Columbia University (2023-2024)

[young jay]

i had to correct

idk

was it in the likely?

[digital hedge]

No like ya

It was Davis, egfleston, Rabi

[young jay]

well i guess i didn’t get scholar

[digital hedge]

Etc

[digital hedge]

Columbia college?

[young jay]

yep

[digital hedge]

Then prob it’s in the mail

It takes awhile

To ship

Across the US

[young jay]

yeah but i don’t think i got any scholar thing though

[barren adder]

If it mentioned that in your likely letter and didn’t in ours, then we didn’t get scholar

Then maybe only scholars got mail? Idk

[young jay]

possibly

[young jay]

yeah i mean it’s fine i don’t know how much scholar does

the likely letter was definitely enough

for me

[barren adder]

Oh yes I definitely agree with you! I am mostly just curious about if we’ll also get stuff in the mail

[dense fable]

I’m engineering and haven’t got anything in the mail yet

[young jay]

samee

[winged lion]

bruh we better

[summer glade]

i love columbia but i dont think they love me back

[brisk cape]

dw harvard loves u at least

every uni hates me though

[summer glade]

dont say that

theres plenty of fish in the sea

you will find THE one who will use and abuse you for the next 4 years

[brisk cape]

[barren adder]

I love Columbia

[winged lion]

I love the crown logo

[potent meteor]

I LOVE COLUMBIA <3

[weak delta]

Yes

[grand plinth]

No it's the most hated school

[potent meteor]

will i hate it when i go

[native hatch]

it depends

do your research on not only prestige of the school but also the school culture

read student newspaper articles

talk to undergraduates

im a first year i’d be happy to answer any questions about first year life here

[frank olive]

received the same 😦

[queen schooner]

Any folks here w knowledge about Columbia Waitlists

Any realistic chance of getting off one?

what do they look for at WL stage?

[young jay]

are you already planning to get on the waitlist 😭

[native hatch]

idk many people here or necessarily any people here who got off wl

[grand plinth]

Maybe

Maybe not

Research the school

Learn about it beyond its prestige

[queen schooner]

Sad, isnt it?

Really really hoping to get in RD..but who knows..

[young jay]

don’t plan on it

you’re gonna get accepted

[queen schooner]

You are the best!

Tahnks

From you to the ears of the AO gods..

[stone dawn]

why u getting their hopes high

u cant say that to anyone regardless of their app for a school with a 4% acceptance rate

[winged lion]

I think they know that

[young jay]

i mean if they don’t know that i’ don’t make the decisions then idk what to tell them

it’s clear encouragement

i think they can tell i’m not an AO 😂

[smoky crater]

reading this chat full of excelling students makes me feel like i could never get in this john

anyone applying to SHP this year? i got my letter of rec in and wrote a bit for the paragraph

[young jay]

keep pushing, you already seem qualified 🐐🐐

[smoky crater]

[potent meteor]

u got this!

[smoky crater]

❤️

suny morningside heights is columbia right

i figured that out after stalking this channel

[native hatch]

indeed

[undone zinc]

i think it’s a cuny actually!!

[smoky crater]

fr

my highschool is in a cuny 😭😭 i would be so sad if i had to keep coming here for another 4

[undone zinc]

i < 3 when cuny autocorrects to [REDACTED]

[smoky crater]

LOL

[rotund ingot]

cuny 🤔

[drowsy trail]

hsas?

[smoky crater]

hsmse

[drowsy trail]

ohhh

[smoky crater]

beat sty!!!!!

beat hchs!!!!!!!

[drowsy trail]

real

i got rejected by hchs

💀

[smoky crater]

same

fuck that test

[drowsy trail]

still salty over that app fee too

[smoky crater]

FR

[drowsy trail]

did not pay to get rejected smh

[dire olive]

are likely letters a guarenteed acceptance or like a better shot

[spark hatch]

Guaranteed

It’s to make u feel special and pick them

[dire olive]

ok

why do they use the term likely cant they just like say hey ur in

[spark hatch]

No idea

[dire olive]

ok

maybe legal stufff

[dire olive]

i got my stuff 2 days ago

[barren adder]

When they emailed you the likely, did it mention that you were also chosen as a scholar?

