bro literally. my SAT right now is 1100 and I don't think I will be able to take more because I'm applying to college soon bruh

Right 😭😭😭

@@baoquynguyen39 you have the August sat study for that one

@@baoquynguyen39 I’m doing the same

I got 900 on my junior year hopefully it gets better this upcoming year😭😭

if they are not heavy on that what are they heavy on? (asking as a 16 year old studying A levels)

@@felixfan4105 They do take in consideration your accomplishments and hard work. I was part of something big in our society, though. Your hard work shows, the extracurricular activities and how much you want to do for the world. The essay is the heaviest thing of all.

same i got accepted as a transfer student too! still deciding if i should accept it or not though..

@@hafu5599 If you have other options that are cheaper, don't hesitate. Columbia University does not have a good scholarship system.

@@bellaruiz8991 I got accepted into a cuny school and already registered classes over there since I didn't expect to get accepted into Columbia! the financial aid is amazing over there but my family wants me to go to Columbia! I have no idea how much the financial aid covers the tuition fees for a *private university*

LOL FACTS

may i ask what your psat and/or act score was?

@@daniellag517 L

uwuwu ty it was true ~art~

ayoooo good luck

@@Toemas Thankssss!!!

What happened?

That was a dream for me😭 out of like 5 or 6 APs I got a 3 on two (which my college didn’t even take ☹️).

i got 800 lol. math is pretty easy just got like 720 on reading cuz that shit hard.

@Scientist I know what a subject test is. Just from my observation, it was about as difficult conceptually as my Calc 4 class.

@@backslash4571 are you trolling I can't tell because its honestly still probably easier than calc 1

i bet it shore was

Hi Asyush, I transferred to Columbia last fall (2021) from a community college near my area. I seriously think the traits they seek the most are the good character pillars. They want us to be passionate and deliver that passion into the community service. This university was not one of my choice. I received the invitation for early entry and I did not apply right away because I wasn't sure to go there until the very last day because I received an email from one of the advisors. I gave all reasons why I did not want to accept and that hey could give my place to other student but they ended up giving me a place because they believed in me and what I have done. Some students want Ivy league universities because of the prestige it entails to carry the name of an ivy league alumni. That is ego and ego is the worst enemy of humans and they can smell that. Honesty, passion, and service are the traits they love the most. The only thing I did when applying was to be as honest from the heart and the things you have done and want to do for our society. To write an essay that is heartfelt because you are really passionate about what you want to do for our society to improve. I never thought I was going to be accepted and to this day, I still do not feel the weight of the importance of Columbia University. I feel that any other university can be great because we are the ones who make a university, the university does not make us. Nonetheless, I do have to mention that my experience with my professors has been great. They do squeeze our brains and that is pleasantly challenging. Humbleness and service is one thing they really like. I did not take the SAT or any other test but the Duolingo to test my English proficiency because I am Mexican. My GPA was 3.9.

@@bellaruiz8991 thanks for the great info. Just to clarify, your GPA was 3.9 in high school or in college?

@@aayushgoud6359 College.

@@bellaruiz8991 Thank you for this. I've been looking to transfer to Columbia, and this encourages me to apply with no fear of my test scores, grades, etc.

Hi @bellaruiz thanks for this, I'm working on my statement of purpose and I think I have hit a deadlock. Can u be of help. Actually your comment is going to help me but I wouldn't mind getting more. Thanks

LOLLLL it be like that

😭😭 eric esp made me feel that

Oh heyy I rlly enjoyed ur part of the video u have a good personality!

LOL sorry i dont have all my evolutions memorized

After taking AP classes throughout school, I actually found college to be less stressful. I guess I could have applied myself more, but I still graduated college with a B+ average.

To be honest, if your daughter is chilling with AP classes then gpa shouldn't be an issue. Definitely should invest time in what she's passionate in. I think that's what I regret not doing the most.

I'm not sure if they have tours in the summer but as for studying, it can definitely be brutal but I still think college is easier in high school due to how you dont have to be stuck in class for 8 hours a day and can calibrate your schedule to your specific academic/passion/social/health needs

d

I have the opposite opinion lol, I had a perfect GPA in hs w like 15 APs but im at an ivy league college and for the first time am struggling with grades, you wont get a good gpa without investing in time to study unless you go to a college where the classes aren't super rigorous (depending on major and course load ofc) - take this w a grain of salt tho ig cuz my courses take up 8 hrs/day plus 10 hrs of lab per week and I'm taking like 4-5 stem classes tg because of my major reqs so i have exams extremely often and no time to study for them but you have to study to do well in most classes

This LOL like they know what there doing

I am fighting for this in my classes at Columbia.

this is not rlly true. for one thing he asked for their lowest scores so these were their lowest scores, what do u want them to do, lie and say they got a 500 on their SAT?? and also how "good" u do on a test is almost completely subjective. everyone has scores that they think are weak for themselves, average for themselves, and rlly good for themselves so yeah.

XD idk if he does gl scouring the web for it tho

@@ninersnation3298 who asked

yeah but you need 1400+ for national merit scholarship stuff

Dang you observant af

@@Toemas you’re so cute af too!

uwu ty :))

XD XD

yo thats what IM sayin

your pretty cute too mr fencing man

I feel like this is an awkward question to ask on this KZfaq video, but would you mind me asking about what it was like getting onto a college fencing team? It's my dream to fence in an NCAA team, but I don't know if I can make it. What was the process like for you? Did you get in like a regular student or were you recruited? If you were recruited, how did that work? What was your rating before you started fencing over there? Sorry for bombarding you with so many questions, I just go to a really small club and have never met anyone who fences in an NCAA team

how tf do u have a 3.8 unweighted if ur sat was 1100 lol. i have the same uw with a 1520 sat

@@suhaasvemuri7980 I dont do good on those type of tests so that's probably why

I literally got a 990 on the PSAT 😢

when I was in high school I had about the same GPA and SAT score. Those types of tests are hard so good job either way

@@cianemckelvy2961 thank you for that. finally someone gets me. idk how people do so well on SAT or ACT, neither tests work for me and I know that I do bad on time-pressure tests already so it wasn't worth it for me to turn them in when applying anyways. but yea ://

oui oui eiffel tower

dangg i miss you more bro

@@Toemas plz come back soon :D

Yo FACTS

Lol a lot of people who go to Columbia did get into Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. Columbia is ranked higher than Yale and Stanford and has a lower acceptance rate and has the same rank and about the same acceptance rate as Harvard. I also know a number of students at Harvard who didn’t get into Columbia or and I know one who even Cornell lmao but got into Harvard. It’s not a linear scale.

Keep those blinders on baby. That’s why you’re out of the rankings this year. Lots should really be some. And when you prep for the LSAT you’ll learn that the definition of some is at least one.

@@paulrivera5231 usnews ranking is the most useless list ive ever seen. u know why ur failing in life? cuz u believe in some random ranking based on random metrics defining a school that ranks in the top 0.0001% in the world lmao

You know you cheated on your stats…. AND YOU GOT CAUGHT !!!
