Columbia University (2025-2026)

[dire wasp]

who in their right mind would put SMUT

😭

[clear blaze]

CCS is a classic, based pick

LMAO WHAT

In what world is that ever a good idea

[meager bloom]

WTF

[meager bloom]

HELLO???

[celest ocean]

Me putting ouran high school host club 💀

[dire wasp]

PEAK

[celest ocean]

wait where lmao

[meager bloom]

Wait omg thats actually such a good one to do

Ive watched the anime but only have 1 manga

[celest ocean]

LMAO I read it in the school library in middle school

😭

[meager bloom]

Thats such a w pick

Kiss kiss fall in love

[narrow sun]

do you think it would be ok to include stuff with adult themes? Like The Bluest Eye

[glad sentinel]

100%

just dont have sexual innuendo in ur list and ur fine basically

[narrow sun]

great thank you!

[celest ocean]

Just don’t put booktok books in the list 💀

[glad sentinel]

like heated rivalry

no bueno

[meager bloom]

This is frying me

Wait would it be crazy to add Dexter

They won't think I'll turn into him right?

[clear blaze]

I put joker

[ashen ibex]

[pale dagger]

Personally I put some books

[dire wasp]

yeah i did too

[celest ocean]

LMAO

[glad sentinel]

such a good outcome

[clear blaze]

Help a brother out I still need that link for stepmothers marchen

[dire wasp]

i sent it to u

[ashen ibex]

67%

[clear blaze]

Oh wait you right

[meager bloom]

6 7

[untold ore]

what kind

as long as it’s not nsfw/hella controversial i think it’s probably ok

my favorite intellectual book, 50 shades of grey

[dire wasp]

i decided not to put cuz i ran out of space 😔

[torn mulch]

guys for why major question should i put in major specific programs or should i keep ts in the why columbia essay

i'm floundering so bad with this 150 word count

i'm really interested in the community outreach and the research that they do in their hudson river field station and i want to talk about it but i just don't know if i have space. #lowk

[celest ocean]

what about columbia x nyu enemies to lovers fanfiction

[meager bloom]

Lmfao

[clear blaze]

I think it makes more sense in the why Columbia one

For why major I literally just wrote about my inspiration

[torn mulch]

my why columbia is leaning heavy into community outreach rn so i feel better about talking abt it there

[dire wasp]

how do u write the why columbia essay when u live in ny

do i just extra glaze ny

😭

[torn mulch]

i mean u can lean into more of what columbia specifically offers or different programs that they have that benefit u

bc if u just glaze ny well whatever nyc has other universities that are well reputed

[dire wasp]

so i dont have to like talk a lot abt columbia w nyc ? cause i heard columbia likes that

[ashen ibex]

i'd say talk about columbia's unique positioning in nyc if you want to talk about nyc

[simple ruin]

If u can do the same shit at Fordham or NYU dont talk about it

[ashen ibex]

you just need to emphasize how you're a fit w the core curriculum

[willow sparrow]

i put the bluest eye on too

[simple ruin]

Yeah that's generally the idea
Why Columbia for more clubs/social stuff, why major for more academic/research stuff at Columbia

[ashen ibex]

the admissions instagram account also recently posted a video clarifying

[dire wasp]

Columbia mad work 😔

[simple ruin]

Lmao I j pulled it up

And my friend is on one of the posts

What da hell

[simple ruin]

Worth it

[glad sentinel]

columbia likes nyc because its strategic for them, so if you want to talk about nyc talk about nyc columbia, not nyc in general

what specifically about nyc involving columbia is unique only to columbia and not fordham or nyu type schools

[random cosmos]

do you need to talk about what you did for why major or will they assume that based on your ecs

i feel like a robot listing my achievements

[narrow sun]

It’s peak

[simple ruin]

Ideally you'd wanna expand

For example if u won a robotics competition talk about what u did for that competition , how it made you like comp eng/sci and what you wanna continue doing at columbia

[glad sentinel]

ah yes my favorite

really brings out the neural networks

[ashen sinew]

What attracts you to your preferred areas of study at Columbia College or Columbia Engineering? (150 words or fewer)

is this a why columbia or a why major supp? im so confused

[glad sentinel]

why major

[ashen sinew]

so i shouldnt rly talk about columbia on this one?

[glad sentinel]

talk about why your major + why specifically columbia’s offering of that major (out of every college in the world) is best for your major

[ashen sinew]

oh ok

[glad sentinel]

if u want let me

send u an instagram link

of the aos clarifying

is that ok

[ashen sinew]

yea bet

[untold ore]

id rather it be cornell

[untold ore]

PEAK i put beloved

[sinful grove]

would someone be able to read my columbia sups

[autumn minnow]

even better, don't talk about ny

[dire wasp]

[torn mulch]

Is it ok if i mention nyc offhandedly or is that too trite

I wanted to quickly talk abt the met opera and their free tickets bc lowk i already go to the met and i love their productions

[ionic remnant]

i think it would make more sense to connect that to the music humanities core class bc you go to the opera as part of the curriculum

[torn mulch]

that's really cool ty

[chilly warren]

wait for columbia's list sup can we orgaize with like labels, like books: x; x; x; films x; x; x;
or nah just like everything is like one loose list

[cold cipher]

either works

[burnt plover]

should i apply for undergrad or for postgrad 😨 i'm worried my app will be rushed but i don't just want to give up

[meager bloom]

I did a loose list

[glad sentinel]

u miss every chance u dont take!

