How can I get into Columbia University?

Columbia University, like all top-tier colleges and Ivy Leagues, is very difficult to get into. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t get in if your heart is set on it. How do you get in to Columbia University? You must be able to demonstrate your academic ability and your GPA. Find something you love and apply for Columbia University. You might consider joining the high school’s debate society if you enjoy speaking. Join the science club, if you like to build things and are interested in inventions and how they work.

If you feel like there isn’t a club at your school that reflects what you are passionate about, consider starting one. The admission board is looking for evidence that you aren’t just doing things to get a job, but actually enjoy what you do. Participate in activities you are passionate about. You should also be willing to show your participation in sports in your application. Your personal essays should be unique and authentic. Be authentic and not just impress. Your chances of being accepted to Columbia University will increase if you have high test scores and good GPAs. These are some tips to help you get into Columbia University.

Natasha, this is Natasha. Let’s find out a bit more about me. My birthplace was Jakarta, Indonesia. I have lived there all my life. But I’m not an expert in Indonesian. My next vlogs will be more detailed. But I am in New York. For now, however, I will be speaking English as this topic is very helpful for everyone around the globe.

Because I have been in English schools since my childhood, I think my English is better than mine. I made it to Columbia, in December 2016, so that’s how it ended. I was admitted to Columbia in December 2016. I didn’t apply for admission in March. My case is unique because it was the first time I applied to another university. Even though I could have applied to universities elsewhere, as I was already accepted in an advance decision, I’m not sorry. Columbia was my only choice. Today I am going to share my story. You can also learn some of my tips to help you get into top universities.

Tip number 1: Find something that you enjoy and do it. What I did was to find a way to connect with people. I started a blog called Jakarta Journal where I would travel around Jakarta to take photos and then write their stories. They were posted on Facebook and Instagram as well as my own website. It’s what I enjoy doing. That’s all you need to do. However, you must find something you love to do and continue doing it. Include this part in your application.

University officers want you to show that you don’t just do things to improve your resume. They don’t want you to do it for the resume, but rather because you love it. That’s what I recommend you do. I know high school classmates who are passionate about debate. They won’t stop arguing and will even participate in competitions. They were even part of the Indonesian debate team. That’s pretty cool. You should find something you love and keep at it. It does not have to be music, photography, or other artistic endeavors. All you need is to showcase it in your application. It would be a great idea to show that to university officers.

The second tip? Get involved. Get involved, no matter if you are at school or homeschooled. Homeschooled students can participate in their local government and the neighborhood. You can also get involved in student councils, sports, and any type of community service. I was involved in sports at high school. I played basketball, touch rugby, rugby and taco A.

In addition to my community service, I also did community service via my blog. I also took part in Student Council. In my senior years, I ran for office and was elected president. I also participated in the pathway project, which allowed me to provide internships for students. However, it is essential that you remain in these clubs for at least a year. In the common application, you will need to list 10 activities and then write down how many years you have been involved with these clubs. You shouldn’t just join a few clubs and organizations. The universities will probably see this and think that you don’t have enough. The resume is everything.

They don’t like it that you prefer to focus on clubs where you are passionate and can stay committed for a long time. Since fifth grade, I’ve been playing basketball and volleyball. Since 11th grade, I’ve been part of rugby. Student Council was my club since the ninth grade. I have been a member since then, and on the pathway since 10. It’s important to demonstrate your commitment. The university officers only want to see that you can take advantage of their opportunities and go to university. If you’re not interested, then they’ll see your application. They want someone who can really help their peers to grow. Be active and help others. That will help you apply.

Tip number three: Get good grades and high scores. This is the common belief that IB 45 is required to enter an Ivy League. You must score perfect SAT or ACT scores to be accepted into an Ivy League. This is false. Good scores are not enough. You don’t have to get the highest score. You should do your best. You can only do your best if you try. Even if you score a 35, that’s perfectly acceptable. Focus on the other aspects of your application, such as essays and all. But you have to be hardworking and give it your best. It’s not impossible to get a perfect IB or AP score. You don’t have to get 37, 38, or any other score for Ivy League schools. Even if you get a or lower, it is possible to still qualify for Ivy League universities. Every application is different, so a poor score does not mean much.

