There’s literally no point in stressing. The current activity is not predicting low or high waitlist movement and there’s still a lot of time

day 12 of begging ucla and cal to accept me

silk scroll
#

Wait so how is this similar to waitlist calls

#

Would it just be like tracking who posted what on reddit

formal cosmos
#

not even

#

4-5%

#

majority of the transfers to columbia are from their 3+2 program

#

they only took 125 last year i think

#

rest were 3+2 or GS

#

yup this is true id say

#

ill say penn is easier tho

#

but compared to yale dartmouth or harvard for example

#

it is easier

#

no it isnt

hollow adder
#

im not getting into the nuance lol

#

u can if u want

formal cosmos
#

i mean idk if its 10%

#

im not sure where ur getting the data from

#

idk if they officially released it

formal cosmos
#

im not explaining waht the actual rate is

#

but the 10% includes 3+2 and a lot of other stuff that wont apply to 90% of ppl

#

At Columbia College and Columbia Engineering, we’re intentional in our efforts to welcome over 125 transfer students each year, from a range of two- and four-year institutions, and we value the unique and diverse perspectives they bring to our community.

#

the 3+2 programs are thnigs offered by columbia where if u go to a specific smaller liberal arts college that they have a partenrship with u can graduate at columbia

hollow adder
#

but out of everyone who submits an application to transfer

#

including 3+2

#

it hovers around 10%

formal cosmos
#

i mean

#

im p sure u just went on google and searched that up

#

theres nth officially online

hollow adder
formal cosmos
#

columbia's own website just says fewer than 10%

hollow adder
#

go look at the cds from the past few years

#

and calculate accepted/total applicants

formal cosmos
#

i see

#

id be inteersted to know the non 3+2 acceptance rate

#

im assuming its <5% ik a lot of ppl this year who tried going to both penn and columbia

#

but ended up only getting into penn

#

for transfers this year

#

at least columbia is more transfer friendly than other colleges

I’ve had a consulting company act like they’re “just curious” how I get decision calendar data and shortly after responding I see them knocking off my exact method

#

They’re not slick and they don’t care to be slick because they know you can’t do anything abt it

So are they just gonna steal my thing

#

im going to guess around 300ish ppl apply every year as a 3+2 transfer

#

they take over a 100-150 ever year

#

the non 3+2 admits are around 125-150 which is what's on their website as well

#

125/2700

#

its realistically like a 4-5% chance which still isnt bad easier than RD tho

velvet merlin
#

So that’s like 1,400

formal cosmos
#

im not sure abt the waitlist

#

im just talking abt getting in before wl

#

also this is based off the 2023 data from CDS

velvet merlin
#

This year it’s highly unlikely I’m getting off

formal cosmos
#

r u a transfer?

velvet merlin
#

Cuz they sent an email saying the class is full

#

No undergrad

formal cosmos
#

one of my friends is on the waitlist but lowk doesnt use any social media

#

he was hoping to get off

velvet merlin

#

when was it sent

velvet merlin

#

i was takling to him a few days ago and our counselor called saying they wanted to verify stuff

velvet merlin
#

Or just waitlisted

formal cosmos
velvet merlin
#

Same here applied Ed too?

formal cosmos
#

yea i think that may give a slight boost

#

but tbh i think any1 on the waitlist would attend

#

do u have the email btw?

velvet merlin
#

So I think me and him r basically competing

formal cosmos
#

i asked him rn but hes prob sleeping

velvet merlin
formal cosmos
#

thats what i heard from a reliable source too

#

which is why they have diff days for wl's

#

in theory u might be competing with sm1 in ur batch

velvet merlin
#

Yeah

#

I mean he could be similar to me

#

btw I’ll send the email in dms

formal cosmos
#

ok

#

i mean i was lurking reddit

#

i didnt see this anywhere so

#

thats why im a bit confused

velvet merlin
#

Everyone got a soft rejection

formal cosmos

yea I saw the messages its too funny lol

#

ironically gt cs was my top choice before cmu released

brittle crystal
#

makes sense

#

idt any school beats gt in-state in terms of sticker price ROI lol

#

cmu real nice tho I have a friend there

#

its rlly cutthroat but that also makes hella opportunities ig

#

bro she's in tepper right

#

I thought that'd be light but apparently its all p hard

#

quant focused or smth

#

CS prolly has no time to shower there

tepper building is cool

That was funny

#

your response being unnecessarily rude says a lot already because all i did was ask what you meant

