With Columbia's rolling admissions process, what percent of the class do you think is filled already?

I was not prepared to apply until now, and am wondering if it would be much worse than applying to R3 NYU or R4 Cal?

Having taken a Kaplan instructor-led course and studied an additional 100 hours afterwards, I scored a 630 12/18/2010 (Q39, V38) on the official test (my best score before was a 620).

Lisa, Thanks. I must have missed your response. I just found it be searching on "defer". Of the 3+ years with my girlfriend, 2+ has been a distance relationship. I might be getting a job transfer to L.A./O.C. next month, which would be huge for us (she's in OC). I just want to cut down on ...
