OFFICIAL Early Decision Applicants Thread (Columbia Class of 2014)

srrinath · 09-18-2009, 09:06 PM

I've noticed that we have quite a few ED applicants here on CC so if you're applying Early Decision for Columbia's Class of 2014, come over and introduce yourself.

I'll start:

I'm an international applicant from Singapore, applying to the College to pursue interests in economics, literature and creative writing.

Sent in my Part 1 quite a while ago, and am spending time fine-tuning my Part 2. Planning to send in a creative writing supplement.

We need a thread like this, thanks srrinath!

I'm a half-Japanese-half-white girl from Southern California. I guess you could call me an introverted drama geek. I realize I'm aiming high when I say I want to become an actress, but hey, if it all goes down the drain, at least I'll have my *flawless* Core education.

I'm an ED applicant from Singapore. Applying to SEAS for materials science/applied physics/applied math. Sent in Part 1 in early September. Interviewer has contacted me to schedule an interview next week!

Good luck to all prospective Columbians!

For the interview, does some random e-mail address show up in your inbox with a subject of Columbia Interview or something? Either I havn't been contacted yet, or the e-mail is in my junk mail. I sent in Part 1 early September.

kthanksbye · 10-01-2009, 07:58 AM

^ That's what I received. The email address was the interviewer's office address, and the email was titled "Columbia University Interview".

I am also from the great land of Singapore, applying ED for CC. Submitted Part I on the day it came out, August 5th. No interview yet.

I guess I am on the other extreme huh?

ED to CC! White girl from Jersey. Sounds so uninteresting compared to all of you

No interview yet, I'm so surprised that a lot of you have already had yours! I hope I have one soon. Good luck to all

MLELS · 10-02-2009, 06:33 PM

Phew, not everyone has been contacted about an interview yet. I thought it was just me!

leah123 · 10-02-2009, 07:10 PM

MLELS, I submitted part one of my app about two weeks ago, and still haven't been contacted, but I guess it hasn't been that long all things considered. I'll let you know when/if I do!

MLELS · 10-02-2009, 08:11 PM

Sounds good. Its been about a month for me, and it's not like I live out in the boondocks or anything, so I hope I get one eventually.

It's unlikely that it's in your junk. Your interview assignment is not a random computer generated mail. In my case I got a handwritten (well, figuratively speaking) email from my interviewer with the title "Your Columbia Interview". I submitted Part 1 at the start of Sep.

Please note though, not everyone gets an interview and likewise, not having one will not disadvantage your app.

MLELS · 10-02-2009, 08:35 PM

I know, but I want one nonetheless. How'd it go for you?