#

sparkie kinda answered for me though

clear lynx
#

You just sent a gif

#

If anything you were being rude to me

#

Actually… forget what I said. Sorry if I made a statement that seemed to be rude.

but they did it for fun

#

also honestly i wouldnt even pay 100k for cmu

#

scs ik is good but i personally feel like is overhyped

#

i honestly think GT is better for opportunities and networking past 5 years

#

maybe cmu scs was better before but i think has fallen off

#

i know a lot of ppl who are at gt cs and cmu scs and the ppl at gt simply have way better internships (ppl from same hs graduating class and skills)

twilit marsh
#

reading this as sum1 who gave up gt cs commit after getting off cmu cs waitlist:

#

reading this as someone who gave up gt cs admit after cmu cs admit

#

Why r we fighting

#

There’s no reason to

knotty sentinel
#

it’s been a while since the fight 😭

hushed apex
formal cosmos
#

going to the college can make it easier to get opportunities but if u dont take advatnage it wont matter

#

and in theory not every1 will have a net benefit of going (assuming they had high expectations salary wise)

#

im not saying the end goal of going to a good college is making more money and theres a reason top colleges (aside from schools stem heavy like mit) like ivies avg grad salary isnt that much higher than ur avg school

#

like ik theres a lot of issues in the cs market but honestly if ur good at coding and p smart u wont have that much of an issue getting a good job

#

id say most ppl arent that skilled who enter the cs job market and that's the main reason they are having problems finding one

#

from older friends i know who are going to top colleges the ones who were genuinly cracked and good at cs easily got top internships and the ones who werent or bsd are still having issues (all going to ivies)

sweet pulsar
#

I know a person who isn’t the best at cs/problem solving whatever but she is so good at talking to people

#

she is working @ big quant

#

ucla waitlist is surprisingly moving over the weekend?

#

anyway

#

day 13 of begging cal and ucla to accept me

twilit marsh
#

cmu im taking all ur resources

#

I think the best part of CMU is the research

#

Pu to the talks 😭 idk why there's like 2 or 3 undergrads there only usually

formal cosmos
#

there are so many more metrics involved then simply connecting with ppl on linkedin and talking to past alumini

#

im not gonna get into it here but think like investment banking where height plays a huge role for guys for example and subconciously impacts how ur interview goes

#

unlike college admissions in the job market top roles that so many ppl aspire to get rely heavily on skill. connections matter too but the top skilled ppl will be getting those jobs regardless

#

there's a reason the top quant firms are going to hire an IMO medalist if they choose to go down that path

#

it's the best of the best and they know it and will even take the risk of just offering them a summer internship w/o an interview

formal cosmos
#

u can work as the hiring manager at a quant firm and not be skilled that still counts as working at a quant firm but isnt necessarily what most ppl want (trader/dev/researcher)

hollow adder
#

why do u immediately assume she isn’t working as one of those

#

like 😭

formal cosmos
#

im not OP just said theyre not skilled

hollow adder
#

that doesn’t make them unqualified

formal cosmos
#

i asked what role

#

nowhere did i say shes at that role

hollow adder
#

u kinda gave an example and lead with “well people can work at quant without having these roles”

formal cosmos
#

because it's true

hollow adder
#

implying it

formal cosmos
#

working as a hiring manager is a good job

#

ur now implying that it's not a good job

#

i literally got into cmu scs

#

u can cope all u want if u cant handle any criticism then its laughable

#

i literaly know ppl who are at cmu scs taking classes

#

it's a good school but ppl there overhype it way too much

#

if u get into cornell for example i would pick it over cmu

#

that's just my personal take tho

sturdy violet
sturdy violet
#

lol harvard mfs are the most untrustworthy people in the world

formal cosmos
#

nope

#

why are u calling ppl losers?

