Hi all,
I was an ED applicant last year. Got dinged after an interview.
Columbia remains my favorite and am considering it again. ONly this time as a J term applicant. My worry is on how the school will view the change in preference in such a short period of time.
Anyone with more info on J term size and how it is integrated with the 2 year program?
I got dinged last year in ED and I'm considering re-applying this year in RD so I'm also wondering how CBS will evaluate my change from ED to RD.
CBS has a rule around reapplicants...former applicants can use reapplicant process (i.e. 1 essay + 1 new recommendation) only if submitted within 1 year from the last. I submitted my app late Sept last year so...is my deadline for reapp late Sep this year?
There were comments on this board around chances in ED vs chances in RD. You can look at last year's numbers. I don't think ED was any easier.
1. You might want to address your decision to apply RD as opposed to ED in the optional essay.
2. "Last year" means last application season, so you should do the 1 new essay and 1 new rec
