[signal shard]

agree

[smoky flax]

bro is applying to all my schools

[lament dagger]

yall should withdraw your applications in protest🔥

[raven zenith]

Yea fr

[crisp dome]

the columbia protests are so

Oversensationalized

[lament dagger]

is barnard part of columbia

[chilly juniper]

Kinda

[alpine locust]

barnard is a college within columbia university

like how columbia college and the school of engineering are within columbia university

columbia college and engineering didnt admit women until 1987 so thats why barnard still exists while most other former women's colleges have merged into their counterpart schools

[lament dagger]

is barnard only women

[alpine locust]

yes

[lament dagger]

now also

[alpine locust]

yea

its still a womens school, it just operates under columbia university

[lament dagger]

damnn

why do they still have it for women only

[alpine locust]

because its a womens college

womens colleges still exist

before 1987 if women wanted to go to columbia they had to go to barnard

its not that far removed from today

[lament dagger]

then im ignorant ig, since i havent heard of a womens only college

[alpine locust]

most dont exist anymore which is why the ones that still do are very committed to their traditions

[dreamy terrace]

Manifesting Columbia University day 29! :))

[dreamy terrace]

Praying for your acceptance day 16

[chilly juniper]

Why

Wait lowkey that was a joke lol but im curious are there any all men colleges

[proud fulcrum]

yes

morehouse college in atlanta

[proud fulcrum]

they exist because they offer a more unique type of learning community that supports women

[alpine locust]

because until about 60 years ago (and sometimes even more recently) most colleges didnt allow women to enroll

there are still a lot of surviving alumni who are proud of the fact that they attended a women's college, especially since many of of said schools were direct alternatives to ivy leagues that didnt admit women

[crystal hazel]

1987 is crazy

[proud fulcrum]

it's actually 1983

not much better but worth making the distinction

[crystal hazel]

thank u for letting me know bc thats still so crazy

what shocks me is that my mom was alive

[proud fulcrum]

yeah same

it's wild to think im gonna be like

still relatively new in terms of female columbia students

compared to the 250 years of men theyve educated

[alpine locust]

mb i confused it w the first graduating class w women lol

[proud fulcrum]

wow i forgot to think about how it took 4 years for the women to graduate

my parents were literally teens when the first women graduated columbia....

[crystal hazel]

right my mom was 16 which is crazy

[chilly juniper]

Ooh that’s lowkey cool

If I have 2 grandparents that worked at Barnard that doesn’t help at all for Columbia right?

[proud fulcrum]

it might

i mean if you feel they made you more connected to columbia you could right about that as a jumping off in your why columbia essay

definitely not the same boost as legacy though, just something cool to mention

[thick flicker]

OMG I JUST GOT A LIKELY

[chilly juniper]

Bruh

Idt Columbia sends likelies till March

[simple pumice]

phone call or email ?

[viscid meteor]

[proud fulcrum]

[alpine locust]

usc moment

i think going to a women’s college at a school may have killed me but barnards merch goes so hard

i saw a girl here wearing a sweatshirt the other day and i was like “damn that’s so cute”

[sharp pike]

i don't get what Barnard is tbh

[alpine locust]

it’s a women’s college within columbia university

[sharp pike]

is it still an "Ivy league" tho? Like it's FULLY integrated into Columbia

[alpine locust]

like how columbia college and the college of engineering are colleges under columbia

[alpine locust]

yes

[sharp pike]

oh ok cool

[alpine locust]

it’s like how harvard college is a college under harvard university

harvard’s equivalent of barnard was radcliffe but radcliffe was fully absorbed into harvard in the 2000s

[sharp pike]

sorry when u talk about Harvard you got to capitalize it beacuse we are that great

[alpine locust]

one of the main reasons barnard is still around is bc columbia college didn’t allow women to enroll until 1983

harvard was the 60s iirc

[sharp pike]

damn wtf

[alpine locust]

yea columbia highkey hates everyone

pr nightmare of a school

[sharp pike]

their FGLI office seemed pretty chill

Idk if it was because I was an Engineering Scholar thing/Likely Candidate or what but they offered me all kinds of stuff

like they were going to pay for me travel + a hotel room since I couldn't make it to the engineering days on the days they were offering

