Columbia LOR

[bcdds09]

For all those who applied to Columbia, what were all the LOR's you submitted. After reading through their website again..apparently I need 3 science professors? Does anyone know if I can get by with 2 science professors and 1 dentist? Thanks.

I had the same concern when I saw their Letter of Recs. requirement a month or so ago. I asked Dr. McManus if my combination of letters was ok (2 science, 1 non-science, and 1 dentist) and he told me that "The letters you have submitted are adequate."

Hope this helps.

Yea, that helps, thanks! I have the same letters as you do..I wonder if I should still call in to make sure?

I had one from a science prof, one from a scholarship coordinator [who was a math professor, but I had never been in any of his classes. The other one was from a sociology professor. I don't think they care that much about the letters. IMO

Thanks Harry.

Nice stats btw 😱. If I were an adcom I wouldn't even bother reading your letters and just shoot you an e-mail for an interview. Great job.