[burnt plover]

so effing true man

[glad sentinel]

what other schools have u applied to?

there is one in particular with supplementals very close to columbia

makes it easy to pick and reuse

[burnt plover]

georgia tech, uw-madison, uiuc, umn-tc, jhu, purdue, penn state, u cincinnati

[burnt plover]

oh that's so true!

i took a short break from applying to unis and then i just kept on procrastinating and procrastinating

[pale dagger]

Hi lions

[stuck fox]

you can do this?

[burnt plover]

nono hahhaaha

i meant should i apply for undergrad right now or wait, get my undergrad degree, and apply to columbia for a masters degree

[stuck fox]

ohh

[limpid vortex]

Hi. For the columbia optional research supplement, does that apply only if you did research with a columbia faculty member? Or does it apply if you did research in general? just wanted to double check

Research Supplement (Optional)

Before completing this section, kindly review our instructions on supplementary materials. Links to research that you have included in any section of the Common Application (e.g., Dropbox, Google Drive, websites, etc.) will not be reviewed.

Have you completed research with a faculty member, adviser or mentor in an academic discipline such as science, engineering, humanities, social science, languages or other academic interests?

this is what it says

[meager bloom]

Research in general

Why would it only be fkr columbia faculty????

😭

[limpid vortex]

mbmb 😭 just wanted to double check

thanks for lmk

[pale dagger]

Guys

I'm not sure if I can mention one YouTube channel

Since it's abt science and history, but author often touches sensitive topics

Sam O'Nella Academy if interested

[glad sentinel]

define sensitive

[pale dagger]

Showing violence and joking abt stereotypes

[glad sentinel]

is it offensive

violence isnt inherently bad to put considering most novels u read in high school have aspects of it

[pale dagger]

Not rlly, he's just messing around

[pale dagger]

I think I'm gonna mention ts

Also I highly recommend this channel

[glad sentinel]

the rule of thumb should be if you’re questioning to put it just dont

[willow sparrow]

oh pfp ate

[glad sentinel]

omg cuntwink said the same

[willow sparrow]

for once we agreed 😮

[dire wasp]

if i mentioned like one of the architects in my list can i reference it again for the why columbia essay to reinforce it or is it better to put a different one

[willow sparrow]

thats fine

[torn mulch]

lowk is it a bad idea to put tarantino films in my list

[untold ore]

oh i’ve watched his vids

from what i’ve watched of him i think it’s fine to put it imo

but maybe i am not aware of something he has done

[pale dagger]

The guy is cool, but wrh last video a year ago

[untold ore]

shure

[pale dagger]

Nah, he just makes 1 video a year and disappears

[untold ore]

where did he go 💔

but yeah i think it’s fine to put him

[pale dagger]

He says that he's studying and doesn't have time

[untold ore]

i put a couple things on my list that some may consider controversial/were banned books in some places

it is important to engage with any and all media with critical thinking

[pale dagger]

I mean yea, that makes sense

Also did u put any tiktok accounts? Just curious

[untold ore]

no

only youtube channels

[pale dagger]

Ok ok

[sinful grove]

wait thankss ill send u a message!

[glossy agate]

"How did you meet your research adviser or mentor?*" (50 words)

"What role did your adviser/mentor play in your research?*" (50 words)

Do they just want me to say it? Are they expecting me to write a college essay?

[woven helm]

no you can just answer the question normally

[glossy agate]

alr thx

[timid bramble]

Do we have to be specific in this

like related to the research

or general

[tribal grail]

Guys are my short question answers supposed to show up on the PDF at the end???

I can’t see them on my pdf

Please help

?

[glad sentinel]

i think they are a different part of the application

its weird

u have to submit two sections

submit the regular info, and then submit the supplements

[meager bloom]

Im already mentioning resewech on my ecs so the fact im rementioning it is a little silly

[glad sentinel]

not really

[meager bloom]

I mean ig cause its not in-depth fully + no abstract

I just havent seen any other ones ask this unless its to upload supp materials

[wary forge]

i put insta accts lol (but they were relatively educational)

[simple ruin]

Should be fine

[tawny anchor]

are you meant to mention columbia in this supp What attracts you to your preferred areas of study at Columbia College? (150 words or fewer)

or just the preferred area of study

[tawny anchor]

the writing supplement is submitted separately

[glad sentinel]

in their instagram they said its very similar to the why columbia essay and that they want to know why their majors u selected on the app are interesting to u

so idk

[charred radish]

can somebody read my why columbia essay

i need help making it less chopped

[narrow sun]

So it’s why major and why major at columbia (classes, programs)?

[clear blaze]

can you send link or smt

[simple ruin]

Why Columbia should be like

Clubs social stuff etc

Why major should be why major+ why at columbia

Research labs, classes, etc

[narrow sun]

Oh ok, can we include programs in why major as well? Like study abroad and stuff

[untold ore]

imo yes

as long as it relates to your major

[simple ruin]

If it's Columbia only. Some study abroad is through a program lots of colleges use, just double check

[maiden coral]

guys im almost done with columbia essays 🥹

[pale dagger]

Should I mention in my essays that I would use Columbia's location?(aka Nyc)

[maiden coral]

The advice i got from my counselor was yes definitely

[celest violet]

am i cooked if my abstract is 500 words

[ionic remnant]

if you backread we’ve talked ab this a few times recently, I think consensus was that you can mention it but make sure the essay is specific to columbia, it shouldn’t be applicable to any nyc school

[pale dagger]

Ofc I won't make it the main point

[chrome panther]

i forgot to talk abt nyc

[ionic remnant]

that’s also fine, you don’t have to

[chrome panther]

was too busy talking abt columbia's opportunities, and how it can help improve what i do