[alpine locust]

historically theyve been pretty controversial tho

like have sicced the national guard and nypd on their students several times

including when students were protesting against columbia's involvement in vietnam and the building of a segregated gym in morningside heights

[crisp dome]

Ya ngl we lowk need barnard

The men here can get lowk sexist

im just seeing things

i dont know why there is so much stuff though

is it like this for everyone

[dry temple]

yeah

😭

ivys are like that w documents

[dusky gorge]

oh ok then

right makes sense

[lavish island]

waitt can you expand on this 😭

[sleek ginkgo]

hey, as someone who goes to columbia, we have extreme groups on both ends but nobody will deport you. the only people they're "trying to go after" are people who already have had charges from spring 2024. at best lol and they're not going to be successful because honestly admin wants all of it to go away now

i was around when the protests happened, and i can assure you you're safe. bigger threats were made against both "sides" back then and nothing ever happened to anyone other than people who took over hamilton, all of the protestors charges were dropped

but things can def get dramatic and feel intense here. however you're pretty damn safe. at least now

my freshman dorm room overlooked everything that happened in the exact quad it happened in 2024

[brittle brook]

a co28 got it so i think it’s a mistake

he goes to cmu 😭🙏

[river basin]

lmfaoooo

[carmine patio]

You'll get another email soon

[carmine patio]

doesn't admit by major

[river basin]

they boutta email me saying im such a fucking dissapointment that i shouldnt have even applied there lmao

[halcyon willow]

so I shouldnt email them back asking abt it?

[carmine patio]

no, they'll email soon

[river basin]

no robertson and nontrivial

so sad

[keen lintel]

yes and i didn’t apply to columbia ??

[brittle brook]

💀

how did they get your email

[keen lintel]

assuming it was a mistake lmao

[brittle brook]

yeah no it’s kinda concerning that they just have it on file though
a co28 at cmu got it and i’m wondering if they keep everyone’s data ??

[keen lintel]

maybe from college board? i’m from the area also so it could be a school thing

[river basin]

wait the email came to one that i didnt even use commonapp on wtf??

[brittle brook]

i want my account to be deleted after admissions 😭🙏 if i don’t get in ofc

yeah no this is kinda concerning imo

how tf are they getting this email

[river basin]

no like i have 2 emails and the one it was sent to was the one that i didnt even apply for commonapp with lmfao

[brittle brook]

💀…

[halcyon willow]

they prob sent it out to their advertising mailing list

[river basin]

dang

[brittle brook]

yikes

[carmine patio]

they buy emails, someone may have attended an admissions event once, your email is everywhere

[brittle brook]

that’s true

[halcyon willow]

my friend who applied to columbia didnt get it tho

super weird

[slate zenith]

did any columbia student get that email

[lyric marsh]

Bruh im over here thinking that maybe they accidentally sent it to a group of admitted students 🤭🤭… but im just a bot

[carmine patio]

It's definitely a much wider group than even this year's admission pool

[lyric marsh]

Why tf is my msg buggin

[lyric marsh]

😔

[viscid meteor]

No they even sent it to people that didn’t apply

Lol

[lyric marsh]

columbia git my hopes up

[misty gulch]

what does it look like

[crisp dome]

I think this is a scam

My friend who didnt apply and studies in australia got it

i think they got hacked or dmth lol

[sharp pike]

nah i also got it

[brittle brook]

if anyone's worried about fafsa this is what they told me

[exotic plinth]

Ohhhh

Thank you

[dry temple]

ermmm so how’d they get mine

[sleek ginkgo]

i got that too and was so confused

it doesnt mean anything

they sent it to my icloud

[frosty oxide]

I got this too I didnt even apply

[alpine locust]

it means nothing lmfao

they likely accidentally sent it to everyone on their general email list instead of everyone on the admitted applicants list

