Default **The Official Columbia University Class of 2017 Interview/Acceptance Thread**


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Not at all! I had a low undergrad GPA due to a slow start I guess (3.15, but 4.0 semesters my last 2 years). I have 4.0 graduate GPA, 22AA (22 everything else except bio with 24), biochemistry supplemental instructor, p. gingivalis research, and now doing some research on ketogenic diets.
I never expected the call so this is a surprise! Good luck!!!! Let me know if you have any more questions!

I got an e-mail couple of days ago asking to confirm my interest in school in case a spot opens up.

Hi Everyone,
For those of you who were accepted, would you say a 21 in RC would be disadvantageous to me? I see that it is about 77 percentile(only reason I ask). I got 21+ in all the other sections. My GPA is in the 3.8-4.0 range. Based solely on numbers, would you say I am in good shape to at least get an interview?

Thank you both! Really? They don't see your percentile? Didn't know that...Learn something everyday.