[pale dagger]

I listed Cunk on Earth lol

[ionic remnant]

if you have space in the word count you can include them

[burnt plover]

can i mention six seven in my adversity essay cos its when i was leading high schoolers and they kept saying six seven and being distracted idk maybe relatable to the ao

[near whale]

yes this is a great idea actually

[celest ocean]

In college/university, students are often challenged in ways that they could not anticipate. Please describe a situation in which you have navigated through adversity and discuss how you changed as a result. (150 words or fewer)

what do i even write about 💔

[willow sparrow]

have you not faced any challenges

[celest ocean]

my grandpa dying

Is that too cliche 😭

[glad sentinel]

i think the only cliche thing is a sports injury

[celest ocean]

thankfully I don’t play sports

💀

[torn mulch]

is it cliche 2 write abt having to reconstruct my social life after covid for adversity essay

[celest ocean]

probably not

[pale dagger]

Guys

Is it a good think to mention Harriman institute and programs provided on behalf of showing my culture?

Idk cuz many universities have programs or centers related to my country, so Idk

[willow sparrow]

lol i wrote about being bad at sports

for fordham i wrote about asthma tho 💀

[red bluff]

could it be written by someone other than you?

do you have something unique to say

[pale dagger]

Guys

[torn mulch]

Hmm #true

[pale dagger]

I need help and someone to act read my supps. Can anyone pls help me? Preferrably undergrad/prefrosh, but not obligatory

[willow sparrow]

one thing to note @torn mulch that this essay is one AOs read quite literally 50,000 times over the past 5 years… although we are definitely post covid now, everyone was very affected by it for 1-2 years after and they wrote about it

so yeah… even though it might just be a blast from the past for them, they might really want to move on from covid

i would advise against it since we all had to deal with covid to some degree

[pale dagger]

Also I think I wrote awesome fucking Why college

Even ChatGPT said it's hella good

[torn mulch]

thank u for this ❤️ changed up my adversity essay topic for something more personal to me and my family and i feel better about it

[drowsy gulch]

Lowkirkenuinely

[pale dagger]

I feel so performative😭

[torn mulch]

I feel like a dweeb 😭

[pale dagger]

Like I have The Founder on my list and I'm economics major...

Yes, I find interesting how businesses thrived and economics grew!!!!!

[torn mulch]

I have nothing that relates to my major other than a couple lectures

I’ve been classic lit maxxing for the past 4 years and nothing 😭 😭 else

[glad sentinel]

period

ur down to the core

[torn mulch]

trueeee

https://tenor.com/view/cynthia-cynthia-erivo-happy-shock-shocked-gif-11623234529401092546

[pale dagger]

College apps are confusing

Listing smth related to major is good

Listing smth unrelated... Is also good!

Wth

[glad sentinel]

not really

these institutions pride themselves on the liberal education so they want you to list things that show case stuff across, not just one interest!

[pale dagger]

Sigh

Ts pmo

[oak pilot]

We can’t call everything cliche

I don’t think cliche/niche topics matter in the slightest for college admissions

[drowsy gulch]

I just got a warning for evading the filter I was literally just abbreviating 😭

[torn mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/mmm-good-smoke-cigarette-smoking-gif-15715252

[drowsy gulch]

Oh yours was deleted too lol

[burnt plover]

did you guys split the why major + why major at columbia 50/50? or quickly talk about why major and then spent most of it as why columbia

[clear blaze]

i talked about the inspiration then what i hope to with the major at columbia

[near whale]

Same 😞

Groundwork in the metaphysics of morals 😭🙏😭🙏

[untold ore]

i did 2/3 why major 1/3 major at columbia

[untold ore]

what happened

[untold ore]

also lowkey

just list what you like LMFAO

i put a black mirror episode on there because i liked it

[drowsy gulch]

I abbreviated classic literature incorrectly v_v

[untold ore]

i put vi hart on there and the ted ed riddles channel

like i watched those during breakfast they were my cocomelon

just list what you enjoy :D

[untold ore]

i did recall seeing that

im not sure how else you abbreviate it though

class lit??

[drowsy gulch]

That feels like it would be some sort of anticapitalist thing though

[untold ore]

😭

herlp

[drowsy gulch]

Guys I’m gonna get banned for abbreviations 😭

Also

Guess who didn’t get to go skiing today bc she injured herself even worse by climbing while injured for a glimpse video for Barnard

[untold ore]

i hope u recover soon 🥀 that is awful

[drowsy gulch]

Yeah

I had better get in istg

[near whale]

[drowsy gulch]

So be careful

[clear blaze]

[near whale]

[near whale]

doctorsus asking for stats

a2cers gonna a2c ig

[drowsy gulch]

Yeah

Didn’t find it insensitive though

Was just looking at something else for a minute

[drowsy gulch]

We got this

Injuring my back was worth it if it means rd Barnard

[near whale]

do you wanna look over my columbia supps 😭

[near whale]

barnard baddies 😭

ts why i need to go to columbia

[drowsy gulch]

Probably a bad person for that, considering I got rejected

[near whale]

yeah ig

[drowsy gulch]

That’s gonna be me fr. I’ve been practicing my makeup skills

[near whale]

i j want a sanity check lmao

[near whale]

I mean, compared to me?