[livid spruce]

bro

[ivory stag]

columbia database got absolutely cooked today

[dusky gorge]

lmfao i didnt even get it

nvm i got it was in spam

[livid spruce]

I didnt even apply COlumbia

[misty gulch]

lmao i just checked my spam and saw this

[misty gulch]

columbia ao called my counselor to ask about me 😭 is this a common thing my irl told me to search online but i couldnt find anything

[dense wagon]

OH OH OH OH OH

[misty gulch]

im scared what if its a bad sign

[vernal ice]

sometimes they want to verify things

or clarifications

[manic spade]

i think if anything tis a good sign lol

u got this!

dont like bank on things liek this tho

but i dont see why it would be a bad sign

[misty gulch]

ok i just asked my counselor, she said they called to verify my circumstances/character

probably cs of my extentuating circumstances but

[dense wagon]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MY GOAT

MY GOAT

JENI

[vernal ice]

congrats it probably means ur still considered

[misty gulch]

this is true !!!!!

[dense wagon]

im so proud of u jeni

[vernal ice]

they prob do it for integrity purposes as well

[misty gulch]

well hopefully everything goes well

my counselor asked if i heard back from my colleges yet because of it

[vernal ice]

nah everyone is gonna be hearing back on the 27th at least for cu

[misty gulch]

LMAOO exactly 😭 so i just told her i got into a few but im waiting on march decisions

[slate zenith]

damn i thought they would be done with applications already

i’ll take it as a good sign though

[brittle brook]

wait did your counselor tell you they called

[misty gulch]

yes!

[brittle brook]

hm

i wonder if they called mine since she submitted my midyr report without me asking

[misty gulch]

you could probably ask your counselor

mine also submitted my midyear reports w/o me asking, although tbh we're on trimesters so its just first tri grades being resent

[dense wagon]

probably not

I saw a middle aged man today at vivienne westwood wearing both a columbia shirt and a construction hat

like the helmey

[crystal quarry]

march 7 2024 likelies went out

which would be the sixth for this year

assuming this reddit post wasn’t lying

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/7F9K17Wlgx

[slate zenith]

didn’t they already send some already

or does columbia do waves

[opaque shadow]

where's mine??

[exotic plinth]

I think waves

[exotic plinth]

Some went out on the 14th i believe (idk if it was columbia or another ivy)

[viscid meteor]

unless you're cracked as shit ur not getting a likely

forget about it

[crystal quarry]

my friend got it and was arguably a bad applicant

he has good supps and stats but that’s it

bad awards, mid ecs, and middle income white

[slate zenith]

i don’t want march 27th to come

🥲

[chilly juniper]

This year?

[misty gulch]

do they come in waves?

my friend got hers march 10th last year

[crystal quarry]

last year

[crystal quarry]

ya i believe so

[dense wagon]

we all know ur getting one bro

[misty gulch]

ts is NOT happening 😭 🙏

atp im manifesting it for u too

[thick flicker]

how nice of you!

[alpine locust]

columbia is just weird with who they accept lmfao

i know a girl who got into every ivy she applied for except columbia

[crystal quarry]

thats what he said about himself

[frozen ridge]

priding ourselves on quirkiness

[thick flicker]

sure

did he also say he had bad awards and mid ec's and that it was becuase he was middle income white

[smoky flax]

💀

[onyx chasm]

u either get into most ivies and get rejected from Columbia or get rejected from most ivies and get into Columbia

lit every time

hoping I’m the second one fr

[dense wagon]

😭 😭

[dreamy terrace]

Manifesting Columbia University day 39 :))

[dreamy terrace]

Praying for your acceptance day 25!

