[barren adder]

Same but it only takes one right? 😁

[rich rose]

Yup! Columbia was my top ivy anyways

[barren adder]

The only school I’d have considered over Columbia is Harvard (because of prestige 💀) but if I were truly choosing the perfect Ivy for me — it would’ve been Columbia 100%.

Are you going to any of the admitted student days?

[rich rose]

That's fair lmao

[rich rose]

Yeah I'm going to the engineering day

On the 13th

You?

[sweet sedge]

[visual orbit]

Did other likely letter ppl get Columbia undergraduate scholars?

[barren adder]

Yeah I got likely + John Jay scholar

It didn’t say I had scholar in my likely letter but I still got it yesterday

[visual orbit]

Wait how do you find out which type of scholar you are lol

Same

[barren adder]

Go to your financial aid portal and i saw “John Jay grant”

[visual orbit]

Are you committed to Columbia or just heavily leaning?

[exotic mortar]

all of us are probably leaning ngl

[versed falcon]

does anyone know how to submit the income and expense worksheet to columbia?? i dont think i got a package bc of that 😭

[exotic mortar]

columbia acceptances are so quirky

im glad they clutched up

[exotic mortar]

maybe email them n ask

[versed falcon]

did u guys have to submit that?

[barren adder]

Will be committing for sure! Just not yet so I can ask them for some more $ haha

[barren adder]

Fr and I thought Dartmouth was the quirky one 😭

[dire olive]

Does Columbia negotiate aid pretty well?

[barren adder]

As long as your reason is good, I’d think yes

[dire olive]

If I get need based aid at another college

Do u think they might match it

[fierce igloo]

Yhh

They do

Just send them the official package from other school

[barren adder]

Ofc! I remember reading about that on their website yesterday

Just make sure it’s all need based

[devout mirage]

yes even if i get into stanford i might still pu

[runic tartan]

WHY DID WEATERS EXPOSE ME LIKE THAT

JKABGJBEJAGJAE

[winged hinge]

ok trust

[sweet sedge]

columbia wants $16k more than northwestern and duke 😵‍💫

[dire olive]

Oh shi

Wow

Yes all need based

[dire olive]

damn

Wair so

Is there a list colleges they’d take

Or is it like

Any colleges need based

[fierce igloo]

im not sure about that

just email em

see what happens

[dire olive]

Ok

Its GT and they do financial aid a lil differently

Ig I’ll ask whenever I get the final numbers

[fierce igloo]

ur instate GT?

[dire olive]

Out of state

I think with fafsa I can get 20-30 from GT

If Columbia matches I’d defo consider Columbia

Why Columbia so expensive smh

[fierce igloo]

pretty sure

GT dont give aid oos

wait georgia tech or georgetown

[dire olive]

Tech

[fierce igloo]

[dusty girder]

hey guys! did anyone else get offered the columbia scholars thing? I’m trying to figure out how big of a deal it is and whether it’s worth turning down yale for it

[winged hinge]

(it’s not)

[exotic mortar]

HI OLIVIA

[dusty girder]

ok sick, so it’s not something that should really affect my decision? because it really made me rethink yale and freak out lol

[dusty girder]

OMG HI

[exotic mortar]

Or columbia

[winged hinge]

[exotic mortar]

What is this tomfoolery

[barren adder]

I’ve heard people say usually well known schools but just give it a shot with GT

[barren adder]

Yes, but you need to wait until you commit and receive your Columbia email to access all the channels

You can still join tho

I’ll dm u the link

[fierce igloo]

GT is one of the best for tech tho lol

So obv well known

[barren adder]

Oh I meant to say specifically peer schools like the other ivies or ivy+ schools like MIT, Stanford, Duke, etc

[fierce igloo]

fairs

[barren adder]

But GT is def good

[fierce igloo]

oooooo

a free t shirt

[native hatch]

mhm

[quasi kayak]

the romantic tension btwn me and a plane ticket rn.

[native hatch]

u get 2

[dense grail]

the flag is so niceee

[native hatch]

one on first day

[barren adder]

2 shirts?

[native hatch]

and one over the summer

[digital hedge]

OH

[barren adder]

What does the second one look like

[native hatch]

it’s light blue

[barren adder]

I know the first one has ROAR on it

[native hatch]

that says columbia college/engineering

[barren adder]

Ohh

[native hatch]

i don’t have it with me it’s at school rn

but yeah

[barren adder]

That’s really nice of them to give 2

[native hatch]

u get more free stuff as the year goes on

[barren adder]

Really?? What kind of stuff?