You’re probably fine

I have crap extracurriculars

[near whale]

[drowsy gulch]

And I might be the only person from my graduating class who attends college

Or at least in a minority that does

[near whale]

you got this

barnard bound

[drowsy gulch]

Thank you

You got this too

[near whale]

😭

[drowsy gulch]

I will claw my way out of this educational hole trust

The tldr is that I got touched and then started failing in school, so my parents paid an unnecessary amount of money to put me in this weird sped school with eight people in my grade and students hitting mailboxes, and now I’m angry and bitter about everything that was taken from me so I’ve worked really hard at school lol

[near whale]

damn 😭

i can't even begin to imagine what that's like

[drowsy gulch]

Legit had to get spots at other schools for all of my AP exams bc my school doesn’t offer them

Can’t take my AP physics or my AP gov exam this year bc there weren’t spots available at other schools

[drowsy gulch]

Real shame I didn’t write my adversity essay about that

Maybe I could’ve gotten in

[near whale]

💔

my adversity essay is so buns

[drowsy gulch]

What’s it about

Can’t be worse than mine

[near whale]

my supps are lowk all shit 😭

[drowsy gulch]

Mine was about Covid

[near whale]

it's lowk my weakest essay

i think my

[clear blaze]

disagreement one lowk kinda tough

[near whale]

disagreement essay is lowk fire

it reads so chat gpt tho 😭 🙏

we're fried

[clear blaze]

opposite for me whats it about

[drowsy gulch]

I wrote about how someone hit me at work and didn’t get fired and I disagreed with that decision

[near whale]

wanna trade

[clear blaze]

like in dms?

[near whale]

yeah

[clear blaze]

[wary forge]

dw i hated mine too lmaoo 😭 i reread them after my decision and they were so ass idk what i was thinking

[drowsy gulch]

Did you get in?

[wary forge]

yeah but i genuinely think it was despite my supps lol
ig what im saying is that even if u don’t think you’ll get in u still have a chance

[drowsy gulch]

Doesn’t matter

You got in!

I’m like, lowkirkenuinely terrified that my school is counting against me in apps

[pliant cobalt]

eh they don’t have to answer

[pliant cobalt]

and this is good

[drowsy gulch]

Their loss, really

I channel all of my rage into academics

[near whale]

https://tenor.com/view/fig-gif-26092737

[drowsy gulch]

So I’m a perfect fit for any school

Except the one I’m at rn

[pliant cobalt]

did you apply barnard

[drowsy gulch]

Yes

[pliant cobalt]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/lgvhud/rejected_from_columbia_likely_to_barnard/

this may be of use

[drowsy gulch]

That’s the school that I injured myself doing the glimpse video for

I may have been in so much pain I could barely walk, but I am desperate, and climbed that wall and gave my speech, and you couldn’t even tell it hurt

If they don’t let me in I’m suing istg

[pliant cobalt]

what are the barnard supps

[drowsy gulch]

Just one

You have to write about a woman you would have a convo with

Anyways

It’s late here, so gn

[near whale]

my ex 💔

[clear blaze]

fr, she might've been the only girl i had a convo with

[simple ruin]

It's not really an all girls school experience tbh

They're basically part of Columbia we have classes on their campus and lots of ppl go to their dining halls/library all the time

[random cosmos]

can somebody review my columbia supps? and my personal statement if you can

i would greatly appreciate it

[timid bramble]

60-40 i think

[glad sentinel]

the essay should be more geared towards why major

you’ve already given them a why columbia

[autumn minnow]

some do

[autumn minnow]

apply, you won’t regret it

[autumn minnow]

i mentioned channels

[autumn minnow]

err on the side of caution

[autumn minnow]

up to you

[autumn minnow]

no

you could

[autumn minnow]

i think it’s like this dw

[chilly warren]

big question

[autumn minnow]

yes

[chilly warren]

im lowk conflicted as to whether i should present my biomedical engineering for a maker portfolio or for academic research (which is directly on the common app)

[pliant cobalt]

did you do it with a professor

[autumn minnow]

i generally tell people not to mention study abroad: “yeah i want to come to your school so i can study at another school”

(it is a wonderful opportunity though)

[chilly warren]

my projects are both technically engineering research, tailored to ISEF requirements

[autumn minnow]

if relevant

[autumn minnow]

i didn’t mention it at all, was fine

[pale dagger]

I think I wrote rlly good Why Columbia

[chilly warren]

theyre independent resesrch projects but i was advised by my science research teacher

[chilly warren]

no

[pale dagger]

Btw

[autumn minnow]

in 50,000 applications basically everything is cliche… which also means nothing is

[chilly warren]

i thought you could submit the academic research portfolio if it was like supervised

and still independent

[autumn minnow]

no, it’s just like 5-6 years ago at this point

[pale dagger]

My list mainly according to my major. Is it good like that or when media list is more broad(aka on different tppics)?

[autumn minnow]

aura

[autumn minnow]

tldr everything is good

[autumn minnow]

yeah

[chilly warren]

is anyone here appplying biomed engineering to columbia and conducted research???

[autumn minnow]

it’s why major at columbia

[pliant cobalt]

i submitted yesterday btw

top choice

[autumn minnow]

bruh

[narrow sun]

oh yeah 😭😭 i ended up not using it but I’ll def change it up for other schools

[autumn minnow]

there’s somewhere better waiting for you

[autumn minnow]

real

[pale dagger]

I hope I will get in

[drowsy gulch]

Yeah, and that somewhere is Barnard

[pale dagger]

Columbia is one of the 5 colleges which are rlly nice to attend for me

[autumn minnow]

HELP LMAO

REAL SO REAL

[celest ocean]

💀

[wary forge]

yeah i think if you actually made some kind of product or project it wld be maker portfolio and otherwise it wld be research supplement

[pale dagger]

But I'm kinda scared as an int

[autumn minnow]

head up high no more self hate

[pliant cobalt]

are you applying hopkins btw

[pale dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/run-bird-stare-gif-26078678

[pale dagger]

I am

[autumn minnow]

it’s ok nobody’s are good i feel mine included

[near whale]

youtiao do you wanna look at my supps 💔

[autumn minnow]

yeah

[chilly warren]

guys i am conflicted as to whether i should submit my research for the maker or academic portfolio, so i conducted technically engineering research (Chemistry, Energy research respectively) according to ISEF research fair requirements. i dont have THAT many pics of the development process i guess, but like i guess my research poster would be best representative of that??

