[@anaisz5835]

Thank you Caroline! This video was really informative. I just got admitted into Columbia College yesterday #Classof2024! I am interested in majoring in the humanities while on the pre-med track. Can you speak to the experience of balancing a humanities curriculum with pre-med classes and possibly to the experience of anyone you know who graduated from Columbia on the pre-med track and what they are doing now?

[@CarolineChen]

Hi Anais! Congratulations!! 🥳🥳 and yes, for sure! Will make sure to cover this in the next video! :)

@@CarolineChen Here in Brazil, I wish to you a great carreer, in medicine. In fact, my dead father, Dr. Edison Leite Rocha (1931- 2022) was a doctor. I have a brother who is a doctor and a nephew is also a doctor. Two nephews of me are studing medicine. A niece of me is a nurse.

[@CarolineChen]

Thank you so much! I’m so sorry for your loss. Your family is doing such great work-you must be proud of them! 😊

[@daltonagre]

@@CarolineChen Thanks for, your answer.

[@CarolineChen]

Ahhh thank you Leona for all of your support!! 🥰☺️

[@buttercupbuble3754]

Thanks for this awesome video!! I was admitted to Columbia ‘24 and am interested in pursuing politics and journalism. Could you speak about what opportunities Columbia/NYC offers in terms of those fields and the benefits of choosing Columbia, if you have any insight? If not, that’s totally fine! :)

[@CarolineChen]

Hey @PrincessAils! :) Congrats on your acceptance!! I'll ask some of my polisci friends who would know more about this that I would 😊

[@johnsmiths8744]

Which residence hall do you think is the best?

[@JohnSmith-dk2hd]

I got in!!!!! Im rlly torn between dartmouth and columbia. Im afraid columbia lacks the "college experience". Any input?

[@CarolineChen]

Congrats John (on both acceptances!!) 🥳 🥳 will try to address this in the next q&a! :)

[@studywithpolya2542]

One more question: does Columbia have a marketing/PR programs?

[@CarolineChen]

I don’t think there is a marketing major for undergrads, but there are programs in the business school. For undergrads, there is the special concentration in business which might be worth looking into! academics.gsb.columbia.edu/mendelson-center/requirements

[@johnsmiths8744]

How residential is Columbia?

[@amuthaindrani4152]

To get admission at 2023...when or should.. apply..to columbia... can.. u say.. me..caroline

[@joyce9459]

i’m trying to decide if i should go to upenn or columbia i like them both but it’s so hard to choose :(.

[@CarolineChen]

good luck with the decision joyce!!

[@aspiringking5000]

Is there a way to exempt from any core classes? I read a ton of books by great philosophers and ancient literature. For example, I read the Odyssey in the eighth grade. I'm not completely against taking the class but it could be used other where.

[@CarolineChen]

Hi! 😊 I haven’t heard of exemptions from the Core, but it sounds like you’ll have a nice head start for Lit Hum and CC! :) I’m sure you’ll still enjoy the courses since they’re such a defining part of the Columbia undergrad experience (and it kind of feels like you’re in a quintessential college movie scene in those classes hehe). Also, a lot of my classmates who had read these texts before still were really engaged since the discussion points and approaches to learning were different from what they’d encountered in the past (and they brought a lot of insight from their previous experience too!). Hope this helps! 😙💖

[@aspiringking5000]

Caroline Chen THANK💞YOU so much!!!!

What’s the columbias animal?

[@studywithpolya2542]

Does Columbia has a double-major?

[@CarolineChen]

Hi yep! You can double major at Columbia 🙂
