Is your dad an ‘officer’ of Columbia? There are some teaching positions which are not considered officers. The second thing to keep in mind is the length of time your dad has been employed by CU. He can find out by logging into CUBES. They take both of these into account when reviewing applications. There are other types of officer positions within CU: administration, libraries, research, etc. But the officers of instruction generally have the highest pecking order.

Officers kids do have a higher chance of acceptance, but I don’t know by exactly how much. Your best chance is to apply ED, as the officer benefit is lower in the RD round. If you are accepted, then you’ll be treated with a full tuition scholarship, which is a wonderful benefit. Even if you are not accepted, whatever college you matriculate at, Columbia will pay for 50% tuition.

I have additional information, which I’ll be happy to discuss via PM.
