<p>Got a great rec from Bob Kerry as well as my supervisor at the New School.</p>

<p>Awesome rec from TA at Columbia (talks about my interest and knowledge in electronics)</p>

<p>Also getting reccomendations from my Physics, Chemistry, and U.S. History teachers.</p>

<p>Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Tell me what you think.</p>

<p>Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp</p>

3

<p>come on, anyone?</p>

4

<p>maybe people are afraid to respond because your stats are GREAT. (like how many hs’ers invent their own garbage receptacles?) bring out your greatest ACCOMPLISHMENTS and they’ll love you.</p>

<p>too many recs. closer to two, not five.</p>

<p>p.s. i like those satii scores.</p>

5

<p>thanx ofeternity</p>

6

<p>I think you pretty much know you have a great shot, no need for ego-boosting here.</p>

7

<p>no, seriously, i got deferred from cornell, and i’m scared since RD is twice as hard</p>

8

<p>deferred from cornell? jesus christ what do they want</p>

9

<p>i got a C the first quarter and they checked</p>

10

<p>Make sure you spell it “received,” not “recieved.”</p>

<p>Great stats!!!</p>

11

<p>sorry, my bad. thanks though</p>

12

<p>I’d say SEAS is less selective then Cornell, so don’t worry.</p>

13

<p>thanks…</p>

14

<p>bump + 10char</p>

<p>wow another fellow turk. I am from Jersey also.
Fairview/ Cliffside Park
where do u go to school?</p>

<p>I would say that you have a really good chance, but in case you get rejectyed or doubt yourself Columbia SEAS has a 5 year program where you recieve a BA/BS. Y ou spend the first 3 years at an affiliated liberal arts college with Columbia, take the required classes and maintain a 3.0 or B and you have garunteed acceptance to SEAS for your last two years where you recieve a BS in any major you want.</p>

<p>I was planning on doing this program because I would like to major in economics at a liberal arts college and then come to SEAS and get a degree in Applied Mathematics or major in Biology and then Bio-Medical engineering, it works out great for me, hope it helps you: here is the link </p>

<p>By the way where do you go to school?</p>

<p>good luck</p>

16

<p>i want to cry. i have no chance. </p>

<p>why couldn’t i invent someting??</p>

17

<p>Good achievements, Great 800s. All this totals up to an awesome shot.</p>

<p>What College in Cornell did you apply for? If it was Cornell Engineering, I’m surprised you got deferred because everyone from my school got in ED and that’s like 9-10 people.</p>

18

<p>yeh it was engineering. i got a C my first marking period in calculus.</p>

<p>btw i’m from holmdel.</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>“I’d say SEAS is less selective then Cornell, so don’t worry.”</p>
