Columbia University Science Honors Program ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

<p>I am assuming you are planning to apply to at least some of the Ivy League schools? Getting into SHP and all?</p>

<p>yeah</p>

<p>yes, though i will mostly not be looking at HYP, except maybe princeton because new jersey</p>

<p>Ah yeah…I have to start doing research on CC about like different schools. I don’t know which one to go ED to or if go ED at all.</p>

<p>yeah me too. i’m in the same situation as you haha</p>

<p>Hey guys, do you know when we should receive our list of courses? I haven’t got mine yet…</p>

<p>Yeah, I started to get worried about not receiving a course list, so I checked the Columbia SHP website. On its announcements page, it stated that “Course descriptions and course selection forms will be sent
to all members of the SHP at the beginning of September.” Considering that SHP starts on the second week of September, they are really cutting it close.</p>

<p>How seriously is attendance taken at SHP? I was accepted but I am nervous that I may exceed the 2 permitted absences by 1 or 2 due to school and extra curricular obligations.</p>

<p>you have 4 absences per semester. I’m already missing 3 because of standardized tests and I’ll probably miss another one because of a track meet. As long as you dont go over the 4 absences i’m sure you’ll be fine</p>

<p>okay thanks @SleeplessKid‌ i think the letter said august, so thats why i was worried…</p>

<p>Did anyone gotten their course description yet? </p>

<p>@Anything123‌ I haven’t. As SleeplessKidd said above, we’re supposed to get them in early September</p>

<p>Ok. Thanks</p>

<p>The fall schedule is posted on the website.</p>

<p>Anyone know how they treat latenesses? Does it count as an absent?</p>

<p>GUYS! SHP SCHEDULE AND COURSE LIST ARE NOW OUT! We have received emails instructing us to enroll in in courses no longer than September 8th. See you all there.</p>

<p>How do you know if you have been kicked out? Also, I haven’t received the email or the courses thing in the mail…</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the SHP helps with Columbia Admission? What if i apply ED</p>

<p>I heard that it can help, but I don’t know- it might help alot, or be no more relevant than doing a summer program at the college you hope to attend.</p>

<p>The university holds a info session for SHP students. They say it does help, but is in no way a guarantee. Its more that you know the school very well since you’ve taken classes there and can write about it</p>
