Probably not. My CV would look too much like my resume and wouldn't add much.Are y'all uploading the optional CV?
okay when it says work for compensation should we talk about summers in which we did research and were supported by a stipend? or are they looking for hourly wage jobs?
similar question in terms of being an RA - i got paid a monthly stipend, and am not sure if i should put that in the secondary
From which languages can you translate scholarly material into English?
I've translated flyers for a free clinic where I volunteer from English to Spanish and vice versa. Would this be enough to include it? When they say scholarly material I'm thinking research articles. I'm not sure if I would be able to do that. I am a native Spanish speaker and that is listed on my AMCAS. Would it look weird if I don't put Spanish for this question?
I decided to err on the safe side and leave it blank.
EDIT: Same question for the extracurriculars section
@ElCapone Last year, they came to the consensus that it was redundant and unnecessary. I would guess that if it adds anything to your application, add it; if not, don't.
same! I was wondering if it meant written language as wellI had a similar question but with Hindi. The "scholarly material" part is throwing me off.. I can translate and what not, but I'm not sure about research material..
Yea.. I left this blank because if they gave me a research article in Hindi and told me to translate it I wouldn't be able to and I would rather be safe than sorry. Idk, maybe I'm paranoid."can you translate scholarly material from a language to english" Pretty sure everything is in english in my country anyways so idk how useful it would be...

So what challenges do you guys expect to see in an urban environment?
Same questions plus something along the times of what aspect most interest you about the Basset program.Can someone post the Basset questions?
Are you guys using a star as a bullet or just a dash when writing about extracurricular activities/ work during college?
What aspect of Columbia-Bassett has the most appeal to you?Can someone post the Basset questions?
I went with full sentences. But am curious as to what others are doing.
When schools ask anything else, should I add something about a characteristic i believe I have or is it generally better to leave it blank?
Is everyone using the last prompt, "is there anything else you would like us to know" as a "why Columbia" question?
I ended up doing so.Is everyone using the last prompt, "is there anything else you would like us to know" as a "why Columbia" question?

Columbia is one of my top choices! I'm curious, what is exactly meant by people calling it the college of "surgeons and surgeons" ? I don't really see myself in surgery, how big is the emphasis?
I had the same problem but it worked if I submitted as a pdfIs anyone else having trouble uploading their CV?
EDIT: It says the page was complete but after I submitted it had this weird error message...
So for the translation thing...If i were given the document and had to translate it on the spot, I wouldn't do too well, but given enough time and access to Google Translate for 'scholarly' words, I'd be able to do it. I'm guessing that doesn't count?
Is that question really asking how fluent you are ie to the point that you can read and understand scholarly works in that language well enough to translate?
I'm fluent in a couple languages but I'm not putting anything down for that bc I wouldn't know how to say, for instance, "kidney" or something in those languages.So for the translation thing...If i were given the document and had to translate it on the spot, I wouldn't do too well, but given enough time and access to Google Translate for 'scholarly' words, I'd be able to do it.
