Email them

[golden flint]

they never respond to my emails

and I’ve called

I’m scared they’re going to withdraw my app lol

[supple coyote]

They are just assistants

Tell them you should communicate with operations department regarding your situation

If your problem persists, consider contacting your regional ao

I have an email address for the director of operations so if you couldn't solve your problem dm me

[golden flint]

where can I find my regional AO?

And I’ll be sure to dm you tysm

Most of my friends from EPC got into Columbia ED or stanford etc

[pure sonnet]

[quartz yoke]

[halcyon flame]

[lilac mango]

Anyone here doing Trinity program?

[quasi kayak]

afaik stars went 100% but i dont know that for sure

[winged lion]

help i think Columbia looked at my piano supp

[mental garnet]

omg piano what did you play

[winged lion]

ondine from gaspard and ballade no 3!

not much contrast unfortunately but oh well

[digital hedge]

OOOOO

they give the music to professors to rate

sometimes

[winged lion]

hopefully not juilliard!

i wish i submitted to stanny but i missed the deadline

YouTube studio

it’s prob diff for research sry

[weak delta]

Why they click off after 1/4 tho 😭

Damn thats crazy shade

[winged lion]

oh nah that’s just saying 23% of my viewers came from slideroom LOL

but they might’ve 😭

[weak delta]

Oh word

Lmfao

[rain raven]

hi everyone

[toxic jasper]

how do see that? what do you click

[golden flint]

[winged lion]

YouTube studio -> engagement!

[digital hedge]

OMG

[supple coyote]

congrats

what did you do

[golden flint]

called them twice lol

finally when i called they said they will get someone to fix my portal bc more than 1 app was open

i just sent in an update to admissions so i hope they read it

[digital hedge]

My rec letter took a month to process

Idk what Columbia has been doing

[golden flint]

its taken a month for me to get access to my portal which is crazy

[random belfry]

I still haven't received an official portal login email lol

I got my login by clicking on forgot my password, it works fine

[stone dawn]

same

[slow sparrow]

Isn’t that how it was supposed to work for columbia portal?

[random belfry]

From what I've heard from many applicants, it is

@golden flint how did it take a month for you? IIRC I got the email right after doing the forgot my password thing

[golden flint]

I got a confirmation email but even using a temporary pin I couldn’t get into my portal bc apparently there were two accounts open?

So they had to fix that

[coral star]

Columbia or Berkeley MET for startups?

[astral vine]

this question might be better asked in #954425230896545792

[primal kernel]

u have to read the bible as part of the core

and the quran

[native hatch]

Yes

we read new testament, song of songs, job, luke, and john

[winged lion]

tbh I fw that

[golden flint]

That’s super cool! I didn’t know that.

Lowk amazing !

[golden flint]

Chloe your name 😭😭

Made me laugh

[primal kernel]

oh i was saying that in question format not a statement but yea pretty cool

i want to go to columbia fs

[golden flint]

Read like a statement

[primal kernel]

yea ik i forgot the question mark 😭😭

[astral vine]

That’s so cool! I actually really enjoyed the religion classes at my school even though I’m atheist; it really makes a lot of stuff make more sense esp in terms of world politics

[random belfry]

Uhh sorry to disappoint but they were asking a question

[astral vine]

Ope

I am now

Slightly disappointed :,)

[native hatch]

don’t be, i’m p sure we read the quran in contemp civ, and in lit hum we read new testament, song of songs, job, luke, and john

and even in lit hum we read tangential arabic texts coinciding with the quran

[astral vine]

OMG EXCITEMENT IS BACK

[native hatch]

like a few weeks ago we read translator of desires by ibn arabi

which is pretty much just love poetry surrounding arabi circling the kaaba

[astral vine]

Oml I’ve always been curious about Arabian love poetry

This sounds so fun actually

Is it somewhat elective or does everyone take the exact same classes? Like I remember there being required sections but like, are there multiple ways you can fill the core reqs?

[native hatch]

everyone in columbia college takes lit hum and contemp civ

and also art and music hum

and everyone everyone takes university writing

then there’s 2 global and 2 science elective core requirements

and those you can choose whatever

[astral vine]

Ohhhh I c. Thanks!

[primal kernel]

how bout columbia enginnering, do they get to read as well?

[native hatch]

yes you either take lit hum, contemp civ, or 2 global core

[faint pasture]

when will the likely letters be sent?

[winged lion]

early March

[tardy hedge]

does columbia accept update letters for regular decision for like new awards

[winged lion]

portal -> special update form

[tardy hedge]

also in the update form should i address the regional officer or general admissions committtee

[winged lion]

that’s unneeded imo and just adds more words; just be concise and the admissions officer will thank you

[verbal wharf]

where is the link to the form? i dont see it anywhere on the portal website

I dont see anything called the special update form, but i do see this:

[winged lion]

dropdown menu -> app update

it will give u a link

[verbal wharf]

here is the dropdown menu

the second one right?