I know there’s water bottles at orientation but that’s it

[dense grail]

ooo

[native hatch]

no… there’s no free water bottles

that’s a myth

columbia college gets a free book, pin, ruler, and a few smaller things

[versed falcon]

Wait did anyone else have to fill out a income and expense worksheet? Apparently I need to send it to them to get my aid package but it’s a pretty big hassle bc I have to enter every expense and income our family had

[dusty girder]

super late, but I’m stuck between a pre-law track (poli sci major likely) and economics

[dusty girder]

john jay scholars!

[exotic mortar]

oh lowkey you're fine with either columbia or yale im ngl

both are super good for that kind of shit

yale is probably marginally more prestigious

i feel like in columbia it'd be easier to work for some firm though

[dusty girder]

that’s what I’m thinking too, it’ll probably just come down to how much I like the communities/locations

[exotic mortar]

there's just so many of them

[dusty girder]

yeah, location is definitely better at columbia

[rich rose]

Was the travel comp email aid based? I didn't get one 😕

[quasi kayak]

from my anecdotes it’s more accomplishment based

but it might be a mix of both.

wait @winged hinge there’s diff kinds of scholars? how do i know which one i am

[rich rose]

Why they give me a likely then 💀

Led me on

[quasi kayak]

z

[winged hinge]

like a lot

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

[quasi kayak]

i was not picked as one of these ijbol

[winged hinge]

babe what r u

[quasi kayak]

just says columbia college scholar

[winged hinge]

what

[quasi kayak]

what.

[barren adder]

Mine was like that too

Just said scholar

[quasi kayak]

see i’m not going crazy

[barren adder]

But in my financial aid portal there was a “John Jay grant”

That’s how I know it’s John Jay

[quasi kayak]

oh inchresting

REMINDS ME

I GOT LOCKED OUT OF MY FIN AID ACXOUNT

HOLD ON ILL BRB

[barren adder]

[quasi kayak]

[barren adder]

Oop

[wise finch]

Did you not receive an email this morning?

Detailing fin aid

It's there as well

[quasi kayak]

i was ED

mine just says columbia grant

I HAVE TO GIGGLE

[wise finch]

oh

nvm then

[quasi kayak]

i assume i'm just john jay

bc that's the CC kids

[versed falcon]

wait why did i get an email from columbia on giving me travel assistance when i live in ny LOL

[dense grail]

i think so

[steel zinc]

time to take a flight from JFK to switzerland a week prior and back to laguardia or something

[quasi kayak]

“what’s that? why does my flight from JFK to LGA have a layover in kyoto? that’s strange. where’s my $2k?”

[versed falcon]

Lmaooo

[quasi kayak]

okay lowkey why is wikicu dead it should be fire

[tame cargo]

They said take a world tour 😭😭

[lean mauve]

anyone have any idea how much columbia takes off the wl

[barren adder]

Nope

They don’t release that info

[lean mauve]

unfortunate

[exotic mortar]

does anyone know if its common to transfer from seas to college

[dense fable]

why would you want to do that

[exotic mortar]

because i want to do cs, math, and physics

ive realized applied is kinda cringe im ngl

maybe im tripping

💀

[dense fable]

uhhhhhh

Idk dude I'd stay in SEAS

You're going to have to take the full core in hte college

and you're going to have to progbably take more requirements/electives

[exotic mortar]

actually you're right idk

[winged hinge]

:(

[exotic mortar]

idk

im really conflicted

what are you studying

are you seas or college

[winged hinge]

seas

[exotic mortar]

ive just realized that i dont want to go into civil engineering bro

idk

i was working on this one project

[winged hinge]

oh LOL

[exotic mortar]

and ive realized

[winged hinge]

i thought u wanted quant

[exotic mortar]

engineering is way too fucking bureaucratic

[exotic mortar]

oh i want money yea

i also like civil engineering as a field

its just

in impelementation

way too fucking soulless

actually what if i delay everything and think about pursuing a phd

[potent meteor]

good evening columbia chat 🫂

[barren adder]

Good evening

[tame cargo]

Good evening

The megathreads are so calm now that decisions are over 😞

I miss the chaos lowkey

[stable vale]

it is chill

[civic canyon]

and just like that, class of 2024 decisions come to an end

pretty crazy

@exotic mortar i remember u talking in this server back in like august or july of 2023 and i was grinding out essays lol

[exotic mortar]

What’s up dude!

