Who at CC is applying to Columbia? - Page 2

Applying as international transfer.
First choice.
I am however applying to one other Ivy (Yale).
I would still pick Columbia if accepted to both.
Current phase: research and prep since my application limit is March.

Will be applying to Columbia RD. Probably my second choice behind Penn (Wharton), although the space between 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 for me is very small. Really just trying to get into the best school I can that will also give the best financial aid package. Maybe Columbia will be it. Wouldn't be a bad option.

so, it seems like a lot of people on this thread are applying early, and it is a stretch for them. My question is, since about 1700 applied last year ED, how many do you guys think really had no chance and thought applying ED would get them in. Also, how many do u guys think were just amzing all around and would have gotten in if they applied RD.
P.S. like everyone else here, i am applying early, but i dont think it is too much of a stretch.

I dont know. If they are using their early decision, I would hope it was at a school to which at least they had some small chance of getting into. Otherwise, they should use their ED somewhere else.

ED - i think i'm a pretty solid candidate
(also applying EA to U of Chicago)

I'm torn between Columbia College ED & Yale SCEA (legacy).

Out of everyone who plans on applying Early Decision, I was wondering how many of you have already submitted Part I and Part II of the application online? Does it matter at all whether you submit your application closer to the deadline or way earlier?

Thanks in advance if you have any thoughts...

From what I understand, it's recommended to get Part I in as soon as possible (you have a higher chance of getting an interview, I believe), but no preference is given if you submit your application before the deadline. I'm pretty sure that's true at the vast majority of schools -- at least all the ones I've visited/looked into.

Early Decision Columbia College all the way! I submitted my pt.1 in August. I'm going insane doing the essays, but I hope I'll get in!

Oddly, like the rest of the EDers to Columbia I'm also doing EA to UChicago. Is everyone doing that because they were tied on US News or are the applicants to Columbia awesome enough to realize the greatness of Chicago as well? Interesting to ponder...
