hm yeah maybe mine gave me a LOR since the program suggested it
plucky kernel
I've looked at the math it's not hard
the time pressure is a big part of the difficulty
proud fulcrum
But I don't think it's required
I put all the professor's info

viscid meteor
the time pressure is a big part of the difficulty

lmk if you want to find something
plucky kernel
idk about questbridge but here's what they have in the cds
zenith glacier
wait that's crazy cuz like ivycoach says its 650
https://www.ivycoach.com/the-ivy-coach-blog/ivy-league/columbia-early-decision-admission-statistics/
maybe they increased it in 2023?
plucky kernel
plucky kernel
no other ED data is available
hollow basalt
i’m just cooked
zenith glacier
huh
hollow basalt
does it say how many people they take under each major
plucky kernel
nope
zenith glacier
yeah no columbia's pretty stingy w/ this stuff
hollow basalt
they probably have set numbers for that
zenith glacier
prolly cuz of the scandal
proud fulcrum
idk about questbridge but here's what they have in the cds
🙏🙏
zenith glacier
they seem to be increasing the number of ED applicants accepted yearly?
last yr 840
the year before 786
and from 2018-2021 exactl 650
spiral basalt
ugh i regret not eding
plucky kernel
and from 2018-2021 exactl 650
650 figure is not true.
They didn't release ED data back then
plucky kernel
last yr 840
slight variation is normal
rare ruin
All kpop fans in this chat rn love that
yesss
zenith glacier
hmmm... I wonder if the 120 QB compared to the 70 last year means they'll accept less regular ED applicants or more...
probably less right
sleek frost
but tbh like
based on what someone else said about the cds ed accepted students it's prob not accurate
same
even tho it is a win getting deferred would still be crushing
like kms i still have to do rd and it's not really even that selective ??
zenith glacier
I heard from somewhere that defer rate is also pretty low
but yeah it's still soft rejection probs
zenith glacier
yeah same
I wonder how many faculy/legacy and recruited atheletes and already admitted QB students take up the ED spots
plucky kernel
from ivycoach here - https://www.ivycoach.com/the-ivy-coach-blog/ivy-league/what...
"our sources within Columbia’s admissions office"
probably bs
zenith glacier
yeah some sources say deferal rate and acceptance rate for ED is the same
sleek frost
"our sources within Columbia’s admissions office"
probably bs
oh i hope
sleek frost
nonetheless we can try!!!!!!
zenith glacier
yeah
and faculty
takes up abunch
there are 802 student athletes at columbia
assuming 200 of them are in one year
nah let's go with 750
conservatively
it varies
sleek frost
400 is actually so tiny
i choose peace
it's like 6000 something? idk the exact number
sleek frost
did they post ed numbers for this year?
spiral basalt
sooo does anyone know if i can submit a film portfolio that relates to my extracirrculars but not my major? is that allowed or will they j disregard it

okat betttt thanks!!
zenith glacier
ok if it makes y'all feel any better using the cds I crunched the numbers, 'round 36% of all columbia admissions are ED
again???!!!!
9% is an unfriendly number. lets do an even 10
spiral basalt
yeah you're fine i did the same thing as long it'll be a boost i assume and even...
so on the slideshow room thing do i just press film even if that isnt my intended major?
zenith glacier
but 11 is luckier...

thank you!
zenith glacier
but 11 is luckier...
we might as well just round up to 13% cuz that's the amount of episodes per network season
plucky kernel
36% of all ADMITTED applicants
you're double counting
sleek frost
it only takes one 🤣
yeah
omfg if i get straight rejected even tho it's so likely im gonna be upset
somebody's getting a 30 minute microwaved honeybun thrown on their backs
crystal quarry
he was spanish honor society vice president and that was basically it. the rest of his ec's were filler mostly and he had maybe 5-6 in total
he had 35 superscore act
all 5's
thats about it
his supps were good
his personal was ass
no hes white middle income
no legacy
zenith glacier
13 is an unlucky number let's do 15. But 15 is so close to 20... might as well round up to 25 to make it a quarter. Buttt... y'know 27 is 3^3..... and 33% has a nice ring to it.... Might as well just round up to 50%. Ahh what the hell 75%. Y'know what let's bump that a tad up to 100%. 100% acceptance rate CONFIRMED

harvard, brandeis, tufts, wellesley

my friend that got into boston college ed did the same and chatgpt told him that he has a 50% chance of acceptance
I wouldn’t really trust chatgpt tho

you guys should instead ask a2cgpt

maybe chatgpt is accurate cause im sure its able to compare your stats and essays to all other available accepted essays and stats
and then tell you your chances from there
tbf they cant really take in account how holistic columbia is in terms of geography too
proud fulcrum
maybe chatgpt is accurate cause im sure its able to compare your stats and essay...
chatgpt isn't a person though so it can't account for human connection
like what if the ao reading your file did the same ec as you in high school and it slightly humanizes you in there eyes.... add up enough of those little tiny things and that can really sway decisions i feel
oh my god their not there
frozen ridge
you think they all have your application decisions but just waiting to hit send now
proud fulcrum
i figure yeah
frozen ridge
cause i firmly believe they're letting em marinate
sartreuse are you also applying ed columbia
if so im truly cooked

yes are you as well
proud fulcrum
if so im truly cooked
why

from what ive heard youre a legend

well they first compare u with ur region/school and then other applicants
