ahhh just wondering if anyone went or is going there this summer cuz i'm going and i'm rather nervous cuz 1. i won't know anyone and 2. you have to apply and write a personal statement and stuff -___- ahhh!!><

[ronmexico]

So are you definitely going, or do you have to apply? I'm sure writing the personal statement won't be too much trouble. This is Columbia University, right?

I applied and was accepted (but who isn't these days? all they want is YO MONAAAY!). I was | | close to going, but I went to study abroad in Japan instead. ahah, they e-mailed me and were like WHY AREN'T YOU ATTENDING?!!? Anyway, a bunch of my friends went (10+) on various programs (biology, business, writing, etc etc) and they said it was fun.

I'm from NYC so a lot of my friends commuted from home. It'll be a much better experience -- albeit, more expensive -- if you dormed there. A few of them did that, and they seemed to have a lot more fun. Nothing beats a weekend in Manhattan!

The professors don't really care that much about you, though. But, what more can you expect? Kids are from all over (mostly from NY/LI i heard), but there are definitely kids from cali, hawaii, texas, etc. (the big states).

good luck! and don't worry..i think EVERYONE gets accepted lol.

thanks for that. and hahaha i still haven't sent in my app yet-____-^ i should really get started on the personal statement. siggh. but ya i am dorming so it'll be fun i hope=D

[angelzstar]

don't they only chose 280 students for the program?

[Eddie]

^ definitely not.

...i think?

[angelzstar]

^ definitely not.

...i think?

they do. And plus, don't you have to take that test with almost every subject in it: physic, chem, bio, math, etc. in order to get in?

[Eddie]

Where are you getting this information?

I personally went through the process -- I was accepted, as was every other person I know who applied (10+). There was no test required either. That's why I don't believe only 280 applicants are accepted. There are various programs, and I know that the business program itself has 50-100+ kids. Then there's the engineering ones, etc. If 50-100 kids enroll in the business seminar, then that means well over 200 applied (and probably accepted).

>.< Crap. I read this wrong. I was referring to the Columbia University Science Honors Program...sorry