[astral vine]

Because there’s an agreement within the Ivy League I think that they can’t actually accept you early or smth idk

[dire olive]

mine said egleston scholar

[dire olive]

ohh

[barren adder]

Through email right? Not the physical mail

[dire olive]

that makes sense

[dire olive]

no i got both

i got a package two days ago

and it had a separate page for it plus this book

[barren adder]

Ohh ok then only scholars get those packages

[bitter iris]

damnn

theres only 15 a year

[dire olive]

how many likelies are sent out tho

they might give like 100 egleston out for like yield

[dire olive]

i thought its more

[barren adder]

I heard 100 were sent for Columbia college and 100 for engineering

[winged lion]

I’ve seen soooo many tho

[barren adder]

Might just seem that way because we’re on a2c

[dire olive]

how many scholar people are there

[dire olive]

nvm ur right its around this

[digital hedge]

[bitter iris]

200

[dire olive]

kk

[grand plinth]

Because if your grades slip or you commit any crimes you're out

They don't want to make you believe you can slack in school now that you're in

[winged lion]

ive seen three Columbia likelies on tiktok 😭

[native hatch]

just a reminder that they’re very uncommon and not getting one doesn’t mean ur out

[dire olive]

ah ok

is one B ok

what defines a grade slip

[grand plinth]

Dramatically failing would be a cause

Not a B

You're fine

[dire olive]

ok calm

wait is it possible that like they call up a counselor to see in progress grades

[south hemlock]

dont worry

they arent doing that much

a B wont kill you

an F might

I mean it makes sense ig

If i got a likely to an ivy id flex it

Lmfao

[winged lion]

sort of but we didn’t see this many Yale likelies

and they give out roughly the same number

[weak delta]

True

Tbh ive seen this trend in the past

Like every video

Has a columbia/cornell likely

I swear

But very few mention yale likely

[winged lion]

holy moly

absolute bloodbath for mit 😭

[weak delta]

Yea fr

[winged lion]

haven’t seen a single acceptance

[weak delta]

Ive seen 5

[tall hare]

yeah in a2c its in the single digits

thats all i got though

[native hatch]

well it’s mit

[digital hedge]

[digital hedge]

CONGRATS

[wicked knoll]

i got a random ass call from new york at 1 pm today and my delusional ass thought it was a columbia AO

i think it was a fake number cause i tried calling back and it said it was an invalid number

[grand plinth]

Reverse number search on google

[bitter iris]

your abt to get harvard too insane

[halcyon flame]

im crying i love this

this is so real

[glossy ledge]

Everyone getting likelies😭

[plucky sandal]

NOT ME 😤 😤 😤

😎

[glossy ledge]

I’m in admissions against the avengers 💀

[wicked knoll]

wtf i just did

and it said manhattan

why columbia want me so bad like just send me a likely already 🙄

[smoky crater]

does EPC tend to not take new yorkers

the website says they prefer rural / underprivillaged students but people say epc boosts ur ED chances by a ton

[bitter iris]

it does

and i think they prefer rural/underpriveleged

cus its kinda like a "flyin"

[smoky crater]

over for me

ill ED anyways

apply to EPC for the waiver i guess

[bitter iris]

try applying tho

[digital hedge]

No EPC is for engineering

Rural is for the stars fly in program

[smoky crater]

maybe its not as emphasized as with stars

regardless of my chances im gonna apply for the waiver

[digital hedge]

I don’t think less exposure to engineering is true

Cuz a lot of people at EPC

[smoky crater]

but getting into EPC would be awesome

[digital hedge]

Had a lot of engineering background

[smoky crater]

u went?

[digital hedge]

yes

[smoky crater]

how was it

[digital hedge]

amazing

[smoky crater]

what did yall do

[digital hedge]

a lot of great people

We visited a lot of unique places like for me

I visited

Columbia’s makerpsace

And startup lab amazing!

[smoky crater]

damn thats great

[digital hedge]

And got to hear from actual Columbia students

[smoky crater]

are u from a rural area or just another city

[digital hedge]

city

[smoky crater]

cool

[digital hedge]

ya

[smoky crater]

yeah i went to columbia campus once during my lunch period at school

[digital hedge]

But most EPC kids

Are cracked

[smoky crater]

my friend and i walked around

[digital hedge]

[smoky crater]

it was hella crowded cause of construction or some shit

[digital hedge]

OOOO

[smoky crater]

it was chill

i saw the alma mater statue

[digital hedge]

YA

amazing

I love Columbia

[smoky crater]

[digital hedge]

[smoky crater]

thats cracked man

SEAS or cc

[digital hedge]

[digital hedge]

It feels unreal

[smoky crater]

[digital hedge]

Nope

DEFFERED

[smoky crater]

ohhhh

that sucks man

[digital hedge]

i think good thing I didn’t Ed

Thoufh

[smoky crater]

how come ?

