UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS 21 Office of Undergraduate Admissions Columbia University 212 Hamilton Hall, Mail Code 2807 1130 Amsterdam Avenue New York, NY 10027 Fax: 212-854-3393 Phone: 212-854-2522 www.studentaffairs.columbia. edu/admissions ADMISSION AS A FIRST-YEAR STUDENT Each autumn The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science enrolls approximately 300 highly qualified men and women, chosen from a wide range of applicants. All become full, active participants in a rich and diverse university setting. Therefore, the Admissions Committee is interested in achievements not only in mathematics and science, but also in other fields: English, the social sciences, languages, and the arts. Considerable value is placed on personal qualities and attributes like diversity of interests, special abilities, maturity, motivation, curiosity, and independence. Secondary school records and recommendations are carefully evaluated to ascertain the content and difficulty of the applicant’s preparatory studies and the degree to which this preparation correlates with standardized tests. Of importance also is the candidate’s participation in extracurricular or community activities. Here the emphasis is placed on the depth and significance of involvement rather than on the number of activities. For its final selection, the School seeks students with unique achievements and talents as well as diverse economic, social, and geographic backgrounds. Accordingly, the School of Engineering and Applied Science prescribes no standardized course of study for secondary school students applying for first-year admission. The School does, however, strongly recommend the following academic preparation: • 4 years of mathematics (preferably through calculus) • 1 year of physics • 1 year of chemistry • 4 years of English and recommends as well: • 3 years or more of a foreign language • 3 or 4 years of history and social studies The Application Process Students are strongly encouraged to apply online. You may also download a paper copy of the application. Information about both the online application and the downloadable application will be available by September 1, 2008, at www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/ admissions/applications. If you do not have access to the Internet, please call the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 212-854-2522 to request an application. Part 1 of the application should be filled out and submitted as early as possible along with the $70 application fee or an official fee waiver request. All parts of the application must be postmarked no later than the first business day following January 1. (See below for Early Decision deadlines.) Decision letters are mailed out in early April. The Early Decision Program Candidates for whom Columbia is the first choice may apply under the Early Decision Program. In order to qualify for this program, all application materials must be postmarked by November 1. In mid-December, Early Decision applicants receive notice of their acceptance, denial, or deferral to regular decision status. Applicants admitted under the Early Decision program are obligated to accept Columbia’s offer of admission and must withdraw their applications at other colleges if they are provided with a financial aid package that enables them to attend Columbia. Required Standardized Testing Please go to www.studentaffairs. columbia.edu/admissions for our standardized testing requirements. You must register with the appropriate testing agency well in advance of the date on which you wish to be tested. Please note that scores reported to Columbia’s School of General Studies (2095) will not reach our office and will not be considered for evaluation. Columbia reserves the right not to evaluate a candidate whose scores are not reported directly by the testing agency. Please do not utilize the “rush” service in sending your test scores to Columbia. Doing so does not speed up the processing of your test scores. We obtain all testing via a secure Web site to which we are provided access by the appropriate testing SEAS 2008–2009
