commonapp, not the site

pure coyote
#

oh idk anything abotu that

#

i got that in my email

digital ginkgo
#

oh yeah i got it in my email as well

#

oops

#

💀

runic tartan
digital ginkgo
#

nyu was never near the top of my list anyways so its whatever

digital ginkgo
#

what do i even send

#

and to who

runic tartan
#

send an email to columbia's undergrad admissions office

digital ginkgo
#

ill consider it. thanks

#

actually could they even tell who got the extension and who didnt?

#

like if i just submitted mine then like would they check to see if i got an extension or not first?

#

i guess thatd make sense but id also imagine they gave an extension to thousands of people so idk if theyd have the patience nor time to check all of them

#

idk. maybe im overthinking it

runic tartan
#

i think it's randomized bc i didn't get an extension for yale but some of my friends did

#

still got my app downloaded

#

even tho it was way past deadline

native hatch
#

they’re not reviewing apps yet

#

we don’t even go back from break until jan 16

lament sapphire
#

how difficult is columbia regular decision

#

i heard the acceptance rate is less than 3% for rd but nothing online is coming up

wispy moat
#

its 4% online

#
  • do you really think columbia would be some sort of exception?
lament sapphire
wispy moat
#

so its really competitive no matter what

#

if its 2% or 7% same thing

lament sapphire
#

our school barely sends anyone to columbia

#

like 2 kids in the past 5 years and 1 of them got in this year but with legacy

#

is there a way to know if it's blacklisted

wispy moat
#

never knew you could blacklist high schools

#

if you ask me , they won't waste their time blacklisting schools , they could just see individual application like they always do

lament sapphire
#

our school was apparently blacklisted from stanford

#

for a couple of years cuz someone lied on their app

#

a kid got in last year tho

wispy moat
#

im no american fyi

wispy moat
#

probably a rumer

#

you can always reach out to schools for your concerns

lament sapphire
#

im not sure if it's worth now

#

i already submitted my app

#

im not hoping for much cuz literally no one has gotten in past 10 years

wispy moat
#

you ≠ your school

#

you are unique and there are many ways you shine beyond your school

#

but still columbia accepts a few hunderds yk out of thousands of applicants

lament sapphire
#

yea

#

im not expecting anything

wispy moat
#

its logical it will be one in the blue

#

for regular high schools

lament sapphire
#

the best schools that our school sends kids to are upenn, princeton and cornell

#

like we had 1 kid get into stanford last year and another kid got into columbia this year but had legacy

#

it's kind of expected no one's getting into anywhere better

wispy moat
#

you can try all of the top schools

#

its always possible that one of them will scratch their head and admit you

lament sapphire
#

i feel like it's unlikely

wispy moat
#

it is

lament sapphire
#

there were a lot of really smart kids last year that didnt get in

#

like this really cracked kid got rejected from yale when everyone expected him to get in

#

ik everyone applied to columbia last year

wispy moat
#

what are are some of your ecs?

lament sapphire
#

the kid that got in this year, while he hsa a good app, idt he would have gotten in without legacy and his app was kind of made for the columbia since his parents were able to get him a college counselor

lament sapphire
wispy moat
#

do smart kids in your school have strong ecs?

lament sapphire
#

everyone in my grade has good stats

wispy moat
#

I really wonder how ecs work in US

lament sapphire
#

a lot of ppl have solid ec's

#

like 1 girl got into wharton from my school with 1 in school EC

#

but they had this business that generated a lot of money

wispy moat
#

wait

#

are ECs obligatory

#

in US

lament sapphire
#

pretty much

#

there's no other way to get in

wispy moat
#

I mean are you forced to

lament sapphire
#

you arent forced to but if you just grind out school you wont get into anywhere good

wispy moat
#

yeah

lament sapphire
#

a lot of ppl with high stats but poor ec's end up at our state school which isnt bad by any means but there is a huge stigma of attending since eveyrone goes there

wispy moat
#

i feel i am at a disadvantage in ecs

lament sapphire
#

im hoping i get into either columbia, princeton or cmu

wispy moat
#

you have so many opportunities and encouragments

#

in usa

lament sapphire
#

yea but there are a lot of kids in my grade that had a lot of advantages

lament sapphire
#

like one kid's mom was a college counselor and another's mom is a doctor so they go on a lot of medical missions

wispy moat
#

whats your major EC

lament sapphire
#

i dont have 1 major ec

#

i have all of them spread out

#

i dont have 1 that really stands out

wispy moat
#

i am really curious , do you mind share your ecs in DM , ill share mine

#

if you are okay with it of course

lament sapphire
#

im not gonna share cuz i dont want to get doxxed

#

someone in my grade made a rant post on reddit after they got rejected from their ed school and shit talked a lot of ppl in my grade

wispy moat
#

ehhhh

#

I am definitively in no position or capacity to do that

#

as you like

#

best of luck 🫡

native hatch
#

as long as you’re passionate about what you’re doing

wispy moat
#

I think a spike can be better

#

it shows your dedicated and not just try it all

native hatch
#

eh it’s whatever you’re interested in tbh.

wispy moat
#

that was what I was going to say

native hatch
#

if you spend a lot of time doing something you might naturally have a spike

#

but you don’t necessarily need to have one

wispy moat
#

ofc

native hatch
#

i didn’t really have any singular spike

lament sapphire
#

i mean last acceptance before this year was in 2021

#

there were a ton of smart kids last year and if they couldnt get in idk how anyone in my grade can get in

native hatch
#

i was my school’s first columbia acceptance in history

#

you don’t need to necessarily feed to be able to get into a school

#

it’s more individualized than you think

lament sapphire
#

but dont they compare with other ppl who apply from your school
