Okay, sorry if I was snarky before. I was a legacy and a faculty brat as well at another Ivy and I certainly did know a little more about the school than others starting off. Enough to advise others, I won’t presume to say.

All I can say is that when you mentioned that you had a C and a few B’s on your transcript, you probably should have also mentioned that you are a double legacy and the son/daughter of two faculty members. It is certainly not the norm for Columbia to accept students with less than stellar grades who are not hooked in some way.

Good luck to you!