It’s only a score. They look at your entire application. You will also need to take the SAT or ACT Subject Tests in order to be eligible for the standardized tests. You need to find out what university requirements you are required to take. Ivy League universities require two Subject Tests. However, Northwestern and Georgetown, for instance, require three. Don’t do random tests and assume that you will do well. You won’t get a high score at the end. You should also do this. Preparation is key. You need to prepare for standardized test. It’s still possible to fail. The test is still difficult. You should practice a lot. You should take it slow and prepare for the test. You won’t forget what the test is about when you are actually there.

What should your goal be? Google is a great way to start. Just Google the average ACT score of Columbia or the average SAT score at University. The average ACT score for Columbia is 34 if I google that. The 25th percentageile is 32. The 75th is 35. You don’t need to score those scores. A 30 is enough to still be admitted to Columbia. You should aim for that range so it is safer.

These scores are often used to compare your grades. Every school grades differently, so some schools inflate others and some use these scores to assess your eligibility for university. Standardized tests are notorious for not allowing people to be as smart as they can be and excel at many things. They might only score a pass rate of mediocre. However, someone who is just smart enough to study hard but not life-smart can still get a perfect ACT/SAT result.

You can get a great score on this component, but it is not the end. You should do fine if you work hard to get your scores.

Let me end by saying that writing a great essay is a must. Because they don’t see your score, they can only tell who you really are. They can see your essay. It is important to ensure that all essays are yours. Pay someone to write an essay for you. If they discover you did not write the essay, they will likely disqualify you from school and ban you from returning. If they find out that you didn’t write your essay, they can disqualify you and kick you out of the school.

This can sometimes be very difficult. Your essay will make you appear like someone else. It is possible to apply for the same job application as someone else if your essay tries to portray you as someone else. This is not a good thing. They want your real voice. They won’t like people who don’t love them. You shouldn’t pretend to like someone you aren’t because it might make you feel uncomfortable. It might be perfect for you. It might not work for you. This is what I wrote about, and how it helped me to help the community through my blog.

I found something I loved and was able to make an impact in my community. I started the process three months prior. Your essay has another problem. It’s easy to get many people to read it and make sure everyone is happy with it. It is best to give your essay to trusted people. It is important that you don’t give your essay to too many people. Otherwise, it may become stale. It is important to give the essay to people you trust. They should be able to see your personality through it. Your essay can be about any topic you wish.

A Columbian friend of mine wrote about spelling bees, while a Columbian friend of mine wrote about food. These essays can be found online by simply searching Google. This is for American Universities. Each prompt will require you to select the most effective prompts. Don’t hesitate to be proud. Be humble and not pompous. Be proud of what you do have. So that university officials can see how smart or skilled this student is. That is the kind of kid I want to see in my university.

These are my four tips. This is my personal story. If you have questions, please email Natasha —–@gmail.com. It will be right here. I will answer your questions if you have them.

While I am not saying I have the most impressive essay or application, my methods are effective in getting into Columbia. The truth is that this method may not be suitable for everyone. Because they aren’t universally accepted, there will be rejections. It’s a good thing I’m leaving Lions. I am so excited. Do not despair if you don’t make it to an Ivy League University.

Even if your application is rejected by the top universities, it doesn’t mean you won’t be accepted. You can still succeed. A friend of mine was a student at a national school. Then he attended the University of Indonesia. Now he is a masters student at northwestern Kellogg Business School. He is doing well. You can be a successful person no matter where your origins are. Your worth goes beyond that.

If you put your heart and soul into it, I believe you’ll find that you’ll do well wherever you go. There is no way to guarantee admission to a university. I was able to get in Columbia earlier because of this. I wish you guys a great schoolyear. That’s all I have. I’m excited to move to New York. Keep checking my vlogs for updates. It’ll be an exciting adventure for me.

That’s what I want you to experience through my vlogs. Thanks for watching and please subscribe. Although this video was quite long, I still had lots to say. Enjoy your time at school. Take advantage of high school because you’ll be graduating soon and your friends will move around the world. One of them lives in Australia.