[pliant cobalt]

maker portfolio makes more sense

[chilly warren]

hmmm okay i see, so i did create something but im worried i barely have nay like final pics of it

for one i have more than the other

[chilly warren]

hmm okay

[chilly warren]

yes!

[autumn minnow]

wow oops that’s a lot of reply spam i didn’t realize that was from so long ago

[pliant cobalt]

most of it was yesterday

[chilly warren]

i made a small nanogenerator from biomaterials, and a electrochemical sensor (a smal electrode basically) so it's not the typical engineering ish projects but that's fine right

like unqiue

not in a bad way... hopefully right?

@pliant cobalt @wary forge ?

[pale dagger]

Why Columbia's ukrainian club is so dead😭

[pliant cobalt]

that should work you still built something

[chilly warren]

hmm ok

[autumn minnow]

i only lie when it’s expedient for the mental health of the applicants

[pale dagger]

Last post mid May

[pliant cobalt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mezqeIDNwaI

[autumn minnow]

sure. i’m picky and have no real qualifications

[chilly warren]

ok so ig ill probably do the maker portfolio tho but i was just debating it because the caademic research thing says science, engineering, or humanities research too

bruhhh

ts so confuzzling

[pliant cobalt]

you could always email them and ask

[chilly warren]

wtv imma do maker ig

i submitted the common app sayind id maker portfolio then i was like nah academic is fine, and i even drafted an email saying to update but imma j remove it

[near whale]

no i just want someone else to look over it

[near whale]

we WILL be classmates

[chilly warren]

ummm so i did for both but theyre not like published, one paper is like deent, the other is like kinda ahh

but not rly???

no journal pub

i submitted the engineering one for sts

more engineering one

[autumn minnow]

fact checked by real american patriots

true

[celest ocean]

Am I cooked if I barely started the supplementals

[pliant cobalt]

i would start that soon

[near whale]

[pliant cobalt]

i had to revise my supps twice which took a couple days of back and forth

but if you're already experienced with the writing then maybe it will take less

[wary forge]

tbh i feel like it’ll work either way? if it were me id probably submit it as a maker portfolio just bc it might make it seem more unique (i feel like a lot of ppl submit a research supp) but up to u

but maker portfolio also has a fee iirc ($5 or smt)

[chilly warren]

hmmmm okay i see, yeah i feel like it might work either way but yeah maker allows me to submit more material and ig in the end im a bme major... so yeah thank u sm!

[autumn minnow]

no i think @untold ore wrote them on the same day

[chilly warren]

yeahhh....

i mean i guess

maker is for

[pliant cobalt]

if you write on the same day either you were already cracked at writing or the rest of your application carried

[stuck fox]

yall seem cracked tho, what do u think helped carry ur app

[willow sparrow]

depends on ur work ethic lol

[celest ocean]

starts crying in the corner

[pliant cobalt]

this may not seem helpful but the AOs are most concerned about holistic fit so what got one person in may not be the same thing that would get you in

[willow sparrow]

im editing for the 3rd time rn and i STILL feel cooked af

[celest ocean]

barnard better accept me

💔

[chilly warren]

@wary forge if mine is like more isef oriented do u think it would like kind of stick out in a bad way compared to the other maker portfolios? like the more like mech e - mathy cs stuff?

[chilly warren]

me 4 nyu and northwestern...

[pliant cobalt]

nyu is only one supp

i think

their prompt is so weird

it sounds like they want me to blend my disagreement and community essays?

[wary forge]

idt im the best person to ask lol 😭 but ig it just depends on whether you want to emphasize the research process or the prototyping/engineering aspects of ur project more
and ultimately idt submitting it as a maker portfolio vs a research supp is gonna be the deciding factor in ur app

[willow sparrow]

my steak too juicy my lobster too buttery

[celest violet]

i applied biomed eng columbia

and submitted research

[celest violet]

i need to find the person who made it

they might need help

[chilly warren]

hmmm ok

[chilly warren]

ok lowk im realizing mine is more iriented to research comp requirements and so idkdkdkdkdk aaaa

[chilly warren]

if u dont mind me asking what was ur research?

on?

[autumn minnow]

luck

i think everybody that gets in gets lucky

[stuck fox]

but don't u still have to be competitive to a degree to be considered

[autumn minnow]

it’s an annoying answer and not a particularly helpful one, but i’ve never read my file nor been inside the committee so it’s tough to comment further

[autumn minnow]

yes i would agree with this, but i also think theres no real difference between me and many of the people who didn’t get in

i was far from the most qualified, cracked, academic, plus whatever other positive adjective people use to describe students nowadays, kid in my school

and i’m from the bay area too so trust me when i say there were people way better

[stuck fox]

ohh dang

[celest ocean]

bro is from california

[stuck fox]

maybe it was fit that helped? just theorizing

[celest ocean]

youtiao what was your second choice to go 😭

[celest violet]

it was on ioresorbable bioelectronics like neural interface (in a vague sense)

