| I'd just like to thank everyone who posted, you all were so much help. I am fairly positive now that I will be applying to Columbia ED. I really did love everything about it and the more I hear about the social paradigm there, the more I think it sounds like me (i.e. smaller groups doing more, etc.). The only variable left is whether I would be hurt enough by sub-par SAT II scores despite my 34 ACT enough that I would have a better shot at a 3rd choice school, 2nd choice also requiring subject tests. Yale has an 8% lower admit rate, but does not require subject tests, so I need to figure out which way I would have a better shot at getting in somewhere that I would really like. In an ideal world my next round of subject tests will make this question irrelevant and Columbia will be a good bet; if not, we'll have to see. |
