<p>UGH wait listed… does anyone know how short this “short waiting list” is?!</p>
<p>Probably not short at all. There are six of us just on this forum and probably a hell of a lot more not. It’s a nice way of saying “sorry, you looked decent, but others were better”.</p>
<p>Boo… yeah and it’s probably going to be like 1 or 2 people getting off it if any. This sucks.</p>
<p>Nah judging by last years, probably none.</p>
<p>Did anyone receive their packages as yet?</p>

<p>When I apply for Fu, I randomly choose a major. When I attend columbia next semester,
am I be assigned to the major I choose on application part 1? Thanks everybody!</p>
<p>i’m actually wondering about that too</p>
<p>I think you should email the dean. I had a few questions and he immediately replied.
Even though it was like a Friday night there. </p>
<p>Do you guys have any idea where you want to live?</p>
<p>accepted!
I think my financial aid will not be that great thou…</p>
<p>cost of attending is too much</p>
<p>Accepted! Look at my other posts if you want to see stats.</p>
<p>I can’t decide if I want to transfer, it seems like such a hard thing to do. I LOVE COLUMBIA THOUGH and it was my first choice during the first go-round. Could other girls who are thinking of transferring to Columbia private message me please? I want to see who the potential people for rooming would be.</p>
<p>Actually I’ll just post them here because I remember how annoying it was when I couldn’t find people’s when I was doing my transfer apps haha.</p>

<p>hey Jade,</p>
<p>would you mind sharing which school you got into for each? and what major?</p>
<p>i.e. Columbia College? Penn CAS?</p>
<p>Thanks! :D</p>
<p>accepted and will probably attend.</p>
<p>Do we have a fb-group? </p>
<p>Most other colleges have one :/</p>
<p>I was waitlisted too.</p>
<p>Is there anything we can do to add to our application? The decision didn’t say anything about writing a letter or anything like that.</p>
<p>Did any of the acceptees get a letter [not the acceptance package] from the director of transfer admissions? It basically praises you…</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>Yup, I did too.</p>
<p>I need to decide whether I will go to brown or penn!! can anyone help me PLEASE??</p>
<p>Transferring from: Swarthmore College
Accepted: Columbia, Brown, Wesleyan, UPenn
Possible majors: History, Sociology</p>
<p>Brown Pros: I love the campus, I want a “hippie” and liberal school
Brown Cons: I want to get into a good grad school, not academic enough</p>
<p>Columbia Pros: Great reputation, known for being super intellectual
Columbia Cons: I want a college town (I live in ny also), too many preppies?</p>
<p>I only have a week to decide so please let me know your opinions!!! I want to know if my stereotyping is totally off and which school has better departments for my majors.</p>
<p>** I actually don’t care if there’s a core or not. I’m more concerned about the departments and the types of people at the schools
lilygee is online now</p>
<p>guys…is it better to transfer after a year or after 2 years?</p>
<p>my grades in HS are awful. definitely no the best/stellar applicant…</p>
<p>the only hook i have is being an URM…</p>
<p>i’ll be back w/ more qs later.</p>
<p>lilygee-I’d go to Columbia. I for one thought Columbia’s campus is pretty neat and beautiful. Sure it might be small, but I think its a really nice place lol. IT’S COLUMBIA!</p>
<p>I envy you, I wish I could be stuck between choosing Brown vs Columbia…</p>