@winged lion

[winged lion]

Yes

[verbal wharf]

so then this is the correct thing right?

@winged lion

[hollow garden]

yeah once you click on the 2nd option, you get to this page

and then you select like 1 document which you'll be uploading

that's your update

[verbal wharf]

ok just making sure since i had to write an loci for another college and i wasnt sure if i can include some updates for columbia as well

thanks

[hollow garden]

yeah this is what i did

idk how colleges work with updates tho

like

if you've alr been read and rejected

are you just ghosted?

or do they consider your update

i think in that case it just has no impact, but i know some admissions officers say that they wait until the last minute to decide between a few close candidates so in case i go to that stage 🤞 then a loci would be good

[rotund ingot]

[mental garnet]

yo columbia ed accepted peeps

what happens when you open your decision letter like is there confetti or a video or

[pure sonnet]

a video

im peetty sure

[slow sparrow]

A video of the columbia university of new york

[mental garnet]

is it a cool video

[mental garnet]

best cuny fr

[raven shard]

Future me, was it a video?

[mental garnet]

for context im opening all 3 ivies at the same time along with my brother and mom so i wanna see which ivy has the coolest celebration so i can open that one (not me speaking as though im getting in lmfao)

[weak delta]

Which 3

Columbia is a video

Idk ur other 2

[mental garnet]

brown penn

[weak delta]

Yk the thing ur greeted with when opening brown portal

Brown has that same thing

Except with youre in or smth similar

Penn is an acceptance letter that says penn 28 at the top

And confetti

Columbia and yale are the coolest

[native hatch]

it says “click here” and then u get the video

and then when you commit you get confetti

i think you might get confetti when they first present ur offer too

the absolute heart attack i had going from cornell wl to columbia accepted back to back last yr was crazy

i didn’t record bc i thought it was going to be a reject sweep

[weak delta]

Oh I’ve never seen past the video in the youtube 😭

I didnt even know there was a letter lmfao

[native hatch]

[weak delta]

Well looks like ill find out 🫡

[dense grail]

Dear <name>

Greetings from Columbia University! Undergraduate Admissions is considering your admissions application, and we have identified you as a potential candidate for the New York State Arthur O.
Eve Higher Educational Opportunity Program
(HEOP). Students being considered for admission through HEOP must meet certain academic and financial criteria in order to be eligible. If admitted through this highly selective program, not only do students join a vibrant community of scholars, but they also benefit from additional academic and transitional support.
This need-based program provides.. yap yap”

[dense grail]

it wont let me upload a email so i js pasted it

[runic tartan]

its for NY residents only

[devout mirage]

are you an ny resident?

[dense grail]

nyc yea

[native hatch]

heop is rly good. heop and asp both come in i think 2 weeks early and take introductory classes to prepare yourself for college classes once they start

you get a nice cohort, extra support, and i think an earlier registration time

[winged lion]

CONGRATS!!

[lilac mango]

Idk how much you know so sorry if this is repetitive or pointless. Buttttttt, exactly 30 mins. There were two professors, one was a philosophy (major of choice) prof from Trinity and another was just from Columbia. They read your application and essay before the interview. The questions seemed pretty standard like “biggest challenge and how did you overcome” and “what’s prepared you for this program”.

[safe gale]

ooh nice thanks, for the most part that checks out with what ive heard

Something along the lines of early-mid march

For all yall still waiting on your Columbia admission, don't fret if you do not receive a likely. Only a handful of students receive one and most students admitted will not have one

imo it’s just for them to announce scholars/fellows tbh

also yeah + CUSP doesn’t really mean anything other than you have to do a bit more work per sem to maintain standing

[south hemlock]

makes them more likely to pick colum still, since columbia gets a headstart to their attention before a rush happens post march decisions

[mental garnet]

yeah getting into 3-8 ivies at once will not make you feel any special attention to any singular one but getting in 2 weeks early feels special yk

[smoky crater]

what do you guys think about the college writing academy? is it worth the 4k (in terms of general essay writing and looking good for columbia)

they also offer it in the fall for 2k but it ends a week before ED is due so i’m hesitant to go for that

[rotund rapids]

No

[smoky crater]

could u elaborate

[rotund rapids]

I sincerely doubt 4k a course for writing a college essay is worth

Columbia isn’t going to care much that u took a class there

[bitter iris]

give me 4k and ill get u into columbia or else i give u back all the money

[south hemlock]

too early to scam

[smoky crater]

fr

i might do it anyways though

it can only look good

or have no effect

[winged lion]

the effect will be 4k down the drain tho 😭

[bitter iris]

yea but very slightly good

fwiw ur money is better spend elsewhere

[smoky crater]

i see

its like in the evening so i thought if i came back from this stem thing im doing and did this itd be maximizing my time

seems like you guys think its a huge waste of money though

[bitter iris]

do columbia shp its free and better

[smoky crater]

shp?

