I already applied ED to columbia.
Was anyone else here part of the SEAS Multicultural Recruitment program where Columbia flew us out to see the school?
I really want to talk to people from that program.
Also, do you think that will help us get in?
I'm applying Regular Decision- I thought long and hard about ED, but comparing aid packages and merit scholarships is very important for me, what with my financial situation. It's a definite reach school for me, but it's certainly not impossible for me to get in.
Oh for god's sake. Despite what people keep claiming, admissions is not a race game! URM status can be a factor yes, but you being asian does not keep you out of the ivy.
I'm applying. (RD because if I can't afford my EFC, Michigan it is) But regardless, totally in love with Columbia. Never visited, wish had extra money to take a trip to NYC. Hopefully, I will get better times for track and get recruited (unlikely, but you never know with my 6 day/wk practices) and that in addition to URM (Black) and geographical (Michigan) may be enough to give me a chance.