[digital hedge]

since

I have more opened options

For negiate f financial aud

[smoky crater]

low key

[digital hedge]

Yes

[smoky crater]

unless i get into some crazy ivy

my strat is to ED columbia or go to some random suny and keep applying for transfer to columbia

i live in the city so getting into columbia would be beyond awesome

[digital hedge]

yes

What about nyu?

It’s also in nyc

[smoky crater]

yeah but id still transfer from nyu

to columbia

[digital hedge]

oooooo

[smoky crater]

fr

i need the crown on my degree gang

[smoky crater]

plus nyu is super expensive

[digital hedge]

it is

[smoky crater]

they arent as nice with financial aid

columbia is very generous ive heard

[digital hedge]

Columbia I think would be mostly covered for me 95%

I think

[smoky crater]

thats actually insane

id go into debt for columbia though

like i dont even care lol

fanboy fr

[rose zenith]

wow I didn’t know that likelies are sent in waves

how many waves are there tho

[astral vine]

my guess is just two

one for humanities and one for stem

i'm 100% guessing though

[rose zenith]

ohh makes sense

[keen gull]

this is cool didnt know there were threads

[boreal stream]

welcome hehe

[dense fable]

Nah

Stem and Humanities both came out in waves

Looks like Columbia just had 2 waves

One last Thursday and again this Thursday

[keen gull]

does likely mean ur accepted

[summer glade]

yes

[dense fable]

Yes unless extreme circumstances occur (I.e you fail all your classes or you get arrested)

[summer glade]

it has the same conditions as a regular acceptance

they just want you to commit early

[dense fable]

not entirely

[oblique island]

i doub this

i got humanities last week or so

[dense fable]

I got STEM same day as ^

[oblique island]

yeah its prolly just 2 general waves

[summer glade]

i got CC this week

[oblique island]

idk why tf columbia is sending out like

1000 likelies

like bro what is going on rn

[dense fable]

Twas only 200

[oblique island]

ngl

i tseems a lot higher than 200

[keen gull]

oh ok

[summer glade]

is there an admitted students discord

[oblique island]

like i just know so many people who got one

[keen gull]

wow you all are insane

[oblique island]

but maybe its selection bias

[keen gull]

i think im getting rejected

[oblique island]

but i odnt see any other ivy

w this many likelies

its actually carzy

[dense fable]

It’s purely sample bias

[oblique island]

m

[dense fable]

I mean A2Cers are cracked

[oblique island]

maybe

no but like

i know like

[summer glade]

yale has a lot of likelies as well

[oblique island]

2 a2cers who has a harvard likely or smth

idk

it just seems very excessive for columbia somehow

[summer glade]

maybe columbia admits just have a higher a2c user membership than harvard admits

[dense fable]

^

[oblique island]

mb

[dense fable]

Could be

[oblique island]

idk

[summer glade]

or maybe harvard is mostly recruited athletes and rich legacies who dont use a2c

[oblique island]

no but i really waouldnt be surprised if they sent out more than usual

[keen gull]

yeah i saw a few ppl who got likely on the reddit too

[oblique island]

for columbia

like damn

[keen gull]

how much get likely from columbia

[dense fable]

Ivy League regulations say they can’t admit more than 10% of their class with likely

[oblique island]

oh fr

interesting

[dense fable]

afaik

[oblique island]

wtv bro im depressed afte rmit

[dense fable]

me too lol

[oblique island]

columbia likely lowkey not helping rn

[dense fable]

how

[oblique island]

idk

i mean its like good

[dense fable]

I mean worst case scenario we’re going to an Ivy

[oblique island]

but im just so sad

😭

all my friendsa re going to mit

but wtv

we cant change the decsion

[keen gull]

i got rejected from there today 😦

you have columbia likely

[oblique island]

😦

[dense fable]

Lol MIT was my dream school

[keen gull]

so still ivy league

i applied mit just for fun lmao

[oblique island]

harvard/mit was mine

[boreal stream]

same mahn

[dense fable]

Alas it’s ok

[keen gull]

everyone heres like MIT??

i would go to most of the ivies over MIT

[oblique island]

rly

dang

[boreal stream]

omg you were the guy who was deferred yeah?