[crystal quarry]

he said bad awards and bad ec’s he didn’t say anything about his income, i only mentioned that in case people were wondering if he had a hook

but he genuinely had insane supps

my point was that anyone can get into any school and that it’s holistic

[thick flicker]

hook is not a thing unless you're maybe a legacy

race and income ain't a hook

[thick flicker]

this sounds like a compliment now, but your original variation of saying this was saying he was arguably a bad applicant with bad this bad that

what do you consider good ecs/awards then??

also lets say his supps were objectively insane- then he was not an objectively bad applicant 💀

[crystal quarry]

like his best ec was a club position he held for one year, literally all he does is go home and play valorant lmao

don’t think he had any awards other than like ones for like top 10% of ur class but we live in oklahoma so it’s really easy to get good grades

[crystal quarry]

well compared to the rest of the perceived applicant pool, maybe i phrased that bad and i apologize for that but im not saying anything that he wouldn’t say himself

he’s an incredible guy and he put on the work

in*

and also anyone has the possibility to write good supps so i’m saying it’s all in the applicants hands

[thick flicker]

ok thats better :D thank you for realizing

9/10 people i callout dont realize

i'd reject him for playing valorant though

[sleek frost]

any students accepted after a deferral?

did anyone elses financial aid change alot

mine got like 3-4 items added and everything receieved today

my css was not recieved until today, and now there is a bunch of extra items in the list

[manic spade]

nope i may be cooked

my css fin aid still says its not received but atp oh well

if they need it they'll ask

and its def received caue they got my idoc

[slate zenith]

my scholarship form changed

[quick sentinel]

where can u check this?

nevermind i found it

[slate zenith]

has anyone’s fafsa form been received yet

[gleaming veldt]

mine was

[slate zenith]

what’s the status date for it

[gleaming veldt]

2/10/2025

[slate zenith]

oh damn

😔😔😔

i sent an email about it today because someone told me to do so

i hope i’m not bothering them

[gleaming veldt]

no thats good its better safe than sorry yk

its part of their job to make sure all of ur app stuff is correct

dw

[frozen ridge]

I got my fafsa checked in pretty early last month as well, but i also ed

[wide rose]

mine was checked on 2/10 and im rd so maybe its just situational

[frozen ridge]

generally they'll keep checking them in until probably ivy day

[vernal ice]

all my docs have been checked from very early

so if there is a delay its not bc of columbia its prob bc of the DoE

[frozen ridge]

hate fucking trump admin rn

[vernal ice]

it wouldnt surprise me if they have already cut some of their staff

[frozen ridge]

they're doing everything to ruin columbia lowkey 😭

im sorry trump that baron doesn't go there but instead nyu

[vernal ice]

It is a sensitive issue, but one of the reasons that I chose to study in the states was because the attitude on University Campuses was calmer

And I wouldnt want to be going to a university that has an encampment every week. This happens in my city and ordinary students suffer from the cancellations of lectures, exams, vandalism etc

Then again idk if the protests in columbia were truly violent or if its bs

[frozen ridge]

I chose columbia because the students were willing to speak up against policies the university were implementing, they're moldbreakers

Punishing that is absolutely against the first amendment

of course, that doesn't count harrassment and harming others

[vernal ice]

Indeed

Its hard to decide really because on the one hand I dont believe anyone's protest should be allowed to ruin another one's wish to go to class normally, or to be able to use the campus without being afraid, but then again, its impossible to hold a large scale protest without any disruptions

And if disruptions are used as an excuse to cancel protests it becomes authoritarian at some point

Either way I hope that if I get into columbia things will be a bit better

[proper kernel]

they should protest infront of the whitehouse

not in columbia

[frozen ridge]

I just abhor how this administration is literally throwing a little hissy fit over columbia specifically though

[proper kernel]

why, what did they do

[vernal ice]

Well its the rage bait approach of any populist administration

They pick an example thats popular and make a case study out of it

[frozen ridge]

The policies trump is proposing in regards to rescinding funding at universities with active protests is so targeted and blatant

[proper kernel]

is it in effect?

[frozen ridge]

I think so?

