@AcademiaSavvy wait literally same i have 9 apps due in two weeks too hahaha good luck :’))
Hey guys, I applied RD about 5-6 days ago but no confirmation of receipt email from Columbia yet…how long did it take for you all to get yours? (If you remember!!)
Hi! Does anyone know if there’s a groupme or something set up yet? I’m in the Facebook group but no one from 2022 has introduced themselves yet so I’m thinking that we’re all just shy to be the first one to post (like me lol)
@bigchoices2018 for me, it was about 5ish days! the admission office is probably super busy with just releasing ED decisions, so I would give it a few more days to get one. good luck
@savinglives Thanks so much!
im still looking for a way to order your official letter from columbia 
@1984ad I might be wrong but I don’t think we need to order an official letter. They posted on Instagram that they’re already mailing out envelopes to admitted students.
i don’t think there’s a groupme yet, i was just trying to figure that out!! also i really hope someone posts because i don’t want to be the first either haha
I know Cornell has a groupme already… do admissions officers make them or students (if anyone knows)?
@asoiafnerd you’re right, there wasn’t a way to order one. i swore i remember them talking about their commitment to the environment and how they would only mail it if you wanted it. doesnt matter either way –– i got mine in the mail today!
I went to Barnard before Columbia was Coed. I
petitioned to take the Core courses at Columbia because I firmly believe in its philosophy. I’m sure times have changed but Barnard really over-did the need to view everything through the lens of women’s empowerment. Today I think it’s great that women can apply to Barnard and Columbia because both schools are terrific. I seriously disagree that it’s so much easier for Barnard students to get research opportunities or great advisors and so forth (or even admission to 3000 level courses) than it is for Columbia undergrads. CC may not be as small as Barnard but it’s still a small-ish liberal arts college within Columbia University. The Core Curriculum is definitely not for those who want an easy-breezy experience but it is an opportunity of a lifetime. What makes Columbia so terrific is it does not consider itself as a career launching pad but as an opportunity for tremendous intellectual opportunities and growth. Penn, for example, is a school that has the opposite philosophy…at least that’s my take on it. Great thinkers can graduate and then go on to careers via any type of graduate training they choose.
My son is applying. He attends one of the most rigorous small prep schools in the country where he’s reading Tacitus in Latin (graduate course) and taking Organic Chemistry (the same one the premed students take). Stats: 4.03 unweighted GPA (not including countless honors courses and seven AP courses). He scored 1590 on SAT; 800 on all four subject SATs (which most competitive colleges know really indicate nothing nowadays: they are simply not especially challenging), He earned 5 on all seven AP ranging from both of the Calculus exams, French, Chemistry, Physics to both English APs. He worked in a research lab at Columbia all summer (12 weeks) and has strong extracurriculars. Nevertheless, he hadn’t won any national prizes like AIME or top STEM prizes. But with a 5% acceptance rate getting accepted is still a reach for just about anybody. I guess it’s regrettable that he didn’t take more courses outside of school…Stanford offers University level on line math and physics courses to HS riding seniors, e.g.
this is so late but ACCEPTED!
@5toryt3ll3r Congrats!! Did it come after an interview? Just wandering…