[oblique island]

id choose mit over every ivy except harvard

prolly

but also i have a lot of friends there and stuff

so its also because of the cultture not really the school at all

[dense fable]

Yep

[summer glade]

whats the culture of mit

[boreal stream]

🫂

[oblique island]

weird

jk

[summer glade]

i didnt apply because i didnt like the vibes

[oblique island]

idk

its definitely not that great

[dense fable]

120 of us got rejected including most if not all of the deferred applicants

[keen gull]

i would do mit over cornell dartmouth upenn

[oblique island]

😔

my 2 deferred friends got in

[boreal stream]

ik a deferred guy who got in

[oblique island]

sigh

[dense fable]

From a2c?

[keen gull]

is mit defer good?

[boreal stream]

nah nah

[dense fable]

Oh lol

I was talking purely A2C

[summer glade]

well thats pretty obvious

[boreal stream]

its 50-50 still

[boreal stream]

ooh lmao

[keen gull]

oh wow i see

[keen gull]

oh i see

imo upenn is close

[dense fable]

MIT defers a majority of their applicants. They accepted 660 some EA, deferred 8.5k of us, and only rejected 2k

[keen gull]

but mit is a bit better

[keen gull]

so is mit defer a rejection?

since they defer a lot

[summer glade]

what are some reasons that people like princeton

[dense fable]

No

[boreal stream]

yale this year decided to reject way more

[dense fable]

MIT defer -> admit rate is 1.8% but that’s just bc there’s so many of them

[keen gull]

harvard deferred a lot this year

oh ok i see

[keen gull]

did you apply mit?

[dense fable]

Yes I EAed lol

Deferred -> Rejected

[keen gull]

oh nice

damn

yeah mit is really hard

[winged lion]

same this is my theory

[digital hedge]

If it’s more then 200 it means they accept less I think for rd to keep up with there current acceptance rate

[zinc tinsel]

!ivyday

ghosted😔

[visual orbit]

how many ppl have gotten a likely atp

almost makes me feel like it's a mistake

[dense fable]

There’s only max 10 of us in this discord lol

It’s just seems like a lot comparatively

[visual orbit]

what would be your guess of the total amount

[dense fable]

In this discord?

They only send out 200 it’s the top 10% of their class

Definitely not a mistake lol your portal should even say you’re a likely candidate

[visual orbit]

yeah it does i guess i'm just paranoid lmao

bc i've seen so many here and other places

[barren adder]

Also keep in mind that some people here might have posted on other platforms too

[dense fable]

^

More importantly don’t downplay your accomplishments! You worked hard to get here and you deserve it.

[winged lion]

yeah dw I thought the same thing bc it seemed like sm people got it and it made it feel like it wasn’t that special

but it really doesn’t matter 🙏

[dense fable]

It really is just sampling bias some of the most cracked people on A2C didnt get one who applied

If you do research you can see the competitiveness surrounding Columbia likelies

I highly doubt they’d send out more than ~200

[winged lion]

yeah this server is wild

it has definitely helped a lot but also has distorted my perception of everything

[dense fable]

Distorted?

[winged lion]

yes just bc i forget that A2C has a ton of competitive applicants

[dense fable]

Oh yeah lol

Nah you’re definitely a very competitive applicant if you’ve got a likely from any of the ivies

[hybrid bay]

Rip

[dense fable]

When overlap between likelies occur it kinda proves the point

[winged lion]

that’s why I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Cornell LOL

[dense fable]

don’t worry Kirk you’re gonna get accepted into every Ivy

[dense fable]

Lol I don’t think I’d go to Cornell over Columbia

[winged lion]

oh me neither

[hybrid bay]

Same

[south hemlock]

It can suck but remember there won’t be a major difference between likely kids and kids who get in on March 28th

[dense fable]

Can you get a likely with outstanding finaid documents?

[south hemlock]

Finaid and admissions r separate

[winged lion]

yeah fs, atp the difference is negligible

[south hemlock]

Mmm

[dense fable]

lol

[hybrid bay]

LOL

[dense fable]

?

