<p>Any active Columbians on this forum a transfer?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>…I assume this was directed at me, and that I should read that as “see you there”? :-P</p>
<p>Eh, don’t jynx it, man. I just got my Stanford rejection (no worries, I was expecting it). We can hope, but that’s like referring to a woman as your wife before you’re married to her - it’s just asking for trouble :-).</p>
<p>haha i just got rejected from Stanford too as a transfer applicant. i’m a freshman though, so i didn’t think i would get in. Columbia’s decision in next and i’m really worried it comes out this Thursday (May 15) at 5:00PM ET. i really need to get into a good private school, otherwise i’m stuck between picking UCLA or UC Berkeley…</p>
<p>lol ucla and berkeley, thats horrible! ;)</p>
<p>haha berkeley is very nice.</p>
<p>southerncali, UCLA and Berkeley only take junior transfers. Are you at a UC right now?</p>
<p>yeah i graduated high school class of 2007. i’m at UCSC, and i applied to UCLA and Berkeley as a junior transfer. the UC system counts AP scores and community college credits that i took every summer before i graduated high school, so i have junior standing, well technically almost senior (120/180 quarter units), but I REALLY don’t wanna graduate in 2 years…i want the full 4 year experience, which is why it would be really nice to go to a top private school that doesn’t count community college credits (taken before h.s. graduation) and AP scores lower than 5.</p>
<p>i applied for transfer to seas</p>
<p>people drop out for several reasons (this list comforts me)
- they can’t pay for the school
- they can’t handle the courseload
- they transfer to other schools like caltech/mit/berkeley
- they screwed up and were kicked out
- they decided to change their majors</p>
<p>add more, please</p>
<ol>
<li>they want to take a few years off to “find themselves”.</li>
</ol>
<p>I just got off the phone with Columbia and they said that they are accepting only half of one student this year for transfer. Apparently, there’s a housing crunch, but to stay a step above Harvard, they will be accepting half of one lucky student instead of zilch. Good luck gu/ys.</p>
<p>what do you mean by “half of one student”? do you mean half of one percent of applicants, in other words a 0.5% acceptance rate?</p>
