<p>Hey, I know a lot of you guys are waiting for decisions anxiously, and I guess some of you will be really disappointed if you don't get in, but here's what I want to say:</p>

<p>I'm an international applicant and I don't have a high SAT score (2100+); I know there's almost no possibility of me getting accepted. At first I was very disappointed with my score and with myself. Every time I saw other students' 2300 or 2400 SAT score I felt like I was so stupid and not as good as others. But then I realized that one should never be controlled and judged by the so-called "standards". Scores, great schools, careers with high salaries, or any "lifetime success". Just be yourself, be brave, always believe in your own uniqueness, and enjoy your life. </p>

<p>So if you get rejected, you can be frustrated for a while, but always believe in yourself and cheer up!!!</p>

<p>There will be a lot of admits in the 2100+ range and many above that who are not offered admission. Columbia is looking for more than mere standardized test scores. Don’t count yourself out. Best of luck to all!</p>

<p>As Glido said, scores aren’t anywhere near everything. The big time schools like Columbia know your smart…what matters is what you’ve done. </p>

<p>And…GOOD LUCK!!!</p>