[south hemlock]

[dense fable]

Why you delete

It’s not astrology

[winged lion]

I looked away for ONE second

[dense fable]

Oh well I just wanna know why my documents aren’t being accepted lmao

[south hemlock]

It makes me Trigger happy

[dense fable]

I submitted my non custodial W-2

and now they’re saying big no

[south hemlock]

Ok it’s different

Yikes

[south hemlock]

Remember sm more people didn’t get it 😂

Ie you’re talking to one of them

Don’t let a2c fool you into thinking it’s not hard

[hybrid bay]

Does it rlly matter. U got into an ivy

[south hemlock]

There's one for prospective students and one for accepted students

You need your Columbia email to join the admitted students server

[sweet sedge]

can i get a columbia email before committing?

[grand plinth]

I don't think so

[barren adder]

You can join the server but you have to get verified in order to access all the channels and stuff

[sweet sedge]

can likelys even commit yet, considering we aren’t technically admitted yet ?

[grand plinth]

No

[winged lion]

idts

[sweet sedge]

do you mind sending me links ?

[civic canyon]

They didn’t give a email tho?

[grand plinth]

You don't get an email until later on

[civic canyon]

Ah so gotta wait to join the server

[grand plinth]

Yup

You're not missing much lmao dw

Its discord

[civic canyon]

True but still

Haven’t talked to that many 2028s

[grand plinth]

Seems like there's a bunch here

[sweet sedge]

are most ppl in this channel ED ppl or likely letter ppl

[grand plinth]

Only difference is you take their word here

[potent meteor]

i can send the link to whoever wants it

[grand plinth]

Both

Everything

[hybrid bay]

the ed ppl have disappeared

[grand plinth]

Genuinely considering tOSU over Columbia ngl

Feel crazy for this

[pure sonnet]

reasons?

[grand plinth]

It's has a superior NROTC unit, dorms are much larger and comfortable imo, the overall atmosphere is open and fun and I kind of want an experience like that

Columbia is amazing but I feel I'd be too engrossed in my work at such a rigorous school

And I'm already burnt from high school

Still deciding, but tOSU has a huge pokemon club so

[hybrid bay]

Ohio state is grea

One of my best friends is going there

[grand plinth]

It is an amazing uni

Plus one a top Biomed engineering school so yeah

[tribal canyon]

guys

should i email admisions for an update?

a word document basically with some updates and one major one

will it hurt me or its neutral?

[sweet sedge]

if you genuinely think it might sway their decision maybe

but its also kinda late in the process so idk

[tribal canyon]

i just dont want it to hurt me

i dont care if nothing changes

this is the email right? [email protected]

[digital hedge]

Just use the portal

[winged lion]

i desperately asked them to change my essays and i sent them two unnecessary updates—it ended up not mattering at all

ur fine

[digital hedge]

Same, I switched 2 of the Supplementals and my rec letter for one of them was submitted 2/5

[winged lion]

LMAOO

I’m glad i wasn’t the only one

btw did they respond to u? they never did to me

[tribal canyon]

There is nothing there

[digital hedge]

Nope

I just updated through my portal

And then

Emailed my regional AO

[grand plinth]

As long as it's a list and follows the guidelines it wouldn't hurt you. Though it is pretty late to do so as decisions release in 13 days and they've looked at close to all applications by now (I'd assume)

Also yes use the portal, do not email them

[hollow garden]

wait huh are locis supposed to be list

bro i cooked up a 5 paragraph essay

[digital hedge]

Any format works

some list

[dense fable]

what

[smoky crater]

columbia should start giving locals a boost

new yorkers deserve columbian education too…..

[hollow garden]

so...

...it should become a state school is what you're saying?

[digital hedge]

What

[dense grail]

??

i didn’t get a likely but a columbia ao called my counselor today to ask ab my second semester so far

[digital hedge]

Did ur counselor submit it

[dense grail]

no not mid year report. the ao called asking how my 2nd semester is doing and asked to know a few more things ab me

alr submitted the mid year feb smth

[devout mirage]

wait? they call to ask about second semester???