Crazy we’re going to school together now

[civic canyon]

fr

seas

[exotic mortar]

Are you going to the thing on the 13th?

You wanna meet up?

[civic canyon]

yep

im down altho i don't rlly know u

i signed up for both sessions

and idk how it's supposed to work since the times overlap

[potent meteor]

a2c columbia meet up 🫂

[civic canyon]

A2c admitted day meet up!!

[barren adder]

See y’all there!

[slender monolith]

Okie

[potent meteor]

u r not going to clumbia

[slender monolith]

Only 1 hr train ride away

[potent meteor]

r u going to cas concert

[slender monolith]

Should I?

I was gonna but

I don’t wanna go by myself

[dense fable]

The urge to go back to Columbia to be at the same school as @exotic mortar is real

[potent meteor]

i think we have to kick all harvard students out of this megathread

[winged lion]

not students yet 🤓

[dense fable]

You never know

Didn’t weaters get a likely lol?

[digital hedge]

OH I DIDN’t know that oops

[devout mirage]

guys how much does a high school transcript matter for Columbia transfer

-someone who regrets not applying here

[devout mirage]

someone lmk

[dense fable]

Not sure a whole lot of us have insight for transfer

But I would think not VERY much

They are probably more heavily looking at your college transcript

[devout mirage]

Reassuring

Where can I find sources for transfer insight?

[dense fable]

https://undergrad.admissions.columbia.edu/apply/transfer

[devout mirage]

Okay yeah a transfer seems kinda difficult

they seem to place emphasis on a high school transcript

oh well I rly liked New York

[thorny dagger]

How unrealistic is a columbia WL

[devout mirage]

getting in as a wl?

[thorny dagger]

As in i got waitlisted how unrealistic are the chances of getting off the wl

Congrats on upenn!

[devout mirage]

ty

choosing between here and penn

[mental garnet]

choose columbia ez

new york>>>>>>

do you really wanna go to penn state

[thorny dagger]

Ooh I thought u were committing to penn judging by ur name

[devout mirage]

well its like 60% sure penn

admitted days may change my mind

[mental garnet]

why /gen

[devout mirage]

7 bil endowment diff

better start up culture

[mental garnet]

ahhhh

[devout mirage]

more undergrad focus

but shit i love columbias community

and i love nyc so

its super hard

[mental garnet]

valid

[devout mirage]

would u pick columbia?

[mental garnet]

over penn?

yeah

but thats majorly because of my major

columbia has the best graduate journalism program in the world and nyc is a great place to be a journalist

[devout mirage]

oh journalism right

yeah that makes sense

penn is the best school i got into for my major

[mental garnet]

im in a similar choice though

[devout mirage]

and if i dont like it my backup is finance which i could place really well in economics

[mental garnet]

berkeley has better academics but ucla has better communtiy

[devout mirage]

yeah that makes sense

[mental garnet]

im leaning toward academic preference currently but we'll see

[devout mirage]

cant believe i might be joining dg and emre ngl

i never would've expected that

[mental garnet]

lol

you deserve it

all the stanford defers got somewhere great right

[devout mirage]

i think you'll like both

[mental garnet]

you got penn billert got columbia caishenn got mit

[devout mirage]

fuck stanford

[mental garnet]

real

[devout mirage]

i like columbia a lot too though

so fuck its just hard

[mental garnet]

admitted students day will prob help

gl for deciding but there's really no wrong choices

[devout mirage]

yep def ill lyk

cant wait to get into vv

[mental garnet]

FR

OMG

I WAS 🤏 CLOSE TO COMMITTING JUST FOR VV

[devout mirage]

me when i have to wait 2 weeks

[mental garnet]

fr😭

[native hatch]

endowment do not matter

also consider this

columbia’s # of grad students allows you to get better research and more support in undergrad

at least that’s the experience i’ve had

[exotic mortar]

yo caly

can i do research in like

physics even if im not a physics major

😭

i lowkey dont know what i wanna do

im trying to figure shit out

[exotic mortar]

caishenn actually swept

she's fucking built different

mit stanford harvard

[mental garnet]

WAIT FR

INSANE

[oblique island]

what does this mean do they pay??