[autumn minnow]

definitely a factor they consider

so probably

[autumn minnow]

hmm wdym

[celest ocean]

like

was columbia your first choice

and did you have a second choice

[autumn minnow]

i was originally gonna go to upenn

[celest violet]

what made you change

[autumn minnow]

but new york is better than philadelphia

[celest violet]

i got deferred from penn ed 💔

hope i get

columbia

[autumn minnow]

i’m not really sure, i’m quite an indecisive person. @untold ore can tell you about how conflicted i was

[celest violet]

oh damn

[autumn minnow]

good they can’t lock you in now

[wary forge]

fs

[chilly warren]

hey i was wondering so for ur research did u technically make something?

i lowk dont have enoguh like photos of the buuld proecess

of my engineering projects

bc theyre tailored for a research comp ig

so

[celest violet]

not really i mean i did but it was more research

so i decided to submit research

[autumn minnow]

a columbia student currently attending can surely tell you 10 billion reasons why they’re the better school, but my rationale pre-attending was that i thought columbia had a better liberal arts education as opposed to a preprofessional one, although i’ve heard both are a little preprofessional. avoiding the finance bros lol as a philosophy major. with that, there’s also a lot more access to artistic experiences overall. and then i think the city experience is better, although i actually don’t like new york. there’s a few other reasons but those are the first that come to mind

[chilly warren]

what was ur research if u dont mine me asking

was it independent?

[celest violet]

i said above

[celest violet]

np

no

mentor

[chilly warren]

ohh ok i see

[celest violet]

ah ic

youtiao do you like youtiao

[autumn minnow]

yummy

[autumn minnow]

real footage of me doing my $0/hour job of “thinking”

[chilly warren]

do u think it'd be weird if i submitted a research poster for the maker thing

[autumn minnow]

do it

[celest ocean]

what if you start a podcast

[celest violet]

is it just one thing like does ur maker portfolio have other things aw

[celest violet]

yes it would be weird

[stuck fox]

wouldn't any degree from an ivy be Employable cause that's p good to just be able to graduate from an ivy esp nowadays

[chilly warren]

i have a video basically explaining my project not necessary the build itself.. idk

and like

a slideshow pres

[autumn minnow]

philosophy makes you a better person. not in the sense that you might become cooler or kinder or smarter, but that you as an entity may become more of a person- to study thought is to study oneself.

[chilly warren]

but that shoes like 3-4 pics of the actual thing

for each

[celest violet]

does it include hands-on stuff

built invented fabricated whatever

[chilly warren]

i mean ig i j made like an electrode for one (still made my own sensor), nanogenerator yes i did make it technically

but i dont have mnay pics of the build proocess

[autumn minnow]

funnily enough my friend from harvard worked as a waitress for two years before getting a job lol

[celest violet]

i think it can still be fine if you made something but it should not be very research heavy

[autumn minnow]

but yes, i think going to a “better” school gets you “better” job opportunities

not guaranteed but i’d def say the chance is higher. maybe someone has a statistic that can prove me wrong but that’s what i’ve been told

[chilly warren]

for 1 i barely have pics of the sensor like i have one of multiple working electrodes i used to optimize to get the final sensor, the nanognenerator i have slightly mor epics of the final thing... maybe i could submit the sensor to academic research ad the nanogenerator to maker.. potentially

ok lowk i might j do academic research

😭

[celest violet]

😭

[chilly warren]

actually idk

sigh

[celest violet]

i feel like you should do research

but thats just my opinion

[chilly warren]

i have more pics of data than the final thing but its engineering research

so ig academic

also i save $5 idk

[celest violet]

lmaoo

slideroom 🥀

[chilly warren]

yeahhh 🥀

but i did the projects like indepepndently

but thats fine right

bc my science research teacher advised me

[celest violet]

you need an advisor/mentor

oh

then its fine

did u ans the questions

on them

[chilly warren]

she didnt help w the project

she just like

supervised

[chilly warren]

yes but she literally j supervised

[celest violet]

hmm a mentor is supposed to do more but

its alright

i dont think it matters much

[willow sparrow]

a2welfare

[stuck fox]

yea and even if it somehow doesnt get one a job at all, (and they get substantial aid) the experience is still worth imo

[willow sparrow]

there’s hella career centers at ivies

ppl go around hiring lol

altho not for CS majors

💀 💀

[autumn minnow]

yeah but if you go into CS and you have a base level of appetite for risk you can become a startup bro

[willow sparrow]

see this is why i’m not a cs bro

i can’t do risk

but yeah that’s a fair point!

[autumn minnow]

real me neither

i considered it

still considering lowkey…

[willow sparrow]

philo and cs would be a crazy double major but idk if you can pull that off with the Core

[autumn minnow]

it’s such a good double tbh

i think multiple of my friends at mit do this

because it’s like two different sides of logic

math too but i’m not a math person

[near whale]

that's if you do analytic phil

i wanna do continental shi

[autumn minnow]

based

[drowsy gulch]

Good luck man

[drowsy gulch]

We’re going to Barnard together trust

[autumn minnow]

fact

[drowsy gulch]

I injured myself filming their video

If they don’t let me in I’m suing

But that won’t matter bc they will

[willow sparrow]

love your attitude

we should all be confident like this

[autumn minnow]

based and true

very real

[drowsy gulch]

We’re based…

Based in reality

[untold ore]

hello goat

[untold ore]

skull emoji

[untold ore]

maybe but i do think there was an element of authenticity and rawness that came out when i wrote them same day as opposed to supps that i agonized over and edited over and over again

not to say that you should write them last minute, far from it, but at least in my case it helped me actually write more authentically rather than what i felt like the schools wanted to hear