[proper kernel]

aint no way lmao

[vernal ice]

I know for a fact that cuts have occured in graduate programs

But I think undergraduates are untouched rn

*yet

[frozen ridge]

I sure hope so, the sticker price is hella expensive

[buoyant hare]

https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/10/16/columbias-endowment-rises-to-148-billion-on-pace-to-outperform-peer-institutions-in-investment-returns/
seems like columbia is doing well financially 🧐

[vernal ice]

It is. COA is around 90k+ now

Yes because they re-invest their endowments

Without these they would probably be operating on a deficit

Either way I have a friend that is full pay, and honestly, if I was, I wouldn't give that money to go to any university.

[frozen ridge]

Confirmation bias, https://standcolumbia.org/2025/02/08/issue-028-federal-funding-cuts-shake-higher-education-and-could-cost-columbia-over-200-million/

[vernal ice]

You can literally buy a house with that money, rent it, and get a better return

Anyway

I think they view the docs for everyone

To be ready to send a package if you are admitted

[frozen ridge]

It doesn’t matter, I think people tweaking over finaid portal are similar to portal astrology subscribers

[vernal ice]

Also I got an IDOC for brown which many people passed on as a "sign" and I ended up getting deferred, so I wouldn't take any finaid stuff as a sign

[frozen ridge]

as long as they view your docs and have them, you shouldn’t worry too much

[vernal ice]

Unless you get a merit scholarship or smth (which columbia college doesnt offer as far as i know)

[frozen ridge]

Sergios where else are you applying to

[frozen ridge]

They don’t, it’s mostly grants

[vernal ice]

Quite a few schools, but amongst my first picks are Georgetown, Tufts, MIT, Williams, Amherst, Princeton, Pomona

Around ~22 schools

I'm kind of in a medium place rn, because I believe the notion of safeties targets and reaches is outdated. So theoretically I could get many offers, and even no offers.

And if I don't get offers I can't compete for entry for national universities because I chose the IB route, so im kinda screwed. I'm curious to see where this risk takes me..

[frozen ridge]

Bro is gambling with one of the most important decisions of his life

[frozen ridge]

Tufts is fake prestige ngl 😭

[wide rose]

grrr i like tufts

i have e10 schools left and im stressed

[vernal ice]

i dont really care about the prestige

moreso that tufts has a VERY good alumni network

for politics and foreign service

especially in my country

for me its about getting a quality education and forging strategic connections

[wide rose]

u can say tufts isnt prestigious but companies love tufts grads

[frozen ridge]

i just haven't heard tufts mentioned AT ALL typically 😭

but ig it could be a dartmouth effect type thing

[vernal ice]

for the job that I want to do the name on my degree isnt that important

[wide rose]

yeah because if we're talking boston esp its all abt harvard and mit

[vernal ice]

eitherway im prob gonna do my masters straight away after in belgium

so ppl are gonna look at my masters

[wide rose]

i hope to do my masters asap after grad aswell, hopefully abroad

[vernal ice]

college d'europe

[wide rose]

perhaps germany or the uk

[vernal ice]

master in european public administration

[wide rose]

idk yet

[vernal ice]

costs like 40k for two years so i need to save up

cause my parents wont be able to pay for that at that point

[wide rose]

im planning for either biomedE, roboE, or biomedical robotics/bionics engineering

[wide rose]

no aid?

[vernal ice]

only some merit scholarships but i dont count on getting one

[wide rose]

ah okay

[vernal ice]

if i do that would be great

[wide rose]

ong

[vernal ice]

but its a good investment

cause 90% of their grads

end up working for eu institutions with a starting avg salary of 80k/eur/year

which is godly for EU

[wide rose]

holy W

yo gimme that

[vernal ice]

I'm gonna work my ass off in the summers to save up some money

Frankly I had a very good time in hs so I dont have the need for a "student lifestyle" from now on

And hopefully all goes well

[wide rose]

also that doesnt mean tufts doesnt have prestige, its just yall aint talking about it

[vernal ice]

Prestige is something artificial many times. If I told my grandma that I'm going to georgetown she would ask me what is that school. I dont know it, so it probably isnt good (and then she would proceed to ask me about the two schools she does know which are harvard and yale)

But I know that in those 4 years in georgetown, im probably more likely to be able to work for DoS after rather than going to yale, because each school has something special

