Anyone applying R3? Would I be wasting my time if I did this? I feel like it's pointless but might as well ask and see what everyone thinks or what the general perception is out there....
Probably a waste of time and money -- from what I heard, only people with outstanding circumstances (illness, family emergencies, deployment, etc) should be leveraging R3 at a school the caliber of CBS, and even then, there are very few spots left open. Probably best to wait until August for Early Decision if you really want to go there.
Hmm...I actually do have a disability, which I talk about in my optional essays. And luckily, the essays are literally copy and paste except for the why you want to be part of the columbia community one but that's an easy essay. I might as well try. I'll always regret not going for it...and I don't plan on waiting another year so I'm going all in right now.