[bitter iris]

sceince honors program

idk if thats ur interest tho but its better

then that program

[smoky crater]

ill check it out fs

thx

columbia is my dream school and my parents wont dont want me to go to a college out of the city so im doing anything i can lmao

[bitter iris]

doubting ur guys's ability rn.....

[devout mirage]

bro cant even get into columbia himself 🤦‍♂️

[devout mirage]

nah

way better ways if u wanna optimize ur time

[bitter iris]

we'll c 🙄

[smoky crater]

in regards to the program itself?

im not sure if what ur saying is what im thinking

[devout mirage]

the program isnt a good way to spend time or money

it's like a filler thing they genuinely wont care at all

just makes you look rich and spoiled ngl

[winged lion]

*you guys’

[devout mirage]

if i were an ao id rather not know someone dropped 4k for a writing course that provides 0 utility

there isnt even merit behind getting in

[bitter iris]

YYGS 😊

[devout mirage]

at least like for summer programs u have to apply and they're usually competitive

[smoky crater]

thx

[smoky crater]

😭 bruh

[smoky crater]

what does this mean

[smoky crater]

i mean maybe they'd be biased cause its run by them?

i dont have any interest in looking good for schools outside of nyc

its either columbia/nyu or community LOL

yale young global scholars

[smoky crater]

their apps are closed

[young jay]

im assuming its not 1 assist 💀

[young jay]

i think 1580+ is when it acutally becomes negligible

[plucky sandal]

please back up your claim with data thank you!!! 😊 😊 😊

[young jay]

it is

for every college at a certain point test scores aren’t heavily weighted

act it’s like 33*

sat is definitely 1500+

[paper pagoda]

school scattergram

this only applies to lower gpas tho

like a 4.4 gpa with 1550< has a less of chance than a 1580> with the same gpa (to uva)

[rotund rapids]

yea it not enough

u gotta get 1600

to stand a chance these days

shouldn't be a superscore either so they gonna think u mid cuz u needed two trys

2 weeks for 4k in summer (or for 2k a few days before ED is due)

everyone here told me it’s a waste of money

[winged hinge]

dont do it lol

[native hatch]

i would not do that

it is a waste of money indeed

[smoky crater]

are you guys both at columbia

i was actually wondering if you guys are able to commute

i live in manhattan so i’d rather not be forced to live on campus

[tall hare]

help columbia emailed me about missing financial aid documents bc my stupid ass put the wrong columbia on the CSS 💀

fixed tho

[young jay]

i did the same thing 😭😭😭

[winged lion]

wait is it Columbia U

[tall hare]

yea

I was like “im not an egineering major” and i did the school of fucking general studies

KMS

[young jay]

SAME SAME SAME

that was my exact logic

[sonic anchor]

yeah i’d second shp i think

iirc the only girl from my school who got into stanford did it

it doesn’t matter a ton but good for enrichment anyway

[sonic anchor]

i commute but i think there’s a residential requirement and im not technically a student 😭

[smoky crater]

bet already secured letter of rec and gonna do the app soon

[smoky crater]

wym

[sonic anchor]

i take one class

“de”

[smoky crater]

oh the columbia class programs

[sonic anchor]

yeah

[smoky crater]

yeah a bunch of kids at my school do those

might do one next year tbh

[sonic anchor]

huh

kind of first i’ve heard someone say that lmao my school is still the only school where i’ve met people who do it

[smoky crater]

probably in the double digits

[sonic anchor]

most of the public schools in the city are either attached to community colleges for de or have good enough classes into senior year

[smoky crater]

one doesn’t even do the program he just goes cause he knows the prof lol

[sonic anchor]

do you go to cgps or something LMAO

you don’t have to answer that

OH

you know ben?

[smoky crater]

yes

he’s my TA for ap lit

[sonic anchor]

i went to elementary school with him

[smoky crater]

lmaoooo what

so random wtf

[bitter iris]

Love that guy Ben

[sonic anchor]

[sonic anchor]

[smoky crater]

he’s doing like environmental engineering or whatever

at SEAS

[sonic anchor]

YEAH LMAO i heard

[smoky crater]

bro is goated .

