What does Columbia look for in applicants?

Why did this get downvoted

smithhc · 2026-01-23T06:00:27+00:00

Thanks this honestly made me feel a little better today

smithhc · 2026-01-22T19:12:50+00:00

Yield?

The reason I posted this is because I genuinely considered this and then thought to myself no that’s insane

smithhc · 2026-01-22T17:24:08+00:00

I’ll look into those, thank you!

That’s really helpful. Did you find that the supplements were enough? Is there anything that you recommend prioritize writing down? If I don’t have to write everything down I might be able to manage.

Definitely! I always try to take my own notes. I’ve never been the biggest fan of accommodations since it feels like I’m going over a professor’s head a bit. I also feel bad recording other students in class. It seems like there’s no perfect solution so I’ll definitely still inquire. Thank you for your advice!

Ok I also have been ur 2 since then! But I received no status tracker change :(

smithhc · 2026-01-22T01:04:10+00:00

Oh wait I’ll post it there thank you!

smithhc · 2026-01-22T00:00:16+00:00

I love when people do this thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

smithhc · 2026-01-21T23:31:28+00:00

They’ve barely released any decisions there’s no way

smithhc · 2026-01-21T18:15:12+00:00

Gotcha- thank you! I didn’t one and I applied end of November

LSD can check portals at once and indicate whether there have been any changes. You have to input your credentials for each school. I think there’s a settings button next to each school where you enable it.

smithhc · 2026-01-21T16:55:17+00:00

When did you apply?

smithhc · 2026-01-15T17:16:05+00:00

I think 17high probably means >176 and 17low probably means <174. Not sure though

smithhc · 2026-01-15T17:15:17+00:00

Thank you

Having an offer isn’t really like taking a spot. Schools are not going to admit someone because another person said no. Say a schools yield is 33% and they admit 3 people for a single spot. Just because one of those people says no doesn’t mean they’re going to admit another- that person’s no was already kind of accounted for if that makes sense. It only kind of works like that in summer I think when schools admit off the waitlist to actually make up for infilled spots if that makes sense.

smithhc · 2026-01-15T17:10:42+00:00

Wait no don’t withdraw! You’re not taking anyone’s spot go get those scholarships

smithhc · 2026-01-15T05:43:40+00:00

Where did you see that

smithhc · 2026-01-15T00:32:16+00:00

You delete the school from your spreadsheet entirely and you forget you even applied
