Columbia Class of 2020 ED Applicant Thread

@soph1112 Yes! I’m sure you will figure it out. (Again) I am going through the same thing because my back ground and strengths are definitely in mathematics and science, so I was thinking engineering. But I also have a strong passion for political science and economics, and I was scared of confinement if I applyed to the engineering school. So I just decided to pick Financial Economics for my application.

@graceann @greysanatomy3113 that sounds amazing!

@soph1112 I have a friend who’s applying to Columbia and UChicago (I applied early for both, he’ll do RD) but I won’t really mind if I get in and he doesn’t since we’re in different applicant pools… and also because we’re not super close, lmao. But I would so so super jealous if he got in and I didn’t.

@alpha525 I don’t think it really matter if they download it. Common app won’t send it unless it’s complete. So if they recieved it they know it’s signed.

@Jseesyou2 English and Hispanic/Iberian Studies. I want to go into journalism, most likely with some sort of international aspect since I love foreign languages and cultures.

I feel like I’m one of the only people on this thread with a language-based major, which could either be good or bad, haha.

I did pure statistics major

ehh kind of similar my friend applied ed to Barnard but I feel like since the chances r higher she opted for that but idk is it wrong I feel kind of annoyed she just did it in the span of a few weeks when I’ve loved Columbia forever like i think to her it’s an “easier” way to go to Columbia…idk man I feel like the nervousness is making me crazy and mean bc if she gets in and I don’t I will no doubt be jealous for some time

That is interesting, I wonder if they actually take into account majors in their admissions decisions @gacommunist
I like statistics as well! UGH, but I’m not stressing about my major now, I’m worried about getting in first, haha. :frowning:

I applied Human Rights.

@969028 I feel ya I talked about how much I loved Columbia for so long and I think a lot of my friends started to fall in love with Columbia bc of my descriptions and then they applied too :frowning:

Everyone stop commenting pls :frowning: I should be studying for my final but I’m reading this instead

@graceann omg ikr it’s annoying honestly I feel like a protective mother and Columbia is my baby but I am not entitled lmao bc I’m not even accepted

@gacommunist I applied for linguistics and French language + culture! that’ll probably end up changing, though…

I know! @graceann One of my friends asked me if they should apply Early to Columbia instead of Brown. I was stunned because he loves Brown!

Sorry @omgbanana
I should be studying too, I have a section test tomorrow, but I just can’t stop.

Also, isn’t it crazy that our fates (most likely) have already been set? But oh well, it’s not the end of it all.

@969028 That is literally ME!

@Jseesyou2 omg hahahahahahahah you guys are the only ones I’ll allow to be as obsessed with Columbia bc we’re OG fans

It’s weird that our fates are already decided and we don’t know what they are. That whole concept is weird. Kinda seems like it needs some weird philosophy lesson not gonna lie LOL

@Ovni12 That sounds really cool! I’m pretty set on mine, even though not everyone in my family is 100% on board, I’m pretty stubborn so I don’t think I’ll change majors haha. But anything can happen.

@omgbanana haha trust me we’re all too nervous to stop commenting

I have almost no knowledge of quantum mechanics, but our admissions decisions are a perfect example of Schrödinger’s cat lol.