sturdy violet
#

prestige obsessed

formal cosmos
#

im not hating on cmu but im just saying that its overhyped

#

im not prestige obssesed

#

if prices are teh same id go to cornell over cmu

sturdy violet
#

except abba sorry abba

formal cosmos
#

simply because there is more wealth there and better chance of connecting

u only come here to start arguments

formal cosmos
sturdy violet
#

no one wants to see ur acceptance lil bro

hollow adder
#

the point is nobody cares that u got into harvard or whatever ur doing, but ur constantly in this chat shitting on schools 24/7 😭😭

formal cosmos
#

i never shamed anyone bro

formal cosmos
#

can u find the mssg where i did? im confused lol

#

i was just saying why i thought it was better i have a lot of friends who are a few years above who shared their experiences

sturdy violet
#

just because u supposedly got into "harvard" doesnt mean ur all of a sudden an expert

formal cosmos
#

i never said i was

sturdy violet
#

get back on the ground twin

formal cosmos
#

again ur getting aggressive for no reason

#

ur just being hostile lol

#

if u cant accept any criticism then u need to fix that

#

or u wont grow as a person

#

im not even trying to act like my opinion is right i was jsut stating what i think

sturdy violet
#

ur not the voice of reason bro

#

leave it to your elders

ok lets just stop

no point entertaining this

and honestly it does matter he got into harvard

means hes probably a lot more competent

to have an opinion

on these things

yeah he got into harvard...... ok..... sure

hollow adder

this is likely his alt acct anyway.

hollow adder
#

getting into a school does not make one’s opinions superior

raw fossil
#

💀

#

any cmu scs admit would likely be far better informed of cs unis for example compared to someone who only got into uc merced

#

most of what he was stating werent even opinons, but facts like when he said "if ur choosing where to attend based on the speaker then ur delusional"

brittle crystal
#

Whats going on

raw fossil
#

abba goin thru dunning kruger

hollow adder
#

im not even gonna argue anymore

brittle crystal
#

Tbf the whole prestige argument goes to personal preference at some point right

prime spire
#

somebodyoncetoldme should just admit abba is right b/c abba will go to harvard💀

raw fossil
#

thats not my point though

#

my critique is mainly just on abbas absolutism

hollow adder
#

i dont think im being absolute in what i say, i js said that i think its stupid to take a college someone was accepted into and attribute that to the validity of their opinion

raw fossil
#

how we gonna make an absolute statement and then say we dont think were being absolute though

faint stag
#

i just wanna say

#

i hate you

hollow adder
#

someone going to uc merced doesn’t make them less informed of cs unis. it creates a rigid scenario where if someone doesn’t go to a “prestigious” school, they automatically are less informed. it operates in a universe where u assume the only factor that matters for the individual is the name behind them

nova violet

There was nothing absolute in her previous statement much lmao, idk what were grasping at here

#

And it’s like already wrapping up

red raft
#

I’m ngl JHU waitlist is prob impossible since I bet their yield is rly high bc of the new financial aid policy

glacial glen
#

There will be some acceptances prolly just very minimal

split flume

#

Why tf was last year so high

hollow adder
#

duke, columbia, jhu, brown

#

some of the biggest

red raft
#

Was it bc of fed funding cuts

#

And the deal with intls so they admitted alot off wl

hollow adder
#

probably lots of factors tbf

glacial glen

Ppl maybe had more options for schools too maybe

im sorry loe

I found this

Wait there’s another one I found

#

Mind you this guy didn’t go to Stanford

#

He’s also not the same as the guy above him so it’s not a school rivalry thing

#

He went to ucsb

#

So how did he know this…

#

Also he would’ve been a hs senior at the time that post was made

ask him if he went to uc hicago

oh no guys i realized i messed up

#

i was using this format chloe posted for my loci and i thought the stuff she put in quotes was something we could actually use

#

i just realized i accidentally told my colleges i negotiated a peace treaty between the US

#

will this ruin my chances of admission and should i send a clarification email and explain what happened

Oh Columbia, crowned in ivy blue,
I refresh my portal thinking of you.
Each sunrise brings a cautious spark,
A whispered hope against the dark.