FUCK 😭

i have a terrible grade in one of my classes

[dense grail]

yea i don’t know why they would do that but i hope it isn’t for a bad reason

[dense grail]

damn 😭

feb 4th

i think

lemme check again

[devout mirage]

damn id assume im hella borderline then 😭

if they're asking that its over

ill ask my counselor if he received any phone calls

[dense grail]

feb 7th mb

[dense grail]

yea and ig make sure to have a good reason so ur counselor will have smth to say 😭

i mean for me my counselor said they asked to see how i’m doing in 2nd semester then to ig verify my upward trend. I didn’t have a strong freshmen year

[devout mirage]

yeah i didnt either

[dense grail]

solid

[devout mirage]

was junior year all As for you?

[dense grail]

yea

[devout mirage]

fuck

they will definitely be calling if i have a remote chance of getting in there's no way

[dense fable]

No

They just mean aslong as nothing wild happens (we fail all of our classes or go to jail) we’re in

no lol

[dense grail]

freshmen year it was bad mainly cuz we got relocated from a house fire + being poor asf and couldn’t afford stable wifi for zoom

[dense fable]

Yuh but he didn’t get a likely

[dense grail]

yea but then everything else was a’s

[devout mirage]

kinda similar circumstance

[dense fable]

No they didn’t smh

[devout mirage]

hes prolly borderline

[dense fable]

Lemme pull mine up

[dense grail]

freshmen bad - everything else good

[dense fable]

It doesn’t say provided our upcoming review

Idk what you saw

[devout mirage]

its just kirasus counselor getting asked

[dense fable]

yuh figured he is probs a on the fence candidate

praying for good outcome homie

[dense grail]

preciate it 🙏

[dense fable]

Did you get a likely? They are all the same letters lol…

[devout mirage]

id assume maybe my counselor got a similar call

[dense fable]

Send the screenie

[dense grail]

if they did js make sure u talk w ur counselor

so they know what to say

[devout mirage]

yeah i will

[dense fable]

Uhhh

[devout mirage]

were you a scholar?

that's why

[dense fable]

Like in a separate email?

Just crop ur name out

They’re all worded the same

[devout mirage]

whats your gpa

[dense fable]

Id check your portal and make sure it says likely candidate @worn solstice tho idk why or how you’d get a fake one

[devout mirage]

did you submit your midterm grades?

can you send the full thing without the top

does it have personal info in it?

[dense fable]

Oh ok you probs right

Scholars probs go through a different review

Bc Columbia picks scholars from their entire pool I think

[devout mirage]

it's real @dense fable

this was my friend's

[dense fable]

Dope

Idk why it’s different

[devout mirage]

cuz they're a scholar

[dense fable]

Ig idk what the upcoming review means

[devout mirage]

yeah idk what it means either

[dense fable]

Maybe just a review for scholars

[sweet storm]

Intls dont get likely tho right?

[grand plinth]

Lost it like you did in your EC section in common app

You're fine if you wrote a little more, it shouldn't hurt you

[digital hedge]

OH SHOOT

MINES SAYS THAT TOO

[digital hedge]

I think they call your counselor

[native hatch]

there is effectively a local boost lol

like half the people here are from NY feeders

[native hatch]

they won’t

they don’t typically call ever

he got into HEOP or ASP it’s basically a likely

could be borderline though basically HEOP/ASP is for people columbia thinks can succeed at columbia with extra preparation

[native hatch]

no

upcoming review is prob final report lmao

you have to submit your final transcript to show u graduated

[devout mirage]

isnt epc the same essentially

[native hatch]

maybe

well i

no

epc is another type of program; it shows u how the engineering stuff at columbia is like, HEOP/ASP is 2 weeks of extra classes before school startd

in math/chem/physics/etc. to prepare you for core

[dense fable]

Aren’t u Columbia ‘27

[dense grail]

yea i did get the heop email back in feb, but it isn’t a likely

[native hatch]

… yes

[summer glade]

how come columbia doesn’t have an admitted students day like bull dogs day

i feel like it would be so fun

being in ny and all

[winged lion]

they do

4/14 and 4/21

should be on ur portal

[native hatch]

“lion den days”

they’re in april

[smoky crater]

bet

[subtle crane]

!ivy

!ivyday

[young jay]

i’m lowkey trying to find more ways to connect to students

@native hatch do you think i can join accepted student stuff as a likely recipient?