[untold ore]

great supps didnt get in, not so great supps got in

it is just a piece of the puzzle

[untold ore]

#1 reason is because you can room with me 👅

[drowsy gulch]

Yeah whoever else goes to Barnard can room with me

I’m super annoying so you might not want that

But whatever

I don’t smell bad and I’m fairly tidy, so it wouldn’t be too bad

[celest ocean]

“I don’t smell bad” 😭

[untold ore]

well its good to know

some are not as fortunate

[drowsy gulch]

I’ve heard it’s a common issue with roommates

And I’ve worked at a summer camp before, that was definitely an issue with some staff members

[untold ore]

febreeze them

[drowsy gulch]

Yeah

Some people are scared of sh*wers though lol

[untold ore]

apparently the columbia dorm water pressure is great

thanks nyc hard water

[drowsy gulch]

Ooh

Hope it’s good at Barnard too

Bc that’s where I’ll be going

Trust

[willow sparrow]

the columbia dorms look great

[drowsy gulch]

Yeah they do

[glad sentinel]

omg really?

just got a new why columbia!

[torn mulch]

where are the dorms anyways

my dad's freaked out about it bc when he's been there several times for conferences he just was never able to find the dorms. and he thinks that i'm going to have to find off campus housing

[autumn minnow]

i’m so ready

[ionic remnant]

some are within the gates, most are on streets adjacent to campus

they kinda just look like the other buildings

https://www.housing.columbia.edu/explore-residences

there's a map at the bottom if that helps

[short cradle]

their food looks wonderful

i’m very happy

[maiden iris]

For the research sup, did yall include anything else other than the abstract? e.g. authors, publication journal, etc, or is it literally just a blank page with an abstract

[clear blaze]

just submitted

[bitter parrot]

would any columbia students be open to reading my supps

I would heavily appreciate it

[glad sentinel]

i assume most students are on the streets and not within the gates?

[ionic remnant]

only freshman are within the gates p much

[meager bloom]

Could someone read my barnard essay pls!

[willow sparrow]

a poll most tragic

[simple ruin]

Lmao nobody goes to games except hoco

We are horrible

[willow sparrow]

My friend

my a2friends all rejected

[glad sentinel]

rd is for hot people

good job

[willow sparrow]

YESS TWIN

i feel like most ppl like me get in rd anyway

i odnt have strong hooks

[candid lynx]

If I have 2 research projects. 1 published and 1 in process. should i upload both abstracts to Columbia. the first one won a few awards, the 2nd is less accomplished. wouldn't wanna stuff my file

[tall spire]

For the supplemental asking “ what attracts you to your preferred areas of study at Columbia College?”

Should I just talk about what generally attracts me to my intended major or should I discuss how Columbia specifically is why I want to pursue this academic interest and Columbia-specific resources that make it the next step to understanding my intended major?

[glad sentinel]

both

why major + why that major at columbia

u can study ex. engineering anywhere and have a why

but what about columbia’s engineering is so unique u want only columbia’s engineering degree

[willow sparrow]

my steak too juicy my lobster too buttery 🥀

do the finished one

[simple ruin]

Winter break

Nobody is here tbh

[simple ruin]

Meh I have a 3.6

It's aight

[glad sentinel]

if i have nobel peace prize do u think i should submit? i want to go prize optional

[simple ruin]

All the hard classes r gonna be next yr during senior yr tho ggs

[simple ruin]

But yh nobody really goes times sq I've only passed through never spent time in it tbh

[clever tide]

whyd you leave the hard classes for senior year lol

[simple ruin]

Idk I took some random classes bc my friends were taking them

Didn't count towards my major

@simple ruin do u have any experience w the research supp

[simple ruin]

I did internships for 3 semesters outta 5 tho

[simple ruin]

Nah I submitted music portfolio

[clever tide]

damn

[candid lynx]

how does the timing work out for that

im trying to do one 2nd semester of hs

[simple ruin]

I just skip class

Try to schedule all on mw or Tues thurs

[simple ruin]

It's worth lowk if you get a job with free gym because the Columbia gym is ass

[candid lynx]

probably not possible for HS right

[candid lynx]

yeah i heard its old asf

[simple ruin]

You'd prob be best off doing smth part time or online

Otherwise just save it for during breaks

[wary forge]

as an nyc resident i have never been to the ball drop lmfao 😭

[candid lynx]

my hs actually gives seniors the entire may off to do interships

Thank u! I wasn’t sure bc other schools make it explicit and their question isn’t

[candid lynx]

i might have to lock that in

@simple ruin what industry ru in

[simple ruin]

😭

Just go to hiring events and be normal and I bet you'll get a nice offer

[candid lynx]

shi. gotta get in first

[torn mulch]

for the research supplement the projects that i worked on have been submitted to my undergrad journal and will be published sometime in january. they are all finished. can i still include their abstracts in the research supplement

[candid lynx]

like u dont have the link yet?

[torn mulch]

no i don't

[candid lynx]

ur good

im in the same situation

[torn mulch]

i have my research mentor who submitted a lor though so she can attest to what i did

[celest ocean]

I have not worked on these supplementals at all lmao

[torn mulch]

Girl 2 more days...!!!

[celest ocean]

i can't stop scrolling tiktok

😭

[candid lynx]

did she send the email or the LoR

[torn mulch]

wdym email

[torn mulch]

ohhh

does it matter the difference??

