Bumping just for some more insight. I recently learned Columbia admits exactly one student from my school each year during RD (consistent over the last 10 years worth of admissions).
I’m interested to see how this plays out because admissions contacted school about me only BUT one of my peers has legacy at Columbia.
Does legacy weigh in a lot at Columbia? He’s a decent candidate, not that great. 1300s SAT, around 3.7-.8 GPA UW.
I know this is all of speculation and not much substance, sorry