[native hatch]

uhh like what

just wait a few weeks

[young jay]

the discord, gcs idk

[native hatch]

there isn’t a 2028 discord unless yall make one

you can’t join the main server until you get an email

which comes in july

you can find gcs to join

or make your own gcs

[keen elbow]

What percent of admitted students get likelies lol

[pure sonnet]

supposedely low but idk anymore

my hopes are not hoping

[keen elbow]

Cause I know there is nothing in my application that would warrant a likely but I need to cope somehow

[zinc tinsel]

!ivyday

[keen elbow]

!ivy

Damn

#🤖-bot-commands it is ig

[grand plinth]

!ivyday

[dire olive]

nah 2 ppl at my school got likelies from columbia last year and my counselor said that he never got contacted it prolly jus gon be final transcript

well ig it might depend

[dire olive]

whats the difference between davis scholar and egleston scholar

[devout mirage]

https://www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/scholars/named

thats the most i can find

[dire olive]

one was ye

[dire olive]

ty

[summer glade]

are there any current columbia students

that know if columbia flies students in to admitted students day?

[winged lion]

they don’t

[summer glade]

okay okay

[native hatch]

you can get money for travel

like if you need to they will reimburse u

[summer glade]

i see, thanks !

[split furnace]

they should ban all non new yorkers from going to columbia every other year

[young jay]

ok bc i need it!!

[native hatch]

wtf 😾

[split furnace]

A hypotethical that is to show the aburdity of the previous request

[sonic anchor]

[smoky crater]

i would not lose any sleep if columbia decided to institute a quota on non-new yorkers....

[sonic anchor]

no but i have fun showing people around nyc

[split furnace]

but they wont

[sonic anchor]

i like fucking around in the subway with people who have never been on it

[sonic anchor]

but honestly come march 28th imma be agreeing with you

[smoky crater]

they should

everyone wanna be in this city

[sonic anchor]

columbia’s so nice in the summer

[split furnace]

78k people left nyc in 2023

[smoky crater]

y r u getting pressed bruh

just say u wanna come to ny

[sonic anchor]

when no one’s there

[split furnace]

nyc would be better without the people

it would be a great location to explore

[native hatch]

as mayor adams said

there are 2 people in this world

the people who live in nyc and the people who want to live in nyc

[devout mirage]

no nyc is dirty 💩

[zinc tinsel]

the rats don’t run the city, we do🥸👆

[grand plinth]

Yall are the rats

[west gazelle]

💀

[potent meteor]

is it worth it to fly in/ go to admitted students day if ur from the west coast?

[native hatch]

yes assuming west coast is different than east coast

in terms of architecture/weather/culture/etc

[rich rose]

Did they send scholarship info in the likely letter?

[rich rose]

I saw 0.33% somewhere

And probably half ish of those are recruited athletes

[young jay]

i think .33% of applicant poll more like 10% of accepted students

[rich rose]

Yes

[young jay]

no 😞😞

[rich rose]

Rip my debt bro

I dont think im gonna get much financial aid if I didn't get any scholarships

[devout mirage]

everyone here got a columbia likely 💀

[rich rose]

I heard there were like 12

[devout mirage]

zamn

[rich rose]

Which is a lot yeah

[devout mirage]

ya i got one too 2nd wave

wildin

[rich rose]

W

[keen gull]

how much columbia likely are given out?

[rich rose]

Did you get any scholarships in the email?

[devout mirage]

nope

[rich rose]

~200

[keen gull]

damn

[devout mirage]

lemme check again but i doubt i qualify for anything

[keen gull]

i feel like so much people got it

[rich rose]

Rip

[rich rose]

Probably because everyone posts about it lol

It's exciting

[keen gull]

oh damn you got it too

congrats

[rich rose]

Thank

[keen gull]

yeah definitely

[devout mirage]

yep nothin

[rich rose]

Damn

I h3ard it was all need-based

[devout mirage]

ya so that's not happening w/ me

[rich rose]

So im not very hopeful about financial aid later on

Maybe the likely letter will help bargain for better financial aid

Idk

That's the only way I'm gonna afford it lol

[devout mirage]

ya we'll see

[dense fable]

No Ivy League gives out scholarships

It's just need-based aid

If your family makes <100k you can pretty much get almost afull ride

[young jay]

oh i thought they were talking about financial aid

[native hatch]

yup

“scholar status” doesn’t do anything for you here. you might get slightly more money if you ask for it over the summer but that’s about it

other than science research fellows which get a summer stipend

[rich rose]

Right. They do have need-based scholarships though

That's what I was talking about

They're different from general financial aid

[dense fable]

No only aid haha

[rich rose]

I thought some people received scholarships in their letters?

