<p>Has the breakdown for early decisions for the ivies. 2014
There is no breakdown between CC and SEAS listed. If this link does not work, search ivy league early admissions class of 2014, and the link should come up. This blog seems to have accurate info, and this years numbers are congruent with what the acceptance letter says. Have a great weekend</p>
<p>Bwog also reports 2995 ED applications and 631 admissions/acceptances: [Bwog</a> CC/SEAS 2014 Nine States Short For Now](<a href=“http://bwog.net/2009/12/11/2014-nine-states-short-for-now]Bwog”>http://bwog.net/2009/12/11/2014-nine-states-short-for-now)</p>
<p>OH MY GOD. My evil counselor didn’t write me a recommendation letter!!! I gave her her part of my app a month in advance, specifically asked for a letter, and followed up afterwards, and she never told me she didn’t write one. The only reason I know is because I went in her office today to ask if I could have a copy of it for a scholarship, and she totally cavalierly says “Oh, I didn’t write one. They said it was optional.” I was somehow, miraculously, accepted anyway. Which is good, because if not, I would have killed her. Seriously. This is why I hate the whole principle of recommendations. Because you can’t trust people to be responsible on their own, but if you pester them, they get irritated. Ugh, just had to vent somewhere. But I’m better now. I’m going to Columbia. Breathe and smile. :]</p>
<p>So how exactly do you get that little Columbia CC '13 underneath your name?</p>
<p>Does anyone feel nervouse to go to columbia?</p>
<p>sorry i meant nervous</p>
<p>NW: go to “my control panel” at the top left of the page. on the top left list, there should be “edit my details” or something along those lines. change your location and it will appear on every post…</p>
<p>asdas: no. i’m so excited.</p>
<p>thank you College Confidential for helping out</p>
<p>and congratulations to everyone who got in!!</p>
<p>deferred/rejected: i won’t tell you “it’s okay be happy” … but the past has happened and there is no changing it. being angry at admissions officers, collegeboard, or yourself will not get you anywhere… just let it motivate you… the past is the past</p>
<p>asdas209, yes, I am terrified, but extremely beyond belief excited! I’m just really scared I’m going to get lost (I live in a fairly small suburb of Houston).</p>
<p>but we’ll get used to it:)</p>
<p>Not scared, just incredibly excited and anxious to get into the city! I can’t wait to meet all of you guys! We should have a special CC party the first week.</p>
<p>Congrats to all of you who have been accepted ED by Columbia. I’m from CC '13 and was accepted ED last year. Really the only advice I can give you now is that the rest of your senior year means nothing, it will only be a buildup until your freshman year.</p>
<p>The transition to Columbia is very easy and, since you’re ED, I’m sure you already love the school. You’ll meet some of the most amazing people in the world here and have the best times of your life.</p>
<p>I really suggest that all of you, even though you have committed to Columbia, attend Days on Campus. I would also suggest that you guys start trying to meet up with other Columbia '14s. Last year we organized a meetup with '13 EDers just a few weeks after the results came back. Oh, and orientation week (what we call NSOP) is a nonstop party. Everyone is friendly to everyone else, everyone is looking to meet new people, and everyone is at least a bit nervous about transitioning into college life. After the first day’s events you literally do not need to attend any more college orientation events. I would just suggest that you go everywhere, do as much as you can, and don’t sleep (you won’t be the only one awake at 6AM every day). </p>
<p>Oh, and avoid the frats on any “unofficial” party night. If you even so much as look at them on a night that they’re not throwing a party then they will assume that you are looking to rush. There is no pressure at all from the general student body to join a frat, but during the first week the frats will try pretty hard to get you to rush. Only two of my friends actually joined a frat and no one on my floor has pledged.</p>
<p>Congratulations once again! You all have a lot to look forward to.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice derf!</p>
<p>mmmm I’m thoroughly disappointed. Luck of the draw I guess.</p>
<p>some quick stats: 2350/1600 Sat 1570 combined sat IIs 96 gpa unweighted top 10% since my school doesn’t rank. 200+ hours community service</p>
<p>Better luck in march I suppose.</p>
<p>:) it makes me look forward to going to columbia, I have wanted to go there since I was a little girl .lol. and I am excited super excited, just nervous a wee bit. but i know i and everyone else will be fine :)</p>
<p>To Deferred:</p>
<p>Cookie cutter applications mean nothing. I’ve met more valedictorians, presidents of this, top scorers in that, and kids with perfect scores on their SATs than I can count. Thing is, many of the kids kids who Columbia accepts aren’t just by statistics. They have personalities that must have come through, abilities and talents that surpass many of their peers.</p>
<p>My neighbor in my dorm went as a translator to the Olympics in Beijing. Down the hall from me is a friend who is one of the top ranked cubers (people who compete with rubiks cubes, I think that’s what he calls it) in the world. He can solve them with his feet and with only one hand while blindfolded for gods sake. There are several very accomplished musicians, an incredible actor, a brilliant writer, and many, many more incredible people. There is no way I am able to describe every outstanding person that I’ve met in my first semester of college here.</p>
<p>It is my view that, more so than the other ivies, Columbia looks for personalities rather than just scores. We have the most diverse student body in the ivy league and it really shows.</p>
<p>Certainly Columbia defers or rejects many, many accomplished and capable students, arguably incorrectly. However, I feel that, on a whole, Columbia’s admissions board looks for a person who will contribute to the community, a person who really wants to learn and explore, not just another high scoring, top of the class student.</p>
<p>Oh, and 200 hours of community service is so little compared to so many other people.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>harsh, man.</p>