Your gates stand tall on Morningside stone,
Yet here I wait, unread, unknown.
I dream in libraries, lit at night,
In Core discussions burning bright.

I’d trade whole summers just to hear
One tiny “yes” ring crystal clear.
But silence drifts through email halls,
No movement comes, no office calls.

So hear this plea from one who waits,
Somewhere beyond your iron gates:
Please stir the list, let futures bloom,
Release us from this waiting room.

For every hour my hopes renew—
Dear Columbia, I wish to choose you.

how much do waitlists move in june typically

I called JHU today and I think the wl is cooked because the girl told me that we don’t know when we are going to release decisions since it depends on the other students

#

I think she was referring to the kids already committed to JHU

#

I feel like they give conflicting information every time someone calls 😔

But the person told okegg they’re preparing to make decisions in the next few weeks

itll be a miracle

knotty sentinel

it’s likely that at least one person gets off but the likelihood of that person being u is very low

#

Movement has been pretty slow is there hope for a lot in June or is summer movement super minimal

#

I’m debating whether it’s worth sending an app update rn

hollow adder
velvet merlin

#

Especially cause they seem to take people off early June if they in fact are

#

Not trying to raise hope cause it's still very unlikely, but looking at prior years overall movement does not seem as cooked as the silence makes it appear

#

Guys I need to ask a serious question

#

Amherst has not activated its waitlist yet, and since it is already the weekend, they usually close it by now, which means it will likely happen next week. Are they waiting this long because they cannot admit anyone from the waitlist, or do they drop all waitlist acceptances and rejections on a single day?

glossy granite
# velvet mesa Reload?

it didnt let me resend the msgs thats why i sent the ss….cuz im seeing if anyone has an answer to the question i asked in the ss

Should I just give up on Cornell

#

I don’t even really need it

#

Anymore at least

rotund orchid
#

Does no response from Cornell CAS by now probably mean no transfer option

#

Since they just gave a ton of people transfer option

#

that'd be really evil... if they know they're done just deny us

rotund orchid
#

perhaps someone should call

clear lynx
#

I just don’t know if a ton of people got it

it seems like a ton did

Saw 3-5 on teddy

so i wonder if the remaining ones are queued for rejection

Reddit

rotund orchid
rotund orchid
# clear lynx Maybe

this wouldn't make total sense though, because would that mean they just gave their less-preferred choices the transfer options? (if so, then the lowest outcome they're giving anyone is transfer option, which isn't usual)

clear lynx
#

But that doesn’t really make sense

clear lynx
#

they basically said they aren't taking anyone aynmore

#

"clear picture of who's enrolling"

rotund orchid
#

alright ig the rest of us are just queued for rejection then lol

#

hopefully they pull off the bandaid soon and not leave us hanging

clear lynx
#

still possible i was like

#

on the edge of getting off or something and they will send rejections and acceptances later

#

theres no point in keeping dozens of threads open when most are barely getting messages post commitment day and those of you who are going to college this fall can access an entirely separate set of channels that are calmer than general chat and aimed at college students if you verify

#

the megathreads take a bunch of coordination to moderate so we need an off season to not burn out as a mod team which is also why you're offered that easier to moderate college student space to go to once theyve closed and you can use it even before you've fully entered college

#

like i have to run multiple spreadsheets and onboard temp staff solely to handle this channel

if u get in then yay tho