[candid lynx]

ur all good tho

[candid lynx]

can anyone take a look at my why columbi aessay

[fast parcel]

and for hoco everyone leaves by the middle

everyone just does it to dress up LOL

our football team had a really bad losing streak this year

i think we were 2-30 to dartmouth

[drowsy gulch]

You don’t need a game to do that! I try to do it every day lol

[fast parcel]

like everyone dresses up in columbia merch

[bronze flare]

any freshmen dorm recommendations?

ik it's pretty early but i like daydreaming about it

[fast parcel]

highkey all the dorms are pretty good

i heard carman and john jay are good

[bronze flare]

yeah.... i was thinking john jay might be my first choice, but i heard the bathrooms can get pretty bad

[wary forge]

i can’t decide if i want a double or single 😭

[bronze flare]

yeah i want time to myself but also to... yk have friends

[drowsy gulch]

What are the good Barnard dorms?

[wary forge]

yeahh I feel like having a roommate is part of the quintessential college experience but also idk if I’d end up hating not having privacy/my own space loll

[bronze flare]

EXACTLY

i think i'll just go with a single at furnald or jj for my first choice

[fast parcel]

sulz is known as the best cuz its the only one with ac

if you want a single tho hewitt is the best bet

[autumn minnow]

congrats

[autumn minnow]

sure

[autumn minnow]

real

[autumn minnow]

it’s both

[drowsy gulch]

Thanks for the info

Which were you in?

[autumn minnow]

fact

[autumn minnow]

this is real

[fast parcel]

sulz!

im in a double with a roommate ( who i met on a2c.....)

[autumn minnow]

roy lee took his crown

[autumn minnow]

me neither

[autumn minnow]

wait who

[drowsy gulch]

Oh nice

[rough radish]

One of the sperm racing guys was a regular on the unofficial A2C discord that existed before this one

[drowsy gulch]

Guys when I get in who wants to room with me lol

[tribal grail]

When do likely letters usually come out for RD does anyone know

[rough radish]

Dwai

[tribal grail]

also if we don’t get one that’s fine right like it doesn’t mean anything

[drowsy gulch]

Nothing means anything but a decision

[rough radish]

The chance of getting a likely is 5-10% within the 5% who get admitted

Which is so small

That you should not gaf

It’s almost like the hunger games

When katniss and peeta won the 74th edition and then the capitol said “what if we make you do it again with other people who also alr won”

[fast parcel]

@rough dawn

[simple ruin]

Lmao

Lowk we could probably walk on

Icl

[simple ruin]

I was in John jay I'm a big clean bathrooms guy but it was fine

[bronze flare]

ooh that's reassuring

how about furnald? is it really hard to make friends there?

[simple ruin]

Nah not if you talk to ur nsop group

[drowsy gulch]

Wait are the Barnard bathrooms clean

[simple ruin]

I got 2 really good friends that lived in furnald

[drowsy gulch]

This is important to know

[simple ruin]

Barnard dorms r pre nice, but idt ur guaranteed 4 years housing?

Freshman quad is nice tho

[simple ruin]

Honestly all the freshman dorms r pretty nice, prob gonna be better than your sophomore ones

[fast parcel]

the ones on my floor are usually

ive heard horror stories tho

like in our dorm group chat

[bronze flare]

that's crazy tho i thought that dorm quality was supposed to upgrade as you advanced???

[simple ruin]

Ehhh

It's bc it's lottery

Freshman aren't in the lottery

Soph you probably get at worst McBain which tbh isn't bad but everyone says it is, my best friend was my roommate and we were chilling

[drowsy gulch]

Well, ofc

[bronze flare]

ack thank you for that anyway

i'll try to enjoy freshmen dorms while they last

[fast parcel]

honestly all the columbia dorms are pretty good

a lot of people aroujnd me were hating on wein but its pretty good

you guys's dorms have such high security while we have no security 🤣

[simple ruin]

People just complain alot lol I'm a pretty picky guy when it comes to clean living spaces but I've been fine man

[simple ruin]

Oh yeah I heard about the guy that broke in

Or whatever

Yikes

Wien is nice bc u can get mail easy

[fast parcel]

are you a '28

[simple ruin]

'27

😐

[fast parcel]

ah tough freshman spring i imagine

[simple ruin]

Mm was interesting

I just stay away from ts

Was working anyways

Think I've spent more time off than on campus

[drowsy gulch]

Ohhh that’s when all the protests and stuff were happening, right?

[fast parcel]

yeah it was the height of all of it

[glossy cedar]

did anyone submit their LOCI yet

i lowk only have like 4 rd essays left so i jsut wanna do those before

[fast parcel]

when did eds come out

for locis you generally want to wait a bit

[glossy cedar]

december 16 i think

[fast parcel]

to show the AOs you really thought your decision through

hmmmm

[near whale]

send locis like mid jan i think

def do it after rd deadlines

[glossy cedar]

im thinking i wait till jan 7 bc i want to see if i got regeneron top 300 first

[glossy cedar]

yea for sure

[autumn minnow]

yes

[autumn minnow]

mid jan to feb

[autumn minnow]

and to give ample time for any big updates

[autumn minnow]

yeah i wrote mine right after i finished RD but i waited to submit

[wary forge]

is it still easy (ish) to get a single sophomore year?

[simple ruin]

50/50 Id say

You just need a highish number

Doubles aren't that bad tho

[glossy cedar]

its due on the 16th so ill prob submit some time between the 7th and the 12th

[bronze flare]

i am just so hyped for the dorm decor

but i feel like that would just be hard in a double

[autumn minnow]

the half and half with different aesthetics is fun

[simple ruin]