[sonic anchor]

his mom was apparently wechat bragging about how he was literally just a good student

and he got into columbia

[smoky crater]

crazy

this is actually crazy we’re casually doxing ben

i don’t even know him like dat 😭😭

[sonic anchor]

nah there are so many bens in nyc bro

[smoky crater]

bruh the ben at hsmse who is going to columbia

you said ben and i immediately knew who you were talking ab

[sonic anchor]

i’d be more worried about columbia’s surveillance next year

[smoky crater]

wym bruh

[sonic anchor]

idek if that’s a joke

[smoky crater]

yeah i didn’t get it lol

[sonic anchor]

columbia is on federal watch

[south hemlock]

Don’t doxx yourselves btw

[smoky crater]

is that a rule

cause idc

pull up

[sonic anchor]

damn

[white hazel]

Wdym surveillance?

[smoky crater]

no one who’s on a discord server for college has the balls to do shit

[sonic anchor]

i feel like i’ve doxxed myself already on this app someone figured out my <500 student school 😭

[smoky crater]

my school is 560 now i think

[white hazel]

Anarchism ‼️

[smoky crater]

bruh

what

[sonic anchor]

nah but it includes undisclosed forms of organizing or activism

[white hazel]

Gonna start a collective on campus

[smoky crater]

what did that even say

[south hemlock]

It’s in the same vein we ask people to not use their actual names

[smoky crater]

it’s my school

[south hemlock]

Vein ? Vain ? Nah it’s vein

Ik

[smoky crater]

can i not say my school?

[bitter iris]

No

[smoky crater]

bruh

[sonic anchor]

i mean

i just said nyc and someone eventually figured mine out anyway lol

luckily i’m p sure they are banned

that’s crazy

NAH HE’S BACK THAT’S CRAZY

[pure sonnet]

nyc schools are packed

[native hatch]

you’re not allowed to live off campus first year

you are as an upperclassman

[native hatch]

not a joke atp

💀 apparently columbia is literally a surveillance state

[sonic anchor]

it was all over instagram

[native hatch]

yes

[sonic anchor]

yeah it’s so fucked up

[hollow garden]

wait whats happening?

[native hatch]

i know people who have been contacted with a long list of rule violations notifying them of being present in a federal investigation

and all they did was like get up and leave at an event

[sonic anchor]

holy

[native hatch]

but they were tracked thru their ID swipes

[sonic anchor]

holy shit

dyk if columbia runs on rfid

[native hatch]

their task force is tasked with “identifying masked protestors” lmao they’re basically promoting doxxing

uhhh

i think it’s rfid

[sonic anchor]

yeah holy shit

[misty bolt]

this my safety on king von

[smoky crater]

do they enforce it?

it’s not like they’ll prevent me from leaving or anything

[smoky crater]

wtf is going on there lol

is it the protests

or riots atp

[devout mirage]

columbia is 1984 rn

[native hatch]

you’re allowed to live off campus but you must pay for and “live in” first year housing

[native hatch]

they’re not riots. the protests are peaceful

it is administration

[smoky crater]

is it expensive bruh

[devout mirage]

the protestors are peaceful*

[native hatch]

yes the protestors are peaceful.

[smoky crater]

there are bad people on both sides

let’s leave it at that

[native hatch]

i cant make comments on that because columbia is 1984ing internet presence

they’re using sidechat posts in the congressional case against them

[smoky crater]

bruh

y’all get monitored???

[devout mirage]

sidechat posts?

[native hatch]

aside from tracking internet history for everything

yes

LOL

[smoky crater]

what is the case regarding

i can’t catch a case bruh i have an internship with the feds

i’m not gonna go to a surveillance school

[native hatch]

a jewish student group is trying to sue the university for antisemitism

[devout mirage]

rn they're tracking down students specifically associated with pro palestinian protests

[smoky crater]

oh

[native hatch]

correction. an israeli supporting student group

i believe it’s students supporting israel (SSI)

they published a 9000 word document and only used the word jewish/jew 12 times

[smoky crater]

is there a distinction

[native hatch]

yes because there’s jvp (jewish voice for peace)

[smoky crater]

does columbia have a fuck ton of clubs and organizations

[native hatch]

yes

[smoky crater]

where can i see all of them

is it a private thing

[native hatch]

the bulletin is our main app/website but i think that’s private let me see if the other site is still up

[smoky crater]

alr

[native hatch]

[devout mirage]

[devout mirage]

[dense grail]

[golden flint]

I don’t know if anyone got that email 😭

And I didn’t know heop was nationwide?

[golden flint]

I thought Columbia encouraged protest

[dense grail]

it is! they extended it to NOP (national opportunity program)

[golden flint]

oh, do you apply?

[dense grail]

no i never did

idek it was a thing

💀

[golden flint]

Dyk who it was for?

just like fgli students?

[dense grail]