[alpine locust]

aid has nothing to do with admissions

they need to have aid offers ready when decisions are released so they do it for everyone who applies

they are obligated to look at the documents that you give them lol

[frozen ridge]

it's also extremely expensive out of state from what i've heard domestically, hence probably lack of sample to even draw from personally

[wide rose]

its a private school

in state/oos dont matter

[alpine locust]

yea that lol

tufts is a very good school for very niche fields which is why you dont hear it talked about as much

its great for fine/studio arts (they run the school at the museum of fine arts), veterinary science, and anthropology

none of which are especially popular lol

[frozen ridge]

yeah shows how little i know/hear about tufts 😭

[wide rose]

its that + its good for engineering

i applied mainly for the research they are doing there

i dont think my supps were very good though...

[alpine locust]

highkey tufts supps were some of my least favorites lol

such a small wordcount for very broad questions

[wide rose]

yeah i kind of had to just lessen my words from other prompts

[vernal ice]

They were not as interesting indeed.

But they were challenging.

You had to get your message communicated to them very briefly and to the point.

[wide rose]

yeah

mine were kind of broad though i didnt really specify any research they were doing or that i was interested in

[wide rose]

so i think im cooked

[frozen ridge]

what happened

[wide rose]

nothing just my why tufts supp was a little broad and didnt dive further into what i talked about besides that i wanna do biomed and robotic research

"The university's strong emphasis on research, notably in robotics and medical devices, will enable me to contribute to bionic engineering, including prosthetics and artificial organs." etc etc

i sound like a robot every time i write 😭 i cant bro

[frozen ridge]

ai happened

[wide rose]

wdym

are you accusing me of ai or that ai is what happened to make me sound like a robot im confused

[frozen ridge]

The latter

I feel like everyone's so much more self conscious about their verbiage and structuring now

[wide rose]

oh yeah 100%, also its so inconsistent

ive had something i handwrote during a timed writing come back as 26% ai 💀

[frozen ridge]

what the fuck 😭

I think ai checkers are still so bad at it that you cannot rely on them to try and get students

unless there's an egregious shift in writing style or complex vocabulary

[wide rose]

yeah or theres an obvious use of words that dont fit the structure

[frozen ridge]

also i dont think it's fair to heavily HEAVILY punish a student for light ai usage to enhance grammar or comb the internet for most relevant research articles

[wide rose]

yeah and i feel like we're moving to a point where its almost guarenteed 1/5 students use ai in some capacity

[frozen ridge]

we have to learn that it'll likely be a large part of life by the end of this decade, honestly

[wide rose]

yeah, i use grammarly and quillbot all the time for grammar and word use and thats AI

i use deepseek for math so i can display equations digitally

[frozen ridge]

it would be like punishing kids who used the internet back in the late 90s for essay help or scholarly articles instead of looking through encyclopedias 💀

or even spellcheck

[wide rose]

😭

[wide rose]

spellcheck has saved my ass too many times

[frozen ridge]

personally, as long as the whole essay isn't written by ai and most of it is you, i don't think there's an issue

[wide rose]

yeah

theres need to be human interference

[exotic plinth]

Did yall submit your mid years to columbia

[lavish island]

shouldn't your counselor submit that?

[wide rose]

yes

[wide rose]

yep

[exotic plinth]

Oh 😔

[still wigeon]

are there likelies going out today?

[slate zenith]

maybe

someone said it’s usually the first thursday of march

but it was an ad 💀

[proper kernel]

i didnt get it

[chilly juniper]

Likelies in 1 min?

[vernal ice]

there were no likelies coming out today anyway?

[chilly juniper]

I checked the portal idk

[chilly juniper]

Ppl speculated so idk

[proper kernel]

portal would get an update?

[vernal ice]

even if tho only like a very few ppl will get one y u all stressing over them

chances are someone in here will be admitted and they will prob not get any indication before

[misty gulch]

yeah its not like theyre regular decisions LOL

[misty gulch]

maybe, my friend last year got it on sunday march 10th though

[earnest crane]
