<p>I'm an Chinese student now attending year 11 in Australia(I came here for year 11 and 12). Columbia is really my dream school from the age of 12 - -||..Except those standard tests, I know Columbia really evaluate students' ECs and ability, I hope anyone would spare some time here to have a look at my ECs because I'm really not confident enough with myself and not sure if I'm the Columbia standard student ^-^..</p>
