onetoothleft said:Someone at CU called me to tell me that they were sending some more orientation info (they had the wrong address on their first attempt and I had to correct it).
Anyone already receive it? Did it have anything that I had to respond to immediately? I am done with housing, student health, and finance stuff. . . and I found the student services website and completed everything that i could there.
Did we get an orientation schedule? how about a class schedule? A calendar of the first year?? thx.

vandy_yankee said:on a side note, i've been having weird dreams of me trying (in vain) to push all my **** inside an itty bitty dorm room.
onetoothleft said:I had this dream where I got to orientation and they told me that they gave my spot to some girl who got a great DAT score. I was sad. Good thing it was only a dream.
uclaguy said:Amazing...lets party it up, while setting a record for the highest board score in history of Columbia!!!

SDOS2009 said:was she hot, if not i am glad it was only a dream too.
MrBenny said:i would say avg gpa is 3.3, 3.4, with avg dats of about 21AA.
your gpa is a bit low, so you're going to have to score very high on the DATs (23+).
this is how columbia prioritizes their admissions criteria:
#1: DAT score
#2: strength/reputation of undergraduate college
#3: GPA
SaxyDucky said:You say Columbia emphasises ugrad college. Where do most of the students come from? I'm from The University of Arizona...I happen to think I'm receiving a good education but is that not the reputation they are looking for?
Thanks
x-linked said:when will orientation schedule be sent out? will it be posted on 2008 class website as p&s did? can we get access to that website? (need password, username)
MasterTLT said:It used to be you could get on the 2008 website without a username and password, then it changed quite a few months ago. I knew I should have downloaded all of the test files when I had the chance.
We did get a list of events with the request for the check, not sure if you could call it a schedule. Anyone know what the parking is like around campus for when we move in?
TanyaO86 said:hey guys...can anyone give me a recommendation for a laptop that I should get?
And does anyone know the computer specifications any more in depth than what they have written on the site?
yagoubian said:Can someone please post what address we are suppose to send hte orientation money to, how much we are suppose to send and to who the check is suppose to go out to. I lost the paper having all this information thanks.
pama80 said:Hello upper classman:
i am wondering when the fall semester ususally is over since i will have to rush back to san francisco for jury duty.
thanks.
TanyaO86 said:Have most of you guys received housing?
My situation isn't looking good right now...I'm in the 100s in the 132 people long waiting list. Guess I'll have to prepare for my two hour long subway rides from Brooklyn until something changes.
Btw, I just made a new facebook account for Columbia, so if anyone would like to be added, feel free to pm me.
Hope all of you are enjoying the last few weeks of summer!

vandy_yankee said:quote thing?? what quote thing??
vandy_yankee said:quote thing?? what quote thing??
and pama, can't you get out of jury duty? usually if you're a student they excuse you, don't they? you won't even be in town!
superdentist said:hi guys. i have been reading your posts and this is the first time im submitting a message. Another guy from UCLA, that cant wait to begin school soon. It sounds like we have a great group of first years. If anyone is in LA and wants to meet up before orientation, give me an email. Thanks.
Halitosis said:my god, anyone else still looking for off campus housing?
i'm cat 1 and got rejected for school housing. did any cat 2's or cat 3's get s.housing?
by the way, if you are a girl, already have a contract in hand, and is still looking for roomates, PLEASE PLEASE do not discriminate based on gender. it creates a lot of unnecessary trouble for boys. please....
Mangocat said:You guys will get your schedule during orientation but if nothing changes from last year you'll definitely be done by the holidays-probably towards the end of the second week of December or beginning of third. Hope that helps.

from what i remember, when i could still browse the past schedules, they had only 2 days (+2 weekend days) for a short turkey break and about 2.5 weeks for longer x-mas. i could be wrong...onetooth said:does anyone know how much vacation we would get for the Holidays? anyone from the class of 2008 care to post what their freshman schedule was so that we could see a rough example?
