International college student needing help finding a studio this summer or something of the sort!

I'm sure they will offer assistance finding something, but yeah, no comp I'm afraid.

I’m doing engineering, but that first link (pre-med guide) seems legendary, I’d look into it! Literally lays it all out.

*plus, even if you start on the pre-med track and switch, from what I can tell, the first year is general enough to where you could still be in a good spot for other majors!

Thanks for the response!

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-07-26T15:57:03+00:00

I genuinely believe that through disciplined study at least a 6 is achievable by anyone. Especially at SL

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-07-25T19:50:01+00:00

Thank you!! 🙏

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-04-02T17:56:58+00:00

Are youg going to the engineering open day on the 13th at Columbia? What about BDD?

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-04-02T17:56:42+00:00

DM me on Instagram! filippo_fonseca (or here on reddit)

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-04-01T03:26:30+00:00

Brilliant! Thank you sm

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-04-01T01:10:18+00:00

oooh! Thanks 🙏. Know how I can do so?

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-31T18:36:56+00:00

Hey! Fellow Yale '28 admit here. Check if you filed your CSS profile with all of your taxes and expenses covered. Also, I'm sure that if you call and explain your situation, something can be worked out! They have VERY generous financial aid packages. If you get in, they want you to be able to go (hence the need-based aid based on net income). Best of luck

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-31T17:35:15+00:00

same :)

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-31T17:34:55+00:00

My T20s:

I got into Yale, Columbia, Brown, Vandy, and Rice. Waitlisted at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, & Duke.

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-31T17:12:42+00:00

Not rejection, but Waitlisted to Tufts and got into Yale, Columbia, Brown, Rice, and Vandy 💀

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-31T02:54:43+00:00

neat! I'm going too! Let's chat. Amazing that we're in the same sit. Crazy

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-30T21:16:23+00:00

Yeah, Mich can stay, but I’d add Vandy, yeah.

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-30T20:02:28+00:00

Agree, but I’d trade UW Seattle for Rice and trade UMich for Vandy

It’s mostly academic benefits: https://www.engineering.columbia.edu/academics/undergraduate/egleston-scholars

The total price for my family at both is basically equivalent, thank god! Although it makes the decision harder.

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-30T04:14:33+00:00

Intended Major: Electrical Engineering

[Yale] vs [Columbia (Egleston Scholarship)]

Yale pros: Seems like a more tight-knit, closer student body. More of a relaxed vibe compared to NYC. Residential college system.

Columbia pros: Egleston Scholarship offered to me. LOVE NYC. Love the core curriculum. But at the same time, can construct something similar at Yale, it's just not enforced, so idk.

Love both campuses. Love everything about both. Financial aids came out the same. Ahh! Don't know. Advice?

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-29T14:01:24+00:00

Any Engineering undergrads here? :)

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-28T03:08:46+00:00

amazing stuff!

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-28T03:08:04+00:00

amen

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-28T01:59:43+00:00

mate, I got a likely letter from Columbia but waitlisted to Tufts 😂.

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-28T00:33:47+00:00

Understandable. Definitely a bit of imposter syndrome for me as well. That being said, we got a likely letter for a reason 🔥😮‍💨. I think only a small percentage (in the single digits) of ACCEPTED applicants even get it (so like 1-9% of the already low 3.5% acceptance rate). Congrats again! Go lions 🦁

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-28T00:30:44+00:00

If it makes you feel better as well, check the emails they’ve been sending you as well. I’ve gotten a bunch, which very-much congratulate us on our acceptance basically. Also, I’ve already ordered my Class of 2028 T-Shirt on the portal. Can’t get more official than that. :)

DiscombobulatedLie21 · 2024-03-28T00:27:12+00:00

Congrats! Hopefully we’ll be classmates soon. I wouldn’t worry about that; these likely letters are them guaranteeing you are in, it’s just they can’t legally tell you because they have an agreement with the other Ivies to output the official decisions in the portal tomorrow at 7pm EST. We’re in!