[dense fable]

No; they received SCHOLARs

Egleston Scholars, Davis Scholars, etc.

[dense fable]

No money involved and this is what caly is talking about here ^

[rich rose]

OH

Ok damn

Thanks for informing me

[dense fable]

No Ivy does any scholarships. Only aid, but every single ivy is 100% committed to meeting 100% of demonstrated financial need

[rich rose]

Yeah I've heard that. I read somewhere that Egleston etc had money involved but that makes more sense

Thanks

[dense fable]

Sort of do, but not in the traditional sense

A $10,000 Stipend
Scholars each have access to a stipend which can be used to attend professional conferences, purchase research materials and fund room and board when conducting research over the summer.

But that only applies to, obviously, what is listed above. Not tuitiotn

[rich rose]

I see. That makes a lot more sense

Thank you

[zinc tinsel]

anyone else apply as a sustainable development major👀

[dusty girder]

ayyyy me too!

has anyone created any like, group chats or smth for likely students? I feel like there’s group chats for everything college related lol

[winged lion]

not to my knowledge

we aren’t allowed to join the admitted students disc either

[misty bolt]

[granite jewel]

What stats do u have to hold to even recieve a likely letter

I saw someone got one from Yale and another ivy

like do they win a nobel prize or sum as a highschooler

[spark hatch]

Not necessarily

[young jay]

i’m not one

my stats actually aren’t too crazy

[granite jewel]

mind sharing? I'm going crazy rn for not trying harder in the past years

[young jay]

well it’s good for my context but i only have a 30 act (my area average is 17-19) and i took 11/13 aps offered here, 4.0UW/4.32W, 1/239

[mental garnet]

reminder that very few people get likely letters and so many more get into ivy leagues without them!

[barren adder]

I had a 32 composite & 35 superscore (Columbia superscores). My school average was a 21. 4.0 UW/school doesn’t do weighted nor offer any APs so I’ve done 0 APS. I’m from a rural area so Columbia took what I did into context

[mental garnet]

i dont think stats matter for likelies

because i had a 35 act and a 4.0 gpa and didnt get one

[stuck badger]

i mean they do but they dont

[mental garnet]

mm yeah i mean good stats isnt going to get you a likely, and bad stats doesn't mean you fs won't get one

[tall hare]

Stats only matter so much for ivies anyway

If most applicants have a good-enough gpa and good enough scores anyway itll be the stories that separate them anyway

[willow sun]

oh how do u check ur school areas average scores?

[digital hedge]

I had a 1500 sat and 4.66/4 gpa 1/350 ish

[young jay]

my counselors could see

[rich rose]

Pretty much same except for ranking

I think essays and ECs matter the most

And rec letters of course

[dusty girder]

wait please tell me they don’t 😭 I missed so many tests that I still need to make up

[hollow roost]

i dont think so

i feel like that would be excessive

but idk

💀

[dense fable]

I’m fairly certain the upcoming review is just for the scholars program.

Regardless dw abt it

[digital hedge]

Ya but what does that mean

What

Show me JN DM’s

PLZ

[dense fable]

Not sure but

You’ll still be admitted so

[ruby parcel]

has anyone

ever heard of columbai clutcing up for 3.89 gpas

[weak delta]

[grand plinth]

Was your question serious?

[devout mirage]

[grand plinth]

3.89 unweighted? You're good. weighted? Not likely

[devout mirage]

3.89 is not a bad gpa 💀

what are all u on

[ruby parcel]

yeah

[grand plinth]

Fr

[ruby parcel]

uw

with exentuating cirumstances

[devout mirage]

at that point

[ruby parcel]

what major u applied as doesnt matter right

[devout mirage]

ur gpa is not gonna be what gets u in or out

[ruby parcel]

i fucked up and put jewish studies instead of middle eastern studies and i just found out

[devout mirage]

somewhat but not offically

[ruby parcel]

im so scared

[devout mirage]

schools still have instituitonal priorities at the end of the day

[ruby parcel]

i hoping being a religious studies major

[devout mirage]

you might've been able to make an application update?

[ruby parcel]

will help me