omg wiat they pay LMAO? let me check my portal

[devout mirage]

stop making my decision harder 😡😡

[native hatch]

yes

[native hatch]

come to columbia

[exotic mortar]

do you really want penn

[native hatch]

be fr wtf does penn even have that columbia doesn’t do better

[exotic mortar]

why penn over columbia

do they have a bme program or something

[devout mirage]

yes

[exotic mortar]

probably like wharton i think? but wharton is kinda cringe

[native hatch]

columbia is literally med focused

columbia has the oldest med school in the country

and you can do research there

[exotic mortar]

brandon doesn't want to do med

[native hatch]

he’s bme bro

[exotic mortar]

he wants to do bme i think?

[devout mirage]

yes

[native hatch]

we have bme research at the oldest med school in the country

and one of the best

[devout mirage]

fuck

idk

this is too hard

why couldnt i just get into stanford

[dire olive]

What does Columbia offer for undergrad entrepreneurship

[native hatch]

columbia eng is better than penns

[native hatch]

we have accelerator/startup programs

and tons of career fairs

[devout mirage]

true but penn's bme department is overall better

[native hatch]

it’s pretty easy to get vc funding

[dire olive]

Do u have some links to some of the programs I haven’t been finding much when I google

[dire olive]

Ah cool

[devout mirage]

but fuck

columbia

[native hatch]

my friend chose columbia bme over berkeley eng

[devout mirage]

the overall engineering is better

so like if bme is not the move

then i have backups

and orfe

and like the community is great

man i dont know

[dire olive]

How long does the core take to complete in seas

[devout mirage]

prolly in a year or two and a lot is just stuff you would take anyways ngl

engineering has different core

[dire olive]

Ok cool

[native hatch]

plus @devout mirage we feed nyc firms harder than penn does

[mental garnet]

REAL

[devout mirage]

good point

plus ur right there

[native hatch]

and also if you have any inclination to be in phl you can just take the train lmao

we are a central hub

and have a better transportation system

and better architecture

and a more medically inclined focus

and more support from grad students

and mainly singles. but if you want to be in doubles the doubles here are larger too

AND we have better food.

and food competitions/events (battle of the dining halls, surf & turf, friendsgiving, halloween/easter/black history month/valentines)

[white hazel]

@devout mirage Philly or nyc

[devout mirage]

IDK

i am so torn

[native hatch]

i would not be torn unless u were in wharton

columbia solos

[white hazel]

The Knicks are a successful basketball team while the 76ers are dying without embiid

Simple choice

[smoky crater]

new yorker here

if u care abt safety

[devout mirage]

i lowkey still might be swept away by northwestern

[smoky crater]

then philly wins

but everything else nyc>>

[devout mirage]

idc about safety

[smoky crater]

hey man u do u

[dire olive]

Can undergrad students get paid for research

[native hatch]

yes

that’s gonna be me this summer

[devout mirage]

ok caly

how about this

[white hazel]

I have a friend going to northwestern for bme

[devout mirage]

i go to the admit days

[native hatch]

i said i wouldn’t be in nyc but unfortunately i prob will be 💀

since they’re offering $21/h

[devout mirage]

whichever one i like the best ill go

fair game

[native hatch]

good deal

[devout mirage]

1/3 chance i go to columbia

[native hatch]

actually wait that’s not fair

you’ve already been here

[devout mirage]

yeah im coming again tho

[native hatch]

mf you owe me dining hall money

[devout mirage]

i love nyc

[native hatch]

i swiped you in and you lost your ham burger

[devout mirage]

i will def take any chance i get to come

[white hazel]

How do you lose

A hamburger

[devout mirage]

i didnt even get to eat it 😭

[native hatch]

that’s a skill issue

[devout mirage]

honestly it was so hard to eat all the rich person food they gave us

that burger would have been so nice

[dire olive]

Cool, can students get paid during the school year

[native hatch]

Yes

[dire olive]

Nice

Is it like kinda hard/competitive to get research or are they chill

[devout mirage]

are we meeting up again at admissions day

[celest atlas]

Guys I got into Columbia Science Reseaech Fellowship

How much value does that add?

[native hatch]

sure

[celest atlas]

I’m trying to compare Columbia and Berk for stats/data sci

[native hatch]

science fellows gives you a summer stipend

columbia has guaranteed housing btw

all 4y

[celest atlas]

I get guaranteed housing at Berk too, bcs regents
